Conflict, Integration, and Promotion
Hello,everyone!
Can you find someone to call with iPhone or watching Japanese Anime around you?It isunbelievable to do these things when your parents were young, but more and more Chinese young people are attracted to foreign cultures now.So what should we do when we face the cultural diversity? Keep compatible with foreign cultures? Or stay out of cultural integration? Okay, let’sdiscu it in detail.
If you have aniPhone, you can download many great applications from AppStore so that you can enjoy the artisticcreation and advanced technology from excellent American programmers.And if you like watching Japanese Anime, you will find many good stories created from the history of Japan.As for the phenomenon we just mentioned, there is no doubt that it will improve the quality of life for everyone in modern society, and will promote the Culture Exchange from different countries.There is a common question, why do we learn English? You know, many countries take English as their official language.We only are able to communicate with them in English to know the difference from each other, then we just know that who they are and who we are.Above all, we know what we should do to get along with other countries so that our country will have a grand prestigein the world.
But many people think that most Chinese people are more and more attracted to foreign cultures so that it may make them forget the Chinese traditional culture and be controlled by foreign cultures.The key isthatthere are many unhealthy foreign cultures will be bad to the growth of Chineseyoungsters, because these cultures generally contain violent and erotic contents.Then, they think if this phenomenon last longer, it will make more and more Chinese youngsters only remember who they are but forget who we are.If all Chinese people are like this, the China will cease to exist.They think it’s very dangerous for each country, so some people who think in this way isalso correct from this perspective.
This is the conflict between Chinese traditional culture and foreign cultures.So how can we face the conflict? When foreign cultures come to china, it’s easy to make some people feel frightened and completely boycott foreign culturesno matterthey are good or bad.But when we find the advantages of some foreign cultures, we will accept them gradually and develop some creation based on these foreign cultures.For instance,popular music was bought in China from America at 90’s.At that time, most people thoughtit was a strange musical mode and did not match Chinese tradition so that many people boycotted it, but many people found it was easy to sing and some other advantages gradually.Then popular music spread very fast in China and integrated with traditional music to create some new musical modes like as Jay Zhou’s “China Wind”, which was spoken highly of by most Chinese people.This phenomenon indicates that culture integration makes a promotion for our own cultural development.But we only need to integrate the excellent foreign cultures into our traditionalculture;the junk foreign cultures must be abandoned.I think culture integration is very important for each country like China.Just as the topic of my lecture says, conflict leads to integration and integration leads to promotion.
Thank you!
