Freire discusses his beliefs of how modern education is forced by the state onto students and the greater public‚ as a violent oppression.

Do people learn who they are only when they are forced into action? Well‚ in my opinion‚ the answer at this question would be “no”. It is true that in a difficult situation people react better in their self-interest. Even the most peaceful of us‚ in a hard situation‚ react as maybe no one would have expected.

questions. Why do people cry? What is the significance of crying? And do you think the one is weak if one cries? In fact‚ crying is not gender‚ age or personality specific. From my perspective‚ crying is not a sign of weakness‚ but it is an innate ability and one of the most effective ways to reduce stress‚ release anger and express joy. It is also like a stop sign at a crossroad for you to look back and reflect on your shortcomings. Some may associate or stereotype people that cry as weak and

Reflection of the Pedagogy of the Oppressed So far throughout my school career‚ I have noticed that I have become a victim of memorizing information the teacher preaches but I never really analyze the importance. For example‚ the Healthcare debate that has been going on throughout the last couple of years.

Nuclear weapons cause unimaginable death and destruction. Without a doubt‚ these are the most powerful weapons mankind has ever built. However‚ there is also a scientific side to this weaponry which Teddy Roosevelt may have indeed called very big sticks. Nuclear weapons work by releasing the enormous amounts of energy that are contained in the bonds of atoms. The bonds of atoms can be broken in two ways. The first way is by fission‚ and the second way is by fusion. Fission works by the splitting
