Q3104781
Gharbzadegi () or Occidentosis is a Persian-origin term translated among other ways as 'Westoxification' or 'West-struck-ness'.

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.
