Pedagogy Of The Oppressed

Improved Essays
The class was very educational and beneficial, I can’t believe we finished the first book that was assigned for the course, it feels like it was yesterday when we start reading the book. “the Pedagogy of the oppressed” is the most amazing book I read so far. If I say little bit about my view of the book, for me it was very hard to understand at first, but very interesting book, it contains more education than u may think when you first read. To get the general idea you have to understand each and every word deeply to connect with this book.
I remember myself repeating the same paragraph couple times, just to understand it clearly. And I also used dictionary for most of the words. It all depends how you understand from you reading. I think

    Overall I found this book very interesting. It covered a vast majority of topics and was very eye-opening on a lot of issues. Most of these issues happened in the past, but they clearly have affected education throughout the years and will affect education in the future. Many topics are controversial and it is very important to be educated on these so that as educators we can deal with them as they arise. This book did a wonderful job with addressing a lot of those issues, and made myself question if the world could ever go back to the segregated ways it once was.…

    This course has been very beneficial to my development as a culturally grounded social worker. There were four components that stood out to me. One thing that stood out to me was the article regarding the experiences of Vietnamese refugees. The article painted a great picture of the treatment of those who are from underrepresented populations. The feelings you described were raw and represent feelings of others who might feel uncomfortable with speaking up for themselves when they are treated properly.…

    I love the song a lot I keep listening to it over and over deciding what I feel about it. I was thinking that I could have a play going on in my mind while I heard it would be easier to translate those images into words. The song was created especially for the movie “the hobbit” that was mostly about a war. So this great idea came to mind, if I used the ongoing theme of war. But give the meaning of the words a twist it would be amazing.…

    Question 1. In his book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Paulo Freire (1970), evaluates the concepts of dehumanizations and how it relates to oppression. According to Freire (1970), the act of dehumanization is a distortion that justifies demonizing people making them seem less than human. Freire argues that: Dehumanization, which marks not only those whose humanity has been stolen but also (though in a different way) those who have stolen it is a distortion of the vocation of becoming more fully human...”…

    To begin, I want to say I find this course insightful. Through the weeks, I have come to accept that everyone has unconscious bias, but also, that it is not something to be ashamed of, if anything, it is something to learn from. Before this class, I was not sure how to articulate my experiences on cultural differences. Also, I did not have a good grasp on culture and how it affects us all differently. I have learned to recognize that I have my own ethnocentrism, that it is okay to feel proud of my own culture in the sense that, maybe there are other ways to do things, but I like my way better because that is the way I am accustomed to.…

    Paulo Freire discussed the teacher-student contradiction in the text of “Pedagogy of the Oppressed.” This contradiction is when students are regulated by teachers. The teachers have the power over the students, which places them in a situation that limits their freedom as a whole. The Banking Concept of Education is the reason for the lack of freedom for students. This concept contradicts students as objects, and not individuals.…
