The terms 'First World,' 'Second World,' 'Third World' and 'Fourth World' nations are critiqued by post-colonial critics because they reinforce the dominant positions of Western cultures populating First World status. This critique includes the literary canon and histories written from the perspective of First World cultures. So, for example, a post-colonial critic might question the works included in 'the canon' because the canon does not contain works by authors outside Western culture. Moreover, the authors included in the canon often reinforce colonial hegemonic ideology, such as Joseph Conrad. Western critics might consider Heart of Darkness an effective critique of colonial behavior. But post-colonial theorists and authors might disagree with this perspective: '.as Chinua Achebe observes, the novel's condemnation of European is based on a definition of Africans as savages: beneath their veneer of civilization, the Europeans are, the novel tells us, as barbaric as the Africans. And indeed, Achebe notes, the novel portrays Africans as a pre-historic mass of frenzied, howling, incomprehensible barbarians.' (Tyson 374-375).вЂњDemocracy, in my view, is an agreement that we will not kill each other over our differences, but instead weвЂ™ll talk through those differences. And part of whatвЂ™s troubling is that IвЂ™m beginning to see signs of the justification for violence,вЂќ says Hunter, noting the insurrection on January 6, when a mob of extremist supporters of Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the results of the 2020 election. They donвЂ™t necessarily lead to a shooting war, but you never have a shooting war without a culture war prior to it, because culture provides the justifications for violence.вЂќ вЂњCulture wars always precede shooting wars. What changed? In the latter half of the 20th century, the culture war was, on some level, a вЂњcultural conflict that took place primarily within the white middle class,вЂќ says Hunter, who now leads the University of VirginiaвЂ™s Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture. But, today, as that conflict has grown, вЂњinstead of just culture wars, thereвЂ™s now a kind of class-culture conflictвЂќ that has moved beyond the simple boundaries of religiosity. вЂњThe earlier culture war really was about secularization, and positions were tied to theologies and justified on the basis of theologies,вЂќ says Hunter. It is a position that is mainly rooted in fear of extinction.вЂќ You rarely see people on the right rooting their positions within a biblical theology or ecclesiastical tradition.
