nation and uses the words “living under regimes that rule by fear.” This is true to me about this nation, people their do want to be free but they are suppressed by their government. Mr. Brooks also says Huntington is wrong about his definition of culture, and I agree as well with Mr. Brooks. In Huntington’s essay he really talks about cultural vales and disregards political values. Huntington was saying that cultural values are more important than political values, and I disagree.
