Kony 2012 !

Yeah, I didn't write the rest at first. Sorry.

Westernization is not the goal of the countries themselves, but of western countries, that which Beeeh is speaking of. Western countries are more likely to donate money to countries striving towards western goals or are at least sympathetic to our ends. "Culture" isn't only about food, but similar ideas such as the place of women, religion, sexual orientation, law, etc.

Westernized is a completely, 100% legit term to use in Political Science. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Civilizations_map.png

I didnt say it wasnt an accepted term in american universities I said we shouldnt use it as a goal for developing countries or as a synonym for liberal democracy.
