Rodriguez characterizes Mexico as a country with a culture of tragedy and America as a country with a culture of comedy. However‚ America is comedic in the Greek sense-in the sense that America is not comedic at all. Rodriguez feels that Mexico‚ in being the place of tragedy‚ is better off. America‚ on the other hand‚ has to face the burden of optimism‚ and the subsequent let-downs. Thus‚ in a sense‚ he characterizes them in ways that oppose what he truly thinks of them. Mexico is described as

Desire”‚ Richard Rodriguez headed towards a path where he was unconsciously distancing himself from his family and becoming much more independent than he had expected. Rodriguez gives the reader a sentimental idea of the two contrary lives he had growing up‚ the life he had as a child‚ and the life he has as an educated man. He continued believing in his aspiration of how benefits of education can remarkably outweigh the past struggles of both his family and himself. Like Rodriguez‚ I also‚ in the

Essay: Educational Progress – Paul Freire To define what education is‚ Paulo Freire has analyzed how the school systems work in almost all institutions‚ to end up with the conclusion that education that is given to students does not fit with its definition. Although people do not agree on a single definition of education‚ it has been agreed by most thinkers and philosophers that education is a way to teach student how to think rather than telling them what to think.

By recognizing humanization we acknowledge that dehumanization is happening‚ when you dehumanize a person you have stolen their humanity and this leads to the person being oppressed.The oppressors also believe that the oppressed are in that position because they are lazy and incompetent.

Freire says that “Education is suffering from narration sickness.” (Freire‚ 1993‚ para. 3) This means that students are expected to learn what is taught to them and not open their minds to explore.

Freire explains this by saying that “Knowledge

Addie Ward In the writings Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Education for the Critical Consciousness Freire suggests a mechanical flaw of education as the “banking approach.” This theory is described as the student being the bank and the teacher making the deposits‚ known as knowledge. The student’s turn into “receptors” and “collectors” of information‚ that has no connection to their lives. In this banking concept the teacher ‘knows’ because he or she has already deposited the knowledge needed
