democracy for granted; we have
thought and acted as if our forefathers
had founded it once and for all. We
have forgotten that it has to be
enacted anew in every generation.

Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where it's flat and immense
And the heat is intense
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home
{ Original first verse (1992-93):
Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where they cut off your ear
If they don't like your face It's barbaric, but hey, it's home }

A democratic civilization will save
itself only if it makes the language
of the image into a stimulus for
critical reflection, not an invitation
to hypnosis.
Umberto Eco (l979)

Teacher’s Role
Education must begin with the
solution of the teacher-student
contradiction, by reconciling the poles
of the contradiction so that both are
simultaneously teachers and students.
Paulo Freire

It is no longer enough to simply read and write. Students
must also become literate in the understanding of
visual images. Our children must learn how to spot a
stereotype, isolate a social cliché and distinguish facts
from propaganda, analysis from banter, important
news from coverage.

Ernest Boyer


Media Education is both essential to the
exercising of our democratic rights
and a necessary safeguard against the
worst excesses of media manipulation
for political purposes.

The V Sign


V for Victory

Winston Churchill
gives the victory sign
at a political rally,
Liverpool, 1951


The "V" for victory that Winston Churchill used (with
the palm facing outward, same as the American sign
for "peace"), when the palm is reversed, it means
something else...
If a person used two fingers to order two beers in a
British pub.. it has insulting connotations…


#2
the two fingers in a 1st grade math class may
refer to the number "two"


OK (okay) vs. 0K (zero
kilobyte)


This sign might mean
 "OK" in the United States

 "money" in Japan

 "sex" in Mexico

 "homosexual" in Ethiopia

 an obscenity in Brazil

 “Zero” in Southern France
