The overall process of Westernization is often two-sided in that Western influences and interests themselves are joined with parts of the affected society, at minimum, to become a more Westernized society, with the putative goal of attaining a Western life or some aspects of it, while Western societies are themselves affected by this process and interaction with non-Western groups. </p><p>Westernization traces its roots back to <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Greece" title="Ancient Greece">Ancient Greece</a>.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">&#91;<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The Romans emerged with a culture that grew into a new Western identity based on the <a href="/wiki/Greco-Roman_world" title="Greco-Roman world">Greco-Roman</a> society. Westernization can also be compared to <a href="/wiki/Acculturation" title="Acculturation">acculturation</a> and <a href="/wiki/Enculturation" title="Enculturation">enculturation</a>.

Specific to Westernization and the non-Western culture, foreign societies tend to adopt changes in their social systems relative to Western ideology, lifestyle, and physical appearance, along with numerous other aspects, and shifts in culture patterns can be seen to take root as a community becomes acculturated to Western customs and characteristics – in other words, Westernized.

Said references <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Balfour" title="Arthur Balfour">Arthur Balfour</a>, the British Prime Minister from 1902 to 1905, who regarded the rise of nationalism in Egypt in the late 19th century as counterproductive to a "benevolent" system of occupational rule. Balfour frames his argument in favor of continued rule over the Egyptian people by appealing to England's great "understanding" of Egypt's civilization and purporting that England's cultural strengths complemented and made them natural superiors to Egypt's racial deficiencies. Regarding this claim, Said says, "Knowledge to Balfour means surveying a civilization from its origins to its prime to its decline – and of course, it means being able to...The object of such knowledge is inherently vulnerable to scrutiny; this object is a 'fact' which, if it develops, changes, or otherwise transforms itself...[the civilization] nevertheless is fundamentally, even ontologically stable. To have such knowledge of such a thing is to dominate it." The act of claiming coherent knowledge of a society in effect objectifies and others it into marginalization, making people who are classified into that race as "almost everywhere nearly the same." Said also argues that this relationship to the "inferior" races, in fact, works to also fortify and make coherent what is meant by "the West"; if "The Oriental is irrational, depraved (fallen), childlike, "different..." then "...the European is rational, virtuous, mature, normal." Thus, "the West" acts as a construction in the similar way as does "the Orient" – it is a created notion to justify a particular set of power relations, in this case, the colonization and rule of a foreign country. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Process">Process</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Westernization&amp;action=edit&amp;section=7" title="Edit section: Process"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Western_influence_on_Africa" title="Western influence on Africa">Western influence on Africa</a> and <a href="/wiki/Anglicisation" title="Anglicisation">Anglicisation</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Colonization_and_Europeanization_(1400s–1970s)"><span id="Colonization_and_Europeanization_.281400s.E2.80.931970s.29"></span>Colonization and Europeanization (1400s–1970s)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Westernization&amp;action=edit&amp;section=8" title="Edit section: Colonization and Europeanization (1400s–1970s)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Colonialism" title="Colonialism">Colonialism</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/European_diaspora" class="mw-redirect" title="European diaspora">European diaspora</a> and <a href="/wiki/American_diaspora" class="mw-redirect" title="American diaspora">American diaspora</a></div> <p>From the 1400s onward, <a href="/wiki/Europeanization" class="mw-redirect" title="Europeanization">Europeanization</a> and <a href="/wiki/Colonialism" title="Colonialism">colonialism</a> spread gradually over much of the world and controlled different regions during this five centuries long period, <a href="/wiki/History_of_colonialism" title="History of colonialism">colonizing or subjecting</a> the majority of the globe. </p><p>Following <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, Western leaders and academics sought to expand innate liberties and international equality.

This theory proposes that Western thought has led to globalisation, and that globalisation propagates Western culture, leading to a cycle of Westernization. On top of largely Western government systems such as <a href="/wiki/Democracy" title="Democracy">democracy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Constitution" title="Constitution">constitution</a>, many Western technologies and customs like music, clothing, and cars have been introduced across various parts of the world and copied and created in traditionally non-Western countries. </p><p>Westernization has been reversed in some countries following war or regime change.

After the <a href="/wiki/Dissolution_of_the_Soviet_Union" title="Dissolution of the Soviet Union">break-up</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">USSR</a> in late 1991 and the end of the <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a>, many of its component states and allies nevertheless underwent Westernization, including <a href="/wiki/Privatization" title="Privatization">privatization</a> of hitherto state-controlled industry.<sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>45<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>With debates still going on, the question of whether globalization can be characterized as Westernization can be seen in various aspects. Globalization is happening in various aspects, ranging from economics, politics, and even food or culture. Westernization, to some schools, is seen as a form of globalization that leads the world to be similar to Western powers. Being globalized means taking positive aspects of the world, but globalization also brings the debate about being Westernized. Democracy, fast food, and American pop culture can all be examples that are considered as Westernization of the world. </p><p>According to the "Theory of the Globe scrambled by Social network: a new Sphere of Influence 2.0", published by Jura Gentium (<a href="/wiki/University_of_Florence" title="University of Florence">University of Florence</a>), the increasing role of Westernization is characterized by <a href="/wiki/Social_media" title="Social media">social media</a>.

In general, researchers consider that it has three main components, in Europe, North America and South america. [...] However, South America has followed a quite different development path from Europe and North America. Although it is a scion of European civilization, it also incorporates more elements of indigenous American civilizations compared to those of Northern America and Europe. It also currently has a more corporatist and authoritarian culture. Both Europe and Northern America felt the effects of Reformation and the combination of Catholic and Protestant cultures. Historically, many countries in the Americas has been only Catholic, although this may be changing. [...] the Americas could be considered, or a sub-set, within Western civilization, or can also be considered a separate civilization, intimately related to the West, but divided as to whether it belongs with it.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=book&amp;rft.btitle=Clash+of+Civilizations&amp;rft.place=Washington%2C+D.C.&amp;rft.pages=38-39&amp;rft.edition=6th&amp;rft.date=1991&amp;rft.isbn=978-0-684-84441-1&amp;rft.au=Huntington%2C+Samuel+P.&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fdetails%2Fclashofcivilizat00hunt%2Fpage%2F38&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AWesternization" class="Z3988"></span><span class="cs1-maint citation-comment"><code class="cs1-code">{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Cite_book" title="Template:Cite book">cite book</a>}}</code>: CS1 maint: location missing publisher (<a href="/wiki/Category:CS1_maint:_location_missing_publisher" title="Category:CS1 maint: location missing publisher">link</a>)</span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-19"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-19">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.nytimes.com/1976/01/23/archives/lebanon-at-a-glance.html">"Lebanon at a Glance"</a>. <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a></i>. 23 January 1976.</cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=unknown&amp;rft.jtitle=The+New+York+Times&amp;rft.atitle=Lebanon+at+a+Glance&amp;rft.date=1976-01-23&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F1976%2F01%2F23%2Farchives%2Flebanon-at-a-glance.html&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AWesternization" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-20"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-20">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFHeydarian2015" class="citation web cs1">Heydarian, Richard (2015-01-12). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/richard-javad-heydarian/philippines-shallow-capit_b_6441868.html">"Philippines' Shallow Capitalism: Westernization Without Prosperity"</a>. <i>The Huffington Post</i><span class="reference-accessdate">.
