Western representation

Western representation refers to the way Western countries—such as the United States, Canada, and European nations—are portrayed and influence global narratives across media, politics, and culture. It shapes perceptions by highlighting particular values, perspectives, and stereotypes associated with the West, often emphasizing ideas like individualism, innovation, and democracy. This portrayal can influence how Western countries are viewed internationally and can also impact how Western societies see themselves. Understanding Western representation helps recognize the cultural biases, power dynamics, and shared values embedded in global communication and decision-making processes.
