The closer communication between different countries has been a conspicuous tendency in recent years, both in economic and cultural aspects. Some people doubt the continually connections will cause vanishing of a country's identities. In my view, the result of international interaction depends on the situation in different nations.
In fact, the international contact is a definitely mutual benefit for countries. Due to the economically motivated, both states and entrepreneurs are interested not only in the domestic market but also in the oversea market. The closer connection opens up huge potential opportunities for business corporation. Besides, the more cultural contacts, the better understanding of other peoples. Cultural communication can alter people's attitude towards another culture and embrace different values, which will promote multi-cultural understanding and even remove cultural barriers.
Admittedly, the cross-national interaction will also impose a negative influence on national identities, especially to those weak countries such as Pacific island countries and some mini countries in Europe and Africa. It seems that in these weak countries, the locals have become more familiar with exotic cultures, which reflects the foreign cultural invasion to some degree. For instance, the mainstream value of teenagers in these countries has been mainly shaped by Hollywood blockbusters instead of their traditional literature or other artistic works.
In my opinion, whether closer global communication will cause demise of national identities rely on different countries. American, as well as Canada and Australia, is marked by their high population mobility, or immigrants, to be more exactly. The culture in these nations is based on other cultures indeed. Therefore, they welcome different countries and it cannot be a problem to them. Also, some countries, like China, India and British, have their own unique ethnic identity and cultural confidence which come from their long history. Global contact will also be acceptable to them, too. Only to the weak countries, the local government should take steps to protect their vulnerable cultures.
In conclusion, the positive and negative influence of global communication really coexists. However, the outcome of closer contact is better or worse is determined by different countries.
不同國家之間更密切的交流一直是近年來引人注目的趨勢,無論是在經濟和文化方面。有些人懷疑不斷連線將導致消失的一個國家的身份。在我看來,國際互動的結果取決於不同國家的情況。
事實上,國際聯絡絕對是一個互利的國家。由於經濟動機,這兩個州和企業家有興趣不僅在國內市場,也在海外市場。更緊密的連線打開了巨大的潛在商業公司的機會。此外,更多的文化聯絡,更好的理解別人。文化交流可以改變人們對另一種文化的態度和接受不同的價值觀,這將促進多元文化的理解,甚至消除文化障礙。
誠然,跨國互動也會施加負面影響國家身份,特別是太平洋島國等經濟疲軟的國家和一些迷你國家在歐洲和非洲。似乎在這些薄弱的國家,當地人已經變得更加熟悉外國文化,這在某種程度上反映了外國文化的入侵。例如,青少年的主流價值在這些國家已經主要由好萊塢大片,而不是傳統的文學或其他藝術作品。
在我看來,更緊密的.全球通訊是否會導致滅亡的國家身份依賴於不同的國家。美國、加拿大和澳大利亞,人口流動性很高,標記或移民,更準確。這些國家的文化是基於其他文化。因此,他們歡迎不同國家和它不能成為一個問題。此外,一些國家,如中國、印度和英國,有自己的獨特的民族認同和文化自信來自其悠久的歷史。全球聯絡也將接受他們。只有疲軟的國家,當地政府應該採取措施來保護他們的弱勢文化。
總之,全球通訊的正面和負面影響並存。然而,緊密聯絡的結果是好還是壞取決於不同的國家。
