阿尔曼•托夫勒在他的《权利的转移》一书中所说的: “世界已经离开了暴力与金钱控制的时代,而未来世 界政治的魔方将控制在拥有强权人的手中,他们会使 用手中掌握的网络控制权、信息发布权,利用英语这 种强大的文化语言优势,达到暴力金钱无法征服的目 的。”
世界许多发展中国家都感受到了来自美 国文化霸权的压力,甚至西方其他国家 也对此感到忧虑,法国总统希拉克曾说: “当今世界正面临着单一文化的威胁”, 反映出了他对美国文化霸权主义对于本 国文化所造成的压力的担忧。

In spite of endless talk of考研真题In spite of “endless talk of difference,” American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is “the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of difference” characteristic of popular culture. People are absorbed into “a culture of consumption” launched by the 19th-century department stores that offered “vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite.” these were stores “anyone could enter, regardless of class or background. This turned shopping into a public and democratic act.” The mass media,advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization.Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today’s immigration is neither at unprecedented level nor resistant to assimilation. In1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of population; in 1900, 13.6 percent .In the10 years prior to 1990, 3.1 immigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every 1,000. Now, consider three indices of assimilation-language, home ownership and intermarriage.The 1990 Census revealed that “a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen most common countries of origin spoke English ‘well’ or ‘very well’ after ten years of residence.” The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. “By the third generation, the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families.” Hence the description of America as a “graveyard” for languages. By 1996 foreign–born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 had a home ownership rate of 75.6 percent, higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-born Americans.Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics “have higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S.–born whites and blacks .” By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian–American women are married to non-Asians . Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet “some Americans fear that immigrants living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation’s assimilative power.”Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America?Indeed. It is big enough to have a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against America’s turbulent past, today’s social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment .21.The word “homogenizing”(Line 2, Paragraph 1) most probably means[A] identifying[B] associating[C] assimilating[D] monopolizing22.According to the author, the department stores of the 19thcentury[A] played a role in the spread of popular culture[B] became intimate shops for common consumers[C] satisfied the needs of a knowledgeable elite[D] owed its emergence to the culture of consumption23.The text suggests that immigrants now in the US[A] are resistant to homogenization[B] exert a great influence on American culture[C] are hardly a threat to the common culture[D] constitute the majority of the population24.Why are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks mentioned in Paragraph 5?[A] To prove their popularity around the world[B] To reveal the public’s fear of immigrants[C] To give examples of successful immigrants[D] To show the powerful influence of American culture25.In the author’s opinion, the absorption of immigrants into American society is[A] rewarding[B] successful[C] fruitless[D] harmful解析:21.The word“homogenizing” (Line2,Paragraph1)most probably means“homogenizing”(第一段第二行)一词的大致意思是[A]identifying 识别确认[B]associating 联系,联合[C]assimilating 吸收,同化[D]monopolizing 独占,垄断【答案】C【考点】词义题。

美国文化对中国社会影响英文作文

美国文化对中国社会影响英文作文The Influence of American Culture on Chinese SocietyIntroductionIn today’s globalized world, the influence of American culture can be felt in almost every corner of the globe, including China. The impact of American culture on Chinese society is evident in various aspects of life such as food, fashion, entertainment, and language. This essay will explore the influence of American culture on Chinese society and discuss the implications of this cultural exchange.American Influence on Chinese FoodOne of the most noticeable ways that American culture has influenced Chinese society is through food. American fast food chains such as McDonald's, KFC, and Pizza Hut have become immensely popular in China, with their distinctive flavors and convenient dining options appealing to Chinese consumers. In addition, Chinese people have also embraced American-style cooking techniques and ingredients, leading to the fusion of American and Chinese cuisines.American Influence on Chinese FashionAmerican fashion trends have also left a mark on Chinese society. Western-style clothing, such as jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers, has become increasingly popular in China, especially among the younger generation. American fashion brands like Nike, Adidas, and Calvin Klein are highly sought after in China, reflecting the influence of American fashion on Chinese consumers.American Influence on Chinese EntertainmentThe influence of American culture on Chinese entertainment is evident in the popularity of American movies, music, and television shows in China. Hollywood blockbusters regularly top the box office in China, while American pop music dominates the airwaves. American television shows like Friends and Game of Thrones have also gained a loyal following in China, highlighting the global appeal of American entertainment.American Influence on Chinese LanguageThe impact of American culture on Chinese society can also be seen in the adoption of English as a second language. English language proficiency is increasingly valued in China, with many Chinese students studying abroad in English-speaking countries like the United States. American slang and expressions have alsomade their way into everyday Chinese language, reflecting the influence of American culture on Chinese communication.Implications of American Cultural Influence on Chinese SocietyThe influence of American culture on Chinese society has both positive and negative implications. On the positive side, the exchange of cultural ideas between the two countries has led to greater cultural diversity and understanding. Chinese people have been exposed to new ideas, perspectives, and experiences through their engagement with American culture, enriching their lives in the process.However, the growing influence of American culture in China has also raised concerns about cultural imperialism and the erosion of traditional Chinese values. Some critics argue that the spread of American culture in China has led to the homogenization of global culture, with American ideals and values dominating at the expense of local traditions and customs.ConclusionIn conclusion, the influence of American culture on Chinese society is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that hasboth positive and negative implications. While the exchange of cultural ideas between the two countries has enriched Chinese society in many ways, it has also raised concerns about the impact of cultural imperialism and the erosion of traditional Chinese values. As the dynamics of cultural exchange continue to evolve, it is essential for both Chinese and American societies to engage in open dialogue and mutual respect to promote cultural diversity and understanding.。

文章通过分析美国文化价值观的特点、美国主流文化的构成因素及其对中国大学生的影响,并在分析其影响的基础上提出对中国大学生进行科学人生观塑造教育的应对策略。

【关键词】美国文化价值观;中国大学生;行为方式;思想观念;人生观教育0 IntroductionThe implementation of China‟s reform and opening up has brought unprecedented opportunities and challenges to all fields of society. It introduces western culture, technology, and advanced productive force and meanwhile there is some negative affect on many fields of our country.Nowadays, America is one of the most developed countries in the world. Its culture greatly influences many other areas all over the world. Obviously, Chinese college students are also influenced by American culture. With the influence of American culture, they become more confidence and independent. Besides, they work hard to compete with others. However, they have not get the real quintessence of the American culture. They blindly pursue individual freedom and pay much attention to their creature comfort (Coben, 25).The purpose of this paper is to research the effective measures to eliminate the harmful trends of these students. The analysis of the influence shows that it is very important for college students to know the real quintessence of American culture. Then adopt it to build college students‟ character. Now, the society needs talented persons who have high qualities. Facing with unprecedented challenges and opportunities, College students should cultivate themselves to be all-round talents.The paper consists of five parts. Part one is “an introduction of some parts of American culture”. Part two is “influence of American culture on Chinese college students”. Part three is “an analysis of the influence of American culture on college students”. Part four is “character education”. Part five is “conclusion”.1 Analysis1.1 An Introduction of Some Parts of American Culture“Culture is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law,custom and members of capabilities and habits acquired by a man as a member of society” (Deng,2). As we know, American culture, especially American values, beliefs and characteristics,has influenced many other areas all round the world.1.1.1 Some Basic American Values and Beliefs1)Individual Freedom and Self-relianceAmericans love freedom. Freedom is so much a part of American life that it is often taken for granted.But this is not the freedom of the individual is probably the most basic and most strongly hold of all American belief. By “freedom”, Americans mean the desire and ability of all individuals to control their own destiny without outside interference from the government, a ruling noble class,the church or any other organized authority.The desire to be free of controls was a basic value of new nation 1776, and it was continued to attract immigrants to this country.Besides, Americans believe that one must learn to rely on oneself or risk losing freedom. This means achieving both financial and emotional independence from their parents as early as possible,usually by age 18 or 21. “It means that Americans believe they should take care of themselves, solve their own problems and “stand on their own two feet”(Deng, 33).This strong belief in self-reliance continues toady as a basic American value. It is perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of the American character to understand, but it is profoundly important. Americans believe that they must be self-reliant in order to keep their freedom. If they rely too much on support of their families or the government or any organization, they may not be free to do what they want.“By being dependent, not only do they risk losing freedom, but they also risk losing the respect of their peers”(Deng, 33). Even if they are not truly self-reliant, most Americans believe they must at least appear to be so. In order to be in the mainstream of American life, to have power and respect, one must be self-reliant. Although receiving financial support from charity,family, or the government, which is allowed. However,“many people believe that such individuals are settling a bad example, which may weaken the American character as a whole” (Deng, 35).2)Equality of Opportunity and CompetitionIt is important to understand what American mean when they say they believe in equality of opportunity. “They do not mean that everyone is, or should be, equal. However, they do mean each individual should have an equal chance for success. For them, equality means that everyoneshould have an equal chance to enter the race and win”(Deng, 34). In other words, equality of opportunity may be a thought of as an ethical rule. It helps ensure that the race for success is a fair one and that a person does not win just because he or she was born into a wealthy family.If much of life is regarded as a race, then a person must run the race in order to succeed; a person must compete with others.“If every person has an equal chance to succeed in the United States,then it is every person‟s duty to try. Americans match their energy and intelligence against that of their neighbors in a competitive co ntent for success”(Deng, 34).“The pressures of competition in the life of an American begin in childhood and continue until retirement from work. Learning to compete successfully is part of growing up in the United States”(Deng, 36).3)Material Wealth and Hard Work“The heart of the argument of individualism concerned the growth of the concept of private individual property,and ownership”(Macafarlane, 192). Materialism means placing a high value on material possessions. But Materia lism is a word that most American find offensive. “To say that a person is …materialistic‟ is an insult. To an American this means this person values material possession above all else”(Deng, 35). Americans do not like to be called materialistic because they feel that this unfairly accuses them of loving only material things and of having no religious values. In fact, Americans do have other values and ideals. Nevertheless acquiring and maintaining a larger number of material possessions is of much importance to most Americans.Probably material wealth is the most widely accepted measure of social status in the United States. Because Americans rejected the European system of hereditary aristocracy and titles of nobility, they had to find a substitute for judging social status. “The quality and quantity of individual material possessions became the accepted measure of success and social status”(Deng,35).As we know, Americans almost hard work. The North American continent was rich in natural resources when the first settlers arrived, but all these resources were undeveloped. Only by hard work could these natural resources be converted into material possessions and a comfortable standard of living. Hard work has been in those necessary and rewarding for most Americans throughout their history. Because of this, they have come to see material possessions as the natural reward for their hard work. In some ways,material possessions are seen not only as tangible evidence of people‟s work, but also of their abilities. Most Americans believe that if a person works hard, it is possible to have a good standard of living. There is, however, considerable social pressure not only to maintain a good standard of living but also to improve it .It is easier to understand what Americans are thinking and feeling if we can understand what these basic values are and how they influences almost every facet of life in the United States. The sixbasic values presented in this part-- individual freedom, self-reliance, equality of opportunity,competition, material wealth and hard work--can help us understand some aspects of American character and they strongly influence life in the United States and that in China.1.2 Influence of American Culture on Chinese College Students1.2.1 Possitive Influence of American CultureDuring college students‟ studying of the their courses, they have learned more and more knowledge and culture. Among them,“the most influenced culture is American culture”(Collins,5). “With the influence of American culture, Chinese college students have become more independent and self-reliance”(Waites, 25). Most of them try to live by their hands. They utilize their spare time to earn some money instead of being supported by their parents. They usually work as tutors or do some part-time jobs, and so on. With the working experience, besides money, they have benefited a lot.Besides,“nowadays college students are more confident and most of them believe equality of o pportunity”(Waites, 26). At the beginning of the first term of their college‟s life, most of them made a speech to campaign for being a monitor or some other posts. They cherish every opportunity and try their best to run for it. They believe every one should have an equal chance to compete with others.And consciousness of competition and hard work has greatly appeared in students‟ minds,especially for the graduating students. With the encourage of some American youths‟ successful experience, for example, when Bill Gates was 19 years old, he set up his Microsoft company.20-year-old Dell created Dell company…etc., Chinese college students begin to carve out career for themselves. Indeed, there is great influence of American culture on Chinese college students. However, there also is some negative affect.1.2.2 Negative Affect of American CultureCollege students who are the representatives of advanced Chinese culture are regarded as the successor of the country‟s construction. Howeve r, with the negative affect of American culture,present cultural situation in many colleges is not optimistic. “Some college students are uninterested in Chinese culture and even sniff at it”(Waites, 31). “Many students pay more attention to American cult ure instead of Chinese culture”(Stroey, 162). Now the college students except students majored in Chinese classicism music, few of them are willing to learn Chinese classicism music, Chinese literature, and Chinese history. Indeed, traditional Chinese culture is facing great challenge.Besides, many college students blindly adore nearly everything from America. They like fast food, such as KFC,Macdonald‟s instead of Chinese food, although Chinese food is muchhealthier than fast food. And some of them are the crazy fans of films of Hollywood. They become lost facing American culture. “They persist in pursuing individually and freedom”(Storey, 256). They become self-centered. They believe they are the best and do not want to cooperate with others. They have nearly no sense of discipline. What is worse, gradually they seldom respect and care about the collective and others.So college students, facing American culture, please consider carefully what is the real quintessence of American culture. Otherwise, you will be misled by some negative factors.1.3 An Analysis of the Influence of American Culture on College Students1.3.1 Real Quintessence of American CultureCulture is the incarnation of a national power, which is the important symbol of both a nation and a country. Any nation has its own culture. To develop his own culture, people from any country should learn others‟ quintessence. What the most important is that you must know the real quintessence. American is a country that respect individuality and advocate individual freedom,individualism. What they emphasize is not to be cold to others and to be self-centered, but to strive and innovate independently. Common people‟s successful stories are the quintessence of t he “American dreams (Coben, 45)Carnegie who used to be a penniless apprentice, has been a steel magnate now. Lincoln is a famous American president, who used to be a common people. They are all nonesuch for common Americans.In many countries all over the world, personal relationship and his family background are the necessary qualifications for his individual success. For example, in Italy, if you want to succeed,first you need the godfather's help. If you are in Africa, people must get the Tribal chief's recommendation. However, in the United States, people will benefit from their relationship, but more important are personal diligent spirit, talent intelligence, and enterprising courage with the friendly personality. America is a country in which people have to do nearly every thing all by themselves. People believe firmly that everyone has equal opportunity. There, your family background does not support your success, and no one can help you succeed Individual progress is only attributive to your endless efforts.Besides,Americans have get a truth from their country‟s great change: since the wilderness can become the good farms, villages can become the cities. So, in the world, if you work unremittingly, you can achieve anything. Anything is possible. That is optimistic spirit. And the quintessence of optimistic spirit is that anything depends on human effort.Facing the future, they are full of confidence, make great efforts to innovate, and pursue the victory.These are the real quintessence of American culture, from which is the right thing we should learn to cultivated ourselves.1.3.2 Some harmful trendsChinese culture has been contributing greatly to the development of human being, whose language and character, literary quotation, literature and art, science and technology, arts and crafts, philosophy and religions,and moral theory all show Chinese culture‟s great witchery.However, with the affect of many foreign culture, especially American culture, some college students are lost themselves. They begin to adore American culture blindly, instead of learning the essence American culture to develop and innovate our culture. What is worse, some of college students have little interest in traditional Chinese culture. Some good traditional arts are nearly facing a crisis of no successor. However, many college students are busy with studying occidental arts, musical instruments, and western culture. Obviously we are following others without our own minds. As we know,Indian science and technology lags far behind China‟s. However,India‟s industry of software is quite developed, we still have a long way. The reason to the problem is that Hindus refuse to use the foreign software products, such as: IBM, while we accept them. We go after others and use others‟ culture to consider instead of mine. Such a serious situation, let we have to face it and think about our own way.1.4 Character EducationIn American history, the educational system had ever met the similar problems, like ours,which caused lots of social problems. After pursuing a new program--character education, there was a virtuous circle in the educational system. So it is high time that we introduced this program to our educational system, firstly to our class (Ryan, 16).1.4.1 The Importance of Character Education“Good character is known the good, loving the good,and doing the good”(Ryan, 5). These three ideals are intimately concerned. We are born both self-centered and ignorant, with our primitive impulses reigning over reason. The point of a nurturing upbringing and education is to bring our inclinations; feelings, and passions into harmony with reason.“Knowing the good includes coming to un derstand good and evil. It means developing the ability to sum up a situation, deliberate, choose the right thing to do,and then do it” (Ryan,5).“Loving the good means developing a full range of moral feelings and emotions, including a love for the good and contempt for evil,as well as a capacity to empathize with others” (Ryan,6).“Doing the good means that after thoughtful consideration of all the circumstances and relevant facts we have the will to act” (Ryan, 6).Character education helps stu dents “know the good, love the good,and do the good”, which involves the head, the heart, and the hand, in an integrated way. It needs our obligation,patience to achieve students‟ character,and we must take the responsibility for students‟ character education. If we compare the society to a big building, then, the students are like the bricks. If all the bricks are not qualified enough, the society will also be destroyed sooner or later.1.4.2 Views, Values or VirtuesView, values and virtues, which is the most important part in character education? Let us analyze the differences. “Virtues are cultivated from within the individual and actually improve character and intelligence. Views are simply intellectual positions, and values evoke neither a moral commitment nor the promise of leading a good life. Additionally unlike views and values, virtue is not passive. Virtue is both the disposition to think, feel, and act in morally excellent ways, and the exercise of this disposition”(Ryan, 45). So the facts show that virtue should be the key point in character education.1.4.3 Building a Community of VirtueEvery kind of plant has a kind of environment to grow, so does virtue. In order to carry out character education, we must build a community of virtue where responsibility, hard work,honest and kindness are modeled, taught, expected, celebrated, and continually practiced (Ryan, 56).We should realize the teaching power of a school ethos and take actions that support a community of virtue. We should spare no effort to advocate traditional virtues of the two cultures,and aim higher, create resonance, institute meaningful service encourage students ownership,remember the little things, build close relationship and care enough to correct others. Community of virtue is very necessary for the character education entering a virtuous circle.1.4.4 Cultivating Character through a CurriculumAs teachers,we should cultivate students‟ character in the class. First, the colleges must add character education to the curriculum. In class, we can teach them from little things to the philosophy of life. We must bring the moral heritage of the two cultures into focus. “We have the responsibility to increase students‟ moral literacy, ignite the moral imagination, promote the moral discourse,and foster moral integrity in class”(Ryan, 114).1.4.5 Engaging Parents in Character EducationIt is not enough to do these above all for character education. One point this paper intends to add is to engage parents in this program. What we should do is to make them create a community of goodexamples and consciously build their family. Besides, we should persuade them of becoming involved in their children‟s school life, although they are very busy.These are the five points in character education. We really hope that the introduction of character education will bring a great change to our teaching system. If we will make it, we will have full confidence to help our students to know the good, love the good, and do the good.2 ConclusionNowadays, human material civilization has been developing at a fast speed. However, we should not forsake the moral heritage of human cultures, because they are the spiritual treasure that we must pass from generation to generation. Fortunately, character education is a big help to our education system, to our nation, or even to the whole world. Looking into the future, we are full of boundless confidence. We believe that we will develop our students to be international communicators with high qualities who will keep pace with times and represent the orientation of advanced culture.【reference】[1]Chambers, Iain.

Grammar—Revise Noun Clauses(as the Subject,Object and Predicative)Ⅰ.阅读理解AWalt Whitman was born in 1819 in Long Island,New York.Whitman received most of his education outside of the classroom.At the age of eleven,he worked in a law office as an office boy where he became interested in reading.He was soon reading the works of famous authors like William Shakespeare and Homer,and was well on his way to becoming one of America’s most well-known poets.By the time Whitman was seventeen years old,he had already worked as a printer’s learner,a worker,and a teacher.Though he disliked teaching,he excelled in the profession,developing a friendly relationship with his students; he even allowed them to address him by his first name.He also developed fresh teaching techniques and learning games to help his students with spelling and maths.In his early twenties,however,he gave up teaching to pursue(追求) a full-time career as a journalist and poet.When Walt Whitman first appeared as a poet,his arrival onto the American literary scene was met with controversy.His first collection of poems,Lea v es of Grass,was so unusual that no commercial publisher would print the work.In 1855 Whitman published,at his own expense,the first edition of his collection of twelve poems.Whitman’s poetic style was uncommon in the sense that he wrote poems in a form called parallelism(对句法),in which his goal was to copy the flow of the sea and the quickly-passing nature of human emotion.A common theme in Whitman’s poetry is self-realization.In his work,Whitman moves from conventional patterns of rhyme to create a unique rhythm and a multi-layered,but truly American voice.“Although Whitman was considered a revolutionary by many,there is little doubt he loved his country deeply.” In his writing,he used slang(俚语) and various images,or voices,to create a sense of national unity.For Whitman,the “proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it”.Whitman has undoubtedly become a part of the cultural history and image of America.语篇解读本文介绍了Walt Whitman作为诗人所做出的贡献。

论美国文化对我国文化的影响和冲击

论美国文化对我国文化的影响和冲击

论美国文化对我国文化的影响和冲击理学院09级专业:数学与应用数学班级:0902 学号:200948350201 摘要:冷战后 ,随着国家软实力在国家力量中地位的突出 ,美国开始看重一种特殊的能力即利用自身软实力的优势来影响其它国家的能力。

虽然由于历史原因,美国没有深厚的民族文化,更不能与我们有着5000年文化史的历史悠久的文明古国相提并论。

我们的民族文化博大精深,源远流长,就连美国人自己在内都承认自己的文化比较肤浅,世俗。

但同时,我们谁也不能否认美国文化具有强大的攻击力,尤其是对年轻人来说,美国文化更是充满了吸引力。

随着改革开放步伐的逐步增加,美国文化更是迅速蔓延的我国,所谓的快餐文化、影视文化、服装文化、价值观、婚姻观等等的的确确是给了我国文化一个极大地冲击。

关键词:美国文化我国文化影响冲击对策一:美国文化扩张的原因及对我国文化的影响和冲击(一):美国文化扩张的原因冷战结束后,军事因素在国际关系中的地位相对减弱,经济因素地位上升,文化因素的作用得到了更进一步的加强。

“文化手段和政治、经济、军事手段一样,在大国间军事作用有限的条件下,特别是在现代核战争无法严密保护本国不受报复的情况下,文化手段尤其成为一种更加重要的强大渗透工具。

”正是基于这种地缘政治、经济利益的考虑,霸权主义的执行者——美国开始不断加强对全球文化扩张与渗透的攻势。

在世界上有两个最主要的文化模式:一个是东方文化;另一个便是西方文化。

作为东方文化和西方文化的典型代表,中国文化和美国文化被看作是两种单文化。

在全球化的背景下,这两种文化不可避免的要发生冲突和碰撞。

而在经济全球化背景下,美国经济上的强势为其实行文化霸权找到了理由,美国认为,其经济发达的原因就在于其文化理念和价值观念的先进性,世界上各民族文化的发展都要向美国看齐。

由于其物质上的强势,美国运用经济等手段向我国渗透其价值观念、政治模式和制度理念,更是频频打着“人权高于主权”的幌子,对我国的内政外交横加干涉。

如何看待美国文化对中国文化的冲击和影响?

如何看待美国文化对中国文化的冲击和影响?

一、如何看待美国文化对中国文化的冲击和影响;冷战结束以后,政治、经济、军事等传统因素在国际关系中的影响地位下降,文化因素的作用凸显。

信息传播技术的革新使得世界各国间的文化交流变得比以往任何时候都更加方便和密切。

经济的快速发展使中国融入世界的步伐大大加快,中国和世界各国的交流日益频繁和密切,这种变化在文化领域里同样有所反映,给我国的国家文化安全带来了新的机遇和挑战。

美国拥有强大的经济科技实力,这使其在对外交往中使用文化手段维护和实现国家利益时更加有利。

冷战的胜利让美国更加确信自己的社会政治制度和文化价值观念的优越,把推行西方民主制度和价值观念看作是自己国家利益的组成部分。

美国积极推行文化霸权对他国进渗透和入侵,企图使其他国家接受并认同美国的政治制度、意识形态和价值标准。

中国作为世界上最大的社会主义国家,自然是其文化霸权所指的首要目标。

近年来,中美之间的文化交流有了长足的发展,两国人民之间的相互了解也日益加深。

但是由于中美双方在文化固有观念上具有差异,意识形态的影响因素依然存在,加之国家利益的不同诉求,文化斗争在两国关系中还会长期扮演着一定程度上的角色。

改革开放以来,中国正缓慢接受美国等西方文化的影响。

文化观念的变化往往跟随于经济生产的变化,这就是在经济全球化已成为现实的今天,文化的多元化与之并行的重要原因之一。

人们谈论跨国公司的同时,也在谈论文化,但是关于跨文化的谈论往往是与文化的多元化联系在一起的。

当前人们之所以谈论跨文化的另一个原因,则是一方面对美国的多元文化有浓厚兴趣,另一方面担心本民族的民族性文化特性的丧失。

经济越全球化,人们越担心丧失本民族的民族性,于是越加强维护本民族的文化传统,国际性的文化多元化的呼声由此而日益高涨。

在当代,外国资本势力大举“入侵”中国,同时也带入了西方文化与价值观。

面对这股强大“魔力”,许多人被“蛊惑”住了,以拙劣的模仿西方生活方式为时尚,比如根本就不是基督教徒也不了解基督教文化,就跟风过“圣诞节”、“万圣节”等西方节日。

美国文化与中国文化的不同英语作文

美国文化与中国文化的不同英语作文

美国文化与中国文化的不同英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1Differences Between American Culture and Chinese CultureCulture plays a significant role in shaping each country's people, behaviors, values, and traditions. The United States and China are two vastly different countries with distinct cultures that influence various aspects of daily life. In this essay, we will explore the differences between American culture and Chinese culture in terms of food, language, family values, and social etiquette.One of the most noticeable differences between American culture and Chinese culture is in their cuisine. American cuisine is known for its diversity and fast-food culture, with popular dishes like hamburgers, hot dogs, and pizza. In contrast, Chinese cuisine is rich in flavors and variety, incorporating ingredients like rice, noodles, vegetables, and meats. Chinese meals are often eaten communally, with dishes placed in the center of the table for sharing, while American meals are typically served in individual portions.Another difference between American culture and Chinese culture is in their language. The United States predominantly speaks English, while Chinese is the most widely spoken language in China. The English language uses the Latin alphabet, while Chinese characters are ideographic symbols that convey meaning through strokes and radicals. Additionally, Chinese is a tonal language, with different tones altering the meaning of a word, whereas English relies on intonation for emphasis.Family values also differ significantly between American culture and Chinese culture. In the United States, individualism is highly valued, and people often prioritize personal goals and achievements over family obligations. In contrast, family plays a central role in Chinese culture, with strong emphasis on filial piety, respect for elders, and collective decision-making. Chinese families are known for their close-knit relationships andmulti-generational households, while American families are more likely to be nuclear or blended.Social etiquette is another area where American culture and Chinese culture diverge. In the United States, casual dress and behavior are generally accepted, and personal space and privacy are respected. Punctuality is valued, and direct communication is preferred in business and social interactions. In China, however,formal attire and manners are important, and hierarchical relationships dictate behavior and communication. Saving face, maintaining harmony, and showing respect are essential components of Chinese social etiquette.In conclusion, American culture and Chinese culture are distinct in their food, language, family values, and social etiquette. These differences reflect each country's unique history, values, and traditions, shaping the way their people interact and perceive the world. By understanding and appreciating these cultural differences, we can foster mutual respect, empathy, and cooperation between the United States and China.篇2Differences Between American Culture and Chinese CultureCulture plays a significant role in shaping the values, beliefs, and behaviors of a society. American culture and Chinese culture, being two of the most prominent and influential cultures in the world, exhibit distinct differences that reflect their unique histories, traditions, and social structures. In this essay, we will explore some of the key differences between American culture and Chinese culture.One of the most noticeable differences between American culture and Chinese culture is the emphasis on individualism versus collectivism. American culture is characterized by individualism, which values personal independence, autonomy, and self-expression. In contrast, Chinese culture is rooted in collectivism, which prioritizes the needs of the group over the desires of the individual. This difference is evident in various aspects of both cultures, such as the importance of personal achievement in American society versus the emphasis on social harmony in Chinese society.Another significant difference between American culture and Chinese culture is the concept of time. In American culture, time is viewed as a commodity to be used efficiently and productively. Punctuality is highly valued, and individuals are expected to adhere to deadlines and schedules. On the other hand, Chinese culture has a more flexible attitude towards time, with a greater emphasis on relationships and interpersonal connections than strict adherence to time constraints.Cultural attitudes towards family also differ between American culture and Chinese culture. In American culture, the nuclear family (consisting of parents and their children) is typically the primary source of emotional support andsocialization. In contrast, Chinese culture places a strong emphasis on the extended family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Family relationships are highly valued in Chinese culture, and individuals are expected to prioritize the needs of their family members above their own.Religion is another area where American culture and Chinese culture diverge. While religion plays a significant role in American society, with a majority of Americans identifying as Christian, Chinese culture has historically been influenced by Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. These belief systems emphasize different values and principles than Christianity, shaping the moral and ethical frameworks of their respective cultures.Food and cuisine also reveal differences between American culture and Chinese culture. American cuisine is diverse and varied, reflecting the country's status as a melting pot of different cultures and ethnicities. Fast food, such as burgers and pizza, is prevalent in American culture, with an emphasis on convenience and affordability. In contrast, Chinese cuisine is characterized by its use of fresh ingredients, complex flavors, and traditional cooking methods. The importance of food in Chineseculture is evident in the elaborate feasts and banquets that accompany important celebrations and holidays.In conclusion, American culture and Chinese culture are distinct in many ways, reflecting their unique histories, traditions, and social values. From attitudes towards individualism and collectivism to views on time, family, religion, and food, these differences shape the behaviors and beliefs of people in both societies. By understanding and appreciating these cultural differences, we can foster greater cross-cultural understanding and cooperation in an increasingly interconnected world.篇3Differences Between American Culture and Chinese CultureIntroductionCulture plays a vital role in shaping the identity of a nation. It reflects the values, beliefs, traditions, and practices of a society. The United States and China are two major countries with unique cultural backgrounds that have been developed over centuries. This essay will explore the differences between American culture and Chinese culture in various aspects such as social norms, values, communication styles, and traditions.Social NormsOne of the key differences between American culture and Chinese culture lies in their social norms. In American culture, individualism is highly valued, and people are encouraged to express their opinions, pursue their own goals, and strive for personal success. This reflects the American Dream, which emphasizes freedom, equality, and opportunity for all. On the other hand, in Chinese culture, collectivism is prominent, and people prioritize the needs of the group over their individual desires. Respect for authority, elders, and ancestors is also emphasized in Chinese society.ValuesAnother notable difference between American culture and Chinese culture is their values. In the United States, values such as independence, equality, diversity, and innovation are highly esteemed. Americans value personal freedom, equal rights, and the pursuit of happiness. This is evident in the country's democratic system, human rights, and vibrant multiculturalism. In contrast, Chinese culture places a strong emphasis on tradition, family, harmony, and hierarchy. Respect for elders, filial piety, and loyalty to one's family and community are deeply ingrained in Chinese values.Communication StylesCommunication styles in American culture and Chinese culture also differ significantly. Americans tend to be more direct, assertive, and individualistic in their communication. They value open and honest dialogue, express their opinions freely, and appreciate assertiveness and directness in communication. In contrast, Chinese communication is often indirect, implicit, and context-dependent. Chinese people value harmony, saving face, and maintaining relationships, so they may use nonverbal cues, gestures, and context to convey their messages.TraditionsTraditions are an integral part of culture and play a significant role in shaping societal customs, rituals, and celebrations. American culture and Chinese culture have rich and diverse traditions that reflect their historical, religious, and cultural heritage. In the United States, traditions such as Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Christmas, and Halloween are widely celebrated and cherished. These traditions highlight American values of gratitude, freedom, diversity, and community spirit. In China, traditions such as the Chinese New Year,Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Qingming Festival hold special significance. These traditions reflect Chinesevalues of family unity, prosperity, respect for ancestors, and harmony with nature.ConclusionIn conclusion, American culture and Chinese culture are distinct in their social norms, values, communication styles, and traditions. While both cultures have unique characteristics that define their identity, they also share common values such as respect, kindness, and the pursuit of happiness. Understanding and appreciating the differences between American culture and Chinese culture can help foster cultural awareness, mutual understanding, and cross-cultural communication in today's globalized world.。

美国文化对中国的影响英语作文

美国文化对中国的影响英语作文

美国文化对中国的影响:一种跨文化交融的视角In the modern era of globalization, the influence of American culture on China has become increasingly apparent. This influence is not just limited to popular culture, such as music, movies, and fashion, but also extends to areaslike education, business, and technology. The integrationof American culture into Chinese society has created a unique blend of traditional and modern values, shaping the way people think, act, and interact with each other.American popular culture has had a profound impact on China, particularly in the areas of music and cinema. Many young Chinese are familiar with American music genres like rock, rap, and jazz, and American movies and television shows are widely popular. This has led to a rise in the popularity of English language learning among Chinese youth, as they strive to understand the language and culturebehind their favorite music and movies.In addition to popular culture, American culture hasalso influenced Chinese education. The influx of American educational philosophies and methods, such as the emphasison critical thinking and innovation, has challenged traditional Chinese educational practices. This has led to a shift towards more innovative and student-centered teaching methods in many Chinese schools and universities. Business and technology have also been influenced by American culture. The influx of American brands and businesses has transformed Chinese consumer markets, and many Chinese companies have adopted American-style management practices and strategies. Furthermore, the widespread use of American technology products, such as smartphones and computers, has made American culture and values more accessible to the Chinese public.However, the influence of American culture on China is not entirely positive. There are concerns that the influx of American culture may erode traditional Chinese values and identities. Some argue that the over-emphasis on materialism and individualism in American culture may be leading to a loss of collective identity and social cohesion in Chinese society.Despite these concerns, the influence of American culture on China is undeniable. This influence hastransformed Chinese society in numerous ways, shaping the way people think, act, and interact with each other. As China continues to integrate into the global community, it will be important to strike a balance between maintaining traditional values and embracing new cultural influences. **美国文化对中国的影响:一种跨文化交融的视角** 在全球化的现代时代,美国文化对中国的影响日益显著。

美国文化输出对中国文化冲击的研究

美国文化输出对中国文化冲击的研究

美国文化输出对中国文化冲击的研究引言随着全球化的不断推进,文化输出成为了许多国家发展重要的一环。

美国作为当今世界最为强大的文化输出国家之一,其文化输出对其他国家的文化产生了深刻影响,尤其是在中国这样的大国中,美国文化输出对中国文化影响更加显著。

第一部分:美国文化输出对中国当代文艺的冲击美国文化输出最为显著的一个方面就是对其他国家文艺的冲击。

在中国,美国文化输出已经深入到了多个领域,影响了中国当代文艺的创作与发展。

其影响形式主要表现在以下几个方面:1.美国文艺形式的借鉴美国电影、音乐和文学等艺术形式吸引了众多中国年轻人,使得中国年轻人的审美观念发生了改变。

中国许多电影、音乐和文学作品逐渐受到美国文艺形式的影响,中国文艺家们也开始运用这些形式来表达自己的作品。

2.美国文化元素的融合美国文化元素也开始渗透到中国文艺中来。

在中国影视剧、音乐和文学中,越来越多的美国文化元素被运用到了作品中,例如:服装、歌曲、电影等等。

这种融合的方式,使得文艺作品的受众群体得到了扩大。

3.文艺作品内容的模仿美国文艺影响了中国的文艺创作,许多中国文艺家开始以美国文艺作品为原型,模仿它们的故事情节和人物形象,来创作自己的文艺作品。

尽管这样的作品在创意方面有所欠缺,但在现实生活中存在的某些问题,仍然能够受到广大观众的追捧。

第二部分:美国文化输出对中国群众文化的冲击除了文艺领域,美国文化输出对中国的群众文化也产生了深刻影响。

在过去几十年里,美国影视剧、音乐、时尚和娱乐等方面已经深入到中国每个年龄层的生活当中。

在这个过程中,美国文化输出对中国群众文化的冲击主要表现在以下几个方面:1.价值观的转变随着现代化的推进,中国的价值观念也发生了变化。

大量的美国文化输出使得中国年轻人的价值观念不断接受了西方化的影响。

美国文化对中国的影响英语作文

美国文化对中国的影响英语作文

美国文化对中国的影响英语作文The influence of American culture on China has been significant and far-reaching, impacting various aspects of Chinese society such as language, food, entertainment, and lifestyle. This influence has both positive and negative effects, and it is important to examine and understand the complexities of this cultural exchange.One of the most noticeable impacts of American culture on China is the widespread use of English. With the increasing globalization and the rise of the United States as a superpower, English has become a dominant language in international communication. As a result, many Chinese people, especially the younger generation, have embraced English as a means of connecting with the world. This has led to the integration of English words and phrases into the Chinese language, as well as the adoption of English as a second language in schools and universities.Furthermore, American fast food chains such as McDonald's, KFC, and Starbucks have become ubiquitous in Chinese cities, influencing the eating habits and preferences of the Chinese population. The popularity of American fast food has led to a shift towards a more fast-paced and convenient dining culture in China, impacting traditional Chinese cuisine and dietary habits. While the convenience and affordability of fast food are appealing to many Chinese consumers, there are concerns about the negative health effects of consuming such high-calorie and processed foods.In addition to food and language, American entertainment, particularly Hollywood movies and television shows, has also made a significant impact on Chinese popular culture. The influence of American entertainment can be seen in the widespread popularity of Hollywood blockbusters and American TV series in China. This has not only shaped the preferences and tastes of Chinese audiences but has also influenced the Chinese film industry, leading to the production of films that emulate the style and themes of American cinema.Moreover, the influence of American culture on China extends to lifestyle and consumerism. The rise of consumerism in China, fueled by the influence of American brands and products, has led to a growing demand for luxury goods and a materialistic mindset among the Chinese population. This has resulted in both positive and negative consequences, as the pursuit of material wealth and status has led to economic growth but has also contributed to social inequality and environmental degradation.Despite the pervasive influence of American culture in China, there are also concerns about the potential loss of traditional Chinese values and cultural identity. The dominance of American culture in the global arena has raised questions about the preservation of Chinese traditions and heritage in the face of Westernization. There is a growing sentiment among some Chinese people that the influx of American culture has led to the erosion of traditional values and customs, posing a threat to the authenticity of Chinese culture.In conclusion, the influence of American culture on China has been profound, shaping various aspects of Chinese society and sparking debates about the impact of globalization on cultural identity. While the exchange of cultures has enriched the lives of many Chinese people and contributed to the country's economic development, it is important to recognize and preserve the unique aspects of Chinese culture amidst the influx of foreign influences. As China continues to navigate its relationship with American culture, it is crucial to strike a balance between embracing global diversity and safeguarding the cultural heritage that defines the nation.。

浅谈美国文化对中国文化的影响

浅谈美国文化对中国文化的影响

浅谈美国文化对中国文化的影响
国际文化交流既是促进世界各国相互联系、共同发展的重要途径,也是各国实现本国外交策略的重要工具。

美国政府充分利用国际文化交流的这种功能,进行文化扩张和渗透。

美国文化随着经济全球化形成了一股强大的美国式力量,向世界各国辐射,对地球上几乎所有国家进行着价值观念与生活方式的单方面输出,并施加影响。

21世纪的突出标志之一就是文化的多元性,而这些多元文化中对人们生活冲击最大的就是外来文化,它以不可阻挡的态势影响着各民族的本土文化和所有的人。

改革开放使得中国从一个相对封闭的环境中走出来,而且这种开放的步子越来越快,各种文化思潮也随之而来,由此带来了文化和价值取向的多元化。

在世界多级化、经济全球化和实行社会主义市场经济的背景下,面对各种文化互相交织、相互激荡的局面,作为新时期的大学生我们应该怎么去看待美国文化的冲击和影响呢。

美国文化,现在已经影响了我们生活的各个方面,饮食、影视、服饰、价值观和婚姻等。

例如街头,随处可见身穿欧美、日韩嘻哈风格服饰,耳朵上戴着超大式的耳塞,边走边哼;或顶着爆炸头,戴满金属饰品的年青人;肯德基、麦当劳、尊宝批萨等食品吸引了大量的顾客;音像店里,摇滚、嘻哈等流行音乐被放在最显眼的架子上,我们的传统民族音乐被遗忘在了不起眼的地方;电影院里好莱坞大片风头最劲,其惊险的镜头和特技吸引了不少人的眼球,票房一路飙升;如今的节日更是多得数不胜数,情人节、愚人节、圣诞节的隆重程度已经赶上了春节。

Influence of American CultureIn last June ,the film Transformers IV was on the screen and as has predicted,it attracted lots of Chinese to cinema and watchit.Finally ,it won 1,970,000,000 box office in China,which made a new record of film box in China.There are many other films popular among Chinese besides Transformers IV and have made such great success that many Chinese can remember them for a long time.In fact ,American culture affects Chinese not only in film ,but also in many other aspects ,such as music,TV series ,game and so on.Therefore,Chinese culture has changed more or less due to the wide-spread of American culture,which I regard it as beneficial to us. Here are some main aspects where American culture influences us.First,nowadays,with the development of internet and technology,people all over the world can hear the voice from America like Britney Spears or Taylor Swift,whose songs are surely attractive to us.It’s absolutely that American music is popular among Chinese and Chinese singers have been learning from it so that singers like Tayu Lo ,Jonathan Lee ,in China imitated American country music to compose their popular music and finally made a great success.For example,Jay Chou once composed a popularsong Cow Boy On The Run,which consists of many elements from American country music ,such as freedom andcasualness,therefore this famous song attracted many young men in China.Nowadays,U.S. and European-style rock music has heavily influenced Chinese popular music. Musicians like Wu Bai and other popular rock bands borrow from U.S. rock traditions, while adding influences of Chinese music. The resulting popular music is very different from traditional Chinese music, but is still distinctive to the Chinese culture.American country music has integrated into Chinese popular music .With the guidance of Americanmusic,Chinese popular music develops rather quickly and has produced many pieces of work which appeals to people.However,I think singers and composers in China oughtn’t rely on it,other than pay much attention to our traditional culture and then produce songs with Chinese characteristics.Second,American TV series have always been popular among China,especially the youth,due to the exciting plot,pretty actress,music,clothes and so on.Once in a while,the TV series Prison Break won numberless fans in China,which is consists four seasons.Prison Break is based on the life in a prison and revolves around two brothers:one has been sentenced to death for a crimehe did not commit, and the other devises an elaborate plan to help his brother escape prison and clear his name.It’s the exciting plot and excellent acting skills that attract audience.There’re many other TV series like Prison Break,which are popular among Chinese.Since there’re few interesting TV series in China,it’s probable that people tend to watch American TV series.However,Ameican drama presents the open-up ,free style of American culture,which influences Chinese gradually.During this process,people in China,especially the youth,tend to forget and even abandon their own traditional culture,which has its advantages.The government has banned some TV series like The Big Bang Theory,The Good Wife so that people can watch domestic drama .As far as I’m concerned,we should take its essence, goes to its dregs ,so our government needn’t ban American series ,but have to cut out some negative scenes.Besides,producers in China ought to produce TV series more interesting combined with traditional culture in order to protect the culture.Third,there’re other industries besides music and TV series where American culture influences us a lot.With the spread of these industries,Chinese economy has been influenced more or less.For example,American fast food has attracted many Chinese.As we allknow,KFC and McDonald’s are so popular among Chinese that they are always full of customers.However,some Chinese restaurants have to shut down due to few customers.There are many industries where American culture has influenced China a lot besides food industries.American culture of its corporation influences China not only in economy,but also in constitution of corporation,the regulation of the corporation and so on.It’s typical that the internet corporation Baidu learns from companies in Silicon Valley and creates a friendly environment,therefore it has made a great success.In my opinion,most of the companies in China can learn from companies in America,which makes more profits and produces more jobs,to develop better.In addition to movie,music,industries,American has an advantage above China in its cation is increasingly important in modern societies because it determines, in large measures, the success or failure of a nation in global competition. Thus,we ought to pay much attention to our culture.American education has been acknowledged by its free style while Chinese education has been blamed for its hard exams and many courses.As a result,American culture has attracted many Chinese students to go abroad for further-study,which causes the loss ofintelligence and is bad for the development of our country in the future.Maybe the deepest effect American culture has made on Chinese culture is in our educational system. Ru culture has influenced China for thousands of years, so Chinese traditional educational system has been accepted commonly, but it is widely believed that this kind of system is not positive in every aspect, especially in stimulating students' potential. But the American educational system is different. It is open. And for this reason, it is widely accepted by Chinese people.It’s high time that our government should take some measures.So, to revitalize our education, the government should try to develop China’s economy. Then we can increase its financial contribution to education to improve the facilities, the quality of teachers, and the management of schools. Also, we should balance the “resource disposal”between eastern and western areas, the cities and the countryside, and the key schools and other schools. Besides,we can develop our own education like Confucius so that we won’t always be influenced by American education.With these measures,our education is bound to improve a lot.To sum up, the influence of English culture towards Chinese culture is diversity . We cannot consider it good or bad absolutely . As far as I'm concerned , facing the spread of English culture , weshould discard their dross and select their essence .To avoid the conflict between different cultures, some people combine their local culture with the foreign culture and produce a new culture. Kung Fu Panda is a typical one. In this American film, the director set our Chinese culture as the basis. It proved to be a great success. This kind of cultural integration is helpful for us to know each other.In a word, not only should we spread our traditional culture, but also we’ll learn other excellent culture to broaden our minds. Every culture has its own value and wonderful part. Maybe it is so-called killing two birds with one stone. I hope cultural communication will be kept in a normal state instead of a temporary hotness so the tree of Chinese culture can tower in the forest of world culture.References[1] Select from the book《Log into the World ofCultures---Intercultural Communication》,published by Chongqing University Press .[2]Select from the paper《浅论美国文化在全球化影响下与其他文化的交互》。
