Teaching the Luanguage of Power vs. Acceptance

In a very practical sense, it would make sense to teach the language of power over acceptance because it would be much easier to teach. In teaching the language of power, it can be taught at a very young age in the school system. In teaching acceptance to those in the culture of power, a number of problems would arise. One problem I see is that the culture of power consists of many people that are so ingraned in their way of life, that it would be very difficult to help them understand and appreciate a different culture. On the other hand, it would be much easier to teach something like the language of power to younger people; they are in school, and have much more ability to adapt to life and culture changes. In addition to this, so much of the culture in the United States runs off of the language of power, that not teaching it would leave many at a disadvantage.
