	IslamOnline.net- European Muslims - Politics & Citizenship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The true loyal citizenship is a critical loyalty that means to refuse to have to permanently prove one's belonging to the society in full knowledge of one's responsibilities as citizen, lay claim to one's rights, and carry out a thorough critique of government policies when these policies betray the ideals of a democratic society.
		Confident in convictions, frank and rigorous in their critical outlook, armed with a broader understanding of Western societies, of their values, their history and their aspirations, they are ideally placed to engage their fellow citizens in reconciling these societies with their own ideals.
		These societies have changed, and the teaching of history must change apace: It must include the multiplicity of these experiences; it must even speak of the dark periods of history, those of which new citizens of the West have often been the original victims.

	Western world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally defined as Western Europe, most modern uses of the term refer to the societies of Western and Central Europe and their close genealogical, linguistic, and philosophical colonial descendants, typically included are those countries whose ethnic identity and dominant culture are derived from European culture.
		Western society may be thought of as following an evolution that began with the philosophers of Athens such as Solon and Socrates.
		As the eastern and western churches spread their influence, the line between "East" and "West" can be described as moving, but generally followed a cultural divide that was defined by the existence of the Byzantine empire and the fluctuating power and influence of the church in Rome.

	Family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In societies with a sexual division of labor, marriage, and the resulting relationship between a husband and wife, is necessary for the formation of an economically productive household.
		For example, in some societies there are many different people that one would call "mother" (the woman of whom one was born, as well as her sister and husband's sister, and also one's father's sister).
		Societies in different parts of the world and using different languages may share the same basic terminology; in such cases it is very easy to translate the kinship terms of one language into another, although connatations may vary.

		Thus the term "Western" came to encompass nations and former colonies such as the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. populated mostly by immigrants from Europe and their descendants.
		One should distinguish "Western society" from the socio-economic term "first world" in that, for example, South America is sometimes mentioned as a Western society, but much of it is poor.
		Western countries have in common a high (relative) standard of living for most citizens - compared to the rest of the world.

	Cultural Confrontation and Compromise: The Response of Non-Western Societies to Western Political Ideas - Ho-Ill Lee
		The diffusion of Western culture throughout much of the contemporary world and its subsequent retreat should be understood as being caused by the change in the relative power of the West.
		Thus an examination of similarities and dissimilarities between Western and non-Western cultures is indispensable for the study of non-Western societies' responses to Western cultures.
		Western cultures have had such a great appeal to many non-Western societies that these societies have tried to import Western cultures, whether Western cultures are compatible with their own cultures or not.

		The effort to overcome these inclinations thus necessitates applying to Western societies a massive "therapeutic" intervention in which manifestations of majoritarian ethnocentrism are combated at several levels, but first and foremost by promoting the ideology that such manifestations are an indication of psychopathology and a cause for ostracism, shame, psychiatric intervention, and counseling.
		Multicultural societies with their consequent fragmentation and chronic ethnic tension are unlikely to meet Jewish needs in the long run even if they do ultimately subvert the demographic and cultural dominance of the peoples of European origin in lands where they have been dominant.
		Western political forms from the democratic and republican traditions of ancient Greece and Rome to the hierarchic harmony of the Western Middle Ages and to modern democratic and republican governments assume the legitimacy of a pluralism of individual interests.

		In smaller societies in which people merely fell into categories of age, gender, household, and descent group, anthropologists believed that people more or less shared the same set of values and conventions.
		In larger societies in which people undergo further categorisation by region, race, ethnicity, and class, they believed that members of the same society often had highly contrasting values and conventions.
		Since subcultures reflect the position of a segment of society vis a vis other segments and the society as a whole, they often reveal processes of domination and resistance.

	Crimes of Honor and Shame
		In contrast to traditional societies where the type of patriarchy is what Scharabi (1988) calls neo-patriarchy, the responsibility of control in modern Western countries shifts from male members of a woman's biological family to her male intimate partner.
		In fact, it is the combination of individualism, patriarchal societies and the privacy of the home, that Western feminists and those involved with the study of domestic violence have long argued kept the extent of such violence hidden in modern Western societies.
		Within Western societies with the emphasis on individualism and privacy, the shame referent may rest only in a learned memory or belief system that males are dominant and females are submissive and must be controlled.

		White Anglo-Saxons may (however improbably) trace their "Western origins" back to the Ancient Greeks -- who actually belonged to a Mediterranean civilisational bloc, which was even then in close and constant contact with other civilisational blocs in east Africa and south and east Asia.
		Define "Western." It is not race, God forbid, though there are still a great many people in "Western societies" -- not least in Mr Berlusconi's government -- who would argue otherwise.
		But here is the rub: Western values, it is widely accepted by almost everybody (including both Berlusconi and Bin Laden), entail such things as democracy and human rights, the emancipation and equality of women, secularism, reason and tolerance.

		Research agendas in Western and non-Western societies have been driven by the different perspectives on successful aging and perhaps explain why most of the aging research done in non-Western societies is on social support, which falls under the sociological dimension rather than under the functional dimension.
		In Western societies where mandatory retirement age still exists, the decision to retire from all paid employment (either full-time or part-time), is largely personal and is influenced by an individual's health status and/or pensions/social security entitlements.
		In Western society, the individual actively has to seek the opportunity to remain mentally active, especially if he or she is retired.

		It is also a failure of society to reject and condemn the brutalization and intimidation of women at the hands of family members.
		In societies where women’s rights are weak, their vulnerability to violence is compounded by a lack of options to seek protection from the law.
		And in societies where gender and family relations are derived from religious law, if jurists interpret and apply the law to sanction violence for specific purposes or under certain circumstances, demands for protections and greater rights for women can be condemned as heresy or apostasy.

	Nigel Parton - The challenge of child abuse in late modern societies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The central argument of this paper will be that it is important to locate these developments in the context of important social changes being experienced by all late modern Western societies.
		The central focus of the paper will be to outline and critically discuss some of these key social changes and how they have impacted on the way we conceive of and respond to the issue of child abuse.
		In the context of these important changes in social and cultural experiences, it will be argued that concerns about the child, and in particular childhood vulnerabilities, have taken on an increased significance and therefore pose major problems for those who have devolved to them the responsibility for trying to do something about it.
