2. Western /westernism and western Culture
 coming from the west
 a locution or pronunciation characteristic of a western region and especially of the
western U.S.
 Western culture, sometimes equated with Western civilization, Western lifestyle or
European civilization, is a term used very broadly to refer to a heritage of social
norms, ethical values, traditional customs, belief systems, political systems, and
specific artifacts and technologies that have some origin or association with Europe.
 The term has come to apply to countries whose history is strongly marked by
European immigration, such as the countries of the Americas and Australasia, and is
not restricted to the continent of Europe.
 Western culture is characterized by a host of artistic, philosophic, literary, and legal
themes and traditions; the heritage of Celtic, Germanic, Hellenic, Jewish, Slavic,
Latin, and other ethnic and linguistic groups, as well as Christianity, which played an
important part in the shaping of Western civilization since at least the 4th century.

3. Western /westernism and western Culture
 Also contributing to Western thought, in ancient times and then in the Middle Ages
and the Renaissance onwards, a tradition of rationalism in various spheres of life,
developed by Hellenistic philosophy, Scholasticism, humanism, the Scientific
Revolution and the Enlightenment.
 Values of Western culture have, throughout history, been derived from political
thought, widespread employment of rational argument favouring freethought,
assimilation of human rights, the need for equality, and democracy.
 Historical records of Western culture in Europe begin with Ancient Greece and
Ancient Rome.
 Western culture continued to develop with Christianization during the Middle Ages,
the reform and modernization triggered by the Renaissance, and with globalization
by successive European empires, that spread European ways of life and European
educational methods around the world between the 16th and 20th centuries.

4. Western /westernism and western Culture
 European culture developed with a complex range of philosophy, medieval
scholasticism and mysticism, and Christian and secular humanism.
 Rational thinking developed through a long age of change and formation, with the
experiments of the Enlightenment, and breakthroughs in the sciences.
 With its global connection, European culture grew with an all-inclusive urge to adopt,
adapt, and ultimately influence other cultural trends around the world.
 Tendencies that have come to define modern Western societies include the
existence of political pluralism, prominent subcultures or countercultures (such as
New Age movements), and increasing cultural syncretism -- resulting from
globalization and human migration.

5. Non-Western and Nonwestern Culture
 relating to the part of the world that does not include the countries of western Europe and North
America
 non-Western countries
 the non-Western world
 non-Western art/culture
 Non-Western art refers to any art objects originating from the cultures and societies outside of the
Western world. The West includes the cultures of Europe and the arts utilizing European aesthetics. Arts
of colonized areas such as the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada are considered the
West, but the arts from the native peoples of these countries are referred to as non-Western art.
 Language
 In societies with no written language, song, stories and theater served as ways to pass on information
about history, creation myths and morality tales as well as entertainment. In other non-Western cultures,
languages have a long literary history and writing became a visual as well as literary art. The elegant and
skilful execution of calligraphy became important aspects of art in such places as Arabia, Persia, India
and China.

6. Non-Western and Non-western Culture
 in many non-Western democracies, politicians actively run against Western influence
(Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, for example). Even in modern industrial states such as
Japan, Western values are increasingly attacked (at least superficially). Thus, Huntington
concludes, “… we are witnessing the end of the progressive era dominated by Western
ideologies, and are moving into an era in which multiple and diverse civilizations will
interact, compete, coexist, and accommodate each other.” The rival of religion that is
occurring in many parts of the world (in particular in Asian and Islamic nations) is clearly
a manifestation of a growing process of indigenization.

7. Western Countries List
 The 35 high-income countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD), which include: Australia, Canada, Iceland, Israel, Japan, New
Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Switzerland, the United States and the countries
of the EU (except for: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Malta and Romania), are generally
included in what used to be called developed world, although the OECD includes
countries, namely, Chile, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Slovenia and Turkey,
that are not yet fully industrial countries, but newly industrialised countries.
Although Andorra, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Macau, Malta, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino,
Singapore, Taiwan and Vatican City, are not members of the OECD, they might also be
regarded as developed countries, because of their high living standards, high per capita
incomes, and their social, economic and political structure are quite similar to those of
the high income OECD countries.
