Paulo Freire: a popular education.

Paulo Freire is an educator and expert in education, born in Brazil in the year 1921. He entered at the University of "Recife" in the year 1943, where he studied law, philosophy and psychology of language. The most impressive, he did it all at the same time! But, he never practiced as a lawyer. Paulo Freire work as an educator and as a theorist of education all his life, holding important position in the public politics on education in Brazil.
One of the most important things he has done is develop the critical pedagogy in the theory and practice. This is aimed to allow to the people obtain a critical capacity for that they are capable of to question the world in which they live. But this is not all! The critical pedagogy holds that the knowledge is not transmitted, is constructed in a dialogic process between the educator and the students.

I really love the Paulo Freire’s idea about how education should be. And, I admire his job for to educate to the poor and illiterate Brazilian. I take Paulo Freire as a reference for the topic of sociology in which I should like to develop: the sociology of education.

My favorite piece of technology.

With regard to technology, my favorite piece of technology is my notebook.  When I was a child, I had access to a computer that belonged to my family, as there was only one, so I had to take turns to used it. I got my first notebook when I was 11 years old. I bought it one time I had a lot money. But, the notebooks that actually have I got it the beginning of 2016. My father gave it to me because I was going to enter to the university. I usually use my notebook for the different things. I carry it to the university every day for writing in class, so I use it to study every day. Additionally, I constantly use for contacting with my friends, for watching series in internet and for listening music in YouTube. I like it my notebook because being a really good tool to learn and fun, that can use every day if I need it. For all the things I’ve mentioned, I guess my life without my computer would be more complicated and be in contact with my friends are very slowly. Bye friends!...

Years later, when I was in the last year of the high school, I had different career options in mind.
