Abstract

The significance of a culture change in the working class itself is one of the cornerstones of this article. It reviews the relations between stereotypes and norms of the dominant classes and describes to what extent they affect the perception of the poor’s it selves. Exposes how power has control of society. It also discusses the hypocrisy of the political, economic and social powers. Its shows the dual language against wars, crime and many other social injustices. But also makes visible the behaviour of neoliberal capitalism and economic structures that perpetuate massive gap. Recognizes the numbness of American society and its lack of response to injustice. Culture, Democracy and Education contribute to act against widespread repression and changing the politically naive citizens. In short, it encourages the working class to unite and rethink itself by changing the story short and long term.
