Please read blaut"s chapters 2 & 3 and chapters 1 and 2 of the broken spears book. The orient express & the european miracle - two common western misconceptions. The orient express: things and ideas came from the middle east but then europe took those ideas and made them better. A view that civilization started in the middle east but was then vastly improved by europeans and then used colonization to spread this civilization to the rest of the world. The european miracle: the myth that all good things came out of europe. There were many forms that this myth took place; in regards to liberalism, rationality, and technological superiority. Blaut believes that the european miracle perspectives are wrong. Basically europe is more advanced/ better than other parts of the world.
