Globalization And The Coexistence Of Multi-culture

Economy globalization is an unarguable fact now. Frequent economy intercourse results in collision of different culture. Due to separate developing environment, different culture formed different characteristics. There is much difference between every culture in system, material and even in the core values. But western countries, which are led by the United States, and because of their economy advantages, thought that western values can be applied to every ethnic country.As a matter of fact, when we look at the human developing history, because the extend of human intercourse and the deepening culture communication, the collision between different culture has become more and more remarkable. Some western scholars have already realized the culture collision problem in the international communication. One of the representational theories is Samuel P. Huntington's"the clash of civilization". At the same time, some culture monistic theories emerged; they thought the globalization of economy can lead into the homogeneity of different culture. Tomlinson's"cultural imperialism"and Fukuyama's"the end of the history"are the two major representations of culture monistic theories. All of these thoughts magnified the difference between every culture and overlooked the universality of culture.The paper discusses the collision of culture and analyses the difference between cultures is not an obstacle to the coexistence of them. And the diversity of culture is beneficial to humankind's development. The coexistence of multi-culture is critical to the existence of human being.
