Western civilization involves the progressive revolution of the western culture. The western culture covers such aspects as societal norms, religious beliefs, and political ideologies. Every society has its heritage of societal norms which keep changing with time. In addition, religious and political issues also change with time so that a society can be at pace with the prevailing global trends. A Society discards practices which it may consider outdated or retrogressive in the current generation. In reference to politics, elements of democracy and freedom act as indicators of western civilization. Achieving civilization calls for the effort of various scholars who should take the lead in helping the state to achieve its goals. Western civilization is also defined by the existence of political pluralism, powerful subcultures and increased cultural syncretism as a result of globalization and human movement (Jones 71). Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson is one of the top scholars who brought about western civilizati
on through his political and social ideas. He was an exceptional and powerful nonconformist leader who never followed the old way of doing things but instead developed his own solutions to problems that he faced. While serving in the navy he rapidly rose through the ranks and developed a good reputation due to his outstanding services. He was an exceptionally powerful nonconformist leader who never followed the old way of doing things but instead developed his own solutions to problems that he faced. He was a highly respected leader, a person who was able to empathize with the requirements of his fellow men. His work of civilization was based on love and concern rather than authority and command and this inspired his fellow men in the navigation and shipping sector (Adkin 56). His social and political influence earned him a lot of respect even from those who held senior positions than him. The essay explores the contributions of Admiral Horatio Nelson to western civilization through his exceptional services.
