Knowledge, who owns knowledge? 

Is It the rich, the poor, the mailman waiting for you at the door or the crackhead at 7 eleven staring at you so dull 

The truth is that nowadays anyone and everyone can own Knowledge. 

Todos somos dueños del conocimiento 

nous possédons tous des connaissances

Notice how all of a sudden, you began questioning your hearing… Don’t worry, if you pay close attention to what im saying I’m basically just restating what this whole presentation is all about knowledge, el conocimiento, connaissance

“La llorona” also known as the cryer is a very well known urban legend known in the Mexican culture & History. 
 
That originally dates back to the year 1521  
You can find many versions of this legend because it has been told from person to person and details and exaggerations have been added on too as time went on. But the version I’m going to be talking to you about today is the one about the Aztecs, being warned by this female figure. 

According to an article written by Juliana Fregoso she stated in her article that, “La llorona, uno de los personajes más característicos de las historias de terror en México” meaning that the crier is a very well known horrific character in mexican history. Listen to how she stated a horrific historic character. The reason she stated that was because throughout history many people told this legend from prior knowledge that their ancestors told them. This plays a huge part because now we see that knowledge not only is owned by anyone but it can also be manipulated and controlled on what you choose to do with that knowledge.

The story goes on and says that one very cold night, the children of the land (meaning the aztecs) had a very vivid experience that day when they slept.The emperor Moctezuma the second heard a women in his dream, crying out the words, “Ayy mis hijos, a donde os llevare” repeatedly The emperor began to ask the women the cause of her longing and sadness and later the night he was able to think deeply and come to the conclusion that she was warning them!! To leave their native land because the spanish conquistadors were coming to take control of them and kill them. Many of us have experienced something like that in our life times. Maybe not as intense as that but relatively similar in the sense of an awakening through a dream . 

Yes, your AP and Ib teachers own knowledge, Your abuelita owns knowledge, and yes even that boy or girl you were deeply in love with own knowledge too 

I'm gonna leave you guys with this, we all have the power to own knowledge but it’s up to US to choose what to do with that knowledge-whether it’s for the good or bad of humanity. You own knowledge, I’m Bryan Alonso and that concludes my Fresno high ted Talk
