Culture is often defined as a set of shared principles and values. Yet as the world approaches greater and greater degrees of globalization, global subcultures begin to emerge. The movement is one such sub-category, characterized by a specific type of music, with its own fashion and language.
Britain used to be a society where the so-called culture norms dictated one’s entire future, one in which people were categorized according to their perceived status at birth. Yet by the 1980s all that had changed. It changed so radically that a whole generation of youth were left stranded in a quagmire of confusion and despair, each struggling to re-define their role within society, and to make sense of a culture that seemed unforgiving at times, culturally inherited ideas, beliefs and values having being turned on their head. Jobs for life had disappeared, and even gender and class distinctions were starting to become blurred.
Today, in modern China, the very same principle attitudes to life, to culture, to economic, social and political change are also beginning to change. Indeed, an influx of migrant workers to the big cities is mixing with the influence of foreign attitudes and values on the youth, and people are re-defining the values of work and education. Even the family unit is beginning to fragment as young graduates increasingly flock towards the big costal cities and turn their backs on their hometowns, looking for opportunities to develop their own careers. Indeed, ideas, attitudes and shared values that belonged to a close-knit community are now being turned to individual enhancement, or career development, even personal development as it is so often defined. Yet the reality of what we are witnessing is a shift in the paradigm of collective intelligence, from a community focus to a national even global focus.
This, however, is the by-product of the offspring of global corporate dominance. The Chinese people’s philosophy that considered the striving for monetary wealth to be of secondary importance, even loathsome, is now turning to the creation of wealth and personal gain.
All this is resulting in the emergence of a wealthy middle-class elite. As the golden calf fattens farmer are finding their status being relegated to that of an underclass. For whilst the creators of wealth are important for a healthy economy that is underpinned by money, it is an economic model built upon the skills of the working men and women. And all of this is built upon the shoulders of those responsible for tilling the land, which, if it were removed, would have disastrous consequences. Would it not be more fitting to bestow equal status upon those whom the whole system is wholly reliant?
The changes are taking place and increasing in ferocity fuelled by technological advances, re-defined work practices, and re-defined social thinking. Should we not begin to ask ourselves why it is that large multinationals demand of their Chinese workforce the ability to speak English and adapt their traditional ways of working to suit the dictates of the foreign employers?
Western cultures have lost their spiritual awareness and are increasingly turning to Eastern cultures in an attempt to re-address the balance. Paradoxically, however, the striving for economic development in China is threatening the very thing that many westerners are seeking to re-gain. Thus it is that China is in the throws of re-defining its place in a so-called global society. [br] According to the passage, people in China ______ .
选项
A、are more spiritually aware than people in Western countries
B、are less spiritually aware than people in Western countries
C、would like to be more spiritual
D、are becoming less spiritual
答案
D
解析
观点态度题。根据倒数第二段首句可知,极力发展经济的中国正面临失去西方国家要重新获得的东西。故D 为答案。本段中不存在东西方的比较,所以A 和B 可以排除。C 与本段内容正好相反。
