Students conduct research and question unfair practices.
They have the opportunity to challenge those injustices and ask companies and experts why the situation is such. They participate in social action, such as sending e-mail to strawberry growers and farms, writing letters, and talking to community activists. Through these experiences, students come to understand that they have the right to ask questions and ultimately that they have the power to change society. When their consciousness is raised as to the types of people that work in the fields and why they work there, they can question, gain a new respect for the workers or make a conscious choice to break the cycle of racism. The family is viewed as an encyclopedia, a well respected resource that is full of knowledge.
