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.

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.
