This
paper explains that Paulo Freire is adamant in his belief that societal
transformation can only come about when all persons recognize their
membership in the
human race and their potential to serve as
change agents through shared
dialogue and a desire to understand the plight of others, regardless of socioeconomic status, racial, ethnic or
religious barriers. The author points out that educators must take into consideration all cultural, religious and spiritual factors, which attribute to a person's experience as a human being and their self-described place in the world to attempt to engage with others to transform the world. The paper relates that the author, who is a social work student, believes that change is possible based on Freire's position presented in this book. Long quotations.
