What is the West?
In an age when some Eastern countries are Westernized, non-Western groups live in supposedly Western countries, and some Western countries are not fully Westernized, "the West" can no longer be defined territorially. Instead, "the West" is a mindset defined by three fundamental traits: a passion for innovation, a capacity for self-criticism, and gender equality.

PARIS -- Everyone everywhere has by now heard about the “clash of civilizations.” This Samuel Huntington concept has become universal. In the 1950’s, the French economist, Alfred Sauvy had a comparable success with the expression “third world.” One reason these phrases gain wide acceptance is their lack of clear definition. The “clash of civilizations,” basically the West against the rest, is supposed to describe the world as it is. In reality, the West is vague enough to include a vast array of areas without describing their unifying characteristics.
