Thesis Defense- Senior Spotlight: Youssef Choukair Thesis statement: A truly free society must be centered around the freedom to pursue knowledge and truth. When examining Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and Plato’s Republic, they portray a society where the control of knowledge and freedom is vital to maintaining order, while Plato values truth as a way to achieve “The Good Life”. Books: Brave New World and Plato’s Republic After high school I will be studying pre-med at Grand Canyon University. Congratulations and good luck today! (fb)

In my thesis, I use the books Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and the book of Genesis to discuss the human nature of temptation. I speak on how Temptation in many forms is a universal aspect of human nature. By examining these two books, one can see that Temptation is only manageable when one has a strong faith, giving one a framework for how to live a moral life. After I graduate I plan to go to scottsdale college studying biology later transferring to GCU, beginning my path to becoming a pediatrician. (fb)
