FAIRY TALES We call western people’s fixed notion or a distorted view toward the East ‘Orientalism,’ which originated from the cultural prejudice in the West, and ‘Occidentalism is a comparative notion which makes a contrast with Orientalism. E. Said formerly criticized that both are nothing but false images that see other cultures from an ethnocentric viewpoint and this tendency has justified the western imperialists’ invasion against the East. From a historical or social point of view, the difference of culture and language has been one of the most important standards that make a distinction between various social classes. Additionally, a war is one of the most significant factors that enable us to grasp the essence of the world history, and the social classes became more differentiated in this ‘weak-to-the-wall kind of society’ caused by the wars. It was the age of imperialism that accelerated this law of the jungle by force in a full scale. H. Spencer’s ‘Social Darwinism’ is nothing other than the ideology that justified imperialism of ‘the law of jungle.’’ This imperialism ultimately brought about Orientalism that the West as a winner will understand the East as a loser from its prejudiced point of view.
