Western Civ 

the class that most everyone takes at a liberal arts college comprised of history and literature from the classical Greeks until the present. time is devoted to the study of the rise and fall of Rome, Christianity, ancient philosophy, and great works in writing. tests are hour plus long affairs of writing in blue books amounts to nothing more than a very expensive and work intensive way of in essence hitting oneself with a hammer repeatedly for 2 semesters. serves little more than to keep history and lit teachers off the streets peddling crack. overall if you want the civ experience, go suck off a horse and pay him for 6 credit hours to do so. then you'll know.

this is the third all nighter for Western Civ this semester, pass the Adderall and Ritalin and shoot me now.

we get to start dante's Divine Comedy in Western Civ this week...FML

yea i hate Western Civ, but at least it keeps my prof in the classroom and not up at the corner turning 10 dollar tricks to support himself.

Western Civilization 

Western Civilization, also known as “The West”, “Western Culture”, “Western Society”, is the Social Norms, Ethical Values (Humanism), Customs, Culture, Traditions, Political Systems, Law, Artifacts, Sciences, and Technologies that have originated and/or are associated with Europe stemming from the societal foundations of Ancient Greece, Rome, & Judea.

Western Civilization is not limited to Europe, as it also includes The Americas & Australasia. Elements of Western Philosophy can be found beyond the West.

The West originates from Ancient Greece where the arts, sciences, and societies flourished with the birth of Liberty, Freedom, & Democracy. Western Civilization continued to grow and develop throughout Ancient Rome and the Byzantine Empire, gaining strong and significant influences & philosophy from Judaea-Christianity, and later flourished again during The Age of Enlightenment— leading to rapid advancement of education, sciences, & freedoms.

During the early modern era of the 1900’s, Western Civilization was nearly destroyed by & overcame the oppressive rise of Fascism, Nazism, and Communism in WW2 .

The West enjoys the highest degree of broad Freedoms, Liberties, Human Rights, Wealth, Peace, Free Markets, Quality of Life, Healthcare, Education, Sciences, & Technologies in the world.
Today, Western Civilization & Western Philosophies thrive & develop around the world & The West itself, & many other countries as well such as India (World’s largest democracy).

The philosophies of Western Civilization, where adopted, have transformed third-world impoverished societies into thriving states; (ex: In less than 50 years, South Korea transformed from a war-torn impoverished nation into one of the most technologically advanced nations on Earth with one of the highest qualities of life while preserving and promoting Korean Culture— in contrast to North Korea, which remains an impoverished totalitarian state under Communism.)

Examples of Western Philosophy include:

The Old and New Testment

The Magna Carta

The US Bill of Rights

The US Declaration of Independence

The French Declaration of Rights of the Man and of the Citizen

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

“ We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men (People obviously) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are LIFE, LIBERTY and the pursuit of HAPPINESS.” - Jefferson

“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is thought in the law and the prophets.” - Jesus Christ

“There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.”- Socrates

“Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.” - John Lock
“What do I think of Western Civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.” -Mahatma Ghandi

“Learning never exhausts the mind”

“The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding” - Leonardo da Vinci

Decline of Western Civilization 

1. A rare and sometimes pricey documentary based on punk bands from the West Coast scene of the early 1980s.

2. A film with rare footage of bands such as the Germs, X, Fear, Catholic Discipline, Black Flag, The Alice Bag Band, and Circle Jerks.

3. Penelope Spheeris's footage of the early West Coast punk scene which ranges from obscure bands to better known bands of the scene of the time. Her work on the film shows the raw, gritty, and visceral era of punk rock. Interviews are conducted with fans who experienced the movement when it was something to be proud of. A film void of the big three of punk (Ramones, Clash, and Sex Pistols).

4. A must have for any person that has an interest in the old school punk scene.

Hey Frank, did you see the Decline of Western Civilization? I paid fifty bucks for my bootleg copy, but the footage was well worth it. It provided me with alot of great footage, interviews, and interesting facts of what the scene used to be like.

Western Civilization 

In the US, 1930s invention of good whites and an apparent common culture excluding non-whites and bad whites (i.e. Nazis). Used to rally white saviour complex to lead world and also fight Nazis who threatened Anglo dominance and business interests. Taught in universities as foundation for everything that's good in modernity.

We must protect Western Civilization (i.e. white male capitalist normativity) from those feminists and third world intellectuals...and of course the commies who want to 'share the wealth'.
