After reading Freire's. I thought his issue(oppressing in education) have been close to Korean History in education. I talked with my mom. She was born in 1959, so she went through 박정희, 전두환's military regime, which is represented as dictatorship in Korea. At then, they justified dictatorship as "Korean democracy" , used people's fear of possibility of war between NK and SK, insist that SK have to be one, gathering together. So lots of critical thinking was ignored at that time. Also, my mom mentioned that when 5.18 Gwangju affair rose up, no news report, most of university closed for a while. (She was a university student then). Interesting thing is that when she was young, she thought that North Korean was evil . Now she became to think that we shouldn't oppose to North Korea. Anyway we are one country. But my father still thinks North Korea negatively. ( He said it is unconsious to think in that way, because of education)
Education remains 40 years to my father... Power of education ...
