接觸國際媒體,如電視、電影和雜志,對當(dāng)?shù)匚幕兄卮笥绊憽D阏J(rèn)為影響是什么?你認(rèn)為利大于弊嗎?
思路解析:
1. 新媒體的主要影響在于它很大程度上重構(gòu)著每一個本土文化。舉例,受到互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和全球時尚雜志的影響,在中國,人們更喜歡西方風(fēng)格的牛仔褲,T恤和西裝了,而不是傳統(tǒng)的絲綢衣服。此外,受到網(wǎng)絡(luò)視頻和電影中極限運動的影響和刺激,今天的中國年輕一點最喜歡的運動就是攀巖,自行車速降,蹦極,而不是傳統(tǒng)的武術(shù)。
2. 新媒體會導(dǎo)致文化入侵。舉例,在互聯(lián)網(wǎng),電視和電影的作用下,一個全球流行文化迅速地傳播,并且會統(tǒng)治當(dāng)?shù)厣鐣。舉例,麥當(dāng)勞,好萊塢電影,在線游戲,社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)以已經(jīng)吸引了年輕人所有的時間和注意力。這讓他們對于本地的傳統(tǒng)缺乏興趣。
參考范文:
Nowadays, the trend of international media overwhelming worldwide has been a heated social issue in debate. Personally, I think exposure to the global media has substantial influences on the local country, and its overall impact is negative, to the cultural extent.
Firstly, the main impact of international media on the local culture is that this trend is reshaping and substituting traditional elements, specifically, encompassing patterns of behaviors, religious beliefs, values, customs, food, clothing, lifestyle, social norms and morals, sports, arts and architectures. For example, in China today, cheongsam, traditional silk-made clothes of females, has been gradually replaced with the western-style dresses, jeans, tailored suits and trendy fashions, due to the advertisement campaigns of international famous brands on the Internet or global fashion magazines. Another typical example is the change on leisure activities. Compared with Chinese traditional exercise like Tai Chi Quan, a kind of kungfu with slow movement, pictures and videos about foreign extreme games on the Internet and Hollywood movies are more impressive and attractive. Expectedly, skateboarding, rock climbing and bungee jumping have been the most favored outdoor activities among the youth.
What is more, this trend is risky, for the reason that such cultural invasion will endanger the survival of local culture. In a multi-cultural society, the local culture always fades, because of the high attraction of foreign ones. For example, during the process of cultural mergence, a whole China is monopolized with the exotic cultural items, from food of MacDonald to movies of Hollywood, from fashions of Paris to animations of Japan. In a long term, there would be a misunderstanding among the public that the global pop culture is superior to the local culture in China. Adversely, young generations would fail to respect and appreciate their own culture. In a long term, the national identities of China will go into extinction, because of the lack of popularity and protection.
In conclusion, this trend causes cultural mixture, replacement, competition, as well as the possibility of the death of the local culture. Therefore, the international media should be restricted, in order to keep the diversity of cultures.
