Euro concentration
Inverted map of the world: it is non-centric. At most places it is said that democracy is the responsibility of European culture. In other cultures, democracy is found long ago - this is written in some letters in small letters. The rights of the Turks on Castrinetia pushed the Eurocentricity a lot.
Eurocentrism is a biased ideology in which Europe is considered as the birthplace of all good things and everything is tried to be seen from the perspective of Europe.
introduction
In the form of an idea, sources of urology tendencies can be seen in the Renaissance period (Rinasan). In Renaissance, the art and philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome was recognized as the main source of knowledge. In this period, the idea of Europe's superiority was formulated in a different way. Gradually, the 'Europe-centric' approach emerged as the attitude of analyzing and analyzing the rest of the world based on colonial insistence, assuming that Europe and European cultural prejudices are natural, natural and universal. Since the second world war in the twentieth century, critics of capitalism and imperialism began to see uroculturalism as an ideology. Before the seventies, the word was not found in the Oxford dictionary. But in the eighties, the Marxist writings of Sameer Amin changed it into a concept that is often used in the intellectual world. Ironically, this term coined by Marxist scholars is also used to criticize Marx's writings. There is no shortage of Marks to contract Euroscentric. Although it is difficult to find a co-existence of European superiority in the writing of Marx, critics say that his understanding of world-history was based on the European experience, and that the future of humanity is entirely in the mirror of the European model
From 1851 onwards, keeping Greenwich, London in the center of Longitudy Meridian of the world's maps is only a fact of Euroculturalism that the entire world has embraced without any cultural objection. Mercator Atlas is considered a notable example of uroculturalism under postcolonial studies. The temperate zone of Europe has been shown to be larger than the other regions in this Atlas. The map of the world in this atlas is not depicted with objective lines displaying different continents. The space in the map has been ideologically refined and it has been helped with the text and other pictures given along with the map. As a result, this map establishes Europe in the center of the world's spatial and cultural implications.
Eduard Saeed's work 'Orientalism' has been investigated closely by urology. Saeed says that this idea not only influences other cultures to make them like them, but imposes the domination of the West on them by placing them on a special place within the scope of their experience. According to Saeed, since the time of Enlightenment, the European culture has developed a systematic discipline with the tools from which it manufactures the former world.
Eurocality has also reinforced through the study of literature, history-writing and anthropology. In the field of literature, its advocates fiercely launched the project to establish their perceptions as universal of literature. Written from the perspective of the winners in history. In the world of anthropology, Euroclarya infiltrated as a pro-rationalist and described non-European cultures as 'primitive' in spite of European civilization standards. Some culture-reviewers have the belief that if the euro-centric thought was not already established, then the early forms of anthropology could not establish a close relationship with colonialism. In the educational activities run by the missionaries for the promotion of Christianity, there is a trend of confirming uroculturalism. For all these reasons, non-European societies have made Urocultural relevance in the process of modernization so that the idea of treating everything that comes from the west superior to all important areas such as science, industry, mathematics, arts, entertainment and culture. Has almost always been dominated. Even those who are vigilant towards uroclinism are ultimately found to be in sync with him.
From a historical perspective, the idea of European superiority was strengthened along with European imperialism in the fifteenth century. The scientific revolution, the commercial revolution and the expansion of colonial empires, express themselves as the rise of the modern era. It is considered to be a period of 'European miracle', before which Europe could not afford Turkey's Autonocomponent, economically and technically, against the Mughal empire of India and the Ming Dynasty of China. This concept reached its peak, with the second wave of the industrial revolution of the 18th and nineteenth century and the European colonization. The European powers marched on business and politics in the world. On the basis of progressivism and industrialism, those who considered the rapidly evolving European civilization as the universal center of the world, made disparaging remarks about societies based on chevy, farming and animal husbandry. In the eighteenth century only European writers could be found to be compared to Europe and other continents of the world, saying that Europe is less sure than others in the geographic area, but its condition is very different for various reasons. After this, this special situation was defined by arguments of European masterpieces, nobility, science and art, and its greatness. A question about uroculturalism is also raised whether this tendency is not only a kind of racism in other parts of the world? Chinese and Japanese also have the forerunner of cultural superiority. Claims of 'American Century' are also a specimen of racism. But as soon as uroculturalism is seen in the perspective of colonialism, this idea seems to look like a distinct structure different from general consanguinity. The beginning of decay in the credibility of uroculturalism also took place through the epoch-making process of anti-colonial movements and after World War II, the era of colonization took place. Nationalist claims of local traditions and values made by the movements of independence challenged Western cultural ego. In the central and southern parts of India and the American continent, this new creation was created with the purpose and new cultural assimments were fabricated. Due to uroculturalism, colors were painted in multi-centric photos of world-civilization. Worldwide reputation for views of Eastern celebrities like Ravindra Nath Thakur and civilizational criticism of Gandhi-given West also played a significant role in pushing uroculturalism from the stage.
