I was just reading a religion thread. Somebody was disheartened by "Armenian Atheists" and attributed it to the product of Westernization. I understood that Armenians are staunchly Orthodox/Apostilic Christian and that they equate it with being Armenian.
But the question is, do Armenians generally feel threatened by westernization? Or do they generally embrace it? I know there are a lot of mixed views, so go ahead an spill your minds.
I'm sure the typical concerns are the dilution of the culture and immoralization (consumerism, materialism etc..)
So I guess if people want to reply, firstly, i think people should define what westernization is to them, how do they interpret it. And what are the concerns you have or the outcomes of it do you see. In the long wrong, will aid or detriment the Armenian people?
(I'm gonna start another thread, what role should the church play in armenian politics/government, society, issues about secularism etc...)
