Differences between countries are becoming less evident recently. People can see the same films, brands, fashion, advertisements and TV channels. Do the disadvantages of this development outweigh the advantages? (2016-01-09A)

答案
The world today is experiencing globalisation, and more and more interdependence. Technology makes it possible for culture to be shared in a way that could not have been achieved even a few years ago. The advantages of this far outweigh the disadvantages. Much of this sharing of culture depends on the use of English, which so many people in the world learn as a second language, although the use of subtitles mitigates this. A possible disadvantage is that smaller countries’ film industries, for example, might find it difficult to compete against the better endowed bigger companies. There is also a disadvantage that the culture of smaller communities is lost.
Making people in disadvantaged parts of the world more aware of the differences between their lifestyle and that of those in richer countries can lead to discontent and economic migration, depriving those countries of the best of their population, as those who are able to move for a better life.
However, the advantages of such cultural exchange are considerable. People can understand different customs better, and know what to expect if they travel or meet people from other countries. It is easier to share expertise in all sorts of ways. An excellent example of this is the way that London theatres and the Royal Opera House film and transmit performances live to cinemas all over the world, making top class theatre or opera available, with subtitles in non-English speaking countries.
The more people meet, understand each other, and realise that all human beings are essentially interested in having a comfortable secure life, the less the chance of catastrophic wars. Easier travel and better communications, with the sharing of the things we are all interested in, help to achieve better relations. At the same time, we should celebrate and share our differences. Wales is a small country, part of the United Kingdom. It has its own language and a strong tradition of choral singing. Huge efforts have been made to preserve that language, and the male voice choirs delight audiences all over the world.
We must embrace technology, share and celebrate what we have, acknowledging difference and enjoying similarities.
