This summary discusses Paulo Freire's views on diversity and social justice in education. Freire believed that education is where power and politics are expressed, as it shapes people's understanding of what it means to be human. Education gives people the opportunity to critically reflect on societal problems and find solutions. Through the course, the author developed a deeper understanding of adult education and literacy, especially among underserved groups. Their view of adult literacy expanded from just engaging with text, to comprehending what it means to be a literate adult. Freire argued that no one chooses illiteracy, but rather social inequalities lead to it, so education must aim to empower the oppressed.
