New meanings of old words (V)


To me , the word Inquiry means knowledge. It means adding new things to my growing mind. That’s why it's a good class to start college with. Inquiry is a search for truth. That’s what college is all about. It's about searching for true facts. Inquiry causes me to ask questions and find my own answers. Which is a great way to become independent. For instance, I heard the word persuasion in one of my classes on Friday. I thought I knew what it meant, but there is a bigger meaning behind it. It's the same thing with the word responsibility. I never really thought about the word until I started college. It turns out that responsibility goes way beyond its own definition.

Persuasion-N- the action or fact of persuading someone or of being persuaded to do or believe something.

Responsibility-N-the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone.
