Ordinary people don't know much about the overseas world, they only know Chinatown, but they don't know that Flushing, Queens, is now more concentrated in New York.
The domestic development is rapid, and the foreign country will also change.
One, ordinary people don't know much about the Western world
Ordinary people do not understand the Western world and think that it is one, vague concepts.
In fact, this is not the case, the West is divided into two circles, and both circles have different religious beliefs and legal systems.
One is Protestant, one is Catholic, one is natural law, common law, and the other is civil law, continental law, statutory law.
Protestantism teaches people to create boldly, to discover bravely, to create wealth when they enter the world, and the more people who have wealth, the closer they are to God.
Catholicism teaches obedience, poverty and love. What is the glory and wealth of this world, the glory of heaven is the glory of eternity.
Natural law believes that law is an ancient truth, a combination of truth and reason, a tradition of our ancestors, and that truth exists in ancient times, and we just record and interpret it.
The theoretical basis of natural law comes from the essence and rationality of human beings, and it is a legal system that traces back to its roots, believing that all actions should be judged according to human nature and universal moral standards, and that law cannot be higher than morality, that is, rationality, justice, morality, legitimacy, etc. At the same time, natural law also emphasizes the inherently equal and inviolable rights of human beings, such as the right to life, the right to liberty, and so on.
Civil law, written law, is a legal system enacted and officially declared by a country or government, that is, the law currently in force. It is a law enacted by an authority that covers all areas and regulates people's daily life and behavior.
As you can see, countries that believe in natural law and Protestantism are relatively open and open-minded.
Countries that believe in civil law and Catholicism tend to be relatively conservative and old-fashioned.
But it doesn't mean that civil law countries can't go, like Germany, Western Europe and Northern Europe, are still relatively wealthy, and the academic and technological industries are also very developed, and there are many opportunities to make money.
The former is mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Western countries of the British Commonwealth, such as Australia, Canada, etc.
The latter are basically European countries except the United Kingdom.
Second, France is considered a lofty country
In fact, France is not in the Western world, especially in Anglo-American circles. After the French Revolution, France stinked all over the streets.
Of course, France also has an inclusive side, such as France's inclusion of black and colored refugees, and France is probably one of the most unstable countries in Europe.
Third, whether Russia is a Western country or an Eastern country
Russia has two sides, about half of its territory is east and west, but Russia's psychological identity is definitely that of a Western country.
The West represents science and technology, civilization, and Russia has always aspired to integrate into Western circles.
