Connection between Neoliberalism and Literacy
When discussing our journal entries in our journal groups, my peers and I made an interesting connection between neoliberalism and literacy. Neoliberalism promotes the idea of becoming independent and individual achievement where you just worry about yourself and those who stay behind just don't make it. When we were discussing we noticed that from our own personal experience, when it came to learning how to read, we just worried about ourselves and let the rest of our peers figure it out on their own, which is similar to the ideas behind neoliberalism. I thought this was interesting because it made me think just how effective is neoliberalism then? Because there are people across the nation who are struggling on how to read and its not even children but adults too. If we are so used to thinking about ourselves and our own gain then how are we going to help others and what's best for the country as a whole?
