"We ARE Euro-centric."
The problem with your statements is that they do not take into account the cultural history of EUROPE! Yes, we should learn our own history. An ACCURATE version...
In my experience as a professor, it's those who cheerlead the loudest for "Western Civ" who fail to see its historical antecedents. Western Civilization did not fall intact out of the heavens but is the product of 1)cross pollination and 2) outright assimilation of and with other cultures, including the ancient Neat East, Egypt, and arguably, the sub continent.
You assume that I don't know what has fed into Western Civ? Bad assumption. But now that that stuff IS part of Western Civ, then you can discuss it within the context of WC. The other thing is -- all cultures are NOT equal. You seem to weigh them all equally, give equal time to all. You must look at the fruits, the output of each culture. Western Civ stands head and shoulders above the others. The problem with the Universities is INTELLECTUAL PRIDE. Blowing theories has so little to do with real life, and teaching the theories is not only irrelevant to real life but a snake-oil-sales-job to your clients. IMHO. Many advanced degrees at this home, by the way, so this is NOT from the outside looking in.
