                                                         Week 15: Final As the first semester ends, I look back at all the interesting and lively discussions this FYE class as had and I think next semester I am really going to miss it. Its funny to think about how I expected so much to dislike this class, but now I want it to continue. In this FYE class we discussed a ton of different issues from asking good inquisitive questions to a two-week long deliberation on the “Make your Home Among Strangers” controversy.

He was a terrible person who should not be glorified. It seems wrong that companies would profit off these things.                  On Wednesday we listen to the song " Al Otro Lado Del Rio" (Link Here)  and learned that it won a Oscar. W e also discussed his intentions and whether or not he was justified. If he was evil or a hero?
