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. That is the source of enlightenment

the passage by Richard Rodriguez‚ he describes family Christmases past and present and the difference between the two. But even though it isn’t the main focus of the piece‚ a personal detail shines through; Rodriguez’s unbalanced relationships with his parents. After reading the passage it is evident that his mother is far more important to him and has had a much larger impact on his life than his father.
