conscientization.
 


Content: other
 
people
 
involuntarily
 
unemployed; many
 
mentally
 
and
 
physically
 
disabled
 
people; and
 
American
 
Native
 
Indians,
 
especially
 
those
 
on
 
reservations. Marginalization
 
expels
 
a
 
whole
 
category
 
of
 
people
 
from
 
useful
 
participation
 
in
 
social
 
life. As
 
a
 
result,
 
these
 
groups
 
are
 
subjected
 
to
 
severe
 
material
 
deprivation
 
(they
 
don’t
 
have
 
access
 
to
 
basic
 
resources)
 
and
 
even
 
extermination
 
(such
 
as
 
genocide). The
 
idea
 
of
 
powerlessness
 
links
 
to
 
Marx’s
 
theory
 
of
 
socialism: some
 
people
 
“have”
 
power
 
while
 
others
 
“have-not”. The
 
powerless
 
are
 
dominated
 
by
 
the
 
ruling
 
class
 
and
 
are
 
situated
 
to
 
take
 
orders
 
and
 
rarely
 
have
 
the
 
right
 
to
 
give
 
them. Some
 
of
 
the
 
fundamental
 
injustices
 
associated
 
with
 
powerlessness
 
are
 
inhibition
 
to
 
develop
 
one’s
 
capacities,
 
lack
 
of
 
decision
 
making
 
power,
 
and
 
exposure
 
to
 
disrespectful
 
treatment
 
because
 
of
 
the
 
lowered
 
status. In
 
the
 
U.S.,
 
the
 
powerless
 
do
 
not
 
participate
 
in
 
basic
 
democratic
 
processes
 
because
 
they
 
feel
 
that
 
they
 
can’t
 
or
 
that
 
their
 
participation
 
won’t
 
mean
 
anything.
