The Atmosphere Of The Home Is Prolonged

This Book Will Present Some Aspects Of What The Writer Has Termed The Pedagogy Of The Oppressed, A Pedagogy Which Must Be Forged With, Not For, The Oppressed (whether Individuals Or Peoples) In The Incessant Struggle To Regain Their Humanity.

The Parent-child Relationship In The Home Usually Reflects The Objective Cultural Conditions Of The Surrounding Social Structure. If The Conditions Which Penetrate The Home Are Authoritarian, Rigid, And Dominating, The Home Will Increase The Climate Of Oppression. As These Authoritarian Relations Between Parents And Children Intensify, Children In Their Infancy Increasingly Internalize The Paternal Authority.

No Pedagogy Which Is Truly Liberating Can Remain Distant From The Oppressed By Treating Them As Unfortunates And By Presenting For Their Emulation Models From Among The Oppressors. The Oppressed Must Be Their Own Example In The Struggle For Their Redemption (freire, 1970, P. 54).

The Trust Of The People In The Leaders Reflects The Confidence Of The Leaders In The People.

Dialogue Cannot Exist, However, In The Absence Of A Profound Love For The World And Its People.
