Question 1
“It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.” (Mark
Fisher) My personal opinion on this statement, is most closely described by:
a. Who cares?
b. This is what comes from a world population that believes that the path
to enlightenment is Twitter.
c. Capitalism is absolutely the only viable economic system, so yes, this is
true and right.
d. I had never thought of this, but as unreasonable as this might sound, 9
it is actually so true.
e. I think that we need to work on our im agination then because this is
clearly absurd.

, Question 2
“Black lives matter.” My personal opinion on this statem ent is most closely
described by:
a. So do white lives matter.
b. “All lives matter.” 9
c. This is just not supported by evidence.
d. Finally we are starting to recognise this!
e. Slogans are pointless. We need to enforce radical social changes aimed
at actively destroying structural racism.
Your answer is correct.
The correct answers are:
So do white lives matter.,
“All lives matter.”, This is just not supported by evidence.,
Finally we are starting to recognise this!,
Slogans are pointless. We need to enforce radical social changes aimed at
actively destroying structural racism.
Question 3
“In order to have the continued opportunity to express their ‘generosity,’ the
oppressors must perpetuate injustice as well.” (Paulo Freire) My personal opinion
on this statement is most closely described by:
a. This is crazy ‘commie’ nonsense from Freire – it’s a disgrace that Unisa
allows this rubbish to appear in its official study m aterial.
b. This is rubbish - if it were not for the essential goodness of the wealthy,
the lives of the poor would be so much worse than they already are.
c. So let m e get this straight – Freire is saying that in order for som e 9
(like Bill Gates for instance) to continue being generous, wealth AND
poverty need to be sustained? I’m going to have to think about this.
d. Freire is absolutely right - all this ‘generosity’ just makes rich people look
like the heroes when actually they are the villains.
e. How can you possibly say som ething as ungrateful as option d?

rich people look like the heroes when actually they are the villains., How can you
