When a citizen of any country that is located in America or Europe say 'this is west', a question arises. What is West? Where is located? which countries are West?
Ive heard many theories that says, the west start where Europe Start. So maybe it can be in the Ural, and also it start in Pacific Ocean, probably Hawaii.
But All this mentioned region is west? West is a cultural system or an economic system?
Geopolitically west are the countries advanced in technology and in markets nowdays.
But west is a big block?
Ive read during the last days some stuff that say, in East some countries are 'westernized' like Israel, China or Japan.
So West, speaking in terms of geopolitics is not available, only taking into account some characteristics such as economy or politics.
The debate is open.
