I was walking down Fountain Mall last evening when I noticed a little-used area of campus.
It seems as if the world is talking about the violence and protests in the Middle East. With so much news flying around, it can be difficult to make sense of what is going on.
The protests in Libya received the most initial focus, due to the tragic deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The cause for this attack was first attributed to an offensive anti-Islamic video that had been posted on YouTube. However, reports have recently surfaced that suggest otherwise.
In the U.S. it’s completely permissible to have your own opinions and beliefs. However, people tend to forget there is still a line of social responsibility that cannot be crossed without equal repercussions. History has amply taught us that words can be just as deadly, if not more, than any physical weapon. In this case, it was a film.
One would find it crazy if they would stop and think about how far humans have come as a civilization.
We came from very meek beginnings. No matter what your personal belief is concerning the evolution of mankind, no one is contending that the first humans walked around eating Raising Canes, talking about the latest Baylor football scores and debating medical ethics on their new iPhones.
Although some think the economy is improving, another crisis has arisen in various cities around the country.
Due to failed negotiations between musicians and management, many symphonies have officially canceled their concerts for the coming year.
A thought: what is the true cost of an honors degree? What are the benefits?
We can’t speak to the post-Baylor effects an honors transcript might grant the hard-working holder (being but students ourselves), but today we’d like to talk about in-house benefits.
Many of my high school experiences have made me think and wonder about the mentality of my generation.
It has the proverbial elephant in the room of life.
It is inescapably apparent that Baylor has become a lot more green lately.
However in spite of the sweet look of the recent makeover, there are significant drawbacks.
Namely, the traffic this has caused on every major thoroughfare on campus.
