Uh no, that's the generally accepted definition of 'the west' or 'Western'.
Here you go, from the Oxford dictionary:
western |ˈwɛstərn|
adjective
1 [ attrib. ] situated in the west, or directed toward or facing the west: there will be showers in some western areas.
? (of a wind) blowing from the west.
2 (usu. Western )living in or originating from the west, in particular Europe or the US: Western society.
Don't they teach you even this basic stuff in Korean schools? In the west (that'd be Europe, most of North America, Australia, New Zealand and so on) we learn it in elementary school if not earlier. \
Here's something you don't understand about my argument. In East Asia, the Chinese and Koreans don't call Japanese inventions or technology as "Asian technology" at all. But your media and especially, Americans love to make broad claims that "they" stole western technology. We all know who "they" is, right? I didn't have to even say it but you already knew. See, that's the kind of power the media and preconceived notions have over you.
von Braun is the Father of rocket science and built the Saturn V rocket. When the truth hits you, you run away, don't you?
No, you'd be only half-correct there. He was the father of the Saturn V rocket (he did his first experiments in 1930), but he actually built on the work of Goddard, who was the father of the liquid-fueled rocket (built in 1926).
You should at the very least do a wiki check of basic history before you post silly comments on a public forum. They make you and all the other Korean nationalists look very very ignorant.
No, actually, when I'm faced with ridiculous rantings from rabid nationalists like yourself I either laugh or smack them with the truth until they beg for mercy, or until they slip up and make even more ridiculous (often hysterically funny) comments; it depends on my mood.

You can't accept the facts. You just won't. It's your American pride I guess. Have to be number 1. You betcha!
"The V-2, however, was technically far more advanced than the most successful of the rockets designed and tested by Goddard. The Peenemünde rocket group led by Wernher von Braun may have benefited from the pre-1939 contacts to a limited extent, but had also started from the work of their own space pioneer, Hermann Oberth" (excerpted from Wikipedia.)
I don't even want to go into jet engines and talk about the father of that now... It has to be an American, right? Wrong.

Can we just say that a combination of western science and technologies (that'd be technologies from Europe and the US) got American men to the moon...and that it had Dick Squat to do with Korea? Would that be ok with you; it's fine with me.
While you ponder my suggestion let's play a little game. Look around your apartment in Seoul or wherever it is you live and take away everything that runs on electricity or computers, anything that requires satellites, anything that was ever built on western science at all. You're now the proud owner of some kimchee (although minus the red peppers the Portuguese brought to Korea from South America), some soju (though not distilled and certainly not in a glass bottle or can), and a pile of rubble. Congratulations!

America doesn't manufacture computers, fridges, or electronics in its heartlands anymore. Heard of how America's manufacturing base has been hollowed out? So banish all those made in China products from your home for an "hollowed out" experience. And try enjoying a Merry Christmas without those cheap toys and gadgets made from China. You know them, they've got this white Apple logo plastered on the back.
And putting up the money while taking European technology for your moon project is no different from what China is doing from one industry to another. You won't give up and admit that without von Braun there would be no rocket to the moon. Even when NASA scientists agree with that statement!
And the Soviets sent the first artificial satellite into space. Never heard of Sputnik? Now you're also claiming Soviet technology as your shared western technology? Sad. Sad.

As I recall, you too are the proud owner of many Apple products. Last time I checked Steve Jobs was American and Apple is American. and Ives is British. Apple products and patents are western. Last time I checked Samsung was moving its TV assembly to places like Shuzhou, in China. Westerners don't tend to respect cultures that simply copy what we do, we do respect originality. China assembles our inventions. End of story.
I'm looking around my place and I can't see many Chinese inventions. A couple of products that might have been assembled there, but not many actual inventions. My place is pretty much the same (I don't own a plow, I do have some paper but I generally don't use it at home.) My place is doing ok, I still have my computer, my fridge, my electric lights, my air conditioning, my cell phone, my Internet, my TV, my toilet, my stove, pretty much everything. How's the pile of rubble doing?
Funny how you have to talk about China because you know very well that you can't talk much about Korean inventions that I'd rely on. But even China does't impress me that much actually, there are far more western inventions in a single Boeing 777 than the Chinese invented in their entire history. Pretty amazing when you consider China (like Korea) has all those people and 5000 years of history. America by comparison has far fewer people and is still relatively young nation. Japan is far more impressive than either Korea or China IMHO.

After they attacked Pearl Harbor it must have left a lasting impression in your mind I guess. So you need to be knocked down by some country to be impressed with them? So that's how it works.

It's always western technology. Uh-huh. Jet engine invented by who?

You clearly can't read the English language at anything approaching academic level. Look back at my posts, I keep telling you that western technology means European and American, but you refuse to let that fact enter your brain. It's your Korean Reality-Block (TM) at work. And it seems to working overtime today.
Gotta get back to work. You set 'em up, I'll knock 'em down later. We're loving it!

Yeah, and you keep avoiding the word "American" technology for some reason. Kind of peculiar on how you avoid that word like the plague. I'm lovin' your habitual avoidance of using the words "American technology" like a Big Mac burger. Chomp. Chomp. Delicious!
So if the Swiss invent something it's like, you betcha that's western technology. That's ours! No touch! No touch!
China stole what from the Swiss? Oh, no. It's western technology. We gotta get it back. Call the Swiss. Anyone speak Swiss German, Swiss French, Swiss Italian, or Swiss Romansh? No? Don't call them. We the West but we can't doggone speak to each other. But that's OK. We still the West. Yes, sirree (insert Texan drawl).

I know some native South Koreans who have better English reading comprehension than you do. And you know what, I'm not joking either. If you've lived in South Korea as you claim (though you have these misconceptions about the roads being as wide as LA highways and streets), then you'd agree with me.
Yeah, and you keep avoiding saying "American" technology for some reason. Kind of peculiar on how you avoid that word like the plague.
The airplane is American technology. Apple computers are American technology. Cray supercomputers are American technology. ICBMs are American technology. The vast majority of military hardware your country needs to defend itself is American technology. The cell phone is American technology. The microwave oven is American technology. The very computer you're using right now is American technology. You can thank American technology and Americans and British and Canadians and Indians and Australians and more for saving your country from North Korea in the 1950s. Without American technology you would likely not even be alive, if you were you'd probably be living in a still-feudal Korean agricultural society with an ox and a hanbok, dying of diseases not yet vaccinated by you guessed it, American technology. Nothing wrong with that, I'm just stating fact. It would take me till the end of my days to list every single American invention so I'll just post a very basic list for your perusal.
There are more than 200 pages of American technologyon wikipedia alone, and that's just the very tip of an enormous iceberg.

Nothing wrong with that, I'm just stating fact. It would take me till the end of my days to list every single American invention so I'll just post a very basic list for your perusal.
There are more than 200 pages of American technology on wikipedia alone, and that's just the very tip of an enormous iceberg.

The airplane is American technology. Apple computers are American technology. Cray supercomputers are American technology. ICBMs are American technology. The vast majority of military hardware your country needs to defend itself is American technology. The cell phone is American technology. The microwave oven is American technology. The very computer you're using right now is American technology. You can thank American technology and Americans and British and Canadians and Indians and Australians and more for saving your country from North Korea in the 1950s. Without American technology you would likely not even be alive, if you were you'd probably be living in a still-feudal Korean agricultural society with an ox and a hanbok, dying of diseases not yet vaccinated by you guessed it, American technology.

More shrill chest thumping. But seriously, South Beach Diet is an invention? And without the great American invention, the flashlight, I'll be deprived from the modern trappings of civilization for life?
