Cultural diversity is a social reality. It cannot be changed at will by our subjective wishes. Everything that exists has its rationality and the reasons that support its existence. Let me give you some popular science about cultural diversity.
Introduction to cultural diversity
Every culture has its social history and realistic basis for existence. In addition to spiritual phenomena, culture in a broad sense also includes more objective material phenomena. Although the material world is a unified whole, unity contains opposition, and opposition is more concrete, while unity is more abstract. Abstract unity is more difficult to grasp in our thinking than concrete opposition. The integration of the world will allow us to clearly see the diversity of cultures. Only rationality can find the root of unity. As the saying goes: "The golden mean, too much is not enough". In fact, before the world was integrated, cultural diversity existed, but it just did not enter the field of vision of most of us. Likewise, in the integration of the world, it is difficult for most of us to find unity in cultural diversity. Unity always exists, but the degree of unity will vary with development. Unification is a development process. Development has no end and is an infinitely continuous process. Likewise, unification is an infinitely ongoing process. The homogenization of culture is only a development direction, and it is also a goal that can never be achieved. The definition of cultural diversity
The so-called cultural diversity means that in the process of social development, a country or a nation, on the basis of inheriting the excellent culture of its own nation, incorporates the excellent cultures of other countries or nations, so as to Create a harmonious social atmosphere in which a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, with domestic or ethnic culture as the mainstay and foreign culture as the supplement. In the words of Mr. Fei Xiaotong: "Everyone appreciates his own beauty, beauty is beautiful, beauty is the same, and the world is unified." To put it more simply, you can also use a famous saying of Confucius contained in "The Analects of Confucius": "Harmony and harmony" different?. Characteristics of Cultural Diversity
Diversity
Diversity means that all cultures have equal rights to survival and development space, and they should be equal to each other* **, harmonious development. It is the value pursuit and basic characteristic of cultural pluralism, as well as the inherent law and inherent requirement of cultural development. Economic globalization is the foundation and prerequisite for cultural diversity. Since the 1980s, with the continuous development of economic globalization, world cultural diversification has become a historical development trend; the convenience of communication between people of all ethnic groups and the unique one-sidedness of the Internet brought by the information network era have inspired and enhanced People’s national consciousness and sense of identity with national culture. In addition, because each national culture has advantages that other cultures do not have, the diverse existence of cultures provides conditions for mutual exchanges and learning from each other's strengths. The process of mutual development and prosperity has given rise to interdependent nature, thus forming a colorful and charming human cultural landscape.
Harmony without difference
This is a famous saying of Confucius contained in "The Analects of Confucius". This idea holds that various cultures and nationalities in the world should be harmonious but not identical, different but not conflicting with each other; harmonious in order to facilitate the growth and development of each other, and "different" in order to complement each other. According to this idea, various cultures in the world should learn from each other's strengths in peaceful competition and develop together while seeking common ground while reserving differences. Because every culture is a basic symbol of a nation, it contains a nation’s unique values ??and behaviors, and embodies the spiritual essence of a nation. Belinsky pointed out that the more national the country is, the more it is the world. Marx once pointed out: "Every nation throughout the ages has been superior to other nations in some aspects."
Integration and innovation
In the process of cultural diversification, multiple cultures in the same era and in the same cultural system each have distinctive national characteristics, but various cultures are different from each other. It is a fusion of constant communication and interaction. Fusion is me in you and you in me.
This is not only an inevitable requirement for the harmonious development of society and culture, but also an objective reality of world development.
