For this weeks reading I am reflecting on Marie Battiste “Decolonizing the University Indigenizing ¨. We face many challenges everyday which include social, economical and technological issues. This article highlights many interesting points about how “Eurocentric thinking” is viewed. I am an education major and it made me think about how students from foreign countries feel when they come to America and must adapt to the language and the American culture. I have seen foreign students who are very bright academically especially in Math but fail in other subjects because they cannot read or write the language. It is unfortunate how society has taught us to be afraid of knowing more then one language. English is not the only main language in the world. We have students from different backgrounds and cultures and we must learn to accept them. We can’t view things from only one perspective. We must be open minded. Imagine how frustrated people and students feel when they don’t know the language they want to get it but they cant.
