Assignment 1c

I read Katherine's (but she goes by Katy) blog and she has two kids, 8 months and another 8 year old! :) She describes in the Freire assignment that Paulo worked with repressed, poor, illiterate people until he was thrown in jail in 1964 in Bolivia. Freire also wrote a book that sold over 750,000 copies, called Pedagogy of the Oppressed. The second blog I looked at was Anthony's. He thinks of California as a very liberal place, and lives 16.78 miles away from the SRJC campus. He then describes how Paulo Freire stressed dialogue in popular and informal in education. One term he Freire commonly used was "praxis" which is an action that is informed and linked to certain values. This information will help in our Humanities class because his ideals are a basis of what we will be learning about: studying other cultures and how their cultures differs from our own, which is exactly what Freire aimed to do. It also points out that education is a big player in any culture and humanity.
