I'm not actually sure 'Western Culture' exists...

I think when people say Western Culture, they actually mean American Culture.

For example, although The Americas and Europe are considered 'Western', the cultures of the two areas are extremely different, even within the countries that comprise those continents.

@SW-User Well, all I can think of is geographical location... But really that all depends which way around the globe you are headed, lol

I expect it's was probably originally in relation to Europe.

Isn't it Istanbul where they say that East meets West? 🤔

@SW-User Oh, well...

An obsession with oil, terrible human rights track record, and a hyper religious attitude that is intolerant of foreigners.

It's got to be Saudi Arabia
