Title: Why is it that European based culture rules the world?
Post by: Irongrip400 on August 03, 2012, 08:06:58 AM
And before you get all, "racist post reported", I will include American minorites, which is why I used "culture".  Seriously, why are we so far ahead of everybody else?  Look at the African continent, Middle East, and Central Asia/Indian subcontinent, and look at these people.  I am not sure if it is a genetic thing, becasue you can look at the blacks here in America, and they have assimilated to the European culture(for the most part) and are doing well.  Look at the Romans.  I've been to Italy and seen the ruins, of what people did in the time befor Christ, and compare that to everyone else, and you just think, why?  Why are we so much better off?  Take the European colonies, America, Canada etc, and we have all thrived, where as you take the European influence out, and society colapses.  I don't follow religion, and wouldn't say I believe in God or the afterlife, but is there something different about the Christian faith that sets up a society to flourish?  Some comments from our not so fortunate bretheren please.

Part of this was brought on by the thread I just viewed on India, and saw how gross it was, and then if you watch the world news, or listen to BBC, you see the attrocities commited by these warlords.  Even if you say that the US is responsible for its own crimes, at least we do it with class.

Several Asian cultures are also extremely advanced and sophisticated too.

Wish we could close immigration to anyone Non European, Korean or Japanese.  :)

True, the Japanese were very far ahead for being so isolated.  They are pretty squared away people.  What do you think is the underlying factor?

I suspect it has to do with their home island being so small.  If they were fighting all the time then the civilization would probably get wiped out pretty fast.

Constant warfare, threat of warfare, rivalry and trading of ideas between many different kingdoms and nations within Europe lead to faster development.

When Europe recovered from the Dark Ages at least.

And then the Age of Enlightenment where reason started to take over the more mysterious beliefs of religion. The world was then viewed from a scientific perspective instead of a religious one.

The Arab world did not have an Enlightenment and many aspects of their thinking and culture is still stuck in the Middle-Ages.

With regards to China, I've read an argument that their peace and (relative) stability of thousands of years lead to their development stagnating.
In Europe, the technology was used and developed for warfare whereas the peaceful and more stable conditions of much of China's history did not create such an urgency.

Warfare massively speeds up the rate of developing technology, look at the difference of 1939 and 1945 in Europe.
At the end of the war there were 60 ton tanks, jet fighters, missiles, U-boats which could stay submerged for months and of course the Atomic bomb.

I also think Western culture promoted individualism more. Eastern culture is more about order, 'stability', knowing your place in society and not disturbing order or questioning authority.

I think this is perhaps more a reflection of your own European narrow thinking. Surely there's around 2 billion Chinese and 1 billion Indians who don't give two damns about our culture? Add to this the fact Dubai, Qatar etc have so much oil and monetary influence right now, I would say at least half the world isn't European-ised yet.

Certianly Europeans seem prone to fucking over/colonising other continents like Africa, Australasia, and the Americas, so I take your point in that respect.

I can't speak much to the Chinese point of your reply, because it is shrouded in secrecy and the only thing I know of it comes from some dude named garebear on this board, but India is a fucking joke. They might not care about our culture, but it's probably because they don't have tv and wipe there ass with their bare fucking hands. Not to mention they stink. But, the ones that do know about us, obviously like it here, because they own every fucking Subway restaraunt around.

Well...Americans, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, much of South America and parts of southern Africa are descended from Europeans. Their culture, architecture and way of thinking originates from Europe and are still pretty similar in many ways with a lot of shared heritage.

Compared to other countries across the world, there's not a massive difference between these cultures, especially the English speaking ones.

This is an interesting question. One would need an all-encompassing, "God's-eye," view to "know" the answer. However, although we lack such an onmiscient vantage point, we might still begin to formulate some thoughts by looking (charitably before critically) at, say, the following, fairly recent, popular works:

* Jared Diamond, Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fate of Human Societies
                         Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
* Ian Morris, Why the West Rules--for Now: The Patterns of History, and What They Reveal About the Future
* Niall Furguson, Civilization: The West and the Rest
* Francis Fukuyama, The Origins of Political Order: From Prehuman Times to the French Revolution

Youtube has some useful, supplemental material to these texts:












Thanks. Great videos.

Not racism, it's culturism. I believe it's a state of mind and how you're raised. Put anyone in this European system, and they thrive, simple as that. Americans and any other colony are all part of it. It's no surprise we want to make people fit into our ideals, they work.  :-\

My dad and uncles prefer American...I know of many black men who'd prefer American iron over Euro. I know of others who prefer Harleys over Euro (like Triumph or Japanese).

One of the reasons why Euro cars tend to be percieved as better (Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Ferrari, etc all have worse reliability than the Japanese) is due to their testing, heritage (German over engineering their cars) and track records, and Handling.
American car companies are ruled by the Finance guys---they hold the keys. Ford and Chrysler have had some great concept cars that Finance killed, like the GT90, Indigo, Shelby GR1, Copperhead, and others.
Remember it was Honda that showed Ferrari how to build a great performing and reliable supercar with the NSX, and it was Lexus that showed BMW, Mercedes, Audi how to build reliable luxury cars. And nbody does muscle cars like Americans

Euro cars are great status symbols, especially for Americans who come from poor environments or aspire for the best (percieved). And when you have Americans companies that always tout the "for the money" thing.

Remember it was the 56-57 Continental Mark II that cost more than a Rolls Royce,
and it was Black Americans back in the 40s and 50s that put Cadillac on the map to be aspired to.

irongrip, you may have some points, but there are many things within African and Asian cultures that are to admired, even copied. Such as discipline, positive mindset when facing adversity. Admiration for the natural realm, and living with Nature instead of trying to be it's master.

Parker, yes indeed some valid points but the germans for the most part are the pioneers when it comes to the overall autos. Japanese only took what was great to began with and made it better with reliability with not much creativity. They for the most part not innovate like the Germans do and by American cars they are only good if they follow euro principals look at gm and all of ford, direct euro like the new caddys.

Japanese build good cars though but still lacking in a lot of areas
Americans did once a blue moon only way they are going up is doing it the euro way

Germans/euros have their weaknesses too but by far the most complete cars built

Russia has a (relatively small) European part, yes. I'd hardly call Russia European, though. Their lands stretch as far as the Far East.

In this respect Russia is similar to Turkey, which also has a small Europen part, but the vast majority of its lands are on the Middle East.

I love reading history, but we have to have a level head on the subject.  Most accounts were made hundreds of years after the events took place.  Every Emperor, king, etc..... had his own historians who would obviously be favorable in their writings.  Just like the enemies would purposely slander the opponents.  It's mostly conjecture at this point.

I love reading history, but we have to have a level head on the subject.  Most accounts were made hundreds of years after the events took place.  Every Emperor, king, etc..... had his own historians who would obviously be favorable in their writings.  Just like the enemies would purposely slander the opponents.  It's mostly conjecture at this point.
 true, to a point. THE DANGER in the past 74 years is..... Who controls the past, controls the FUTURE, who controls the PRESENT, controls the PAST.  If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever

Look how Ramses had history written---every battle he ever fought, he won (all wins no losses?), even when others wrote that the Egyptian lost, Ramses had that they won.
And apparently, he had every mention of Moses stricken from record as well.

American is an extension of Europe, and America currently is the most devastatingly dominant world empire to date. Throw in globalization and Hollywood into that mix  and you got cultural export/import into most relatively inferior countries.  


I don't think people realize the progress humans have achieved so far. It is almost an unbelievable science fiction story. Although i think the world will sooner than later go Mad and start unloading the massive nuclear weapons stocked by many nations.


That would set back the world a few hundred years.

I also call bullshit on the middle east being behind.  The Persian empire was every bit as advanced as the west in ancient times. Chinese as well.

Shizz, come on man, yes, they were advanced but not now. I agree, the ottoman empire was great for about 500 years, but they crumbled and did not innovate and advance. What im saying is, that this culture makes the smartest people, and even though it sucked for the blacks being brought from Africa back in the day, every descendent should be glad they were exposed to this way of life ( no racist).

I think it comes with being the most powerful country.  Most of Europe is pretty shitty these days.

Russia has a (relatively small) European part, yes. I'd hardly call Russia European, though. Their lands stretch as far as the Far East.

In this respect Russia is similar to Turkey, which also has a small Europen part, but the vast majority of its lands are on the Middle East. 
That`s complete bullshit, if turkey is considered asian, than it would only make sense that russia is european. All of russia`s people, language, religion, and politics(new and old) come from europe. It closest and most simliar countries belorus and ukraine are both european as well. Furthermore it`s asian lands are a product of european style colinization, not to mention the fact that the bulk of it`s population and all it`s richest cities are in the european part.

Constant warfare, threat of warfare, rivalry and trading of ideas between many different kingdoms and nations within Europe lead to faster development.

When Europe recovered from the Dark Ages at least.

And then the Age of Enlightenment where reason started to take over the more mysterious beliefs of religion. The world was then viewed from a scientific perspective instead of a religious one.

The Arab world did not have an Enlightenment and many aspects of their thinking and culture is still stuck in the Middle-Ages.

With regards to China, I've read an argument that their peace and (relative) stability of thousands of years lead to their development stagnating.
In Europe, the technology was used and developed for warfare whereas the peaceful and more stable conditions of much of China's history did not create such an urgency.

Warfare massively speeds up the rate of developing technology, look at the difference of 1939 and 1945 in Europe.
At the end of the war there were 60 ton tanks, jet fighters, missiles, U-boats which could stay submerged for months and of course the Atomic bomb.

I also think Western culture promoted individualism more. Eastern culture is more about order, 'stability', knowing your place in society and not disturbing order or questioning authority.


This is largely correct.

Who or what will replace Western Culture to lead the world forward in terms of technological and cultural development?

I can't speak much to the Chinese point of your reply, because it is shrouded in secrecy and the only thing I know of it comes from some dude named garebear on this board, but India is a fucking joke. They might not care about our culture, but it's probably because they don't have tv and wipe there ass with their bare fucking hands. Not to mention they stink. But, the ones that do know about us, obviously like it here, because they own every fucking Subway restaraunt around.

It's strange that the smartest young minds are usually from foreign countries.  Maybe the shift is already in motion.  As was said earlier, European culture won out mostly due to the spoils of war. They founded greek towns in foreign lands (ala Alexandria in Egypt by Alexander the Great)  The fact that Alexandria still exists (even in name) after all of these years is astounding to me.  I pray that they find his tomb someday (he was embalmed like an Egyptian mummy) It would be the greatest find in history.  It probably was destroyed/robbed long ago though  :-\  It was said to be made almost entirely of gold and precious jewels.  It would make King Tut's sarcophagus look like a cracker jack toy.

This is part of the threat of embargos from India, if the american people force govt to stop outsourcing jobs. Even fast food joints are now outsourcing your drive through orders, lol, you never even speak to anyone in the restaurant.

India is one of the world's most naturally endowed lands. India is home to numerous minerals which benefit the country economically. The minerals produced in India constitute one-quarter of the world's most popular mineral resources.


India is gifted with important mineral resources. The country produces about 89 minerals out of which 52 are non-metallic, 4 are fuel minerals, 11 are metallic, and 22 are minor minerals.

The value of the total India mineral production in the year 2000-2001 stood at Rs. 568070 million excluding the value of petroleum and natural gas.

India happens to be the largest producer of mica blocks in the world. India has also recently grabbed the second position as far as chromite production goes. Due to the recent spurt in the demand for chromite across the world the country has really managed to accelerate its production.

India holds the 3rd rank in case of coal & lignite production, 2nd rank in case of barites production, 4th in case of iron ore, 5th in case of bauxite and crude steel, 7th in case of manganese ore and 8th position in case of aluminum production.

The Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited or MECL is the company which is responsible for exploring various minerals and ores using the processes of drilling and exploratory mining. It is a public sector company which takes up exploration for both the Government of India and other agencies on a contractual basis. According to the Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited, India has still not fully explored its rich mineral wealth.

Minerals found in the different regions in India

Below is a table that shows that different minerals found in the different geographical locations in India :

Mineral Belt Geographic Location Minerals Found
North Eastern Peninsular Belt The region comprising the Chota Nagpur plateau and the Orissa plateau which covers the states of Jharkhand, West Bengal and Orissa. Manganese, bauxite, copper, Coal, iron ore, mica, kyanite, chromite, beryl, apatite etc. India's 100 percent Kyanite, This region accounts for the country's 93 percent iron ore, production and 84 percent coal production 
South Western Belt Karnataka and Goa. Garnet Iron ore and clay.
North Western Belt Rajasthan and Gujarat along the Aravali Range. Mostly non-ferrous minerals, uranium, aquamarine, petroleum, mica, beryllium, gypsum and emerald.
Southern Belt Karnataka plateau and Tamil Nadu. Bauxite and Ferrous minerals 
Central Belt Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Bauxite, uranium, Manganese, limestone, mica, graphite, marble, coal, gems, etc.

Exactly the point of this thread, they have all the ingredients and don't do shit with it.  they come here for a better education and better life.  Why don't they try to do something better with their own country?

because wealth is not split up the same way as in the usa. Every single world resource is capitalized on right away by the people who think they own the world. If you want to know what all this shit in the middle east is really about, strategically, Iran and oil. why does america hate Chavez?? he will not bend to their will and let them rape the land and put his people in dispairity. I had to laugh when I was watching a commercial in Maine, it was underpriveledged families thanking CITGO for donating free oil to heat their homes that winter, lol guess who owns citgo? I dont think any american oil company would do that.

Yeah, now, but when we were a developing nation (like these other countries should be) it wasn't like that. Now, people see we've made it(as in America) and take the short cut, or quick path to success. These people should stay in their own areas and try developing that, instead of crippling their own countries by leaving.
