The first point that are similar between these two stories was race. In today's world many people still can't get alone with people that look different from them, talk different from then, or dress different from them. People always categorize others before they get to know them.
The second point that caught my attention were that both stories needs a rebuilding system. In Naomi Zack story Race, Life, Death, Identity, Tragedy, and Good Faith it says that if your racialized that demographically their lives are shorter and they are more likely to be mudered than a nonracialized person. So if people could come together there would be less death because of race.
The third point that stands out to me from both stories; is that you have to find yourself. In Curry A Paradigm for Transformative Education if the people was able to get the education they needed they would have been able to create their on idenity. In Zack story Race, Life, Death, Identity, Tragedy, and Good Faith idenity could of been found by; taking care of their selves and focusing more on there lives than others

I agree with your second point although I did not touch on that so much in my blog. It is crazy how people who are racialized have been demographically proven to have shorter lives. I just am not sure exactly why. I think it goes back to tie in with what I had said about people blaming things on being because they are black, white or whatever they may be. A lot of people settle with things and just go on thinking, "oh, well im black(or mexican) so im never going to get hired there." Or how they say African American women tend to have higher blood pressure and are more likely to have strokes than a white woman. REALLY? Who says? The statistics on that may be true, but honestly I dont believe that that is bilogically correct. I think people trick them selves into believing stereotypical things like that. Which in effect, happens.
ReplyDeleteyou have very good points but i would challenge you to look deeper into what they were saying. yes they wanted to make race applicable to everyday life but they were also going into to the philosophical aspects of race. I would really like to hear what you have to say about that aspect of these papers.
