Liberation requires transformation of society from "summary" of Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire
Liberation is not simply the act of freeing individuals from oppression. It goes beyond that - it demands a complete transformation of society. This transformation is essential because the very structure of society perpetuates oppression. In order to achieve liberation, we must challenge the existing power structures and systems of oppression. This requires a fundamental shift in the way we think about society and the relationships within it. We cannot simply tinker around the edges; we must address the root causes of oppression. Education plays a crucial role in this transformation. By empowering individuals to critically examine the world around them, we can begin to dismantle the systems that keep people oppressed. This process of critical consciousness allows individuals to see the world not as a fixed reality, but as something that can be changed. However, this transformation cannot be achieved in isolation. It requires collective action and solidarity among oppressed individuals. By coming together and working towards a common goal, we can begin to create a society that is truly just and equitable.- The goal of liberation is not just to free individuals from oppression, but to create a world where oppression is no longer possible. This requires a radical reimagining of society and a commitment to building a more just and equitable world for all.
