I’m reading an article about a chap called Paulo Freire. Paulo was a Brazilian educator. He developed a “philosophy of education” . Based on his experiences of working with people in Brazil who had very low literacy rates.
My very simple understanding is there there is conflict in conversation. Paulo talked in terms of oppressors and oppressed, and what needed to be done was to challenge the social order by getting the oppressed to think critically and ask questions.
Why am I talking about this? I was thinking about community media and the need for communities to have a voice. I think Gosport’s voice could be better. I have to say that I found the article to be quite interesting, and my attempt to paraphrase could be better.
OK, I hope this post isn’t too political. It is a little bit incoherent, but hopefully some of it does make sense.
