Paul Orlowski has taught in diverse schools in Vancouver and focuses on advocating for marginalized groups. Throughout his career, he has witnessed racism and seen how economic inequality and media discourse can reinforce social hierarchies. As an educator, he emphasizes issues of representation, power structures, and how the idea of "whiteness" operates in society. He argues that teachers should help students examine these complex intersections of race, class and gender to work towards a more just and inclusive education system.

2. YouTube - Little Big Man Chief Dan George Goes up to the mountain to# Paul Orlowski has taught in B.C. high schools, primarily in polyethnic working-class neighbourhoods and has focused on advocacy for marginalized groups, especially those living in poverty. He also teaches pre-service teachers of social studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, where he emphasizes issues or representation, hegemony, and corporate media control of discourse. His doctoral research examines how whiteness has been constructed and operates in the British Columbia context. Steps that Paul witness in different phases of his life In his youth he witnesses discrimination and marginalization but racism in his day “was seen as a thing of the past. Fine example of January 20, 2010 classroom lecture by Prof. W. Chahal “hegemonic discourses tend to reinforce the status quo.” the consensus by the media on the major issues of the day become mirrored by dominant discourses (Karim 2000, p. 5)à Paul Orlowski talks about these similarities also as it was discussed in January 20, 2010 class, which basically where a question or two will be based on at that end of this presentation. So with that said, we move right into our presentation in the second step of Paul Orlowski life story. As a teacher and working class civil servant, he witnesses the same racism, finds that people of the same color and nationality stick to their own, and he finds that Aboriginal students, do the same thing to him even though he is now a teacher. Remarks “CLASS WAR! NOT A RACE WAR! He also notes, examines youth from 5 different ethnic, racial background and perceived racism and economic inequality, whereas, his analysis or his ethnography, he says should make a person a better human-being. As an advocate As an educator and author Paul Orlowski Streamlining Paul Orlowski, Since there is too much of political correctness today In argument he says that in terms of social theory in reference to race/class /gender intersection His ending quotes re: NAFTA/WTO and how to educate others
3. As an advocate, he in turn offers pre-service to teachers going into the teaching field so they can cope and certain issues need recognizing in order for other to functions throughout all the hegemonic discourses of the constructed “whiteness” and the operations of it in British Columbia.*Many similarities at this level*On the 22nd of December 1980, Israel issued the legislation called "Jerusalem law" according to which Jerusalem will be designated by the occupying zionists as the ever existing Capital of the usurper country that is Israel . Almighty God forbids , Jerusalem will be free and back to the people who love It and respect It, to those who have faith and are Almighty God fearing , to those who deserve to live in the Holy City. Almighty God is merely testing our patience and the intensity of our love and sacrifice , Almighty God never forsakes those who have faith in Him.
4. As an educator and author Paul Orlowskiand the classroom lectures have been great and it spoke volumes, and funny thing about that is, they are interconnected. He also brings to mind that, in today's world, social class interests or global hidden interests influence both an future economic structures, fuel separatist spirit or partisanship agenda, in which sociology calls “whiteness defensiveness attitude” where they present and exhibit a view, where we have to do it, if we want to survive scheme , like for example he makes about free-trade deals with other countries, and that in itself becomes problematic for everyone involved. And Paul indicates as a hidden norm at work in our society today. Where both intentionally or un-intentally overlook the interests or the privileges of the “otherness “in place of the hegemonic order.
5. Since there is too much of political correctness today, The Fathers of Confederation leads Paul to believe that educator need to observe this so curriculum specialists take a noteworthy stance on future learns in order to make a difference in their life's tasks. In argument he says that in terms of social theory in reference to race/class /gender intersection, he feels that teachers should help students deconstruct, and ends by saying , that it is situation that demonstrates the complexities when dealing with the ideology of racism. At the end of the day, behind insensitivity he implies that ethnocentrism was behind strong racist attitudes, where he recognized came from hidden norms of the white privileged in Canadian society, and still embedded in much of its secular curricula .
6. His ending quotes re: NAFTA/WTO and how to educate others He also notes a anti-racist pedagogical approach, where poison to lessening white hegemonic power is have a collective minority effort end this so called legitimacy, but in closing say that he is in not more naive as saying, that he feels that racism would entirely disappear if Canada had a fair and just economy, and against confirms that that racist attitudes would in fact decrease if it were so . That technically means collectively up rooting legitimacy, after all, legitimacy is not a law, it is an idea. Chinese proverb : “If we don’t change direction we will eventually get to where we are heading.”
7. Paul Orlowski grow up in Toronto but later moved to East Vancouver where he taught in a classroom Paul grow up with students with similar backgrounds in Toronto, Scar-borough. it was simple there, whereas in Vancouver he began to witness a different kind of world altogether. A world where the colors of skin was the in thing of that day. But in its entirety as a youth he began in a world of where Chief Dan George, quotes as in reference to a young child; a child loves everyone at first. That is the same attitude that society first and generations intend to outgrow generally speaking! As he speaks of background; in contrast he notes, as many of them are 1st generation Canadians, race he illustrates wasn’t as interest in a homogeneity society, whereas he says; its a big deal, now in our day. More or less it is on the forefront even in our culture. “As a kid growing up, racism in the 1960’s I lived under the delusion that racism was a thing of the past.”- Paul Orlowski At times he and some friends close to him were recipients of a Anglo-Saxon derogatory target, “You Pollack.” From the hallways of youth a youth in school, to teacher and author to educator he seen it all. Curriculum slanted in an angle, but not for the betterment of invisible minority, instead towards global economic endeavours. Even in media (WOULD PUBLISH LIES OF CERTAIN RACE GROUPS, HAVING PROBLEMS) he mentions the bigots (who say they care) that form political regimes but on the next turn and stab people in the back to oppress and suppress the British Columbia Nisga’s Treaties over 2,000 square kilometres of land. All Fine examples of what makes us all blind. While in Vancouver he is taken by different solicited interests of the people and media, like for example negative impact of the arrival of the Chinese immigrants 1999, and where it all leads to, such as in classrooms etc. Paul Orlowski says; we already live in an intolerant and xenophobic society, the one we have is an extremely frightening image indeed, and I think it’s time to attempt to create a responsible citizenship to fit the common man/woman. If you were proactive and less reactionary, what would you do to that last part in regards to invisible racism or visible racism in our day? (1.) would you change it to your liking or would you do something else, here in Thunder Bay or anywhere else for that matter? (2.) and if so give us a example of where and what you would do there, to what extent? (3.) And do you agree with Paul, that we are in that era, if so give us an example of one or more that you may be familiar with, in or around Thunder Bay?
