Chapter 7  Cultural Patterns

Chapter Lead-in:

    文化是一个宏观的整体，但学习文化的过程往往要求人们将文化分成不同的部分，在这一过程中，人们必须意识到“文化模式”的存在。“文化模式”是指生活在一定的民族和社会中的人们长期适应、共同遵守一种独特的文化规则，从而所表现出来的价值取向、行为模式、心理趋向等一整套文化系统。西方的学者通过研究和实证从不同角度概括了文化模式的内容，这其中就包括霍尔的高语境-低语境文化模式区分，克拉克洪的五个价值取向理论以及霍夫斯代德的四对文化维度分析。本章将通过阐述这三种文化模式的内容和意义来对不同文化的信仰、价值观、规则和行为模式进行具体的描述。

Learning Objectives:

In this chapter, students will learn how to:

  • understand the definitions of cultural patterns.

  • describe the components of cultural patterns.

  • summarize the theory about cultural patterns.

  • evaluate the importance of cultural patterns.
