Q3104781
Gharbzadegi () or Occidentosis is a Persian-origin term translated among other ways as 'Westoxification' or 'West-struck-ness'. The concept describes an unquestioned imitation by Eastern cultures of Western appearance, behavior (particularly consumerism and materialism), modes of reasoning and expression with an insufficient intellectual understanding thereof. This would lead to the ruling classes reasoning and behaving in a way that is inconsistent with the environment they live in, and attempting to apply Western solutions to Eastern problems.
