worldview and truth
By Chuck on Jun 12, 2008 in Featured
ok, so i’m writing a chapter in my forthcoming book on the issue of truth. it’s in a section where i’m explaining how college-age people think through 5 different areas of life differently than any other age-stage - one of those being truth. so, i have finished my draft of this chapter. well, i still have to finalize the conclusion. but, i thought i would throw out this question:
what are the major things you see affecting college-age people as they pursue finding what they personally believe to be true?
i have my thoughts, but you’ll have to read those in the book. just kidding. i’ll tell you, but before i do, i wanted to throw out the question to see what thoughts you may have…
I think a major issue is figuring out independence issues. All of the college students that I know are living at home and going to school part-time and working the rest of the time. All of them seem to not be motivated to move out, except for the occasional student who wants to go to Europe for a year and “discover” themselves.

There are no absolute truths in our world anymore. The world says do what you want and unfortunately some parents are showing the same attitude as the world.

Social acceptance. College students seem to be cool with “what’s true for me may not be true for you” but let’s discuss it, and then go out for the night.
