Opis

The Americanization Syndrome (1987) examines the historical role of education in the process of ‘Americanization’. It argues that the pattern has been not the promotion of a blend of different cultures but the indoctrination of norms of belief of religion, politics and economics and an explicit discouragement of cultural variety.
