Conflicts and contradictions between modern culture and traditional culture

First, the conflict between modern culture and traditional culture is mainly reflected in the following aspects.

1, structural and cultural conflicts

Compared with traditional society, the network structure of modern society is based on the requirements of commodity economy, and extensive cooperation and exchanges must be carried out in different regions, industries and fields. Therefore, the modern social structure is networked and all-round. Thousands of years of traditional culture is based on natural economy, and its main purpose is not to meet the production and exchange of goods, but to strengthen the functions of the ruling class. Modern culture has a network organizational structure, which is essentially different from the traditional vertical slave organizational structure culture, so there is a conflict between traditional culture and modern culture in structural culture.

2. The conflict of formal culture

In modern society, with the increase of people's income, consumers and consumption have greatly increased, such as using high-end mobile phones and going to high-end restaurants. China's traditional virtues are hard work and simplicity, and advocating frugality. Broken things need to be repaired, not replaced with new ones. This tradition is far from being suitable for modern society. In terms of utensils and consumption concepts, there is a formal cultural conflict between them.

3. Conflicts between ideas and cultures

The conflict between ideas and culture is mainly reflected in external phenomena, attitudes and behaviors. China's modernization has two goals-economic goal and moral goal. In the process of modernization, the modern concept insists on the direction of collectivism, not on deception, which has a strong conflict with the modern concept.

Second, the contradiction between modern culture and traditional culture analysis

1, from the particularity of social contradictions.

From the particularity of contradictions in different fields, due to the influence of history. Traditional culture has a far-reaching impact on China's economic and political development. From the particularity of different crafts, the importance of traditional culture as a kind of inheritance can not be ignored.

2. From the universality analysis of social contradictions

The contradiction between traditional culture and modern culture mainly includes the following three aspects. Production structure, formal culture and conceptual culture belong to different structures at first, and then different consumption concepts, attitudes and behaviors.

Traditional culture does not conform to modern society in some places, but it does not mean that traditional culture is useless. In the process of social history, the preciousness of traditional culture cannot be ignored.

For example, the traditional festivals in China are one of the traditional cultures, which make China people remember the history and the ancients. There are also some traditional costumes and the like. As people living in modern times, in the face of traditional culture, we should take its essence and discard its dross, and combine it with modern culture to create a better culture.
