Nowadays, the cultural communication and business cooperation between countries develop in an incredible speed. This phenomenon has triggered an intensive discuss on whether it is a positive development or a negative one.
Undoubtedly, there are a series of benefit we could gain from the global communication and cooperation. For example, we could improve our technology and facilities by introducing new developed technology and facilities from other countries. we have learned from history that the lagged countries will be under the control of developed countries, while the open policy for a country no question is the most effective approach to enhance its strength. Besides that, the cooperation between companies will provide more employment opportunities for local residents; consequently, people's life quality will be ameliorated by the increase of salary. And by cultural communication, we also enrich our knowledge and broaden our horizons. There is not lack for examples to certify the advantages of keeping contact with the other countries.
However, on the other hand, there also are plenty of facts to demonstrate the disadvantages brought by the globalization phenomenon. The most obvious example is that spread of "yellow cultures", it is not difficult for us to know the serious influences, especially on teenagers. Further, as far as developing and undeveloped countries are concerned, their individuals' value attitude and consumption attitude as well as the local culture are easy to be undermined by the developed countries.
Personally, I think for this phenomenon both advantages and disadvantages are existing. What we can do is keeping the contact with other countries, but meantime, controlling the spread of negative culture. More important is that we should enhance our strength as soon as possible.
