    the motive is to try and inject unity and a feeling of belong for political aims and societal needs.
    I understand that US history does that, but Western Civilization does the opposite. It gives us a sense of belonging to a whole civilzation, not just the US.

      Sure pattycakes... now go back to the sandbox to play.

      The fact that the US is the epitome of 'Western Civilization', saying it ain't 'western' displays your level of ignorance.

        how can the french revolution being comapred as having the same civilizational pattern as the evolutinary monarchic pattern of england?

        how could "western civ" have started in hellenistic times or have in its basis the athenian golden age?

        how can protestant work ethic be paralleled to orthodox ascesism?

        manufacturing a theory doesnt make it so.

            Western Civilization is a term used to talk about history and society. It's helpfull. There is no political motive for it, and you haven't presented one.

              cold war was what pumped it

              societal needs is what gave it birth

              but cant create what has never existed
              the fragmaneations are too many and too diferantiantial to be grouped under one theoretic roof

                and the US certaintly isn;t a part of the very very very lose definition of a european culture, which the closest that can come to the non existant "western civ"

                and as i said even that european civ isnt really apparent and unified to a degree that it would differantiate it from others.

                  Americans were talking about their connection to a civilization from the time they got off the first ship. They just didn't call it Western Civilization yet.

                  At any rate, Russia was included in my Western Civ classes.

                        exactly.

                        and i doubt the panspermia of the people who went to the new world had one unifying and sufficiently differantiantional aspect of cultural homogenity that would make them "one group"

                            You're taking unity to the absolute. No two people are absolutely unified. It's relative. The Europeans were more unified with each other than they were with the natives and the slaves.

                                And the people who use the term don't claim that what you say is false, but you still haven't shown any political motivation.
