Modernity stands as one of the most contentious paradigms in our intellectual history. It refers to any emergence in all ages. For example, Romanization was considered modernity in its time against its precedent Greek civilization or the Celtic cultures. However, the most commonly referenced concept today is what is known as post-structuralist modernity. This conscious approach confronts the roots and substance of the structural elements of others' identities as (post-)postcolonial structuralism. This dialectic extends beyond the Arab or Islamic world, weaving through Japan's narrative since the pivotal Kyoto Conference of 1933 and the transformative Meiji era and echoing in the aftermath of the Second World War (Harootunian, 2000). Compassionate is the (post)structuralist narrative of Western colonialism during the Cold War, aiming to supersede Eastern structuralism and indigenous nativist cultural elements, a confluence underscored by (Alnasir, 2023). However, this paper adopts a holistic theoretical approach to what was once conceptualized as an East-West dynamic and is now reframed as a North-South value clash. The projection of Western-Northern ideals is being confronted with the resistance of the Eastern-Southern ethos, resulting in an intrinsic clash and cognitive dissonance. This proposal emphasizes the importance of a nuanced theoretical approach and advocates for a sustained commitment within the academic community towards such interdisciplinary endeavours. The approach adopts psycho-social contributions (Heine et al., 1999) in conciliation with inter-group dynamic perspectives that attempt to show a substantive cognitive incoherence in Western-Northern and East-Southern approaches, where universal (Western-Northern) values enter into a substantive confrontation with the dilemma of local ethical independence and ethical sovereignty.
