The Seriousness of OrientalismIn Orientalism, Edward Said outlines the innumerable aspects of the term "orientalism", as well as its roots, the main philosophies and arguments behind it, as well as than the influence of orientalism. had on relations between the West and the East. Several reasons, notably political, economic, moral and cultural, justify the necessity of the conquest of the Orient. Said's concept of Orientalism analyzes the concepts that provide the political, economic, and cultural motivations for the imperialist actions of more powerful nations like the United States and Europe. I think Edward Said's concept of Orientalism asks us to question whether or not the global West is motivated by selfish ideas that inspire foreign involvement in the affairs of sovereign nations and thus the spread of ideologies. Western cultures towards independent cultures. Orientalism in Said's reading is primarily about power and knowledge. Western hegemony as implied by Said reinforces the concept of orientalism since the West is politically, culturally and economically superior and warrants the incentive they need to maintain control. Said asks us to think about whether intervention by force is a more effective and efficient way to change a country, or whether there might be more peaceful ways in which the West could help countries of the Orient to conduct their own autonomous government in a way that is vital not only to our philosophies about how the West creates representations and images of the Orient, but also to the way in which the dogma of Orientalism is represented through art and literature in order to represent the idea of ​​the Orient. inferiority. My argument is that the concept of orientalism is a Western misconception...... middle of paper...... t. Misinformation and prejudice are various results of popular culture's depiction of foreign cultures. Yet when discussing the origins and impact of Orientalism, the concept continues to be reinforced by the fashionable age of technology. The illustration of the Orient is currently seen on television, in cinema and on the World Wide Web. These representations of the Orient come in many condensed forms, simpler and more effective than before. The concept of Orientalism is a mirror created by Europe and reflecting itself. The Orientalist described himself by defining the Oriental and this helped him to be superior. The representation of the Orient through arts and literature reinforces the thinking of Orientalism, and although people in general write their own history, I feel that this distorts the facts and gives rise to misconceptions on the Orient..
