If the definition of social justice in the East and Global South is “the expansion of access to universal Western knowledge. The result would be to repeat the very Euro-centrism that many globalizing efforts purportedly seek to disrupt” (Stein and Andreotti) This type of teaching the other does not take into account the complexity of the pedagogical reform that would have to happen within the system of content, to have a meaningful education for each indigenous person. Teaching from a Western framework would disinclude the traditions and life experiences of a certain audience. Appreciating one’s tradition but going further into the definitive result of indigenous education leads us to complex integration of thought worlds
