The Elite Eight

Well, I'm pretty excited to find out which of the "Elite Eight" events will go on to win the championship and become our next area of investigation in Aquinas: Truth in Society. The event I have been researching with my group has been the Tiananmen Square protest of 1989, and I feel that it has great potential to have an inquiry done about the beliefs involved in it. There are a few other events that I also feel could host an interesting investigation, with the remaining events lacking a concrete direction. It has been a great learning experience to look at these events in such detail, and look beyond what is broadcasted about them in the news. Seeing many different perspectives on these significant events results in recognizing interesting beliefs, and seeing how they were challenged or changed.
