Some people think that increasing business and cultural contacts worldwide have positive influences on development; others think that they have negative effects on national identities. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

In the globalized society, the issue of increasing business and cultural

communication

worldwide has sparked considerable debate. Some contend that exposure to the

culture

of other countries too much will greatly negatively affect the acknowledgement of domestic history and

culture

. I strongly agree that increasing

communication

among countries fosters development both in personal and professional settings. Opponents show concern about the fade of national identity by exposure to increasing cultural connections as the history and

culture

of the native

country

tend to be easily forgotten by the invasion of the exterior

culture

.

For example

,

along with

the increasing exposure to Western

culture

, most young adults are more likely to celebrate Christmas

instead

of some Chinese traditional festival since some young people are obsessed with the unknown

culture

. They might know the origin of Santa but they have no idea of the origin of the Dragon festival. Proponents, as I am in favour of, hold the view that emphasizing

communication

worldwide positively cultivates development at individual, enterprise and

country

levels. At the individual level, worldwide information exchange and multiple languages

communication

improve the ability of critical thinking and academic learning. At the enterprise level, the popular trend of international trade and international companies provide more employment opportunities domestically.

Moreover

, the GDP of one

country

will

also

be fostered by increasing the economic benefits of importation and exportation.

Moreover

,

while

young people are attracted to other cultures, the root cause is the lack of propaganda of their conventional

culture

and civilization. Under positive public guidance,

such

cultural erosion will be mitigated to some extent. In conclusion,

while

increasing

communication

in business and cultural settings has some negative effects on the acknowledgement of national identity so far, the positive effect outperforms its drawbacks by improving personal and

country

development under correct guidance.
