About this Quote

This quote by Silvia Cartwright talks to the power imbalance between the West and the East and developing countries. It suggests that the West has enforced its values, beliefs, and lifestyle on other countries, which has triggered anger and animosity. This is likely due to the truth that the West has had the ability to utilize its financial and political power to affect other countries, while those countries have had little to no say in the matter. This has resulted in a circumstance where the West has been able to determine the terms of engagement, while other nations have actually had to accept them. This has actually caused a great deal of disappointment and anger, as people in the East and developing countries feel that their voices are not being heard or appreciated.
