It is said that the American curriculum is Eurocentric. There are a lot of examples that are given in the text as Cocacolzization or Macdonaldization. This means that the European culture has vast deep-rooted implications even in the outer world as well. The spread of colonization in these countries is not only the reason for fast-paced trade but also there is a greater chance of decentralization of this culture as well (Anderson, 1990).The students face a lot of uncomfortable situations based on racial discrimination. Racial discrimination on the campuses is more common in the areas where the students face a lot of racial discrimination.
