You are talking like the British/Romans spoke of themselves in the empire days... We are a bit past that now. No one needs your civilisation or your manners... They might need your money though. ;)
- rayiner 13y agoFirst, some things are objective. Try being a woman working for Middle Eastern business-people and say it's "just culture." Second, Rome won in the end. The people that conquered them ultimately took on their culture. So it will be with Anglo-American culture. Even if in the future India and China are dominant, their culture will come to resemble ours. Indeed, that phenomenon has already been happening in India for 200+ years via British colonization.
- Gigablah 13y agoYou speak of culture like it's some sort of sports competition. Curious mindset.
- rayiner 13y agoI think our culture is objectively better in many ways, and that it's better for humanity for others to adopt it. Not just so "we win."
- bilbo0s 13y ago"...I think our culture is objectively better in many ways..." The problem is... everyone else ALSO thinks THEIR culture is "objectively better".
- rayiner 13y agoThat's not true. Many people in Asia and the Middle East want their countries to adopt the objectively better parts of Western culture. India is particularly pro-active in that regard.
- fakeer 13y agoNo! They just want to be developed but in their own way. You really have no idea about what is culture or in what way cultures of countries like India(my country) are shaping, do do you?
- rayiner 13y agoI'm Bengali, so I do have an idea. People on the sub-continent want to develop in their own way, but they generally have a deep respect for Western culture and a desire to adopt elements of it. India has already adopted huge amounts of British culture.
- bilbo0s 13y agoYes... But many in the West want the West to adopt the "objectively better" parts of Muslim, or Japanese culture. Every one of them... like you... think they know best what to do on the behalf of others.
