The Playboy of the Western World by John Millington is a play that conveys the theme of social conventions in a village in Ireland around the 1900s. I had the pleasure of seeing the play The Playboy of the Western World in the Alley Theatre on October the 9th.

The Playboy of the Western World Critique I was overall extremely impressed with the University of Houston’s production of The Playboy of The Western World. The play and the intention of comedy were both carried out very well by the actors. I felt that I was engaged in the play, seeming like I was actually a part of the performance.

Thanks to the linear time structure of the western world, time is no longer infinite. People of our culture constantly have to stress over rushing to arrive at an appointment on time, turning in an assignment by a particular day, or having a prepared meal on the table at 5 o’clock on the dot. As days are filled with schedules dictated by time, the time itself just seems to slip away. This passing of linear time creates the worry that life is too short and this generates the concern about death,

Greek Accomplishment and Foundation of the Western World Most people today think that our ancestors made up our current cultures and traditions by themselves.

Western culture and policies have shaped the modern world, especially the Middle East, in many ways. Since the sixteenth century, the nations of Western civilization have been the driving wheels of modernization.

In 1978, Edward Said made a critical analysis on the general idea of Orient spread in the Western world. He demonstrated that Orientalism is a way of cultural domination of the West against the East, and therefore it is none other than a product of European ethnocentrism.

The bustling cities of Western Europe, the hyper-efficient sweat shops of central China, and the international military dominance of the United States all showcase the modernization and advancement of a once-uncivilized, undeveloped, and unconnected global community. Social, economic, political, and intellectual progress sowed the seeds of transformation that led to the development of the modern Western world. This modern West that we know today exists solely as the product of centuries of change

The western world was brought to its knees by a three year old. The three year old boy, Alan Kurdi, body was found washed up on the shores of Syria, after the refugee ship he was on with his parents capsized. A beach should be a fun place, filled with toddlers splashing in the water, not where the bodies of innocent children wash up to.
