Extegration in a multipolar world:

the proliferation of the West in

the 21st Century

Much too late has the Western World realized the implications of foreign
culture upon our civilizations. A confident post colonial chauvinism is still
part of the mindsets of most of our population (i.e. stereotyping ‘the other’
as culturally inferior). The World Wars have left tremendous scars upon
our nations, not only on the surface but also within the bodies of our
heritage. Great amounts of mistrust are still to be felt everywhere from the
lowest societal ranks up to the highest of the bourgeoisie which to an ever
greater extent consists of nouveau riche. Our culture, for understandable
reasons no longer emphasizes the past, but the present. Today
Westerners do not enjoy studying people who sacrificed their selves for
the proliferation of their people but instead those who sacrifice their
anonymity on television. They prefer images over text, subjectivity over
objectifiable rational analysis. The Western mind has become one
characterized by disappointment, disillusion and a hatred of its own kind.
Thus we tend to turn to other civilizations’ values and culture, in order to
try and find fulfilment therein.
What would usually be a difficult task involving travel, study and
contemplation as well as a determined choice to adapt to foreign culture,
is usually all to conveniently bypassed by choosing to learn a most difficult
system in an equally ridiculously simplified form via exchange with people
who themselves have failed at extegration/integration – i.e. the average
pseudo civilized and undereducated immigrant.#1
Sadly, the best grasp of foreign civilization an average Westerner imagines
to be able to get nowadays is all too often through an all inclusive holiday
predominantly spent under palm trees. If he or she is ‘lucky’ they will make
the decision to go on a sight seeing trip around more urbanized areas, yet
what they see will usually be forgotten or merely be remembered for its
romantic implications in the long run.

#1 – I should mention at this point that I believe immigration of productive
and educated humans should be welcomed and attempts made to help
those integrate more quickly.

Therefore, at the centre of the West’s civilizations’ problems lies passivity.
In foreign policy this passivity utters itself via an unthinking and
undiscriminating acceptance of all impressions gathered, however
nonsensical or stereotyped they may appear on the surface. Western
tourists return with a stereotypical view. Equally on a national level, low
class undereducated immigrants may be mistaken for representatives of
the country that they themselves left in hope of a better future in the
West.

The conclusion of this lazy approach to civilizations foreign to our Western

hemisphere is an utterly distorted image of reality on behalf of the
average citizen. People communicating with average immigrants usually
receive poor understanding of foreign culture through that person.
Tourists who return from holiday abroad can neither be said to receive any
more valuable impression of the respective country they visited. Their
conclusions will have to be emotional, as the few dealings they’re involved
in with foreign culture usually have no rational edge. They are simply not
culturally, economically or linguistically relevant as these dealings either
result from a desire to relax (i.e. holiday), or the necessity of
communication (i.e. choosing to eat at the local Chinese).

Western extegration.
