 Privilege power and Different 

by, Alan Johnson


Quotes:

"privilege is always a problem for people who don't have it and for people who do, because privilege is always in relation to other."... " if people in privileged groups don't include themselves in the solution, the default is to leave it to blacks and women and asians, Latinos, Native Americans, ect and the lower working classes to do it own their own. but these groups can't do it on their own, because they don't have the power to change entrenched systems of privilege by themselves." (Pg10)


These quotes really cough my attention and opened my mind how much we need to work together as a whole, if these group are fighting for their own they already carrying a disadvantage meanwhile if privilege groups would contribute to be part of the solution there would be more awareness,

The first quotes made me realize how privilege has always been there, people refuse to work together to create solutions instead of problems, privilege comes with everything,  


"ignoring privilege keeps us in a state of unreality, by promoting the illusion that difference by itself is the problem,"

This quotes connects to reality because we live in a society were ignoring the problem and living in an unreal is a better solution then actually finding a solution and working as a whole,

Do You Have a Solution Looking for Problem?

Blog 8 Ableism

Blog 9 Eliminating Ableism in Education Thomas Hehir Skarlet Pena Quotes: "Cyndi Jones argues that, like the image of the poster child, this image implies that a disabled person is presumed deserving of pity — instead of respect — until the person proves capable of overcoming disability through extraordinary feats (Shapiro, 1994). Both of these dominant stereotypes of dis-ability, "Tiny Tims" and "supercrips," have at their core ableist perspectives, the failure to accept and value disabled ped e as they are." pg 3 This quote stood out to me because when you first meet someone that is disabled some negative thoughts that come to mind are that they are weak or that they can no longer live their lives as a “regular person” but that is not true . I believe that they deserve to be treated for respect and compassion for what they are going through especially for those that are going through life with their disability and without the help of anyone. ...

Queer in schools

Reflection// Argument #9 Queer in schools!! Queering in schools is a concept that has been gaining traction in recent years. It refers to the process of challenging and disrupting heteronormative and cisnormative assumptions, practices, and policies in educational settings. This is done in order to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all students, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In this weeks reading Rethinking Schools believe that queering in schools is a necessary and important step towards achieving social justice in education. They argue that schools should not only be safe spaces for LGBTQ+ students, but also places where all students are taught to respect and value diversity and difference. However, they also acknowledge that queering in schools is not without its challenges. Many educators may lack the knowledge or resources to effectively implement queer-inclusive curricula and policies. There may also be resistance from parents,...

Finn

Finn Literacy with an Attitude Reflection: In the article Finn expresses how poor class students received functional literacy that promotes compliance while students from privileged backgrounds were taught above average and powerful literacy that promotes power and independence. It is connected to my opinion on education equality which is that I believe everyone should have the chance to receive above average education from educators that are extremely capable of providing powerful literacy and support. “The struggle for justice and equality requires empowering education and powerful literacy”.Some students these days no longer care about learning and having the opportunity to have a better future but it is not entirely their fault. The educational system right now is not in support of all children take for example the school to prison pipeline.There is an actual system built to make students fail especially students of color. This article is a reminder that eduactional equality...
