Like these speakers, we must learn to understand the power of words and we must learn how to use words. We must realize, as with any other action, to take responsibility for our words and the ideas they invoke. A word, in fact, is the physical body of an idea, an audial or visual transmission of our mental conjuring. In turn, words are the fragments of self. Our thoughts and ideas reveal ourselves.
Self is the only truth any one person can be certain of.
Self-awareness is what gives us our voice. Voice is not simply the act or routine of speech but the very body of our words and selves. Truth is enacted in voice. As a liberal arts college, Juniata maintains a variety of forums for voice. Students share small and personal classes with their professors, we learn in a supportive environment.
