User blog:Snow pea lover 100/East versus West

I live in a "Western" country despite it being located further East than most Eastern Countries, which makes me think, what countries are Western and what ones aren't?

For example, is Russia Western? How about Poland or Slovenia?

In Latin America, despite being located in the western hemisphere and having Some Predominantly White Countries, it is usually not considered Western (at least not in the English-speaking world), though Argentina may be an exception to that.

So questions:

1. Would you consider Russia as being Western?

2. Would you consider Poland as being Western?

3. Would you consider Argentina as being Western?

4. Would you consider Israel as being Western? (or if you are uncomfortable with that question, then skip it)

5. Are any Latin American countries Western in your opinion?

6. Are any Slavic countries Western in your opinion?

7. Are any former-Eastern bloc countries Western in your opinion?
