[NLA] No need for evidence, just get personal

[AWilder106@aol.com]

As I said, I asked for critique if I haven't gotten it right.

The false consciousness thesis posits that a person's mind can by "colonized" 
under conditions of control by someone else, a group, authoritarian rule, 
slavery and so on.  A person may feel they are acting with free will but 
actually aren't, they are acting through the will of someone, something, else.

The blame the victim syndrome comes in here--it must be my fault that I have 
been attacked, those others must have had a good reason.

This kind of thinking denies reality--why am I being blamed for this attack?  
In whose interest am I acting if I say the attack must have been my fault?

Gilligan talks about healthy resistance.

Friere taught people to question the version of reality they had been given.

Dewey has a mixed record on this, but in general he taught about group work, 
formulating questions, finding answers, coming up with the next set of 
questions. 

Here's a conundrum:  Why are women paid less for comparable jobs, comparable 
work?
