Notre Dame (All Teams) – Affirmative – Africa Bridge

Africa Bridge 1AC Our debate activity currently functions and produces a teacher-student dichotomy in which education is sought solely for the purposes of imagining political action devoid of strategies FROM the oppressed. This form of narration strips individuals from any transformation power within their social location. FREIRE ’70 (Paulo, Brazilian Revolutionary, Chapter 2, Pedagogy of the Oppressed) A careful analysis of …they are.

These resolutional forms of education justify stripping the oppressed from ontological action. This year’s resolution creates an alienated education that increasingly protects the form of education that deposits information on the African nations that are depicted as ‘welfare recipients.’ Such a framework masks the worst forms of structural violence. FREIRE ’70 (Paulo, Brazilian Revolutionary, Chapter 2, Pedagogy of the Oppressed) The capability of banking … be more fully human.

The condition of oppression that is perpetuated via current educational practices dooms us to a world where violence is a constant reality, constitutes the foundation for subjugation and perpetual negation of life. FREIRE ’70 (Paulo, Brazilian Revolutionary, “Chapter 1,” Pedagogy of the Oppressed.) The pedagogy of the first stage … the preponderance of the strong, but by the strong who have emasculated them. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a framework of “problem-posing” education that poses the resolution as a question to the oppressed where THEY create their own strategies for empowerment and liberation. Only a problem-posing education can establish a consciousness of emancipation from the worst structural conditions. FREIRE ’70 (Paulo, Brazilian Revolutionary, Chapter 2, Pedagogy of the Oppressed) Those truly committed … education are “owned” by the teacher. AFRICA BRIDGE 1AC The failure to establish a problem-posing education framework accentuates current AIDS assistance failures. AIDS awareness, treatment, and prevention campaigns lack cultural sensitive modes of transmission. KWESI 2K4 (Yankah, Ph.D. in folklore from Indiana University and is currently Professor of Linguistics at the University of Ghana, “Narrative in Times of Crisis: AIDS Stories in Ghana,”Journal of Folklore Research, 41.2, May-August, pg. 181-198) Folk constructions of … of AIDS in their social locations.

And, the dialogical methodology of Africa Bridge is the best possible strategy. Tanzania’s entire health care system is at stake. Global Vision 2003 (Date Posted on Global Envision: July 14, 2003, On the Other Side of Despair…Hope www.globalenvision.org/library/3/509, “When millions of people are dying and suffering from the consequences of AIDS, is there any reason to have hope?”) When I look at the … doing work in Africa.

We will defend that the National Institute of Health will approve the grant request of Africa Bridge for the building of an AIDS prevention and treatment infrastructure to Tanzania. Our plan text is a direct affirmation of the existential reality of the oppressed that we highlight in direct response to the AIDS pandemic and the resolution as a productive educational possibility. All counterplans and arguments that do not place such the agency of the oppressed at the forefront are doomed to oppressive paternalism. FREIRE ’70 (Paulo, Brazilian Revolutionary, “Chapter 1,” Pedagogy of the Oppressed.) The same is true with respect to the …oppression must be transformed.

And, our methodology establishes the groundwork for an epistemological approach that precedes politics proper.
