Civilisation, as you rightly point out,has many parents in many parts of the globe. I had to look up chauvinism as I traditionally associated it with male/female dominate. Now I understand the term, I feel the problem is that we use it in a perceived civilisation terms. So trump uses it to demonise the Islamic civilisation. His time will pass too. We have achieved what we have achieved Globally, across rhe centuries. Not chauvinistically western. However, trump and the self - absorbed "west" may yet preside over the end of times through mismanagement of the planet. A civilisation will survive though and it will be more altruistic than chauvinistic.g23https://www.blogger.com/profile/16975038800925377106noreply@blogger.com
