Freire knew: The capability of banking education to minimize or annul the students' creative power and to stimulate their credulity serves the interests of the oppressors, who care neither to have the world revealed nor to see it transformed. The oppressors use their "humanitarianism" to preserve a profit-able situation. Thus they react almost instinctively against any experiment in education which stim-ulates the critical faculties and is not content with a partial view of reality but always seeks out the ties which link one point to another and one problem to another.
