Aspects Of Western Civilization
I disagree with some of the ideas presented in “Aspects of Western civilization.” Perry Rodgers, the author, gives a magnificent account of historical events in the book.

Recent studies and research show that the most developed economies in the world are those that give equal chance to both men and women. Perfect examples are the United States of America, Germany, Russia and China. On the other hand, those that have marginalized women continue to perform averagely if not poorly economically. Perfect cases in point are most African countries such as Uganda, Tanzania to mention a
