westernizes
Adopts European ways
Westernizes means causes to adopt Western culture, values, or practices.
The word typically refers to the spread of European and American influence—in economics, politics, fashion, or social customs—to non-Western societies: Critics argue that globalization westernizes developing nations at the expense of local traditions.
The process may be imposed, chosen, or gradual.
