The word West We use it in our language to refer to various things, while one of its most widespread uses allows us to indicate the west of an area of our planet and account for the cardinal point by which the sun sets.
The West is also used to designate that place of our earth, which in relation to another falls towards the place where the sun sets.
On the other hand, the West is generally called the series of countries that are located in the western part of Europe.
Or failing that, this term is also used to refer to the series of countries that belong to different continents but that are related, linked, because their languages and also their cultures have a shared origin. These nations usually have in the matter politics a democratic organization, practice and spread the religion Apostolic and Roman Catholic, and in the economic question they promote market economy.
Now, it is worth mentioning that also in the West there are nations that do not meet any of the conditions indicated but still due to their
provision geographically they are considered western.Of course, the aforementioned is a characterization rather general but that is true in most cases. Without a doubt this is the job What else we give to this word and for example is that when it is used in this sense, a division of the planet is inevitably made west and East.
Because the opposing concept is that of East, precisely because it designates that point on our horizon where the sun rises and also any part of our planet, which in comparison with another it is closer to the place where the sun rises.
The terms west and sunset are commonly used as synonyms For the word that concerns us and everything that is proper or associated with the West we call it Western.
