what are the origins of western culture?如题作答,英文,字数在300字左右
答案
1.
Western culture is neither homogeneous nor unchanging.As with all other cultures it has evolved and gradually changed over time.All generalities about it have their exceptions at some time and place.The organisation and tactics of the Greek Hoplites differed in many ways from the Roman legions.The polis of the Greeks is not the same as the American superpower of the 21st century.The gladiatorial games of the Roman Empire are not identical to present-day football.The art of Pompeii is not the art of Hollywood.Nevertheless,it is possible to follow the evolution and history of the West,and appreciate its similarities and differences,its borrowings from,and contributions to,other cultures of humanity.
Concepts of what is the West arose out of legacies of the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire.Later,ideas of the west were formed by the concepts of Christendom and the Holy Roman Empire.What we think of as Western thought today is generally defined as Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian culture,and includes the ideals of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment.
2.
Western culture began in Ancient Greece.There and in the Roman civilization it developed until the start of the Middle Ages when it largely vanished from Europe.During the Middle Ages,Western culture resided,instead,in the Arab / Persian world to a modest degree.
Then the rediscovery of Western culture in Europe in the Late Middle Ages prompted the Renaissance.Western culture’s continuing development then led to the Scientific Revolution,the Enlightenment,the American Revolution,the Industrial Revolution and to what is considered today as modern civilization.
Today,Western culture has at least some presence in nearly all nations of the world.It does not currently exist,however,anywhere in a perfect and complete form.Wherever Western culture exists,it is at least partially mixed—and often largely mixed—with non-Western culture.
Western culture currently dominates in many Western and Central European nations and several nations settled by Europeans and their descendants.Western culture also significantly exists in many Asian nations,such as Japan,South Korea,Taiwan and Singapore,and it is increasingly influential in India and China.
It has only a modest presence in most of the rest of Asia as well as Latin America and Eastern Europe.In much of both Africa and the Middle East,Western culture currently has little meaningful presence.
