Question about culture?

[c=#002673]USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Scandinavia, Spain, Greece, Australia, New Zealand etc. These are all considered to be “western” countries. They all have different cultures BUT they do all share some commonalities between them that define them as “western”. What do you think are some of the qualities that all “western” cultures share?[/c]

Their social/political values stem mainly from classical era democratic values, reborn in the enlightenment.

@Xuan12 I agree. What do you believe are some of those values?

@XenonRush Democracy, for one, in that the people should be participating in their governance at some level. Relatively liberal rights and freedoms, a strong emphasis on the rule of law and political/ethical equality of individuals.
