Balances Of Values And Academiic Freedom Of Inquiry

Balances of Values and Academiic Freedom of Inquiry


Dear Mr. R. Kirby Godsey,


     In the process of life we face many challenges and many crossroads. We

have many choices and many decisions to make. In making these decisions we must

keep in mind the moral values our parents have taught us since we were born.

Those Christian values should guide our lives and the choices we make. These

same values should also guide at school as well. In our pursuit of knowledge, we

should keep these values in mind.

     In our never-ending road of learning, we are granted with many academic

freedoms. We have the freedom to question and try to learn new ideas. We also

have the freedom to disagree with the material presented to us. We can disagree

and voice our opinions, but in an orderly fashion.

     In exercising those freedoms, we should do so with maturity and

responsibility. As students, we are responsible for learning all the content of

any course we study. We are free to take exception to the views or information

presented to us, and we are free to reserve judgment about matters of opinions.

     Sometimes, in our quest for knowledge, there becomes a conflict between

our beliefs we are accustomed to and the material presented to us. When there is

a difference, we should not ignore the idea or block it out. We should feel free

to learn and question new ideas. Just because we learn something doesn't mean we

have to accept it. We should leave ourselves open to new ideas. When we do this

we become very well rounded individuals.

     An example of this is the issue involving the debate between  evolution

and creationism. As Christ
