Читать книгу An Introduction to Intercultural Communication - Fred E. Jandt - Страница 140

The belief that non-Western peoples should adopt Western values, institutions, and culture is immoral because of what would be necessary to bring it about.… If non-Western societies are once again to be shaped by Western culture, it will happen only as a result of expansion, deployment, and impact of Western power.… As a maturing civilization, the West no longer has the economic or demographic dynamism required to impose its will on other societies and any effort to do so is also contrary to the Western values of self-determination and democracy.
