JoAnn Campbell, an assistant professor of English at Indiana University, discusses the role intimacy plays in the classroom setting. Her focus on English A as an introductory writing course displays the extremely combative relationship between recently admitted students and dictatorial professors.

While the European continent’s geographical borders have receded over the last century, its greatest territorial acquisition has come in the expanse of Western cultural and ideological values. The globalization of culture has become an existential issue; furthermore, Western values extol specific ideologies that establish social (individualism vs collectivism), civil (democracy vs. communism)

However, recent studies suggest that the level of policy coordination required to positive results is rarely achieved by any government.
