At least we can admit that the world is more complicated than binary thinking.

for sure :D

And you have noticed, how aggressively and easily western culture has come to our countries? In ratios of people, food , the pop culture? Return movement too is, but not the such

How much is that western culture aggressively invading Asia, and how much is that thanks to the Internet the world's cultures (especially popular cultures) are shared more openly?

Look at this site alone. People use worlds like anime, manga, V-kei, etc. constantly. That wouldn't have been possible before the Internet.

You make it sound like its a hostile invasion. The swapping of cultures is probably one of the best things to come out of the internet and the development of global communication technology as MMM stated. I feel there is an equal amount of Eastern countries learning about the west as they are westerners learning the beauty of the east.

To be politely fair, the Brazilian President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, mentioned a while ago that the G8 (G7 + Russia) representative does more inefficiency than good and proposed G20 for organizing the world. This is a good news for non-Western parts of the world since the world has finally realized that G8 isn't that productive and too biased for Western countries (Japan is the hopeless exception). Now there will be a good outcome that the world would be fairly represented.

And another thing to mention: SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization).

LOL, that made my day.

Yes, the world became more opened. The Internet has unconditionally helped it.))) The mango, anime, etc-is remarkable. In a circle of my friends, all the same, the western culture has much bigger influence. Naturally, it defines a situation in whole (an example of my circle of contacts).
SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) - I am respectful to this organisation. Russia - occupies separate position in this world. It should be in the union with the East and gravitates to it more. In the union with the East, being a counterbalance to the West, SCO should inspect and try to define world politics.
In an ideal.
Russia does not need to be under a delusion with friendship with the West.

Why are you so resentful towards the West? What aspect of "Eastern culture" (if you even agree such a thing exists) do you think the West should adopt?

I think you are just as bad as the type of Westerners who look down on Asians.

:confused:

I think he's talking about eating main courses with desert spoons or something.
