  • Civilized world vs uncivlized

    Generally speaking, the self-proclaimed civilized world of the west charges the developing or the undeveloped Muslim world (scrolled by the label of an uncivlized community) as the world that is not fit to be called a positive world community.Given this point of reference, I have to candidly offer my arguments that the very touchstone by which we determine the standard of civilization should not merely be linked to the industrialized, globalized and the materialized means of life.It is an irony that the modern world commmunity is being defined by the afore-said three-dimensioal ways, that is absolutley not correct. A man who uses the computer may be difined as a modern man but he should/may not be defined as civilized, simply because to become a civilized man it is highly important that the conduct/deportment/ behavior/ thought of that man should be in accordance with the norms/moores set by the society. Therefore, a man living in the West or East can equally be civilzed by showing the required standard of civility.Factaully, the Muslim world lacks in education, science, research and developement.Yet to say that Muslims are more uncivilized than those pepole living in the west is a wrong hypothesis.What is the most striking irony of the western world is that despite its having much achievements in science, education and research, it is lacking in filling that moral profile or standard that is required by the dictates of humanity.Sadly,quest for wars but no anxiety fo peace, remains the driving feature of the highminded policy makers in the west-paradoxically a criteria that suits to the most civilized world.
