Friendly Debate in Classrooms

College is a great experience for all. This morning as I was thinking what to write about today, our class broke into debate over the Supreme Court's hearing on the Healthcare Bill passed by Congress.

College is a place where you can openly debate and not feel threatened by other students. In a classroom environment where more times than not the professor is the moderator you hear different views on issues. When you leave the classroom one of two things has happened (1) your original view has been strengthened due to knowing the othersides beliefs or (2) you have become more sympathetic to a particular issue or situation.

For me the first one is usually the case, but it is always great to keep an open mind and never walk away or shut yourself out because you disagree with a persons view. At NMSU you can always count on a friendly environment to share your opinions.

Always an Aggie,
