HENRY GIROUX: Where is the OUTrage

Henry Giroux: Where is the Outrage? Critical Pedagogy in Dark Times

          The Educational System should be as it is expected. There is always some factors which do not allow to improve the way of teaching due to the fact that always Capitalism is going to be first. Taking into account some ideas that Mr. Henry shared in his lecture, there are some aspects that are totally interesting as well as truth. For instance, training students in the workforce, avoiding the pleasure of learning and making young generation guilty.

"Giving Youth a Chance to Build Capacity and Agency to Realize Their Own Potential"

          First, training students to workforce proves that the educational system is taking away some important element from each student. For instance, some abilities are not being taken into account such as the art sense, creativity. Then, avoiding the pleasure of learning provides a huge gap in students owing to the fact that there is not a way of not getting any pleasure through the process of learning. That is something that should change, because some students, especially in primary schools, do not understand the reason why they should go to school. Sometimes they feel obligated, and it is sad because with learning anyone could explore their identity and believe in a new generation. And last but not least, making the young generation guilty. It is really common to hear, as Mr. Henry Giroux said, that this young generation is the "zero generation, zero future, zero jobs", that it is not providing anything to the reality; however, who is the real guilty? No one thinks about what happened behind this 'lost generation'.

          To sum up, there are different issues related to the education that is pretty hard to discuss. Mr. Henry Giroux gives excellent standpoints that makes everyone to reflect; although, we are not used to /well, some people/ to talk about those aspects because they are considered only for critical people. Those people who found the way to analyze different aspect and not to worry about their ideas. In other words, we all should "imagine the unimaginable".
