This was powerful! It means nothing to teach students what year the Cold War ended. It is important to teach students about the world. It is important to give students an understanding of what is really going on. This way they can become informed adults and make opinions that are based on what they really thing and not what they have been told. But unfortunately that is about all I got out of this article. I don't know if it was because of the examples that I couldn't relate to or the wording, or even the length but this was tough for me. I actually find myself looking to other blogs of classmates to see if they had a grip of what this was about.
I do understand the cultural battle of power and wealth and how there is always struggle. I do like the example of how American's think of themselves as the leaders in freedom and we excel in promoting freedoms. But really we are a "terrorist regime."
Ideology was a section that I thought was common sense, and the author uses that exact word to describe what ideology is. We are all born with ideology and it is what our world revolves around. But it is also a negative in our lives with others.
The section on hidden curriculum was weird to me. I assume there are studies to back up their facts but I have never thought of this or recognized it.
Reading the rest of the article was like looking into the sun while cutting onions, it hurt!
