18068, 'Westerner'
Posted by Solarus, Thu Mar-01-01 05:42 PM
refers to anyone succumbing to a European-centered cultural core. "Westerner" is a preferred term over "European" as not to cause more confusion (and debate) when discussing Americans and/or non-white individuals adhering to a European cultural core. American culture is founded on European cultural principles. While it is distinct on the surface (as European nations are from one another), there are certain foundational characteristics that connect it to a parental European cultural base.

That help?

"Activism is the practice of using an internal, self-determining source of power to live one's life and/or enact some sort of change. Power is the ability to define reality, while self-determination is to decide or define one's self. Therefore activism, is not simply something done to right some wrong or to fight some cause but rather it is a way of life. Activism is the way of life where one can define self and change anything that may impede or control the reality that one chooses to live."-Solarus
