is "spreading democracy" the new colonisation?
i think so.
1) "democracy ideals is the best" vs the "colonise to civilise" mindsets
2) "help them get what they want" vs the "help them develop"
after so many years, such socio-centric thinking still exist. sigh.
one thing i must thank the current syllabus (finally, something to thank): they've removed the rostow 5 stage development model. i don't think we should educate our kids such eurocentric model either.
