4C Reflection

1. Who is your classmate, what is the component category, what is the name of the choice?
EXAMPLE classmate Liz, component a World Cities, San Francisco...

Classmate Leilani K. Ako, Component C Inland cities, Fresno.

2. What is something similar this classmate said about the choice?
EXAMPLE Liz and I both focused on blank

Leilani and I both agree and commented on two aspects of the city of Fresno: It's incredibly high temperatures and that the city is stereotyped with having a high amount of violence.

3. What is something different this classmate said about the choice?
EXAMPLE Liz and I have differing opinions on blank

Leilani compared the amount of "white" or Caucasian residents of the city, while I compared the amount of "Hispanic" or Latin residents of the city.

4. How would you relate this to Freire's ideas regarding dialogue? For example, you went in thinking one idea, your classmate had a different idea. What new idea emerged from this process?

In my opinion when one takes a look at a city from an outsiders point of view, we think of a way in which we can relate to that city. I was actually born in Fresno and therefore I wanted to know more about Hispanic and agriculturally based information regarding the city. That is the only way I know how to relate to the city since I do not currently live in it. Leilani looked at the "white" population, but I chose to look at the "Hispanic" population. This just displays our difference in perception and the way in which we individually approach a subject. Connecting both of our data together is the only way to get a clear picture about an inland city like that of Fresno, because there are many ways in which we can approach a research project and many results in the end. Freire encouraged dialogue and learning from each other, I consider analyzing others work just that.
