'Our ignorance makes for the happiness of landowners, the same way that our learning, our reading, the improvement to our memory, and the advances we have accomplished culturally make those same landowners tremble in fear.' - by not developing as humans we are essentially helping the oppressor's?

'So long as people attribute the hunger and poverty that destroys them to destiny, to fatality, or to God, there will be little chance to promote collective action.' - this was interesting as we were talking about self-fulfilling prophecy. A lot of the times people just see their circumstances as static and don't try to change them and this can negatively affect their circumstances.

'In my view. 'being' in the world means to transform and re-transform the world, not to adapt to it.' - this is interesting because it makes you think, what is our role within society? What kind of change is possible if we put our minds to it?

in a society where we are so interconnected I think its important to understand that there will be cultural differences but we need to use this to our benefit rather than detriment

I like this - I think its easy to listen to some but its harder to comprehend what they're saying and actively think about what it means and its consequences.

I feel like when you hear the work 'virtue' you honestly just think this is being perfect and someone that does nothing wrong. However, in reality it's more about try to incorporate values in you're like that help you live a happy life rather than certainties. Everyone lives by different values and that's not a bad thing.
