To the extent that teaching from a critical perspective does exactly that, it should have a forceful effect on students; it should generate debates, or perhaps anger or distress. At the very least, it 255 should create the desire to find out more about what one believes to be the case, in order to oppose the teacher’s analysis of issues and his or her critique of textbook and common sense theories about how things "really" are.}, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={Gimenez, Martha}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
