in 1880, Europeans controlled 10% of Africa; by 1914, controlled all except Liberia & Ethiopia; the Berlin Conference established the rules among European powers for carving up Africa…
China is an example of non-Western culture that has been impacted by the globalization. The impact of globalization in China mainly affected their economy. From a culture that mainly relied on economic self-sufficiency, China has transformed to a progressive economy that is more open to trade and foreign economy (Overholt, 2005). Another non-Western culture that has been impacted by globalization is India. Globalization altered the view and treatment to women within the male-dominant society. With globalization, there is the power to uproot the traditional views towards women so they can take equal stance in the society.…
The idea of Globalization as a way to forward international connectivity is not Western but often times Globalization is used to advance western ideas. Although Globalization is not inherently western, currently globalization is acting as a vehicle to advance westernization. To understand how Globalization is used to advance Westernization it is important to note the definition of neoliberalism, a Western ideology that is being spread and encouraged by the United States. Neoliberals “argue that deregulation and privatization of state-owned enterprises and limited government involvement in the economy [are] the best ways for countries’ economies to grow and individual freedoms to flourish.”(Campbell, 12) Neoliberalism…
Jules Ferry once said "In order for a country to be great, she must show her influence throughout the world and carry everywhere she can her language, her customs, her flag, her arms, and her genius." This quote is the perfect example of the views of an imperialist nation. From 1750-1914 Western civilizations dominated the world by enforcing their culture and systems upon weaker nations. Regions such as Africa, the Middle East, India, and Africa were severely impacted positively and negatively by the imperialism of the west. Two of those cultures that were affected in a very similar way during this time period by the effects of imperialism were Africa and India. In both places wars and violence occurred but new technologies were brought by the west that helped improved the civilizations. However Africa and India responded differently to the way the west imposed there economic, social and political ways upon the people.…

Nagib Gonzalez World Civ Section F: The east and west differences emerged from the Greco-Persian war. The idea was that the east stood for despotism and that the west stood for freedom. The eastern and Western conceptualizations still exist but the idea of the East and West in a literal sense is a thing of the past. Today, both the Western and Eastern Civilizations influence each other heavily. Western civilization can be compared to modern day Capitalism and the Eastern Civilization can be considered communism.…

The West's universalist pretensions increasingly bring it into conflict with other civilizations, most seriously with Islam and China; at the local level fault line wars, largely between Muslims and non-Muslims, generate "kin-country rallying," the threat of broader escalation, and hence efforts by core states to halt these wars.…
Muslims: The first great wave of Muslim expansion had ended at the beginning of the eighth century. Gradually, the Muslims built up a series of sea bases in their occupied territories in North Africa, Spain, and Southern Gaul and began a new series of attacks in the Mediterranean in the ninth century. They raided the southern coasts of Europe, especially Italy, and even threatened Rome in 843.…
New imperialism during the 19th century was fueled by the European desire to obtain resources to meet the needs of its newly industrialized society. The only way to do this was to push outward to unknown territory and gain control of its inhabitants and resources. Continents such as Africa and Asia were eventually explored. However, it was Africa that was found to be rich in many raw materials that would serve as catalysts to a bolstering European economy marked by industrialization. Though many of the inhabitants fought back against European imperialist aggression, some welcomed it. In, Abina and the Important Men, we can see that the relationship between the Westerners and the inhabitants was quite slippery due to opposition to Western imperialism by some, but also an appreciation to the modernization that Europeans brought to the area.…
The infiltration of western ideals into the Japanese Culture had forever changed customs and traditions of the Japanese society as a whole. Yet was it as it was stated in a 1941 pamphlet issued by the Japanese Ministry of Education entitled “The Way of the Subjects.”…
The crusades were religious wars promoted by the Catholic Church to regain entrance in holy places in Jerusalem in the thirteenth century. Both, Muslims and Jews had similar opinions about the crusades differing from the Christians who approved of them.…
Did you know that the Japanese feudal society actually lasted longer than feudalism in Europe? Japan was (and is) a small country with little natural resources to use to make their economy; however, they were very sponge like in their ability to absorb culture, resources, and practices from China. This does not mean they were just copycats, mimicking everything they saw though! They were very gifted in their ability to refine these practices into a way that was (and is) entirely their own. They have faced many wars, invasions, disturbances, etc over the many long years. Some have been civil, some glorious, some never even came to fruition, while others were terrible? But through it all they have lasted and become what they are today. The Eastern world is a place that is deeply soaked in culture and intellectual depth that few people truly understand, but those that do may find something amazing indeed.…
Many scholars have attempted to identify the paradoxical positioning of the Balkan region or simply Balkans. The Balkans are geographically part of Europe, but conceptually excluded from the Western European political and economic sphere as well as culture, beliefs and values. The “Balkan construction” was part of the Western Hegemonic discourse and it has been seen as a ‘remote area’ - the dark and barbaric side of Europe. The typical Western – created the concept for Balkans reflect stereotypes such as violence, ferocity, irrationality and uncontrollable passion. Balkanism has been always defined as subordinate and as a bipolar system (rational/irrational, center/periphery, civilization/barbarism) arranged hierarchically as a primary point…
