Superior is kind of a subjective term.

To everyone living in the Western world, i'm sure they would say our way of life is superior. And in many cases this is true Re: human rights, freedoms etc.

However, i'm sure that if you were to ask different tribes, more specifically, those who aren't "trying" to be like the west, they would say they are perfectly happy, and I may argue that these people may be superior to the west because they have no concept of a globalized interconnected society. They are simplicity at its finest, and really, what else do you need?

Does an economy or military make a nation superior? In this world it does, so in that context, and in the context of this question, yes.

But for localized economies that are self sufficient, I have quite an admiration for those people. I guess they really have no choice, but North America and Europe could disappear tomorrow and it wouldn't affect them one bit.
