In this module, you read about Indian and Anglo-American cultures, and how vastly different they are. These differences have have hampered communication and understanding with one another for years.
One of the many issues that these groups commonly face is the concept of deculturalization based on western views that are formed and structured in the education system. These superior norms also have the power to influence change or elimination of linguistic and cultural traditions. During the Civil Rights Movement, school segregation and American Indian cultural and linguistic suppression became a focal point of change for all.
