Is Western Culture Superior?

What is western culture? OP mentions Canada and the US, countries that have imported their populations and therefore their cultures from every other country on earth... including non western ones. The OP also mentions Europe. Yeah Europe has many different cultures, but they are not a unified western culture. I'm not sure such a thing exists. So for the people arguing in favor of western superiority, what is the unifying western culture?

 

Yes....a lot of non-western cultures are pretty effed up, even if you only look at their attitude towards gays and women etc.

 

The culture coming from west Europe and has dominated in both that region and colonised lands like Australia, US and Canada for the longest time

 

What is that culture?

 

western culture is not superior ,the west are the pioneers of industrialisation ,the industrial enviroments which we live ,and the capitalist world they created ,that most of us live in ,because of this ,the health of the human being and the planet is allways at risk

 

Predominantly rooted in western protestantism gone secular, and partly multiculti.

 

Yes but what defines it? Give me 3 or 4 examples of cultural hallmarks that exist in the west whether Denmark or Denver that dont also exist in other cultures. Not trying to be difficult but I dont understand how we're defining western culture... other than what you said, its birthplace in western Europe. If its root location is all we can use to define it it becomes impossible to say its inferior or superior

 

It's not that the identifying aspects must be absent in other cultures

No, its good to try to define it, I acknowledge the purpose of your question, I will make a real attempt later!

 

We're hippies. We don't see anyones culture as superior. That's not our trip man.

 

The Age of Enlightenment began in the West. It might be possible to define Western Culture on the principles leading to that. It's still just a definition though.

 

Sounds like schizofrenia may be your trip

 

The west is the best.. Get here and we'll do the rest..

 

There's danger on the edge of town. Ride the king's highway, baby!

 

the west is the best ? the pioneers of progress ??? progress towards something ,progress doesn't mean its good ,

 

fuck the king and his highway

 

follow the king and his highway ..and let him deceive you ,,become one of his monkeys ,eat his pizza and mcdondalds ,,,get obese ,and one of his diseases

 

d

do as he says ,and you will be fine

 

They're quoting a song dude. Have a smoke and chill.
