Modernisation and Westernisation

Salaam All,
As we can see majority of people they are adopting western culture just to show that they are modern but we have never analyzed about westernization and modernization.
Lets think about westernization what is westernization?
Westernized means To make or become like the people of Europe and America in customs, or like their institutions, practices or ideas.
Now what is modernization?
To switch to more modern methods or techniques.
Its absolutely OK when we talk about institutes and techniques of western countries, as far as that is a part of modernization but that does not mean whatever people of western countries do that is also a part of modernization, because that is their culture and you cannot compare culture with Techniques.
