It is
a sublime fragrance that attracts one's, and at the same time, it smells. All
of us can use it to save people or to destroy them, to bring to life or to kill
their soul. It is one and only has one constant: it transforms anyone who exerts
it. Supreme Authority; in other words power, is a vital force, which penetrate
the arteries of those who have it; it dictate to flesh and bones as well as
turn upside down its masters, completely, has carte blanch. Although, power is
a vital factor proper to man life. Us cannot conceive an established society
without a source of authority that orientates the people; Power itself is not
unique predicament, its difficult relationship with human beings, its presence
is not exclusive problem, but its provocations, to which mankind without even
trying succumbs. It is necessary to set up some rules and mechanisms in order
to control its outcomes, something that should be done through education and
nothing else with knowledge, the idea of power will be significant; the
capacity to change, and this capacity is inside every one of us.
Judas
Iscariot sells down the river Jesus for coin of the realm; maybe it is the
reason why a world of does the same thing in a certain point of this life. As
educators, Almighty Dollar is controlling the last vestige of dignity, identity
and social responsibility; students are the martyrs of those economical
arrangements that we are doing with the executive sides. Somebody would ask
about the way that I call this I would say human trafficking, not taking into
account that detrimental it could be, we are trafficking with their grey
matter. Educators are condemning us to the eternal slavery of these parties,
which are giving birth to the human race without dreams, without a life project,
including each and every this behind the scenes that they hint. The
above-mentioned are taking possession of the last throb of the heart, even
worst one's last sight. In the pedagogy of the oppressed, the Brazilian
educator Paulo Freire (1970) describes the education as a narrative. The
relationship between students and teachers, this person put up an argument,
plays out according to a script much like that of a play. In this script, the
teachers and narrators holding all the facts and the students are empty
receptacles to be filled up with the facts. For Freire, the dilemma with this
model is that the plot written by those with political and economic power for
the purpose of perpetuating oppressive social modus Operandi. The only way to
end the tyranny is to rewrite the scenario and construct a different narrative,
of what it means to engaged in education[1].
Being
in the tight line between the genuine and wicked confuses us when thou are a
child in a school. Students take place examined with the perspective of those
who neglect, what is the importance of lifeless object; numbers and letters
interfere with your in classrooms, with the exception of thy self does not be
familiar with their utility. All of us do not imagine the infinite greatness
hidden inside them; without may concern you with too much information, learners
are a delight in and luxuriate in each moment there. Might be more than a few
people do not acquire too much academic knowledge, but they become well versed
in how to live in a society. As educators, we cannot play hide and seek from
this tangible existence. There are no other possibilities to provide color to
our community; it has now. We have to chance the perception of education as
soon we get away from our turmoil; we have to give to critical-thinking a room
for debate, give them a possibility to think differently. Furthermore, I
consider that going to school is just one of our multiple experiences as social
beings has to complete and that only knowledge are schools located.
Both
dignity and virtue, which have within an ace of fade away from the right side
of the earth, are latent in honest men, but they succumb to the mediocrity of
those who govern our communities. They will never be true leaders, but
criminals. I feel remorse for all the blood we had sacrificed, aside from I
bear in mind there will be a true to life, one with hope and honesty. All those
who follow tyrant leaders are as despicable as those people are. Those are
traitors of their societies that are why I despise them.

Wow! I was delighted with such gorgeous word that come from a very sensitive heart and mind. I got speechlees.
ResponderBorrarExcellent! It is just plausible what you wrote. I totally agree when you state that we are trafficking our students' grey matter. And this great reference that you used on the Pegagogy of the Oppressed that talks about the Banking Education by Paulo Freire. It is about the same situation of the play: Students are treated as Tabula Rasa, as long as teachers separately fill their brains up with nosnsensical information.
That is why when students are out of classrooms can't put into practice the little information the caught up in class, since the this meaningful input were not stored and interrelated in the brain, which is a potential information recycling organ.
Nonwithstanding, we as educators still have an opportunity to scarcely change our reality and start redirecting the purpose of education in schools that is learning for life. Although we have been defeated in this inminent war, we can still trigger this emancipatory feeling and enhance students to critically think, impact on peoples' minds and change our chaotic realm.
Thanks for commenting Cesar. I work really hard on the blog, so looks great and catchy!! :)
ResponderBorrarI think this entrance was a great display of rhetoric, you said something simple with elaborated ideas and examples. In the strict sense of the idea you want to convey, I totally agree, education is still regarded as it was centuries ago, some school teachers still see their students as receptors of knowledge only them (almighty teachers) can transmit, I have always believe that we must create some close relationship with our students, build confidence and a comfortable environment, and provide real life tasks, if we want them to learn, but learn for real!
ResponderBorrarIn the sense o writing, sometimes it is difficult to follow you or to understand well the specific idea that you are trying to convey, maybe you should re-read your writing before you post them, or have them peer reviewed, so your great prose is even greater!
Thanks for commenting fifi!! next time i will sent to you for proofreading!! :)
