Identity

After reading all of the articles, I was reminded again that although I know that power and privilege exists in institutions, as someone who will be working in it, it is my duty/job/responsibility to work to educate the students about it. This is often times easier said and done since students tend to view individual acts of injustices as having more impact on them than institutional acts of injustices---that is not to say that these individual acts of injustices are not important but it is also equally important to illustrate that when this happens from institutions they may not even be aware that it is occurring. As it relates to identity and adolescence, I believe that know that we as educators are either reminded or educated about this it is our opportunity to work against these forces and say how do we as individuals and communities work to stop or questions these injustices. Because it is having an impact socially and individually to the creation of our youths identities.
