Other people on the other hand, may say that academic culture does not affect how people view people and the world. In the essay, “An Indian Father’s Plea”, an Indian student's father is writing a letter to his son’s teacher about the extent of his son’s education. Among many other points, his father shows the teacher how much his son has learned over the years despite his lack of a “traditional education”. His Father goes on the state that, “He is a full basket coming into a different environment and society with something special to share”(Lake 79). This shows how not everyone has the same type of education, and that not all people learn the same way, but everyone can learn from others with what differences they have to bring to the table.
