What is Western dominance?

Western dominance refers to the political, economic, cultural, and military influence exerted by Western countries, particularly those in North America and Western Europe, over global affairs. This influence has historically shaped international norms, trade practices, and cultural exchanges, often prioritizing Western values and systems. The concept also encompasses the historical context of colonialism and Imperialism, where Western powers expanded their reach, impacting societies around the world. In contemporary discussions, it raises questions about globalization, power dynamics, and the rise of non-Western nations.
