Seventh Task: Neutrality in educational settings

      Neutrality has been one of the most widely discussed topics throughout the whole world, especially when it comes down to moral and political issues, which are often devoid of compelling or conclusive evidence that may bring forth the absolute truth. Such paradigm acts as the groundwork for many people who would rather not stake their claims, or simply not take sides, and stay as the omniscient narrator of the novel.         In regards to educational settings, educators are generally inclined to provide a neutral pedagogical intervention in regards to topics that transcend a technical and methodological nature, which constitutes a predicament as that position does not enable learners to reflect upon the challenges they grapple with on a regular basis in their social contexts.

SIXTH TASK

        Where is the Outrage? Critical Pedagogy in Dark Times.                                 In this lecture, Henry Giroux gave us important aspects to keep in mind, when talking about education. he points out that education has been directly affected by political and corporate. unfortunately, the corporations and politics that are closely related have directly affected the way of teaching in an educational institution. Imposing new forms of teaching, which is based solely on the transmission of concepts, it is because this system does not want people to think and question those concepts. This could carry out new ways of thinking, putting into question the system itself. However, the market according to Henry not only has influenced in the education but also in the culture, removing the possibility to people not only to think by their own but also how they should act.  Givi...

That phrase, "go weak in the knees" literally happened. Even though my rational mind knew it was time--I was on the phone with him at home because he was too weak to come in to the doctor's office--I couldn't believe the end had come like that.  And it was...

by reading this article we can identify the different examples of critical thinking skills.             My patients are dying. But it’s their right to keep going.

He has been through five different types of chemotherapies, yet his kidney cancer continues to grow and metastasize, spreading to different organs. He now sits hunched in his wheelchair. With his worsening diarrhea, and sores in his mouth, he no longer eats with pleasure. Sleeping a few hours without pain has become a luxury. Down the hall at our teaching hospital, another patient sits silently, diagnosed with gallbladder cancer that has metastasized in...
