Post 3


In chapter 7, the beginnings dealt with raising objections. Raising objections is so important to how and why we learn what we do. By raising objections to statements of opinion, people begin to question the status quo. Someone may make a claim that sounds good at the time, such as women should not be able to vote because they are not as smart as men. Can you imagine if no person would have raised an objection to this common belief or opinion?  Raising objections is how we learned what we learned in school. People in high places argued over the curriculum of the school, but through time, objections have been raised over the content of the education. People raised objections to the portrayal of blacks in history or popular beliefs in science.  What is also so great about raising objections is an action usually is done for the progress of society.  Raising objections to homelessness and poverty is why charity is helping homeless people.
