![Page 17: Blocked discourse](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681665a550346895dd9db2c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Naturalization
• Keeping important conversations from happening by claiming that the current conditions are “Natural” or “just the way it is” or “the way we do things around here.”
![Page 18: Blocked discourse](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681665a550346895dd9db2c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Neutralization
• Keeping conversations from happening by claiming that the current condition is “objective” or “value-free” and that only the alternatives are “political” and “biased”
![Page 20: Blocked discourse](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681665a550346895dd9db2c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Neutralization
• Keeping conversations from happening by claiming that the current condition is “objective” or “value-free” and that only the alternatives are “political” and “biased”
• This hides the fact that every system is “political” and “biased”—and it protects the dominant values from scrutiny.

Subjectification of Experience
• Keeping conversations from advancing by claiming that some position is “just my opinion” (or “just your opinion”)… and therefore not open to discussion
![Page 25: Blocked discourse](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681665a550346895dd9db2c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Subjectification of Experience
• Keeping conversations from advancing by claiming that some position is “just my opinion” (or “just your opinion”)… and therefore not open to discussion
• Free and open Communication would require that claims about our feelings and opinions should be the start not the end of the discussion
