INTRO: In popular American society, education is often considered universally good for you. It is almost never considered bad. Everyone from your parents to important leaders say “Get your education, and you will do well.” However, bell hooks seems to argue for a more political view of education. They view it as a tool that can be used for enslavement or empowerment, a social system that helps builds conformity for the status quo or decolonization and liberation for a new consciousness and a new society. For them, it all comes down to whether educators are teaching critical thinking or not.

Is relatively free from distracting grammatical and mechanical errors (Links to an external site.). Many students use Grammarly (Links to an external site.) to help them.
Use MLA document design and citation.
