-
today's problem on a global scale
-
is the coexistence between our occidental renunciation of religion and the societies which have yet to recognize such renunciation
-
Not Synced
islam posits as a particular problem because they're our neighbors
-
Not Synced
they possess a particular familiarity of our culture
-
Not Synced
all the while holding a trauma against the occidental presence
-
Not Synced
which poses as a menace against collective identity
-
Not Synced
which led to the resurgence of fundamentalism we see today
-
Not Synced
there is approximitely one billion person who abandoned religion
-
Not Synced
whilst there is another seven billion person whom, in some sort, are forced to live with our abandonment of religion
-
Not Synced
by the means of cultural products which it has led to
-
Not Synced
science, techniques, economic reasoning
-
Not Synced
while living in a primarily different culture
-
Not Synced
which we, to a great extent, can't understand their societies
-
Not Synced
those which we named "third world"
-
Not Synced
and refer to it today as the "south"
-
Not Synced
without understanding the phenomenon of hierarchy
-
Not Synced
yes! they are hierarchal socities
-
Not Synced
just as how our aristocratic societies
-
Not Synced
were during the 17th and 18th century
-
Not Synced
wherein the patronage system between superior and his subordinates who depend on him
-
Not Synced
is still omnipresent
-
Not Synced
westerns have a hard time understanding it
-
Not Synced
despite its necessity
-
Not Synced
we also have to understand the rest of the world
-
Not Synced
based on the history from which we departed
-
Not Synced
and it's no easy task
-
Not Synced
because it leads to a future rife with conflicts
-
Not Synced
are these societies that still haven't detached from religion
-
Not Synced
undergoing an anthropological dynamic which will lead them to leave religion
-
Not Synced
like us or are they going to remain stagnant
-
Not Synced
i believe that it is has in fact embarked on such transition
-
Not Synced
amid very conflicitve conditions
-
Not Synced
because such change arrived from the west
-
Not Synced
this took us... some centuries
-
Not Synced
and a history of conflicts
-
Not Synced
but we did it internally
-
Not Synced
relying on our own means
-
Not Synced
whereas they've received the product of our own abandonment of religion
-
Not Synced
from the outside
-
Not Synced
and they're obliged to adopt it
-
Not Synced
some people could tell us:" you are who you are, and we are who we are"
-
Not Synced
we're not interested in the manner of your thinking and how you manage
-
Not Synced
figure it out on your own
-
Not Synced
no! occidental modernity is a proposition that can't be refused
-
Not Synced
rather, such change is imposed externally
-
Not Synced
leading to a collision with their deeply inherent cultural and civilizational identitites
