Western Civilization could be described in multiple ways. Lawrence Birken article called What is Western Civilization explains it’s the World “centered around the Mediterranean and beginning with the Greeks.”[1] Frank Roy Willis adds the study of Western Civilization is “the West as that civilization that developed in the continent of Europe and was carried to…areas in other parts of the globe that were colonized by people from Europe”.[2] Both of these explanations are correct to a degree. A further explanation is Western Civilization is a share European cultural ideology along with intellectual and ancestry beliefs. But, is this ideology still relevant?
