I'm sorry, this is a short-answer forum designed for text specific questions. We are unable to provide students with writing assignments. Freire begins his book by introducing the idea of developing a critical consciousness in the oppressed. He also introduces the problem of the fear of freedom in the oppressed, who are affected by being submerged in a situation of oppression. Oppressed people must see outside themselves, understand their situation, and begin to think about their world. This happens through dialogue in education. Freire makes it clear that his perspective is radical, and that to agree with his theories the reader must embrace change.
