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。

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》。
