I have read and reread this post several times, the fear of not properly express my thoughts, plus the fact that, in some passages, I seem to biting the hand that feeds me blocked from posting ..... then I decided ......
What we now define the West? We could call it an entity all in all not only geographical, but ideological expression of a race, the 'universality of the Christian message and individualism have been essential in establishing this thought. Ethical message (almost ethnic) West is the mission of men's liberation from oppression and misery.
contests Serge Latouche, "The reduction of the West to the pure ideology of 'humanitarian universalism is too mystifying. It is difficult to dissociate the emancipatory side, that of Human Rights, the slope spoliatore, the struggle for profit. "
Highlights included close ties with Western capitalism, globalization and industrialization, and a series of shifts in the center of gravity, center of that which once stood in one place, then another of Europe ', in the last century moved to America, following a dynamic that makes that we can never predict where it will be tomorrow. Westernization has been a fundamental principle, for example, the invention of "third world" always described in a state of neglect. Surely, this definition is not entirely objectionable, but it certainly has been exacerbated by shock therapy throughout Western policies of "development." Enter values \u200b\u200bin other cultures, perhaps unknown to them, such as science, technology, business has certainly undermined the stability of their ethnicity, the 'West has certainly, in the colonization exported a gift, but he raped ethnic groups, races and cultures where it is presented, among the victims more ecclatanti American Indians.
Industrialization, urbanization and nationalist (increasingly important national organization and bureaucracy) are the characteristics of each "modernization", but does not always lead to the welfare of these three elements that seem to promise, at times, are carriers of the destruction of what would then reconstruct otherwise. The phenomenon is not entirely accidental that some of the people consider themselves "poor" is in a physiological sense for the existence of the capitalist machine, on a symbolic level because poverty is a sign of inferiority, in the Western imagination, and is it necessary that there is always someone "below".
doing so, however, has become a victim, fortunately, the order of the modern nation-state, called into question by these global processes. The capital, after being in the heart of this institution, leading to the crisis of nation-state that sees its power of finance transnational confiscated. This deterritorialization of society does not lead to a new world order, but a mess, a crisis of civilization.
now up to us to cure this disease, certain key points of 'Occidentalism can not be dismantled in its entirety, but the return of principles and values \u200b\u200bthat go back to our story, not too remote, the "desecrate" the profit for the benefit of sustainability and the exaltation of the local community together with a regional management of resources is likely to endanger the sixth civilization that we have sold out to money. Stepping back into modernizing and unbridled capitalism (not in the moderate, consider me a Bolshevik) costs a lot in terms of personal well-being, but could return to the surface the value of the 'man at the expense of the profit margin without rules.
Speech difficult to deal with, but thanks to which our children one day we may thank George Bargna.
