3. Key terms
0.1.1.a. Globalization (from economic standpoint) (从经济学角度定义全球化): It is conceived as a process of increasing involvement in international business operations. (经济学视角中的全球化表现为不断增加的国际商务往来过程)。
0.1.1.b. Globalization (from sociological standpoint) (从社会学角度定义全球化): It occurs
when the constraints of geography on social and cultural arrangement recede as people around the world become increasingly aware that they are receding.
0.1.1.c. Globalization (from Marxist standpoint) (从马克思主义角度定义全球化): It is what people in the third world have already experienced for several centuries. It is called colonization. (全球化是第三世界国家在这几个世纪所遭受的苦难,即殖民化。)
0.2 Caucasians(高加索人): 较新的人类学研究显示,現代人的历史先是从非洲与中东到了欧洲,然后再从欧洲到了东亚,所以高加索人(Caucasians)主要分为印欧雅利安人和闪族、含族等“挪亚的后裔”)在生命历史变动过程中,总是界与东方人和黑人之间。如上所述,现代三大人种的形成,得力于两次分裂:第一次经历了“非洲人与异非洲人之间”(between Africans and non─Africans)的分裂,第二次经历了“东方人与高加索人之间”(between Orientals and Caucasians)的分裂.
0.2 Hispanic:It came into common use as a result of the 1980 Census to identify various U.S Spanish-speakers’ shared roots to Spain. It refers to that population segment with the capability of speaking and comprehending the Spanish language, whose ancestry is based in a
Spanish-speaking country, and who identify with Hispanic cultures. 1980年人口普查时开始通用的称呼。主要指讲西班牙语、祖先来自讲西班牙语的国家并且认同西班牙文化的人。
0.2.1. a. World culture(世界文化):It is the idea that as traditional barriers among people of differing cultures break down, emphasizing the commonality of human needs, one culture will emerge, a new culture to which all people will adhere. 世界文化指的是一种的新文化。不同文化背景所带来的传统隔阂消除后,就会产生强调人类需求共性的,受到全人类拥护的世界文化。
0.2.1. b. Macroculture(宏观文化): It implies losing ethnic difference and forming one large society. 宏观文化意味着种族差异的消失和更大的社会的形成
0.2.1. b. Melting pot(大熔炉): It means a sociocultural assimilation of people of differing backgrounds and nationalities. 大熔炉指不同背景和国籍的人们之间的社会文化的同化.
尽管大熔炉这一比喻所内涵的文化意义是动态的,但它从来都不能很精确的表达美国文化的意义。确切地讲,美国社会的不同文化融为一体并变成一个独特的文化实体,在美国历史上从来都没有发生过。实际上,美国国内的多种文化一直都相互适应,相互汲取经验,但他们从未丧失自我——各种文化一直保留着自己独特传统。
