The idea of having different objectives to answer the question “why am I learning this” or “why is this being taught” is awesome. I like that they separated macro from micro (macro being larger idea and connections, micro being the smaller details like names, dates, etc.). I think by doing this, it make it easier to write the objectives in the first place, but also gives an explanation to students as they why they are learning what they are learning, and why it is important. Have a reason is very important.
I think that macro and micro objectives are both equally important in their own ways. We have to know dates, names, events, etc to have a base to work from. If we don’t know where something happened or when it happened, we won’t be able to explain why it happened. On the other side, we also have to be able to think deeper and use our cognitive skills to come to conclusions as to why something happened, how it happened, what were the implications, etc. You cannot have macro without micro, and vise versa.
This is very true, and very sad at the same time. Anyone should be able to express their culture, regardless of how much power they have. We need not worry about who is ranked higher than who, but should allow all cultures to be recognized and celebrated. I don’t honestly think that will ever happen in my lifetime, but it is worth trying so that generations after me might be able to witness it. I think we are already making strides and leaps, but in the grand scheme of things, we have only started. We have so much more work to do.
"Hegemony refers to the moral and intellectual leadership of a dominant class..."
This may be true, but what about when the subordinate class wants more dominance? Is it not even a question? Does the dominant need not worry because they know that the subordinate cannot gain dominance because of what the hegemony has done already?
