Debate Should cultures blend with each other or maintain their unique characteristics?

Hehe↖(^ω^)↗Come on. . . You have to find the bright spots or you have to break the problem. . Take a look at the defense. . Then find a new footing. . Then break the topic

■ Positive: The development of information dissemination will create a kind of cultural imperialism!

■ Opponent: The development of information communication only brings us more resources for learning and innovation.

This is destined to develop local culture, so how can it be a blow?

Su Jiajie (first argument of the affirmative): Most of the so-called local cultures in the world have been assimilated. Culture

culture is originally formed on the basis of family or local community. But now the globalization of culture

has a profound impact on the way of life of ordinary people. The process of assimilation means that although the things we want are readily available everywhere, these things have already been It is no longer culturally significant, and it is not impossible to identify the superficial characteristics of each country

culture, but it does not make sense for today's debate. First of all, we

just want to say that the national culture does not represent the local culture. Of course the people have different characteristics, but these characteristics

are not the local culture. We must give the local culture Define culture.

According to the research of anthropologists, a local culture must be located in a specific geographical location. Local culture

is a self-sufficient economic system, and the information transmission within local culture is closed.

It is impossible to distinguish the superficial national identity from the essence of localization. The conflation of sex and the emphasis on superficial culture is nothing more than a mechanical reflection of globalization. It also protects and creates a cultural identity politically and economically.

purpose.

Chen Xunliang (opposer): Local culture is the spiritual, material and institutional wealth established by the people of a certain region when dealing with the challenges of life

And each Each local culture has its own regional uniqueness. However, as the environment continues to change, so do the challenges. Therefore, the survival and development of local culture must continue to evolve. Innovate and respond to challenges to continue its vitality.

Anthropology tells us that the development of every culture is actually a process of self-enrichment and self-affirmation

No culture is static, so whether there is any change today? The blow is not to see whether the local culture has changed, but to see whether the local culture has advanced or declined.

If you say it is a blow to Fang Bianyou, then ask him to demonstrate to you how the development of information dissemination has had two serious negative effects on

local culture. . The first is to invalidate the response challenge of local culture.

The second is to make the vitality of local culture no longer possible. Development is a dynamic process from imperfection to perfection

, and the development of information dissemination has already begun with the language, writing, printing, and papermaking technologies in the past. So today we believe that the development of information dissemination actually has two effects on local culture

< p>An important effect, namely the resources created and the conditions for continuation. To sum up, we believe that the development of information dissemination will not impact local culture!

Ding Aizhe (affirmative second debate): First of all, I would like to point out that what we are debating today is the development of information dissemination.

Exhibitions attack local culture, not the consequences brought about by the development of information dissemination. The pros and cons of change. I want to

demonstrate from two aspects that the development of information dissemination has impacted local culture on the social structure and spirit.

First of all, I want to talk about the impact of the development of information dissemination on the social structure. The development of information dissemination will affect local culture. For example, if rural society accepts modern information and adopts mechanized farming, not only will their labor demand be reduced, but they will also not be self-sufficient. Self-sufficient. Secondly, spiritually, I want to emphasize that the development of information dissemination will shake the belief of a culture. In history, with the development of transportation, missionaries traveled thousands of miles to a certain place to spread their teachings, trying to convert more souls to their religion. Furthermore, we cannot ignore the impact that current means of information dissemination have on people's ideas. To sum up, the development of information dissemination will create a kind of cultural imperialism!

Chen Jintian (opposition second debate): Today the other side still tells us that the development of information dissemination will have an impact on local

culture. Why? First, because it changes the social structure. Second, it changes

our spiritual values.

But is today's change a blow? We also admit that the development of information dissemination

will cause some changes and impact on local culture, but what we want to confirm today is that change

is an inevitable process of cultural development. Which culture develops without changing?

So today the other party did not argue that its changes constituted a blow. Third, the development of information dissemination allows us to realize the diverse value cultures of the outside world. By referring to foreign cultures, we can stimulate self-innovation of our own culture. This is not a simple matter. imitation, but actively renews itself. So we see that

It is precisely because of the gradual opening of information that Mali in Africa has transformed its local culture from wilderness to civilization,

from feudalism to democracy. If this is also a blow, does the other party advocate that every country should learn from it?

The Taliban regime prohibits all television, movies and Internet access. This is the development of local culture

What about the way to develop?

Tang Lixian (affirmative third argument): Thank you, Chairman, and good evening, everyone. We have already talked about the inability of local culture and the development of information dissemination to coexist. Now let us take a look at the signs of this.

At the end of the 21st century, nearly 90% of the 6,800 languages ??in the world may disappear. After all, language is an inseparable part of culture

Once language disappears, there is no way to study the recording of social life in this language.

The culture of a society will also die with the language. , it is precisely the development of information dissemination that has led to this situation of survival of the fittest. This is because people tend to use more popular languages. In the Philippines, people who originally lived in an agricultural society sell souvenirs and small ancestral items to tourists, and even take photos of tourists to make a living. The phenomena mentioned above are no longer characteristic of local cultures, they are no longer self-sufficient, and this situation is facilitated by the spread of information.

Chen Zhengtang (Three Opposition Debates): Today’s debate is a bit vague because the other side does not

have a clear definition of a blow. Today, the other side considers any change to be a blow, just as What we say, from the perspective of anthropologists, is that only by causing serious damage to the development laws of local culture, making it unable to respond to challenges, unable to inherit and continue, It is called a blow, so the other party's wrong standard of blowing extends to the following two mistakes: First, he tells us that any structural change is a blow. Second, the other party talked about spiritual values ??

In terms of value, he told us that once we learn some foreign viewpoints, we lose authority. We admit

that we have learned Western ideas of democracy and freedom, but has our Confucianism lost its authority

because of this? Not necessarily, the development of information dissemination only brings us more resources for learning, reference and innovation

This is doomed to the development of local culture, so how can it be a blow?

Confrontation

■Zhengfang: The most important core of local culture, the core of culture, is the economic aspect, which

is the aspect of information dissemination and development.

■ Opponent: What exactly is called a blow? Are all changes called blows?

Andy Lee: The opposition has never defined local culture. Please define it and prove it.

Your definition.

Hu Jianbiao: We have proven from the beginning, what is the local culture? On the contrary, the opposing debater did not clearly draw a dividing line for attacks. What exactly is called an attack? Are all changes

called attacks? Ask the opponent’s fellow debater to explain clearly to everyone.

Ding Aizhe: I remind the third debate again that what we are talking about today is the impact of information dissemination on local culture,

not the benefits and disadvantages of the changes brought about by information dissemination, so I You used the example of Africa to say that Africa was very feudal in the past. I think it is relatively trivial.

Chen Xunliang: That’s why we said that not only did it not attack, but it brought benefits to the local culture.

On the contrary, the other debater did not mention the example of the attack at all, and only told Some examples of our culture that have changed and had influence

are changes equal to a blow?

Su Jiajie: You are all talking about China and Africa. I don’t know if you have been to these places.

But let me tell you, these two places are very big. Africa, There are many ethnic groups in China and many local cultures. According to your definition, you can say that you will not attack local culture, but Africa has many local cultures, so why not A blow?

Chen Zhengtang: It is true that we have not been to China and Africa. However, through the development of information dissemination and through

the emerging technologies of the Internet, we can understand what happened between Africa and China What happened?

Because of this, we can understand that because of the development of information dissemination and the openness of information, we can

make them move from feudalism to civilization. May I ask the direction of feudalism? Civilization, why is it a blow?

Andy Lee: Countries are all experiencing the process of globalization, so we feel that the local culture in these places is not local culture. Chinese culture is only a part of global culture.

Tim Chan: I want to clarify a concept. Even if I learn Cantonese today, it does not mean that I will not know my own language. Just like if I learn Cantonese today, Learning Malay and Chinese does not mean that I will forget the Hokkien of my ancestors, so the other party's logic cannot be established.

Tang Lixian: Could you please give me a definition of local culture and what is the basis for it?

Chen Xunliang: In fact, the other debater just wants to tell us that a little change will be a blow. I

I believe the other debater. The four debaters actually study and study Chinese. , then three of the opponent’s debate partners are British, so don’t you voluntarily give yourself a blow?

Andy Lee: You have always paid attention to the superficial characteristics of these cultures. We should pay attention to the core of culture

It is the economic and information aspects.

Tim Chen: May I ask my fellow debater, what is the main function of culture?

Andy Lee: The most important core of local culture, the core of culture, is the economic aspect, which is

the aspect of information dissemination and development.

Hu Jianbiao: In fact, my personal opinion is a little different from the other party’s four debates. I think the core of culture

includes a kind of values. We know that today Japan learns from Chinese culture and is inclusive. Its values ??have been practiced for a millennium, and Western culture has been studied for 150 years. So why is this learning process called a blow?

Andy Lee: We have already said that Japan is not a local culture. A local culture has a self-sufficient economy and self-sufficient information technology.

Chen Zhengtang: Just now the other party said that local culture has its closed nature, so I would like to ask the other party to give an example.

What kind of culture is closed?

Ding Aizhe: In fact, there is no closed culture, because their local cultures are gone, because they are almost gone. The development of information and cultural communication has hit them.

Chen Jintian: The other party’s first argument told us that the definition of local culture today is that it must be closed

And the other party’s second argument also told us that there is no such thing as closed in the world today Culture, does that mean there is no local culture at all? If there is no local culture at all, then what on earth are we debating today?

Summary

■ Zhengfang: The development of information dissemination attacks local culture in various ways, which is the characteristic of strong cultures in the world

This has been the case in the past , it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.

■Opposition: Is it true that the only primitive people in the world who drink raw materials and drink blood are called local cultures that have not been hit or changed?

Hu Jianbiao (Four Opponent Debates): Before summarizing, I would like to point out several key errors in the arguments of the opposing debaters.

First, the opponent’s argument was based on such a premise. He told us that local culture is closed and cannot be changed. , that is called local culture. Under this kind of information, is there any local culture in the world? We all know that all cultures either change themselves

or learn from others and change them. Isn’t it true that the only primitive people in the world who drink raw materials and drink blood are called primitive people whose local culture has not been attacked? What if it hasn’t been changed? Under this premise,

Today’s debate topic is unnecessary because there is no local culture in the world.

The second mistake is the definition of blow by the other party’s fellow debater. The other party’s friend told us that today’s so-called

blow refers to a change, and any change is a blow. If attack is a kind of change,

Then I want to tell you, when was the most severe attack on Chinese culture today? It was in the Tang Dynasty

Because the Tang Dynasty learned the music of the Hu people, it introduced the Hu people's huqin and the Hu people's dulcimer, and it

also learned the Buddhism of the Hu people. , according to this statement, the Tang Dynasty should not be called a prosperous cultural period, but a local culture full of scars.

To analyze and measure a local culture, we must focus on two aspects: First, whether the local culture

can effectively respond to the challenges of the times. Secondly, whether local culture can continue to have a long history and pass on its cultural essence

Today’s debate is to explore the impact of the entire development trend of information communication on these two aspects

Should it be called a blow? Or not to attack? We believe that it will not damage local culture.

Anthropologist Li Andi (four positive arguments): Anthropologist Barthes said that culture always has a cultural core, as well as

cultural characteristics and superficial characteristics. The superficial features include clothing, songs, and dances; the core of culture has two aspects, one is the economic aspect, and the other is the flow of information. The world looks very different

But in fact, just like the topic discussed yesterday, the world has gone through the process of globalization and assimilation.

From the Vatican Archbishop to Hollywood stars, everyone is rushing to aspire to it, and everyone is involved in currency circulation

What is different? Let me tell you, only the local culture is different. The core of the local culture is different. It is the self-sufficiency of the economy and the self-sufficiency of the information.

Tribal ethnic groups are originally a typical local culture. Laozi once described a society that follows a single path, "chickens

dogs hear each other, and they never interact with each other until old age or death." But this kind of society is rare at present. Why?

The famous Italian anthropologist Melochi said that the exponential increase in contacts and the continuous flow of information have destroyed the internal unity of various individual cultures. The media The spread of so-called standard models, the immigration phenomenon and mass tourism have accelerated the extinction of cultural forms that are inseparable from regional social factors. Tourism, immigration, The media can be regarded as the development of information dissemination. The most important thing is the development of information dissemination.

The development has damaged the core of local culture, that is, economic self-sufficiency and the closed nature of mutual information.

Although the local culture has suffered such damage, I still feel that we should not judge whether this phenomenon is a good thing or a bad thing based on emotions

On the contrary, we should admit that the development of information communication in various ways

attacks local culture, which is the characteristic of strong cultures in the world. This was the case in the past, and it is like this now

, will be the case in the future.

(The defense has been abridged)

The judges’ points

Zhao Lingmao (representative of the judges):

The pros and cons are arguing to attack this When talking about the words, it is obvious that the negative side has some biases

. We feel that the positive side is tighter in this regard, that is, the attack is more negative, so far

At least the local culture is lost. Whether it is completely lost is another matter, but in theory they are right. When Zhengfang mentioned local culture, he mainly mentioned that information dissemination was originally

closed, and even mentioned some cultures in the Amazon River, which retain some remnants of local culture.

The most important thing they talk about about local culture is to maintain the original taste, but it is obvious that now

It is very rare to find the original local culture. Using their words, they even used cultural imperialism, which means that under such circumstances, they have all been assimilated, so this is their position. On the other hand, the opposing side's argument is that local culture is not static, which means that we cannot go back to the era of living with hair and drinking blood. Culture is developing. The judges’ verdict: The negative side wins.

The following are some of the better highlights

The important part O(∩_∩)O haha~ look carefully

Hello everyone! The other party’s defense is wonderful and wise, but the truth cannot be modified. First of all, I would like to reiterate that today’s debate topic is “the impact of foreign culture on local culture” rather than “the pros and cons of foreign culture.” I would like to point out several mistakes of the other party. : First: When the other party’s friends defined foreign culture, they thought that the definition had been narrowed, saying that it was an incommensurable part. It is proposed that both sides will lose, but history shows that there is no such phenomenon. However, China knows wisely and can judge its essence and dross. Take the essence and take the dross.

Secondly, the other debater mentioned Buddhism. Can you say that the introduction of Buddhism into China will definitely bring more benefits? It is because of the introduction of Buddhism that China developed a Buddhist culture with Chinese characteristics. Third, the opposition seems to be emphasizing the merits of Chinese and foreign cultures. You cannot assume the history of a house! We are based on the efforts of the Chinese people and through the correct guidance of Marxism, otherwise we would still be in the seclusion of the Qing government with great dissent. The influence of foreign culture on local culture does more good than harm. From the perspective of development dialectics, as long as foreign culture plays a positive role in promoting it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Hu Shi once said: Culture is nothing else but the living people. It can be seen that the unique nature of culture is human nature. The tolerance and unity in human nature give the possibility of cultural integration. The sea accepts all rivers, and it is great to be tolerant. Culture is developing and advancing. It not only needs to constantly discard its own dross, but also constantly integrates foreign culture, constantly absorbs its essence, and constantly digests and assimilates it, making it become the fresh blood of the development of local culture. Today's Chinese culture is actually formed on the basis of continuously absorbing the cultures of various ethnic groups, countries, and regions over the course of five to six thousand years of development. Culture is long-lasting and not static. Today, when we are liberating and developing productivity, what can compare with the development of productivity? The introduction of modern natural science promoted the development of productivity, made mechanization possible, and produced a qualitative leap in the development of productivity. There is also the rapid development of science and technology today. The rise of the Four Asian Tigers and the rapid development of Japan, which one has not been affected by our culture? Wasn’t Japan’s Meiji Restoration influenced by foreign culture? Looking at the European Renaissance, he was influenced by China's four great inventions. The ancients understood people and knew how to be inclusive. King Wuling of Zhou also accepted Hufu riding and shooting. In modern China, we have the lesson of seclusion and the progress of the May Fourth Movement. The introduction of foreign ideas and the guidance of Marxist-Leninist thought brought spring to the Chinese revolution. Reform and opening up has brought a new opportunity to China's development. We can only accept foreign culture, take its essence and discard its dross, so that China can develop better and faster. The 2008 Olympic Games is an opportunity for China. It is true that foreign culture has an impact on local culture, but competition can only lead to development. This is also a baptism for Chinese culture. You cannot become a new person without bringing in people, and you cannot become a new culture without bringing in culture. Use what we have taken to develop our productive forces and carry out economic construction. Use what we get to develop our local culture and promote the progress of all mankind.

Ambassador Ji Xianlin told us: Without cultural exchanges, human society cannot progress
