The advantages of foreign culture to the development of national culture outweigh the disadvantages

The disadvantages of foreign culture to the development of national culture are more than the advantages. p>Forward: Thank you, President! We believe that foreign culture does more good than harm to the development of national culture. Before we start this debate, let's first clarify a few concepts: what is culture? Culture is all the spiritual and material products created by human beings. What is national culture? A national culture is a culture with its own characteristics that was created and developed in a certain period of history. Then what is a foreign culture? We consider a foreign culture to be one that is entering a nation, interacting with its society, and being gradually accepted by it. Today, we are faced with a debate between pros and cons. Pros and cons are never tangible results, never possibilities based on speculation, and therefore the measurement of pros and cons can only be made by factual judgment. Secondly, the criterion of who has greater or lesser advantages and disadvantages is naturally essential. We believe that with the overall perspective, development and discernment, as long as the foreign culture to the development of national culture to play a positive role in promoting, which is more good than harm. At the same time. We are also awake to see the foreign culture itself has its own advantages and disadvantages, but we are never all take the essence, remove the dross? We never should absorb all the excellent cultural achievements created by mankind? We should never be the newcomers who are good at taking Pi, therefore, we can never judge the advantages and disadvantages of foreign culture for the development of national culture by the disadvantages brought by the wrong introduction of national culture. First, let's show you a magnificent picture of history! In Renaissance Europe, the ancient Chinese civilization represented by the Four Great Inventions made the revival of Europe possible. The excellent Italian classical works fed Shakespeare, who was a highly English nationalist. China, on the other hand, once on a par with the Arabs, who possessed the entire cultural heritage of the ancient West, has since learned the lesson of lagging behind and being beaten up in a closed-door world. When we stand once again on the broad stage at the turn of the century today, reviewing the centuries of extensive dissemination and exchange of world culture, we marvel at how foreign culture has brought about the rise and leap of national culture, and we believe that the development of any national culture can only advance by leaps and bounds when it is in the midst of the intermingling and collision of cultures of other nations, and we will likewise believe that the principle of "embracing the world and accepting all things from all quarters" is the very essence of the strong confidence and history of a national culture. We will also believe that "accepting and embracing all cultures" is the best manifestation of the strong confidence and historical value of a nation's culture. As the saying goes: "Don't fear the floating clouds to cover your eyes, just because you are in the highest source." Thank you all! (
