One element of chapter four that I found interesting was the\ndiscussion around revolution. Freire includes a quote by Lenin that says, \u201cwithout\na revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement\u201d (pg. 125). The\nidea is that a revolution can only be achieved with reflection AND action. Not\nonly that, but the oppressed must place more than a reactionary role in order\nfor the revolution to truly occur. It is not enough for leaders (the\noppressors) to be the thinkers and the oppressed to be the doers. Applying this\nto the classroom, this could very much look like a professor just doling out\nassignments and students responding by mimicking back what they have learned in\nclass from the professor. As the oppressed in this situation, they are not\ntruly participating in either reflection or action, just what they are being\nallowed to do by the professor (oppressor). Freire makes an interesting point along\nthis line. He mentions how if this does happen not only are the oppressed being\ndenied their revolution, but the oppressors are as well. Even oppressors who\nare trying to be part of the revolution, if they do not engage in dialogue, still\nretain characteristics of the dominator therefore they cannot be truly\nrevolutionary. Trying to carryout a revolution for the people is just as hard\nor about the same as trying to carry out a revolution without the people. Freire\nemphasizes that \u201cdialogue with the people is radically necessary to every\nauthentic revolution\u201d (pg. 128). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
