Thesis: Reimagining West Chester with dorms or academic buildings in different areas would completely alter the outcome of how students work and play. Having the difference between academic and social is an important key in the foundation of education. Having this separation of the two is a small choice but has a great impact on college kids.
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.”
“Indeed, the interests of the oppressors lie in “changing the consciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them”; for the more the oppressed can be led to adapt to that situation, the more easily they can be dominated.”
Sarah Veneziale and Cait Mangini Comment:
Positive: We think that the quotes you picked out to back up your theses work really well. The first one will definitely help explain that the separation will help students not be dominated by educators. We agree that the division of social and academic will definitely have a much better impact on the students and their time at WCU.
Constructive: Think about what impact will be made. Try to go more in depth on what the impact will be on the students in your thesis. For example, What specific benefits will the students receive? Also try to answer the question of what exactly would be separated.
Positive: I think your thesis is good and you can directly relate it to Freires essay which is part of the task. Using the buildings to evaluate the “space” at WCU is a good idea which definitely impacts students and teachers lives. Your quotes were also a good choice because they talk about poeple living inside or outside of a society. That quote could easily relate to the students here at WCU.
Constructive: Your idea with the space between the buildings is good but where else does space play an importance part at this school? Maybe think about the space between the students themselves and how that can apply to Freire.
