Chapter 2 Making Connections 1


Life is not always straight forward, there is no one way to go. Instead it is a maze of paths that go in every direction and have different signs telling one which way is out. This is life, there will be time is everyone's life where one receives mixed messages, these messages coming from any source imaginable. As one can imagine it can be tough to sort out which of these messages are bad and which ones are good. The first mixed message I can think of on campus is the Tobacco policy. There are signs on every door on campus saying that individuals can't smoke 25 feet of closer to the buildings. Then there are maps on campus saying that individuals can only smoke in the parking lots. So which one is it? I see faculty members who follow the rules and smoke in the parking lots and then I see the students who smoke where ever they please. So these two paths are definitely very tangled and confusing now and are sending these mixed messages. It would be interesting to talk to University Police or another faculty member on the issue.

  1. I see the same thing and to me it is still surprising as to the number of people who still smoke. we all know how dangerous those things are and how they can effect your life and body. It just doesn't make sense that someone would put that much stress and damage on their body. regarding where they can smoke i think the state law is 25 feet from any building but the campus can designate special areas for smoking. that is why people do it everywhere.
