17. Actually the topic here is
about other societies living the same way as the western world does...and yes indeed they can. Quite easily.

You brought in the inequality bit...and rather than 'running' from it, I answered it first thing.

We didn't all arrive at the level of democracy or even television together...but that doesn't prevent anyone else from gaining it. Whyever would it?

We'll all get to the same point...it just looks uneven at various times in various cultures.

China had printing presses long before the west. You caught up though.

Globalization, and the world wide organizations that creates, along with modern communications, are evening out the process.
