| | Western world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | The term Western is usually associated with the cultural tradition that traces its origins to Greek thought and Christian religion. | | | These two divisions of the Eastern and Western Empires were reflected in the administration of the Christian Church, with Rome and Constantinople debating and arguing over whether either city was the capital of Christianity (see Great Schism). |

| | In this final chapter of MacDonald's trilogy on Jewish evolutionary strategies, he outlines how Jews and Gentiles are ... |
| | 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. | | | Indeed, one might note that, while the Western Enlightenment has presented Judaism with its greatest challenge in all of its long history, contemporary multiculturalism in the context of high levels of immigration of peoples of all racial and ethnic groups presents the greatest challenge to Western universalism in its history. | | | From the standpoint of these leftist critics, the Western ideal of hierarchic harmony and assimilation is perceived as an irrational, romantic, and mystical ideal. |

| | Crimes of Honor and Shame |
| | In most traditional societies, a wife's adultery and a daughter's, sister's or other female family member's premarital sexual activity are viewed as the most serious violations of codes of male and family honor. | | | In a study of Arab Muslim society, those who punish a woman are most often brothers, followed by fathers, and then the fathers' brothers and their sons. | | | In traditional societies crimes of honor were accepted and justified by communities; they were viewed as a needed aspect of the honor culture. |

| | Moreover, some societies do not lump together relatives that the West classifies together (in other words, in some languages there is no word for cousin because mother's sister's children and father's sister's children are referred to in different terms). | | | For example, most kinship terminologies distinguish between sexes (this is the difference between a brother and a sister) and between generation (this is the difference between a child and a parent). | | | 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). |

| | The Centre for Applied Childhood Studies at the University of Huddersfield is a multi-disciplinary research centre, which is involved in a number of child-related projects and has been in existence for just over ten years. | | | 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. | | | 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. |
