答案 Globalisation creates conditions for widening international exchanges and strengthening mutual understanding between nations. It expands cultural, educational, and scientific cooperation between countries. It encourages the process of modernisation and the enrichment of national culture. However, I believe the disadvantages of this outweigh its advantages. Globalisation creates the possible clanger of diminishing the national culture and exerts a negative impact on the preservation of national identity. Through globalisation and an open door policy, erroneous concepts and a lowering of ethical standards, a selfish and individualistic lifestyle and harmful cultural products can easily be imported into the country. At present, modern information technology which in the main is controlled by US is hourly and intensively disseminating US ideology, way of life, and culture across the world. Even US food is promoted so that some people consider globalisation as global Americanisation. During the process of economic globalisation, inequality between developed and developing countries has been increasing and the gap between the rich and the poor has become wider. Globalisation goes to assist developed countries. Globalisation does not pose equal interests and risks to all nations. With an overwhelming advantage compared with most of the developing countries in terms of finance and the level of science and technology, developed capitalist countries control the situation of economic globalisation. For these reasons, globalisation is a fierce and complicated struggle in both cultural and ideological fields. As the proverb says, fire is a good servant, but a bad master. We take the initiative in international economic integration but also have to take the initiative in fighting to prevent our distinct culture from cross-bred phenomena.
