mysterious and tempting.

untrustworthiness, fickle ness, laxity, violence and lust.
• Orient people indulge in dubious aspects of human behaviors.
• Therefore oriental peoples needed to be civilized and made to conform to the
perceived higher moral standards upheld in the West.
• Orientalism justified the propriety of colonialism by calming that Oriental
peoples needed saving from themselves..
