Westernization has been constant and accelerated in recent centuries throughout the world, linked to the processes of colonialism and neocolonialism. Sometimes the term modernization is used as a synonym of Westernization (for example when an agricultural society is transformed into an industrial society).

Westernization is related to the process of acculturation which refers to the change that occurs within a society or culture when two different social groups enter into continuous contact. With this contact, cultural patterns change in both cultures. In a simplistic way, it can be said that westernization has to do with western expansion and colonialism towards indigenous, native or non-western societies.
