Liberation Theology

Theological Reflection There are many steps in the liberation process, but before action can be taken to enact change one has to have a consciousness-raising experience. Other ways to say consciousness-raising experience are having a personal awakening or becoming aware of the ways one is oppressed or oppresses others. Having a realization is essential to the liberation process because it is this initial awareness of injustice that drive people to commit their lives to exposing and correcting societal wrongs. If a person is not oppressed by injustice there is a slim chance of them speaking out against it, and no chance of them acting to correct it. For example, if I would have never attended Notre Dame College, I would not know how beneficial to women a single sex environment could be. I grew up in co-educational public school and was never a person who had a hard time talking in class. It seemed simple enough to speak out when I had something to contribute to the class, and it never occurred to me that girls would not want to talk in class because there were boys or because they felt the teacher did not value their opinion as much as a male student.
