CHI 10 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Mind Control, Curbed
Document Summary
For the most part is all about interaction. Freire explains that dialogue is an encounter between men and women and is an act of creation, meaning that it must not serve for domination or forceful purposes. Any person who cannot acknowledge themselves as mortal (like everyone else, having no special powers) have a long road ahead of them before they can encounter dialogue. At the encounter there are only people learning together, attempting to learn more than they already know. Most importantly, true dialogue cannot exist unless critical thinking is involved, the dialoguers must engage in critical thinking together. Without dialogue, there is no communication and without communication there can be no education. Numerous political and educational plans have failed because of heavy concentration on personal views and lack of communication. Humans exist in a world that is constantly changing and altering, allowing humans to be aware of themselves and other beings.
