The Impact of Globalization:

How to Deal with it?

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen:

Dawn of globalization!Our entering the WTO has quickened its steps!We’ve become the manufacturing powerhouse of the whole world!What will follow?

Exploitation? Economic invasion? Confrontation? Hostility? Not really, provided that we handle the current situation wisely.Confucius said, “The gentleman is versed in what is moral.The small man is versed in what is profitable.”

For the sake of economic reconstruction, however, we are chasing big bucks and materialism is now the name of the game.A rapid growth in GDP is accompanied by worrying moral negligence.Loyalty, sincerity, modesty and filial piety might be

cadences of the past.We have actually been losing our traditions not because of direct threats or attacks from others.Globalization is only a catalyst.You may be buying McDonald’s franchise and making a big fortune.But you don’t know, at the same time, you are not only

changing your kid’s palate but also teaching your families not to cook and becoming slack in our time-honored culinary art.There is no one escaping it: globalization is marked by sophisticated advanced technology and cheap, acceible communication methods.But ever since the May Fourth Movement, isn’t it what we have been clamoring for? But what we do not realize is that, coming from the west, it is more than just Mr.Democracy and Science, Mr.Individualism has also stealthily crept in.Being influenced by it, we’re becoming more self-centered and selfish.Paradoxically, however, our traditional culture and values teach us, to a certain extent, to start with individualism.How can you rule a country, administer a

government or even maintain a family without being able to manage yourself? So globalization is a golden opportunity for self-evaluation.It’s outrageously arrogant to think that we are the best in the world.Even if we are, we still have to be humble.This is the Chinese way.And let me talk about my experience in my hometown Hong Kong and other two international examples.British colonial rule turned Hong Kong into a multicultural metropolis, basking in Chinese and western cultures.Our preeminent need now is to find further sustenance from our mother culture to bolster a stronger local identity.Our government, so, adopted an expeditious language policy to enforce Cantonese as the medium of instruction in secondary schools, and Putonghua is expected to take its place in long-term.And for Japan, you see, her succeful Meiji modernization conserved her traditional values, and at the same time seen aimilating Western

cultures.The French, on the other hand, who are notoriously proud of their, you know, national, ethnic endowments are trying with all their might to fend off Americanism brought about by globalization.And let’s face it.There is more than one way to skin a cat.My proposition is to adopt a more proactive approach: we can serve the ball.For Macdonaldization, we can offer “dimsumisation”.To counter Disneyland, how about a “Chinese Opera Theme Park”? Don’t forget we are now a major player in the New World Order.Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Lee An, John Woo, Jackie Chan have already made their presence felt in world cinemas.Every day, in every corner of the world, non-Chinese people are practicing “Tai Chi” and “Kung Fu”.Sinology is a hot topic in major universities.And countle examples… Endowed with such excellent traditions spanning more than 5000 years, we have abundant cultural resources to offer.If we have learnt a thing or two from our British friends in brand naming theirs as a “Cultural, Creative Industry”, we can export ours to the entire world!So a new, reengineered cultural policy is the answer.Finally, let’s not forget: we university students are well educated to become the model for all to emulate.It’s our responsibility to uphold our traditional values.To return to Confucius, “A righteous man would never give up his righteousne for survival, but die for righteousne.” This is no easy task, but it’s our challenging, glorious fate.Thank you.全球化的冲击：我们何去何从？

女士们、先生们：

早上好。

全球化曙光初现了！中国加入世贸组织更是加速了全球化的进程。我们已经成为世界的制造工厂。那接下来呢？经济开发？经济入侵？对抗？敌意？——假如我们能审时度势的话，以上就不对了。

孔子曾说：“君子喻于义，小人喻于利。”

然而，为了经济复兴，我们热衷于追逐利润，功利主义成了这场游戏的代名词。伴随着国内生产总值的高速发展的是对道德修养被忽视的焦虑。忠实、诚挚、谦逊和孝顺似乎成了过时的陈词滥调。事实上，并不是外来的威胁和侵略令我们的传统逐渐消失大。

全球化仅仅是一种催化剂。你也许正计划购买麦当劳的特许经营权，打算好好赚一笔。但你没有意识到，你不仅在改变你孩子的口味，而且还告诉你的家人不必再煮饭，使他们渐渐疏于我国历史悠久的烹调艺术。、没有人能够逃避它：全球化的特色就在于其复杂先进的技术成分和低廉便利的交流方式。但这不正是自五四运动以来我们一直呼吁的吗？我们没有想到的是，来自于西方的不仅仅是“德先生”和“赛先生”，代表个人主义的“利先生”也悄悄地潜近来了。正是因为“他”，我们变得更加以自我为中心，更加自私自利。、然而矛盾的是，在某种程度上，我们的传统文化和价值观教育我们要从个人主义角度出发。一个人连自己都管不好，又怎么去统治一个国家，管理一个政府，甚至哪怕只是维持一个家庭呢？所以，全球化是一个自我评估的绝好机会。自以为我们是世界上最优秀的民族无疑是极为愚昧自大的。即使我们是，我们也要保持谦虚。这才是中国人应有的态度。

请允许我谈一下我在家乡香港的一些经验和另外两个外国的例子吧。英国在香

港的殖民统治使香港在中华文明和西方文化之间，成为了一个多元化的国际大都市。而后我们现在最迫切的需要就是从传统文化中吸取更多的养料，以增强我们的本土意识。所以，我们的政府迅速出台了一个关于语言教育的政策，在中学教育中推行广东话，并且打算让普通话在将来取代它。而在日本取得成功的明治维新运动，既保留了本国传统文化，同时也吸收了西方文化。另一方面，法国人深以本土文化为荣这一点是广为人知的。他们聚集全国与全民的力量来抵挡全球化带来的美国主义。那么就让我们勇敢地去面对吧。对待全球化，应该八仙过海，各显神通。

我的建议是采用更加主动的办法：先发制人。对付麦当劳化，我们可以推形“点心化”。对付迪斯尼，来一个“中华戏剧主题公园”怎样？不要忘了我们可是世界新秩序中重要角色。张艺谋、田壮壮、李安、吴宇森、成龙，他们已陆续出现在世界电影舞台上。每一天，在世界的任一个角落，都有外国人耍太极、打功夫。汉学自爱多所名牌大学中炙手可热。还有这样那样数不尽道不完大例子„„绵延五千年的优良传统赋予了我们极其丰富的文化资源。英国人创造了“文化产业，创造性产业”这个品牌，要是我们也能仿其一二，就能把我们的文化产品出口到全世界了！所以，一个全新的、重新考量的文化政策才是解决方法。

最后，我们不要忘记：作为受过良好教育的大学生，我们是众人仿效的对象。所以我们更有责任去维护传统价值观。让我们再回到孔子的话：“志士仁人，无求生以杀害，有杀身以成仁。”这不是件容易的事情。但，这必定是我们充满挑战的光荣使命！
