This film took a view on education in a whole other light that Americans aren’t used to in this kind of influence. The film shined on education’s faults and didn’t speak highly of its potentials for the people of India. The ladies in the film that were being interviewed brought up tradition, values, and emphasized education for being “material success”. The development of western education has taught, not only the people of India that education will make you tons of money to be able to afford all the material possessions we admire, but gives them false hope in living the “American dream”. The modern schooling has the ancient traditional ways of compassion, kindness and helping others
