I think that most of the class did indeed conform there beliefs during the the past couple of months. It would have been hard not too. So much new information to be absorbed can lead to varying degrees of how much a person will believe and how much they are willing to research into. The notes and ideas are there, now it is up to us to take what we have learned and somehow apply it in a useful way, or in a way that will make us more well rounded. Ben Chitty's speech was just the thing our class needed to bring into light some of the realities of the war from a primary source. He was there and it would be hard to convince me that he was lying in front of our class. Call me a conformist, but I truly feel that what Mr. Chitty had to say was valid and a testament to what the true occurences were during the Vietnam War. He better helped me understand or at least start to comprehend what might have been going on there.
