A Discourse of Power

Accountability
Week 1

“I know that’s what it looks like, but it’s not.  I can’t explain to you why it’s not.  Morpheus believed something and he was ready to give his life for what he believed.  I understand that now.  But that’s why I have to go” (The Matrix).
                     -Neo

“I will not stand here and do nothing.  I will not wait here to watch them die’ (The Matrix Reloaded)
                   
 -Trinity

“… Kanohi kitea or the ‘seen face,’ which conveys the sense that being seen by the people- showing your face, turning up at important cultural events – cements your membership within a community in an ongoing way and is part of how one’s credibility is continually developed and maintained” (15).
                     -Linda Tuhiwai Smith 

“1.    Aroha kit e tangata (a respect for people).

2.     Kanohi kitea (the seen face, that is present yourself to people face to face).

3.     Titiro, whakarongo . . . korero (look, listen . . .  speak).

4.     Manaaki kit e tangata (share and host people, be generous).

5.     Kia tupato (be cautious).

6.     Kaua e takahia te mana o te tangata (do not trample over the mana of people).

7.     kaua e mahaki (don’t flaunt your knowledge)" (DM120)
                           
-Linda Tuhiwai Smith
