•游客或者移民都具备经济利益和价值（commercialinterestandeconomicvalue）；

而外同人的停留时间是和东道国的合作密切相关的（Thelengthofstaydependsonthecooperationofthehostsociety.）;

很多当地人因此表现得非常好客和友好，这有助于文化的交流（Manylocalpeopleareveryfriendlyandhospitable,whichpromotetheculturalcommunications.）；

•对其他的文化和人民更为了解（abetterunderstandingofotherculturesandotherpeoples）,改变人们对其他民族和文化的态度（alterone'

sattitudestowardsanotherpeopleorculture）;

人们因此可以接受不同的文化和价值观（embracedifferentvaluesandcultures）,可以和平共处（createmotivationtocoexistpeacefully）,并促进对"

多元文化的理解（promotemulti-culturalunderstanding）；

•促进文化的融合（promoteintegration）,消除文化障碍（removeculturalbarriers）,外来人口的增加导致冲突：

•违反当地的习俗会激怒当地人（breachoflocalcustomscanirritatethelocals）;

•不同文化的人看待同一事物总有不同的角度（harbourdifferentperceptions）,并给予不同的解释（differentinterpretations），比如对手势、衣服、言行举止有不同的理解；

举止不当会引起当地人意想不到的反应（provokeunanticipatedresponses）;

•外国游客增多会对当地环境造成压力，甚至破坏环境，而移民增多可能导致工作机会减少，致使竞争更加激烈，这些都有可能引起当地人的反感（causeresentmentinlocalcommunities）.

Wheninternationalmedia（includingmovies,fashionshows,advertisementsandotherTVprograms）conveythesamemessagestotheglobalaudience,peoplearguethattheexpansionofinternationalmediahasnegativeimpactsonculturaldiversity.Whatisyouropinion?

媒体信息一致的缺点：

•国际媒体（globalmedia）—般掌握在少数几个有实力的机构手中（inthehandsofafew,large,powerfulorganizations）；

有了媒体的宣传（propaganda）后,西方文化成了主流（domineeringforce）,大规模的、有吸引力的广告（massseductiveadvertising）唤起了落后地区人们对物质新的向往（createfreshdesires）,经济联系增强（strongeconomicties）,西方产品取代了本地产品，使人们更加向往西方的文化；

•文化开始融合在一起（mingle）,人们被新的价值观所围绕（bombardedwithnewvalues），对自己的文化失去信心和自豪感（confidenceandpride）,拒绝接受自己的文化传统（rejectionoftheirculturalheritage）转而接受西方的文化习惯（adoptionofWesternculturalpractices）;

西方媒体削弱了民族的特征（ethnicidentity）和社会的凝聚力（socialcohesion）;

因为担心失去观众（alossofviewers）,当地的电视台也开始播放西方的电视节目（televisionshows）,

•国际媒体的普遍会降低世界文化的品质和多样性（degradethequalityanddiversityofworldculture）;

文化被商业化（commercialized）,—些文化产品（culturalgoods）,如音乐、服装，都变成了商品（commoditiesinthemarketplace）。

因此，即便一些文化在世界其他地方传播，它原来的性质（authenticity）已经丧失。

媒体信息一致的优点：

•国家之间的频繁交往会促进文化之间的交流。

因此，相互了解和相互认同的可能性（likelihoodofmutualunderstandingandmutualacceptance）就会增加，这是顺应全球化的趋势；

•未必一定放弃传统观念（notnecessarilyleadtotheabolitionoftraditionalvalues）,事实上媒体可以起到宣传和稳固传统文化的作用；

•主流媒体一般都会反应文化多元性（Thedominantmediareflectculturaldiversity.）;

—些外国节目其实促进了文化多元性（Mostforeignprogrammingispromotingculturaldiversity.）,适应了当地的条件（adapttolocalconditions），注意到了当地文化的敏感性（awareofculturalsensitivity）.自我调节来适应市场（exerciseself-censorshiptosuitthemarket:

）。

Thereisadisagreementontheimpactofincreasedbusinessandculturecontactbetweencountriesonacountry'

sidentity.Whatisyouropinion?

商业和文化的接触增多会导致一个国家特征的丧失：

•影响文化：

文化不是静态的，而是动态的（notstatic,butdynamic）；

—种文化的改变主要是由于社会环境（socialenvironment）发生了变化。

比如说，人们的饮食习惯发生了改变，这是学习夕卜界文化的结果（People'

seatinghabitshavebeenchangedastheresultoflearnedbehaviour.）；

快餐文化源自美国，有些人将此作为财富的象征（symbolsofwealth）,从而喜欢快餐；

另外，本地的饮食文化会改变，以适应外国人的口味（suitthetastesofv
