Abstract
This paper is concerned with the education processes within a global property market and how a 'global surveyor' will be educated. It commences by assuming a multi-cultural world, and critically assesses the true meaning of such a posit. Multi-culturalism is seen to be a fallacy, as one culture (western/postmodern) dominates all others through mechanisms which are explained. Both universities and the professional institutions are involved in this cultural domination by the ways in which courses are designed and taught. From this line of argument, it is concluded that the process of educating the premier management tool is purely a continuation of this system of universal cultural tyranny.
