Title and Authors Name
"What Can We Do? Becoming Part of the Solution" By Allan Johnson
Authors Argument
Johnson argues that we have to face the issues that come our way. We cant just put back issues we need to do it ourselves.
Quotes
1)"We can't just stop using words like racism, sexism, and privilege, however, because these are tools that focus our awareness on the problem and all the forms it takes. Once we can see and talk about what's going on, we can analyze how it works as a system. We can identify points of leverage where change can begin."
When I read this quote i thought of the other pieces that we read in our class. If you need to say something you have to just say it. we cant be scared of using certain words. Like dr. bogad said before in class, isn’t it funny that the only words we whisper are sex, black, gay.
2) "It's easy to have opinions, it takes work to know what you are talking about."
This quote is so true. every makes opinions on everything before they really know what they are talking about. Its just like the saying, you judge a book by its cover. We tend to do that with everything in our lives
Comments
I really like this article, even though it as extremely long! I also felt that it was very repetitive. but overall Johnson probably was my favorite out of all the readings that we read.
