Seminar (CNN) – Anna Nafziger

I found this seminar to be both informative and interesting to attend. Going into it, I figured that I would just sit back and listen. That’s not the way it went though. This particular seminar brought you into the conversation, so I had to think about what the people around me were saying, while trying to keep up with all the political lingo that was being thrown around. They started by showing us interview of Goshen College by CNN. I thought the students represented Mennonites well, and had some very interesting things to say. One of the points that was mentioned was about citizenship. They said that we should think of ourselves as being global citizens, not only American citizens. We should not only think about what’s good for our country, but what’s good for the world. That was just one of the many interesting points that they mention during their interview. After the interview, there was a time for discussion and questions about the video.
