A CRITIQUE OF THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS

The conflicts listed in 1993 are thus almost all relevant. The article supports its thesis that the new world order of a dominant western value will end up against the rest of the world for many reasons; He names six. To begin with “Civilizations are differentiated from each other by history, language, culture, tradition, and religion.” In fact that is true and it has been that way for centuries. He goes on to say that “the world is becoming a smaller place thus the interactions are more frequent and exposed mostly by the wealthy; the west.” Everywhere one goes today around the world he/she is faced with western and more precisely American influence. Thus, spreading and exposing younger generations with these popular values. It also brings the realit

Nevertheless it still has a long way to go and at the same time make religion a non political matter and consider it as a persons own business. There was a time when we considered the French, the English, the German, and the Italian as very different civilizations and today they are considered as one.

As today’s ever expanding knowledge of politically uncharted regions became exposed we concentrate on them as we did with the states in Europe. The world hasa grown from a regional to a universal perspective where the previous system was able to join together. He is writing this at a time where the collapse of the Soviet Union and its ideology – and the diminishing of the need for Western ideology in threat of the other – created a “belief vacuum” in the people, where they no longer knew what they should believe in. Huntington states that one must have the same the culture (or common civilization) to become a member of a regional organization. The idea of tolerance comes into mind when somebody wants to understand or ally oneself with another culture or keep the definitive goal of peace internally or within a region and thus “ultimately” the world. However one can not consider the cold war as the start of history. The clash of civilizations is thus nothing new as it has existed ever since we record history. The same religiousness that was oppressed and forced out by mainly the east and its allies. Going on Huntington says that “cultural characteristics … are less mutable … than political and economic ones” implying that one can not become a member of another culture and nationality. Humans have grasped onto religion for centuries and although the world (of course the world I know, does not match the “real” world as Greeks world did not match Chinese) is becoming more and more secular. The prospects are good - and even Mr. The ideologies they faced day in day out vanished and left it for the reemerging religiousness to take this role. Well of course, just in case that realism does consider this utopian idea as its short or long term goal.
