Search Results - Western world

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

The term Western world, the West or the Occident (Latin occidens -sunset, -west, as distinct from the Orient) can have multiple meanings dependent on its context (e.g., the time period, or the regional social situation). Accordingly, the basic definition of what constitutes "the West" varies, expanding and contracting over time, in relation to various historical circumstances. Some historians believe the West originated in the northern and eastern Mediterranean with ancient Greece and ancient Rome. While other historians, such as Carroll Quigley (Evolution of Civilizations), contend that Western Civilization was born around 400 AD, after the total collapse of the Western Roman Empire, leaving a vacuum for new ideas to flourish that were impossible in Classical societies. Over time, their associated empires grew first to the east and south conquering many older civilizations, and later to the north and west to include Central and Western Europe. Between the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the Renaissance, the West experienced a period of relative decline, known as the Middle Ages, which included the Dark Ages and the Crusades. The knowledge of the ancient Western world was preserved and survived during this period due to the Byzantine Empire, the Roman Catholic Church, and especially scholars of the Medieval Islamic World who significantly expanded on that ancient knowledge.

Since the Renaissance, the West evolved beyond the influence of the ancient Greeks, Romans and Muslims due to the expansion of the Christian peoples of Western European empires, and particularly the globe-spanning British Empire of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Since the Age of Discovery and Columbus, the notion of the West expanded to include the Americas, though much of the Americas have considerable pre-Western cultural influence. Australia, New Zealand, and, sometimes, South Africa[citation needed] are considered part of Western culture due to their former status as settler colonies of Western Christian nations. In addition, Israel may be considered part of the West due to its late European colonial origins in the early twentieth century, having been founded by European Jewish settlers. Generally speaking, the current consensus would locate the West, at the very least, in the cultures and peoples of Europe, North America,and Australia. Although nations such as Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Brazil and New Zealand are heavily Western in the traditional sense of the term, the common element being the omnipresence of Christian culture.

In a linguistic context, the languages of most nations of the West are members of the Indo-European language family. It should be noted, however, that the Indo-European languages are not exclusively, or even mainly Western; Persian, Pashto, Urdu and Sanskrit are Indo-Iranian languages, and as such are part of the Indo-European language family. There are several linguistic exceptions within the West, including Semitic languages, predominantly Arabic and Hebrew, which are members of the Afro-Asiatic language family, as well as Finnish and Hungarian, which belongs to the Uralic family and Basque, whose linguistic family is completely unknown.

In a religious context, some would define the Abrahamic religions of Christianity and Judaism as 'Western'. The Urantia Book, for example, assumes throughout that there exists a solid link between 'Western' culture and the presence of Christianity.
