Cultural domination as a hindrance to nation building in Cameroon

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Ethics, University of Geneva (Ecumenical Institute Bossey), course: Ecumenism, language: English, abstract: The problem that concerns this research is the issue of assimilation of the Anglophone inherited colonial culture by the established Francophone leading government of the country of Cameroon. The insistent abuse and brutality of citizens of the English speaking part of Cameroon who cannot express themselves in French. The careful plan to subside the English system of education and judiciary to replace it with the French system. The deliberate desire to reduce the dual cultural heritage of the colonial masters to a new supremacy of a culture.

Within this problem, many questions raised are such as; does the English system pose a threat to the French in Cameroon? Is the battle between the two operating systems as a result of neo-colonial influence or it is as a result of the feeling of cultural superiority by the French speaking Cameroon? If the Anglophone Cameroonian feels dominated, then in what aspects of daily life are these aspects of dominance seen within the context of Cameroon.
