Consciousness Odds are that you have‚ at one point or another‚ experienced oppression. Odds are also that you have been the oppressor at times‚ whether you’ve realized it or not. Pedagogy of the oppressed by Paulo Freire‚ does a clever and fantastic way of explaining how we’ve come to the duality of being both the oppressed and oppressor and how we can break away from it‚ as humanly as possible.

On page 18‚ chapter one the author states that she herself received teachings from Freire. She stated that she was “deeply moved by his presence‚ by the way in which his manner of teaching exemplified his pedagogical theory” (Hooks 18). This is not surprising due to the admiration the author had towards this man before she even met him. She went on to say that not everyone with teachings from Freire had a kindred positive experience. I thought this statement took away some of the power she

Words Hurt. In the Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paolo Freire‚ Freire provides an in depth analysis and definition of oppression. Many believe that the oppressed are the only ones on the receiving end of damage but in dehumanizing others‚ the oppressor is also subject to damage. Dehumanization “marks not only those whose humanity has been stolen‚ but also (though in a different way) those who have stolen it” (1).

the Book “Pedagogy of the Oppressed” I was moved by the statement which read “almost always‚ during the initial stage of the struggle‚ the oppressed‚ instead of striving for liberation‚ tend themselves to become the oppressors‚ or sub-oppressors.” (Freire) pg. 45 This has been made evident time and time again where the oppression‚ no matter how subtle or extreme‚ has cause the oppressed to have a distorted view of themselves or possibly have adopted the view impose upon them by the oppressor.

Over the years‚ I have had many teachers who have taught a variety of ways. One that stayed with me was an example of the problem-posing concept. I was a freshman in high school and I was taking American History. History was not my best subject especially because my past history teachers lectured non-stop or we took notes the entire time.

Arguments. The education system that Freire reacted to. Freire reacted to the banking education system. It saw learners as empty vacuums or clean slates.
