Nowadays we can enjoy the same films, fashions, brands, advertisements and TV

channels. The evident difference between countries is disappearing. To what

extent do you think the disadvantages overweight the advantages of this?

Globalization creates conditions for widening international exchanges,

strengthening mutual understanding between nations, expanding cultural,

educational, and scientific cooperation between nations and countries, enjoying

the cultural achievements of people around the world which encourages the

process of modernization and the enrichment of national culture.

However, these conditions also create the possible danger of diminishing the

national culture with a negative impact on the pre123vation of national

identity. Through globalization and an open door policy, erroneous concepts and

a lowering of ethical standards, a selfish and individualistic lifestyle and

harmful cultural products can easily be imported into the country. At present,

modern information technology which in the main is controlled by US is hourly

and intensively disseminating US ideology, way of life, culture and films across

the world. Even US food is promoted so that some people consider globalization

as global Americanization.

During the process of economic globalization, inequality between developed

and developing countries has been increasing and the gap between the rich and

the poor has become wider, most of the result of globalization go to assist

developed countries. Globalization does not pose equal interests and risks to

all nations. With an overwhelming advantage compared to most of the developing

countries in terms of finance and the level of science and technology, developed

ca123alist countries control the situation of economic globalization.

For these reasons, globalization is a fierce and complicated struggle in both

cultural and ideological fields. We take the initiative in international

economic integration but also have to take the initiative in fighting to keep

our distinct culture resisting pro-foreign and cross-bred phenomena, and

overcoming the psychology of preferring money over ethical values.
