Impact and blend of culture 文化的冲击与交融 

30th May 2016  /  life upon life, significant story

At the beginning of the semester, my school held an activity--Inclusive Business Challenge. After that, my school held many activities like that. I learn a lot and broaden my horizons through them. These are my feeling in below: What's your response when you meet foreigner first? My answer is "How can this happen?" How incredible! But they who should appear on TV appear in front of us. After I get in touch with them and talk with them many times, I change myself--how marvelous the outside world. The important feeling I get is the knowledge of culture and social.

We know Chinese culture since we are young, it is just to control yourself, be polite and kind. But western culture is the same. The advocate of "famous" people is to give back, be thankful and sacrifice to the society. Some of them are engaged in entertainment, some are engaged in culture, or other ways to affect the world. Then I make a decision: I will follow their example and I will give back to the society. The essence of the similarity between Chinese and Western culture is consensus and blend of culture. Then, why does this happen? Let's discuss it. The essence of humanity all around the world is the same. For example, Confucius in China said "Man's nature at birth is good." And Western has the same. What's the meaning "Man's nature at birth is good"? It's to give back to the society. After that, we need to take actions. I will keep and practice it in the future, no matter where I will go. This is all I learn. Thanks.

开学初,学校便组织了一场活动——容领挑战!之后学校也陆陆续续组织了许许多多的这类活动。通过这些活动,我也认识了很多,开拓了我的视野。下面是我的具体认识:当初次见到来此各界的外国的友人时,你的反应是什么?我的回答是:这怎么会?简直不可思议!然而,这些原本只在电视屏幕或者是电脑上才能看到的人,确确实实就在眼前。一次次地和他们接触,又一次次的表达自己的看法与观点后,我逐渐有了许多改变——原来外面的世界如此精彩。当然,最大的感触莫过于对于文化和社会的认知了。中国的传统文化,我们是从小就接触的,无非是什么克己复礼为仁。然而,外国的先进文化,却也是如此。这些“厉害的人”,他们所崇尚的是回馈社会,感恩社会,奉献社会。他们中有的人通过娱乐业,有的通过文化业,亦或是其他各种方式来影响他们。于是,在我小小的内心便生出了这么一个想法:我要向这些人看齐。我要回报社会。外国的文化与中国传统文化的相似性所体现的本质现象,却是世界层次的认知与共同的交流汇通。那么,为什么会出现这种现象呢?让我们来具体分析!世界的人性层次在本质上其实是一样的。例如,中国孔子曾有言曰:“人之初,性本善。”而在国外,也是多多少少有这种说法的存在的。何谓“性本善"?这就是我们所提倡的回馈社会了吧。既然认知了这么多,也该做出些行动了吧。我将始终贯彻这个理念,并坚持这个理念,走遍人生中的每一片风风雨雨。以上,就是我的全部看法。谢谢赏阅。
