Western Culture And Modernization Interchangeably

Western culture has been a source of constant inspiration for aspiration, and people around the world have used the terms western culture and modernization interchangeably. Cultures have been generally labeled as eastern or western depending on which part of the globe that particular culture is, if it is in the east it came to be known as eastern culture, and similarly for western culture. But there is a lot of difference between various cultures as a particular culture consists of customs, ideas, values and many other traits, which are different for different cultures. The history of western culture is replete with many events that have influenced it and shaped its present form and structure. Important among them (and responsible for the present European version of western culture) is it's development at the hands of the Greeks, its expansion by the Romans, and then further enrichment by the Europeans.

The kings of different regions in Europe waged a war among themselves and there was political instability all over. The advent of Roman Catholicism helped to stabilize the tensions and preserved art, literature, and science through the many Churches, seminaries, and cathedrals at a time when it was hard to preserve them. They kept the Great in their name but the United States clearly carried the choice after that. Next it appears due to our own follies and lake of forward progression we will be passing the torch again and in doing so taking our place as a footnote on the page in the annals of mankind's history. As we pass are on the apex of the hand off, which is clearly a choice having drown our nation in bureaucracy, over regulation and disdain for change, innovation or progress, we see a difference in cultures which is vast indeed. It is obvious that Western Culture has its advantages, whether we take advantage of them or not.

It depended more on science and reasoning to answer the questions of the people. It advocated questioning of conventional wisdom, beliefs and traditions which were not based on some strong foundations of rationality and scientific intellectual. The Enlightenment was a source of inspiration for many revolutions in the West, it resulted in the success of the American Revolution, and the Atlantic Revolution. How many times have you heard that Bill Gates is the Anti-Christ ? That is ridiculous and he and Melinda have given more to the World than anyone else in the history of humankind and what do we do as a society ? Call him the anti-Christ and tell the government to attack his company, which is providing the communication to the world and opening up the world for cross-culture knowledge and commerce? But we should understand that as we live in hypocrisy in our civilization often those running other civilizations do the same. History shows many different styles of societies, but in critic of Western Civilization for Eastern Culture, we might wish to define which one.
