Not really , sometimes the people accepts other sorts of cultures from other places and sometimes they do not accept the cultures.
ReplyDeleteChina would be one example . The Chinese accepted the fact that the people in other countries like cheap labor , so the Chinese people used the cheap labor idea to attract other countries to build factories in China.
And because the product would sell at the same price as something that is built on other countries ,more factories wil be in China.
While many years ago in Japan , when the americans started selling their things ,which means another culture's products were sold in japan, the people were very angry about it because the Japanese were very proud of their product which is the reason for the conflict soon after that, and then the king was very ashamed of the decision ,and he was out of the kings position soon after.
so the culture can sometimes be accepted by people but sometimes it doesn't get accepted.It depends to what the people thinks about the culture . And do the people accept the culture
and not hate the culture.

ReplyDeleteWhen two cultures come across and interact with each other, it may not necessarily result in conflict. For example, the influx of western food culture has not annihilated the local food culture of China because the food culture of China has very long history. Although there are many western restaurants in Hong Kong or China, the people are still mostly going to the local Chinese restaurants. However, some people will go to western restaurants. Also, some Chinese people think that the foods of western restaurants are not healthy, so the people who are attaching importance to the health will not choose the western restaurants. Also, there is a western coffee shop in the Forbidden City. I think it is the fusion of the local Chinese culture and the western culture. From the above example, it means that when two cultures come across and interact with each other, it may not necessarily result in conflict.
On the other hand, when two cultures come across and interact with each other, it may also necessarily result in conflict. For example, the French culture and the British culture always have conflicts. However, the British writers like to use the French culture as the theme of the book and the British people like to read those book. In medieval Europe, the British King and the French King want to solve the long-term stability through marriage problems, but the result is leading to the Hundred Years War. From the above example, it means that when two cultures come across and interact with each other, it may also necessarily result in conflict.
Overall, when two cultures come across and interact with each other, it may or may not necessarily result in conflict.
When two cultures come across and interact with each other does it necessarily result in conflict? I don't think so.I don't think it necessarily result in conflict,but I can say it sometimes happened in history. I think conflict or not is really depending on the leader of the countries or the situation by the case.
ReplyDeleteAs a affirmative side, for example, Qin Shi Huang of Chin Dynasty , he didn't let people to read and write their own local languages.He established only one format of writing to let people use in China.Also he established mesuring unit. They were all for unification of China.
So conflict or denied other culture sometimes happened in history, and it might be necessary in that case.
On the other hand,in ancient Roma,the empire had a lot of territories or colonies outside Rome,however the king of Roman Empire didn't force people in colonies to speak Roman. After colonized by Roman, people still could use their local language and kept their culture.Roman thought it was good for Rome.It is totally opposite event compared with Qin Shi Huang of China. Without establish one lunguage ,Roman still ruled the country and had a lot of colonies and great time.
So I think it really depends on the leader or the situation to have result in conflict or not .And seeing Roman case,I don't think it necessarily result in conflict.
When two cultures come across and interact with each other sometime will not necessarily result in conflict. It is because everything have the special thing.It thing in other thing we can not see it.
ReplyDeleteLike the western food restaurants and western food restaurants in Hong Kong but they are not necessarily result in conflict.Because western food and do not replace china food in Hong Kong. It is because the fusion of the local China culture and the Western culture. On this example we can see when two cultures come across will not necessarily result in conflict.
Other example, the monk Believe Buddha so they not eat meat. They must eat Vegetables.And they always reading Scripture.They live in temple. We not reading Scripture and not live in the temple, but eat meat and Vegetables.
In the world have a lot of temple.but them’s Culture come across us, and interact with each other, in the final can not necessarily result in conflict. So that When two cultures come across and interact with each other sometime will not necessarily result in conflict.
In the end of write this Essay I find all cultures when they come across must not necessarily result in conflict.

ReplyDeleteIt is common that when two cultures come across and interact with each other will end up in war or conflict. Most rulers want to be the greatest king and rule the whole world forever. So, when those rulers have defeated others, they will destroy the culture of the defeated enemies. Because of that, the fallen may rebel against the Empire who have defeated theirs. Therefore the winner Empire may not conquer the defeated Empire for a long time. It is a very important thing to understand why empires may not rule other empires for a long time.
However, sometimes when two cultures come across and interact with each other it does not necessarily result in a conflict between them since the ruler can accept the culture of others and sometimes respects that culture. An example of that can be traced back to a very ancient place called Persia. There was once a ruler called Cyrus the great who respected and tolerated every culture, even the ones from the country who he defeated. We know that because in some cuneiform writing it says that Cyrus the Great has ruled in a fair way. So, I think that when two cultures come across and interact with each other, it may not be necessarily result in conflict.
To conclude, Empires with good Kings usually rule others for a longer time since people will rebel lesser because the king accepts their culture and will not destroy their culture. So there will be more peace in the Empire. However, if empires have kings that will not accept other’s culture, people will rebel against the King.
I agree with two cultures come across and interact with each other may result in conflict because two different countries people have different language, different culture and different life style.
ReplyDeleteQing dynasty defeated Ming dynasty. They could not use marriage to integrate the relationship of Han people and Manchu people. And Manchu people forced Han people to follow their culture for example clothing, change the hair style etc. So there were many rebellions by the Han people, such as Taiping Rebellion against the Manchu rule. This is the conflict of the Han people and Qing Dynasty.
From 1841, Hong Kong was governed by British until 1997. Therefore many culture of Hong Kong was affected by England. The food style of England and Hong Kong can interact until now. For example the restaurants in Hong Kong have China food and Western food. We have buffet, high tea, salad ,sand witches etc. Now, we can find many kind of Western food easily in Hong Kong. It shows the culture of England and Hong Kong is integrated.
