Post American World- Meeting 2

The Post American World- Meeting Two (Pg. 65-128)

             Three non Western countries (Japan, China, and India) keep their tradition and culture, which makes them unique and more modernized but not Western. Other than military and political power, all other shifts of power including educational, financial, social, and cultural are leading to the weakening of American dominance. Which is we are moving into Post- American world that directed from many places and by many people.

                “Western civilization is precious not because it is universal but because it is unique.” (Zakaria 74) The countries that are growing are not necessarily becoming more Western. For example, India, growing economic power, still has Indian women wearing fusion clothes that combine indigenous and international styles. This quote related to the first quarter theme, creativity. Creativity makes each country more unique and different from other countries. The other countries do not have to Westernize, but they can be more creative by keeping their culture and combining it with modern culture.
