    The Church of Scientology is no stranger to controversy and has been surrounded by them since its beginnings when it was founded by L. Ron Hubbard, in 1952. Hubbard was a successful science fiction writer and philosopher. In 1950, he wrote the self-help book, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, which many would say was the beginning of Scientology. The practice of Dianetics is the basis and forerunner of the Scientology religion. The official Dianetics website, dianetics.org, explains the practice as the following:…

    On August 26th, IHCDA is will be hosting the Indiana Housing Conference at the J.W. Marriott and are pleased to announce that our keynote speaker will be the distinguished photographer, Tom Casalini. We wanted to highlight his background before discussing his current project we are looking to showcase. Tom attended Indiana University and New York Institute of Photography. After working in Georgia for a period of time, he eventually returned to Indiana as Indiana’s official state photographer. ‘Ordinary Heroes’ and ‘Famous Hoosiers’ are a couple galleries that he has previously completed which attest to his ability to portray symbolic figures on a personal level. In his piece ‘Ordinary Heroes’ he captures the individuality of Medal of Honor recipients and highlights who they are as people in street clothes, just as normal people who have performed admirable services of duty for their country. In his piece ‘Famous Hoosiers’ he captured Indiana natives like Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Fuzzy Zoeller, John Mellancamp, John Wooden, Jim Davis and more to celebrate some of the most acclaimed Hoosiers and their way they represent Indiana through their industries.

    The Church of Scientology is one of the most... controversial... new religious movements to have arisen in the last century. Many have accused the Church of being a cult that brainwashed, abuses, and financially defrauds its members, charging ridiculous amounts for their service. Scientologists have, in response, rebuked the claims, saying that they have a genuine religion that is misrepresented and persecuted. The Church has been so aggressive in its argument, in fact, that their claims have been refuted as harassment. More controversy has arisen around Scientology's belief that people's souls, called by them "thetans," reincarnate and have lived on other planets before Earth. Some of the more detailed teachings are not revealed to members until they have donated thousands of dollars to the Church! Another odd belief of the Church is that psychiatry is destructive and abusive, and must…

    Attention- getter: What would you do if somebody came into this classroom and pointed a gun at you as if they were going to kill you for no reason? First thing that would come to mind is, “Am I really going to die right now” and “Why is a person on campus with a gun trying to kill people?” Sad part is, an event like this has happened many times in the past. For instance, the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting as well as the Colorado movie theatre shooting that all took place within the past year[example]. These mass shootings have brought up the issue of controlling who is able to purchase guns and if it is safe and necessary to roam around in public armed with a weapon.…
