“I think it is possible to empower learners (through service learning) and not promote the common good (by reinforcing a sense of inferiority among those “served” or a false sense of power among those who “serve”). I found this quote at almost the end of the Nadinne Cruz article. It is functioning as the sentence that sort of explains all of her feelings and concludes her final thoughts. I think that if you insert “process” into the quote you will find how the word “service” functions in this quote: “I think it is possible to empower learners (through service learning) and not promote the common good (by reinforcing a sense of inferiority among those “PROCESSED” or a false sense of power among those who “PROCESS”). I think when you use the definition of process instead of sevice, it shows one of Cruz’s arguements that participating in service learning is a sort of process and does not necessarily come from the heart and support the common good. It extends her arguement that those who “PROCESS” are looking for power and those who are “PROCESSED” are the wounded by-product a processor’s power trip.
