Analyze and interpret the
following quotation: “The confrontation of Western civilization with other
peoples whose values were often dramatically opposed to the West’s…suggests
that by the dawn of the twentieth century, the tradition and sense of centeredness
that had defined indigenous cultures for hundreds, even thousands, of years was
either threatened or in the process of being destroyed. Worldwide, non-Western
cultures suddenly found that they were defined as outposts of new colonial
empires developed by Europeans, resulting in the weakening of traditional cultural
practices, political leadership, and social systems that had been in place for
centuries.” (Sayre, 2013, pp. 410-411).
