 Philippine Commentary: Orphans of the Anglosphere
The Anglosphere "created" what one might call the Philippine "noosphere" when, upon the arrival of America on these shores in a war of colonial conquest (which sentimentalists might regard better as a benevolent assimilation, though the birth was bloody), she finally taught the Filipinos a Western language: English.
But in the end, it cannot be denied that the Anglosphere's nodes are individual human beings whatever higher hierarchies of association might be defined.

 Albion's Seedlings
James C. Bennett coined the term "Anglosphere" to describe countries where English is the native language or (as in India) serves as a lingua franca for the well educated.
Bennett argues that the peculiar island history of England produced a set of institutions that other advanced nations in Europe and Asia lacked--the common law, respect for private property, continuous representative government, a culture that nurtures civil society and entrepreneurial enterprise.
It is thus no accident that the Anglosphere has excelled in innovation and economic growth and, Bennett believes, will continue to do so.
