What Hard Work Will Get You

As you toil away, crafting Extended Essays, holding down jobs, completing chores, caring for siblings, helping at home, and generally being responsible folks, take a few minutes to consider this article.  Read and write through the lens of what you know of colonialisms past and their accompanying oppressions.  Think, too, about the natures of education and culture and what moral compromises accompany them--are those concessions ever justified?  How does moral relativism play into this discussion?  Post a thoughtful response to the article, considering more than one perspective and including at least one knowledge question.  Your post is due, please, by your local noon on Wednesday 13 August.  This is your last post of the summer.  Thank you all for all of your hard work.
