Freire’s use of hyperbolic language is evident through the entire article. His puts great emphasis on the fact that the “banking” concept of education is not beneficial at all. For example, Freire states that in the “banking” concept of education, teachers fill their students with a narration with “contents which are detached from reality, disconnected from the totality that engendered them and could give them significance.

His task, therefore, is to identify the roots of the spirit of capitalism with respect to the Protestant Ethic. In this essay, I will attempt to divine the characteristics of this so-called ethic, which allow the spirit of capitalism to flourish. In order to accomplish this, I will divide this essay into two sections. In the first section, I will define and explain certain concepts and terms used by Weber that are critical to his arguments.
