Globalization and culture -Liyang

 With the globalization of economy and the development of cultural exchanges, conflicts between different cultures are colliding more and more. Under the impact of the globalization tide, the cultural environment in which people live is hard to be a homogeneous homogenous culture, or remain pure. Traditional Culture. The metabolism of culture and hegemonic behavior will intensify, and the result must be to unite in the opposite, to achieve integration through conflict, to achieve diversified harmonious coexistence and balance. Therefore, as an important content and expression of globalization, cultural integration is an all-round, three-dimensional integration, which is the complementary coexistence and overall harmony between different cultures.

There are two different attitudes towards the global understanding of culture: one believes that everything should be abandoned to seek cultural global identity; the other believes that it should resist the global cultural convergence with its own traditional cultural characteristics. tendency.

1. The performance of globalization on culture:

Globalization is the trend of the times, and the world culture is thus showing a trend of deepening integration. Various civilizations have been innovated and developed in constant exchange and integration.

2. Reason: 

As Comrade Hu Jintao said at Yale University, “Civilization diversity is the objective reality of human society”, “All civilizations have made their own contributions to human progress in their own unique ways”, World Cultural Diversity The trend is also more prominent, and these two trends will coexist for a long time.

3. Impact:

For a large developing country with a long and splendid and unique civilization, such as a nation-state, especially China, it is very important to coordinate cultural security and cultural opening in a globalized environment.

4. Advantages: 

In today's world, culture and economy and politics are intermingled. The competition among countries has risen from the economic level to the cultural level. It is embodied in the competition between cultural models and cultural industries. Developing cultural industries is the most important way to prosper national culture. one.

The cultural industry is a sunrise industry with great potential. Its status and role are more and more prominent. It accounts for 25% of the US GDP, 25% in Italy, 20% in the UK, and less than 3% in China. According to Morpho estimates, senior vice president of Disney.

The value of China's entertainment industry in the Mainland is currently 53 billion US dollars. If it can develop to the current level in the United States, the output value will be expanded 40 times to 2 trillion US dollars.

5. Disadvantages:

Lack of effective protection allows powerful competitors to quickly enter the cultural industry that is still a childish industry in China. The independent innovation and development of the national cultural industry will be restrained and damaged, and the cultural market may not be returned. Independent cultural brands and competitiveness, the results of the opening of the cultural market will likely be dominated by multinational companies, and win-win will become a single loss.

The relationship between globalization and traditional culture

Globalization has become the basic feature of today's era. With the advancement of globalization, the mutual connection and interdependence between countries in the world are constantly strengthened. In the process of the continuous development of globalization, its influence on culture is increasingly obvious and far-reaching. Under the influence of globalization, the cultures of all countries and nations in the world show the trend of conflict and integration.  
 In this process, Chinese traditional culture is inevitably affected by both positive and negative influences, such as the transformation of Chinese traditional political thoughts by Western democratic and legal thoughts, the change of Chinese traditional economic models and policies by scientific and technological progress, and the promotion of globalization of Chinese people's reflection and transformation of traditional culture. The negative influences include the influence of Western individualism on Chinese traditional culture, the influence of Western over commercialization on Chinese traditional culture, and the impact of "cultural hegemony" on Chinese traditional culture in the process of globalization. These impacts are profound and long-term, especially the negative impact of globalization on Chinese traditional culture, which we need to pay close attention to and think deeply about. In the context of globalization, it is of great significance to inherit and develop Chinese traditional culture for building a modern socialist country with Chinese characteristics. However, Chinese traditional culture itself is mixed and the essence and the dross exist. Blindly promoting traditional culture will inevitably lead to the proliferation and restoration of feudal decadent ideas. Therefore, we must treat China's traditional culture dialectically, adhere to the principle of "taking the essence and eliminating the dross", treat Chinese traditional culture correctly, scientifically distinguish the good and bad of traditional culture, give the Chinese traditional culture the spirit of the times, and adapt to the development of globalization, and push forward the modernization process of our country.
