The Other: The East in the Acculturation Contexts in Modern Sociological Thought

Abstract

The phenomenon of the different other is considered the social phenomenon that has received the attention of sociology and anthropology because it is one of the secretions of the process of acculturation and communication between different civilizations. Collectivism) because the acculturation and communication of human civilizations with each other does not mean that these civilizations are equal together in terms of the degree of development and growth, but rather that they are different and )differentiated with each other . Civilization) The existence of a different view of the other creates a kind of perceptions and frameworks of thought and ideology that establish stereotypes that enhance the feeling of  we are collective, and that this feeling of collective we are a prerequisite for the existence of the other , who is different in civilization and culture .

The acculturation and the communication between the Western civilization and the Eastern civilizations in the various fields has resulted in a problem based on the fact that there are great differences and differences between the completely different East and the Western civilization . Such a problem was founded by the ancient Greek philosophers from Hippocrates to Plato and Aristotle and supported and adopted by the Roman philosophers and thinkers The Modernism of Motsko. Heckel, Karl Marx, Engler, Wittvogel, and Barnes .

The intellectual output produced by the minds of the ancient Greek philosophers , thinkers and scientists from the era of modernity to the present day about the relationship (we) the West with the other , the East has crystallized a number of impressions , perceptions and peculiarities that contributed to the creation of stereotypes that confirm the genius of Western civilization , its superiority and its ability to control and lead . Eastern civilizations seek to dwarf their role and show their failure and inability to develop and grow, so that these intellectual frameworks and perceptions have taken on the nature of scientific facts that can be rejected or doubted .
