In our discussion group we talked about Friere’s quote “The truth is, however, that the oppressed are not “marginals,” are not people living “outside” society. They have always been “inside”—inside the structure which made them “beings for others.” ” We also discuss our opinions towards this very much similar situation we deal with today when it comes to oppression. We shared our opinions some people thought there should be more opportunities due to the fact their is still racism. Lower class still to this day have less chances and opportunities then people that are privileged with money. They are in the society but more outsiders. They are commonly seen has two completely different things. Jake connects to the Friere’s quote due to the fact he’s apart of a foundation that was for a kid who fell off a cliff in California while hiking and died. The kids passion was helping out the people in poverty in Chester, we all agree that there should be more people like Andrew who went out of his way to help the less fortunate kids in Chester. The foundation involves people pairing up with kids in Chester and mentor them for school events. They also collect backpacks and school supplies and donate them to the kids in Chester that can’t afford school supplies.
