Assignment 1c

The first blog I chose to read was Jessica Bozzettos. I learned that she is taking this humanities class because she would like to learn about other cultures and the people that she lives around. From her post on Paulo Freire I first learned that Freires life as a child was one of poverty that later lead him to fight against hunger, and even further down the line would lead to all of the acomplishments he achieved. I also learned that Paulo Freires ideas had a global impact rather than just affecting Brazil. He traveled all over the world working as an educator and trying to help those in need of him. I feel this information relates to our class because it shows how many cultures can be in need of the same assistance. No mater where in the world one lives we all have similar struggles.

The second blog I chose to read was Jeana Wiemeyers. I learned she views California as a very diverse place in culture, landscape and weather. The first thing I learned from her blog on Paulo Freire was that Freire believed that to be educated was more than simply acquiring knowledge. He felt students should learn to make a difference in the world instead of just learning facts. The second thing I learned was that Freire believed people should work together and help each other learn instead of being lectured or talked at. He felt that students and teachers alike could benefit from each other instead of a one-sided relationship. I feel that what I learned connects to our class because it shows that even people from other cultures value the same things as our culture does.
