Chile is, maybe Brazil too to some extent. Christianity influenced a lot of Western culture so there's a similar basis
>>52699373
Most people here are "Catholic", though.

Define western.
I think Latin America is not Western because it doesn't have the strong emphasis on human rights, freedom, and equality of opportunity that Europe and America do.

Colombia has many rights that are non-existant in a lot of First World countries: legal euthanasia, legal adoption for faggots, medical use of cannabis decriminalized, carrying certain amount of drugs for personal use decriminalized, civil unions for faggots, etc.
>>52700191
That's not what I was getting at.
For the typical person in Latin America, those rights are viewed as being given by an authority and thus can be taken away trivially by that authority, but in Western First World countries, those rights are viewed as fundamental.
And Latin America overall lacks rule of law compared to the west.
>>52700577
> those rights are viewed as being given by an authority and thus can be taken away trivially by that authority
wow so Amerifat.
these rights are now laws, protected by the Constitutional court and all the other state institutions. No one in the government can't take them away without facing legal consequences.

no, solo le estaba demostrando al gringordo que ser "occidental" nada tiene que ver con derechos civiles. Yo no cfeo que Colombia sea occidental, es "occidentalizado", es una mezcla de lo tradicional y lo moderno que la enriquece.
>>52703050
Toda Latinoamerica es occidental, solo por que tenemos mucho ADN europeo, la religion cristiana, la lengua latina,etc.
>>52698912
In the cultural, religious, linguistics, and even racial sense....yes.
Economically no.
