DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EAST AND WEST.







First of all, read about so-called Byzantinism (as a behavior and menthal phenomenon which was closer to asian than western menthality.

Read about Byzantinism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantinism


It is not a secret in history, that countries civilizations are/were not in the same level of development.

It is well-known that Western and Central Europe, ( the so-called Western civilization) was always more developed than Orthodox or Eastern European civilization.


The cultural the societal-system and the economical civilizational (technological) differences between Orthodox countries and Western Christian (Catholic-Protestant) countries were similar great, as the differences between Northern America (USA Canada) and Southern- (Latino) America.

The Byzantine Empire became a decadent civilisation from the 9th century. After the 9th century, there weren't inventions , the fine-arts and the structure of the society stiffed ,similar to their technology. Only city of constantinople had industry, but all provincial towns and cities of the Bz. Empire remained totally agricultural and therefore backward which caused significant economic decline from 9-15th century. The biggest city of Europe was Constantinaple until the end of the 11th century. By the 13th century there were 3 bigger Western European cities, and by the early 14th century there were 9 huge Western European cities which were bigger than Constantinople. From the end of the 12th century in Western Europe, there were more than 12 large gothic cathedrals which were bigger (in all dimensions) than "legendary" Hagia Sophia in Constantinalple, and they were brighter and much more complicated buildings. The lack of economic power determined the possibilities of Constantinople to civilize the distant non-greek Orthodox territories.



MEMENTO:
Western things which were not existed in orthodox world:

Medieval appearance of parliaments (the dietal-system), self-government status of big royal/imperial cities, medieval appearance of banking systems and social effects and status of urban bourgeoisie, medieval appearance of universities and the medieval appearance of secular intellectuals, Philosophy: Scholasticism and humanist philosophy,the knight-culture and the effects of crusades in the Holy Land, medieval usage of Latin alphabet and medieval spread of movable type printing, The medieval western theatre: Mystery or cycle plays and morality passion plays, The architecture and fine-arts: Romanesque Gothic and Renaissance styles.

The Orthodox church wanted to preserve its exclusivity in all sphere of cultural and intellectual life. Therefore secular intellectuals did not existed in orthodox world until the 18th century (in Russian Empire) and until the 19th century in Balkanian territories.



There are 4 main historic development levels for every counry.

1. nomad half-nomad (sepherd the majority) 2. feudal- (agricultural) 3.industrial 4.post-industrial.

All Western-Christian states arrived to the 2. development level (feudal-agricultural) from year 600 to 1000AD. In Balkanian Orthodox countries (except Greeks) most people lived pastoral sepherd lifestyle in the balkanian mountains until the 14th (!!!) century. In romanian territories the half-nomad sepherd lifestyle remained more important than (the more civilized) agricultural lifestyle until the the 16th century.



About Byzantine Empire:
(The only really civilized part of Orthodox world)

Byzantine Empire became a decadent civilisation from the 9th century. After the 9th century, there weren't inventions , the fine-arts and the structure of the society stiffed ,similar to their technology. Only city of constantinople had industry, but all provincial towns and cities of the Bz.

The lack of economic power determined the possibilities of Constantinople to civilize the distant non-greek Orthodox folks and territories.

Have you ever read books about the history and developments of fine arts and architecture? Don't forget that the successor of the true Byzantine fine arts and architecture is the Middle-Eastern Islamic World. But the motive of russian onion-domes appeared foremost in Islamic parts of India. In the Orthodox Balkanian countries (Serbia Romanians Bulgaria etc...),the average common people wore Kaftans (clothes from Islamic world) and primitive sandals (instead of shoes) until the 1860's.

Meh, okay, I will begin.

Hair styles in the Balkans:



See?

That's not the typical Balkan hairstyle. Maybe in Bulgaria, but I wouldn't say the whole Balkans.

[Shkembe Chorba]

Definately not in Greece. I think is something similar in Serbia and Macedonia too. Do you have typical hairstyle in Albania?
