What is Friere trying to say in these paragraphs? The truth is, however, that the opressed are not "marginals" are not people living "outside" society. They have always been "inside" inside the structure which made them "beings for others". The solution is not to "integrate" them into the structure of opression, but to transform that structure so that they can become "beings for themselves". Such as transformation of the banking concept of education to avoid the threat of student conscientizao. The banking approach to adult education, for example, will never propose to students that they critically consider reality. it will deal instead with such vital questions as whether Roger gave green grass to the goat, and insist upon the importance of learning that, on contrary. Roger gave green gass to the rabbit. The "humanism" of the banking approachmaks the effort to turn women and men into automatons-they very negatio of ther ontological vocation to be more fully human.
