1.Differences between countries are becoming less evident recently. People can see the same films, brands, fashion, advertisements and TV channels. To what extent do disadvantage outweigh advantages? As a result of the accelerating process of globalization in various aspects, young people in different countries are more likely to enjoy the same music, films, or television programs, which invariably result in some similarities. Some people may claim that it is more a curse than a blessing for the world. One argument commonly raised that this process will be damaging to the globe diversity. When locals are bombarded with foreign products or culture, they may gradually abandon their traditional values or ways of life, so this would have a negative impact on their national or cultural identities in the long run. They even quote numerous examples such as the Eskimo in Iceland and Mosuo ethnic group in Southwest China to illustrate their point of view. While this is particularly true of some minority cultures, I want to point out that they are still special cases instead of the general rule. Generally speaking, sharing something across the globe can contribute to a deeper mutual understanding between different nations. For example, a piece of country music by John Denver may well shed light on the peaceful daily life of Americans while a pop song by Cui Jian may introduce to Westerners a much more familiar China. What is more, an experience of some alien cultures may encourage more appreciation of the local ones, rather than assimilation or malfunction. There is overwhelming evidence on this when we consider japan, or China, or even the US, which tend to incorporate the international elements into the local. To conclude, I am quite optimistic about the prospect of an increasingly similar world. Of course, some minority groups may be put at a disadvantage for they cannot receive equal attention as the superpowers. So I also advocate that governments or other bodies should make efforts to bring these minorities into the international horizon. 2.Some people regard the increasing business and cultural contact between countries as a positive development. Others, however, feel these leading to loss of national identities. Discuss both views and give your opinions. The closer communication between different countries has been a conspicuous tendency in recent years, both in economic and cultural aspects. Some people doubt the continually connections will cause vanishing of a country's identities. In my view, the result of international interaction depends on the situation in different nations. In fact, the international contact is a definitely mutual benefit for countries. Due to the economically motivated, both states and entrepreneurs are interested not only in the domestic market but also in the oversea market. The closer connection opens up huge potential opportunities for business corporations. Besides, the more cultural contacts, the better understanding of other peoples. Cultural communication can alter people's attitude towards another culture and embrace different values, which will promote multi-cultural understanding 1 and even remove cultural barriers. Admittedly, the cross-national interaction will also impose a negative influence on national identities, especially to those weak countries such as Pacific island countries and some mini countries in Europe and Africa. It seems that in these weak countries, the locals have become more familiar with exotic cultures, which reflects the foreign cultural invasion to some degree. For instance, the mainstream value of teenagers in these countries has been mainly shaped by Hollywood blockbusters instead of their traditional literature or other artistic works. In my opinion, whether closer global communication will cause demise of national identities rely on different countries. American, as well as Canada and Australia, is marked by their high population mobility, or immigrants, to be more exactly. The culture in these nations is based on other cultures indeed. Therefore, they welcome different countries and it cannot be a problem to them. Also, some countries, like China, India and British, have their own unique ethnic identity and cultural confidence which come from their long history. Global contact will also be acceptable to them, too. Only to the weak countries, the local government should take steps to protect their vulnerable cultures. In conclusion, the positive and negative influence of global communication really coexists. However, the outcome of closer contact is better or worse is determined by different countries. 3.During the 20th century, contacts between different parts of the world developed quickly, hanks to air travel and telecommunication. To what extent do you think societies benefits from increased contact and closer relationship brought about by international tourism and business. Over the past several decades, the growth of international trade has helped different nations to strengthen the relationship. Meanwhile, it seems to be an unavoidable trend that a number of countries, especially those enjoy abundant tourism resources, have been supporting and exploiting sightseeing industry. However, perhaps nothing has received more praise and abuse than the prosperity of the international trade and tourism. Personally speaking, the frequent contact and intimate relationship brought about by the international tourism and business could benefit every community in more ways than one. Seen from the positive perspective, international trade greatly conduces to all participants. More precisely, the booming international trade can perfectly integrate different countries’ resources, which helps many nations to share resources to achieve the goal of complementing each other's strengths. Likewise, the prosperity of international tourism has benefited many nations and every individual traveler. To be more specific, the development of global tourism could generate immense economic value. South Africa could serve as a perfect example, which used to poverty-stricken and less well-known place. As tourism booms, it now becomes one of the most eye-catching scenic spots. When tourists do their sightseeing, they will buy local souvenirs, dine in restaurants and seek hotels, hence, the prosperity of tourism spurs national economy and creates job opportunities. As for every individual, the closer relationship among different countries provides them with a golden chance to savor happiness, expand mind and enjoy life. It is certainly true that the downsides of developing international tourism or business should never be ignored. For one thing, when it comes to tourism, millions of flowing sightseers might trigger a series of destruction of the natural environment of those hot scenic spots. For another, cultural taboo induced by the prosperity of tourism may aggravate the conflicts between locals and visitors and even causes some frauds and hostilities. On the side of the international trade, the fierce competitions deriving from foreign countries might impose an economic burden on state-owned enterprises. Even worse, international speculations and risks invariably ensue. In closing, the development of the international trade and tourism can be a double-edged weapon, which can be used for equally good or evil. My stand is that global tourism and trade can promote a nation’s development in many respects so long as some proper managements, regulations and guidance can be ensured. 4. Knowledge is power, Francis bacon wrote long ago. Education has a key to play in one’s growth and a nation’s development. Education is the driving force of productivity. Keeping this in mind, numerous countries and governments are paying closer attention to the cultivation of talents. People differ greatly in their views as to how to wisely allocate educational budget, some people assert that instead of supporting other subjects, national investment in science is desirable. As I see it, government should place equal stress on both science and arts. Granted, plenty of evidence and arguments could be easily found to prove that it is advisable for a nation to subsidize science. For a start, the competition among different countries, to some extent, amounts to the competition of gifted people. Science and technology is the stimulating factor of the development of productivity. Large amounts of talents could inject new life into a nation’s prosperity. Besides, in comparison with art students, those who are better equipped with science knowledge such as computer, business and accounting could create more commercial value. Nevertheless, it is rather superficial to simply say that national budget should be only restricted to science investment. The mightiness of a nation involves many aspects and the cultivation of good citizens or talents is to realize one’s comprehensive development. The construction of a country needs enterprisers, mathematicians and scientist, yet, on no account can we ignore the immense value of artists, writers, musicians. In addition to science subjects, literature, history, philosophy, music, art and PE should also become the aim of education. Literature strengthens one’s cultural deposit, history deepens one’s insight into life, philosophy fosters one’s analytical thinking, music moulds one’s temperament, art cultivates one’s artistic eye and PE enhances one’s health index. In these senses, art still deserves enough attachment and support. Art talents are indispensable to the betterment of a country. Overall, I re-affirm my conviction that education should not have too much utilitarian, conversely, it needs to render more concerns over one’s spiritual growth and character-training. Ideal educational policy should place equal significance on science investment and other subjects.
