The Western world or the West is a term referring to different nations, depending on the context, most often including at least part of Europe. There are many accepted definitions about what they all have in common. The Western world is also known as the Occident (from Latin: occidens "sunset, West", as contrasted with its pendant the Orient).
The concept of the Western part of the earth has its roots in Greco-Roman civilization in Europe, and the advent of Christianity. In the modern era, Western culture has been heavily influenced by the traditions of the Renaissance, Protestant Reformation, Age of Enlightenment—and shaped by the expansive colonialism of the 15th-20th centuries. Before the Cold War era, the traditional Western viewpoint identified Western Civilization with the Western Christian (Catholic-Protestant) countries and culture. Its political usage was temporarily changed by the antagonism during the Cold War in the mid-to-late 20th Century (1947–1991).
The term originally had a literal geographic meaning. It contrasted Europe with the linked cultures and civilizations of the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the remote Far East, which early-modern Europeans saw as the East. Today this has little geographic relevance since the concept of the West has been expanded to include the former European colonies in the Americas, Russian Northern Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. In the contemporary cultural meaning, the phrase "Western world" includes Europe, as well as many countries of European colonial origin with substantial European ancestral populations in the Americas and Oceania.

A MUST HEAR! PLEASE LISTEN AND FORWARD! Questions this broadcast answers: 1.) Why would Syrian refugees make the dangerous and extremely long journey to European nations and U.S. (who hold damnable doctrine and life-styles according to the Quran) rather than the Arab nations (who are Islamic oriented) around them? 2.) Why has it taken 5 full years (length of civil war in certain parts of Syria) for Syrians in the particular regions to leave? 3.) Why are refugees tossing out good water and food given to them by western governments on their arrival? 4.) Why are many of the refugees young men? 5.) Why are the 5 wealthiest Gulf Nations refusing to take even one refugee? What do they know that we don't? 6.) Could it be this refugee crisis is not really a crisis at all but a Trojan Horse? 7.) ...
President Uhuru Kenyatta has accused Britain and other western countries of waging economic hostility against his government. Reacting to travel advisory against Kenya issued by Britain, the United States and other two governments, Kenyatta said it was unfair to target Kenya for terrorism that is essentially an international problem. The president says Kenya will promote domestic tourism and look for alternative tourist markets to plug the gap created by the exit of visitors from its traditional market

My friends, we are living in a time in History that calls for discernment, patience, diligence and faith.

Read your free e-book: http://downloadapp.us/mebk/50/en/B00WMRPNKQ/book For more than 2,500 years, the Western tradition has embraced monogamous marriage as an essential institution for the flourishing of men and women, parents and children, society and the state. At the same time, polygamy has been considered a serious crime that harms wives and children, correlates with sundry other crimes and abuses, and threatens good citizenship and political stability. The West has thus long punished all manner of plural marriages and denounced the polygamous teachings of selected Jews, Muslims, Anabaptists, Mormons, and others. John Witte, Jr carefully documents the Western case for monogamy over polygamy from antiquity until today. He analyzes the historical claims that polygamy is biblical, natura...

http://www.presstv.com/Program/210432.html The UK Prime Minister, David Cameron has threatened Commonwealth countries of withholding general budget support if they do not reform legislation banning homosexuality. He raised this at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth, Australia last week. Ending the bans on homosexuality was one of the recommendations of an internal report into the future relevance of the Commonwealth. But leaders failed to reach agreement on that at the summit. Mr Cameron says those receiving UK aid should "adhere to proper human rights". He told the BBC that "British aid should have more strings attached and that he had spoken with "a number of African countries" and more pressure had been applied by Foreign Secretary William Hague.
