It was really interesting to learn modernization about but, I was a bit upset that it is modeled by the west. I do not think that having the west looked at as such a high standing place is a good thing. Don't get me wrong. I just think the idea that where the west or even Americans goes to our heads at times. Look at Neo colonialism with America and Okinawa and the army base. I do not believe that it is the best thing I don't want other nations to want to grow into that. Americans I think would like to believe it is a one way and it uses other countries but in reality it's a two way. America needs the other nations to be different from them. America could never stand to try and deal with another America.
I would really like to see all nations be able to have a sense of self worth. That all nations could be together and have a connection but still respect each others traditions and way of doing things. I believe all nations are working towards what they believe to be the perfect nation but I think we can't push other nations or say they are behind when everyone sees a perfect nation as something different.
I picked the photo above not that I fully agree with the image. I do agree with the idea though that America was strong and had a set goal for what they wanted. Now though we have had this goal and we do not feel that strong about other things we do. We just go in with what we think other nations should do and think we help when we do not really have a passion into helping for it as much as we should. I would really like to see that passion come back for people to what the best for other people. Even if that means not helping at all other then giving support.
