Assignment #1c

The first blog I read was Taylor Ford's. One thing that I learned about her was that she feels as if non- Californians judge us from what they see on television. She had some very good information on Paulo Freire and one new thing I learned about him was that he studied psychology and philosophy at the University of Recife. I also learned from her that he passed up a law job to work as a teacher which was his true calling. This relates to Humanities because it shows how many great people have passed up other options of jobs and just because they are offered something they always strive for their dream.
The next blog I read was Carly Overlid's. Something about her that I found out was that she has never really blogged before except in high school when she created a web page. One new thing that learned about Paulo Freire was that during his time you had to be able to read to vote. Another new thing I learned was that he originally had all of his books in Portuguese and was later translated into English and Spanish. This will relate to Humanities because it shows how other countries operate very differently than us and we need to be sensitive to that.
