third world mess

WEST HATERS

Ok - so there are two predominant world views in the west. One believes in the individual as expressed by the individual, the other believes in the individual as manged by elites. So when a third world country gets into a mess the two camps see different causes and solutions. The pro-west wing defends western culture as superior and offers - that if it is the aim of any third world culture to become as successful as the west - they need to adopt western practices (its ok to be different just don't expect the same results). The anti-west wing blames western imperialism as the cause and offers more imperialism as the solution (they call it aid). They believe in the basic equality of all cultures and beliefs expecting equal results. Clearly these poor souls lack the self efficacy to mess things up on their own- only the west can be blamed!
