    In his October 1963, A Talk to Teachers, James Baldwin said "...the whole process of education occurs within a social framework and is designed to perpetuate the aims of society." Yet, as he aptly notes, "the paradox of education is precisely this – that as one begins to become conscious, one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated." Baldwin suggests that the purpose of education is to teach us to think for ourselves, to question – and change – the "framework" that we have come to understand and accept. What norms of your home or community have you become conscious of during your time in high school, and how would you like to use that knowledge to make it a better place?
