Cowboy culture inheritance
Western heritage refers to the cultural, intellectual, and political traditions originating in Europe and extending to societies shaped by European influence, particularly in North America and Australia.
This includes classical Greek and Roman philosophy, Judeo-Christian religious traditions, Enlightenment ideals, democratic governance, and artistic movements from the Renaissance onward.
The term often appears in educational and political contexts, sometimes controversially, when debating what should be taught or preserved.
The curriculum emphasizes western heritage through courses on ancient philosophy and constitutional history.
