Discussion Topic 1: Linguistic Hegemony and Cultural Diversity - Does the Global Influence of English Mean Cultural Homogenization?
Core Points of Consideration:
The text mentions that the global expansion of English serves both as a tool for globalization and as an embodiment of American cultural hegemony. Considering China's actual situation, how do you think the international dissemination of the Chinese language (such as through Confucius Institutes and language cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative) should balance the relationship between "cultural output" and "respect for diversity"?
Does the success of English mainly rely on historical colonial expansion and the political and economic power of the United States in contemporary times? If so, when China is enhancing the international influence of the Chinese language, how should it avoid repeating the mistakes of "linguistic hegemony" and instead aim for "mutual learning among civilizations"?
At the individual level, when you are learning English or using English, do you feel the impact on your native language culture? Does this impact necessarily lead to a crisis of cultural identity? How can one integrate into global conversations through language learning while still adhering to one's local cultural identity?
作业:作文-Linguistic Hegemony and Cultural Diversity: How Can the International Dissemination of Chinese Achieve Mutual Learning Among Civilizations?
结构要求:
Introduction: Briefly introduce the global influence of English and its impact on cultural diversity.
Main Body:
Discuss whether the global expansion of English has led to cultural homogenization.
Combining with China's actual situation, discuss how the international dissemination of Chinese (such as Confucius Institutes and language cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative) should balance the relationship between "cultural output" and "respect for diversity".
Explore whether the success of English mainly depends on historical colonial expansion and the political and economic strength of the contemporary United States.
Discuss how China should avoid repeating the mistakes of "linguistic hegemony" and aim for "mutual learning among civilizations" when enhancing the international influence of the Chinese language.
From an individual perspective, discuss whether you feel the impact on your native language culture when learning and using English, whether this impact necessarily brings about a crisis of cultural identity, and how to integrate into global conversations through language learning while still adhering to your local cultural identity.
Conclusion: Summarize the relationship between linguistic hegemony and cultural diversity, and put forward suggestions at the individual or social level.
Discussion Topic 2: The Rise and Fall of Languages and the Fate of Nations - How Can Chinese Achieve a "Rise Against the Trend" in the Narrow Gaps of Globalization?
Core Points of Consideration:
The text points out that "the survival of a language is directly related to the power of its users." Does the improvement of China's comprehensive national strength necessarily drive Chinese to become the "second most widely used global language"? What kind of proactive institutional and cultural support is needed behind this "necessity"? (Such as in aspects of science and technology, film and television, and the right to speak in international organizations.)
Many countries (such as France and Poland) protect their native languages from the erosion of English through legislation. Does China need to take measures at the legal or educational level to prevent the "excessive Anglicization" of Chinese (such as the mixture of Internet buzzwords)? How can we find a balance between language standardization and innovative vitality?
In the face of the decline in multilingual proficiency among native English speakers (such as the British and American students mentioned in the text), how can Chinese youth avoid falling into the "single dependence on English" in the global competition, and instead build cross-cultural capabilities with Chinese as the root and multiple languages as the wings?
