The ever-developing air travel and telecommunication technology in the 20th century created enormous momentum for contacts across the globe. Now, even the remote island of Tahiti in the south Pacific is expected to welcome thousands of holidaymakers in its busiest season and the local residents can make a fortune from it. This is symbolic of the internationally fast growing tourism and business resulting from the increased global communication. This development produces some positive effects, in the sense that people van make contact with those from varying cultures and be more informed about the world, and that for underdeveloped societies, their residents will have the opportunity to learn sophisticated business experience, with the many managers sent to these areas by multinational companies.
20世纪不断发展的航空旅行和通讯技术为全球范围内的接触创造了巨大的动力。现在,即使是位于南太平洋的塔希提岛,预计也会在最繁忙的季节迎来成千上万的游客,当地居民也可以从中获得一笔财富。这是全球快速增长的旅游和商业的象征,因为全球交流的增加。这种发展产生一些积极的影响,在某种意义上,凡接触来自不同文化背景的人更了解世界,和不发达的社会,他们的居民将有机会学习复杂的商业经验,许多经理发送到这些地区的跨国公司。
But societies will not necessarily benefit from this change, due to the risk of losing integrity. In comparisons with their looks decades ago when they were still untouched, many places have become less distinctive. To cater to foreign travelers, those places had to take on a commercially appealing appearance , with the result that their original features are largely or even totally missing.
但是,由于失去诚信的风险,社会并不一定会从中受益。与几十年前他们还未被触及的外表相比,许多地方已经变得不那么独特了。为了迎合外国游客的需要,这些地方不得不进行商业上的吸引人的外观,结果是他们的原始特征大部分甚至完全消失了。
In addition, the chief aim of the representatives of foreign companies is not to share experience with local staff but to make profits for the parent companies. In most cases, their attempt is to assign local societies with specific roles like resources suppliers and product importers. This means that the inhabitants there would not be able to decide what to produce and by for their own sake. It would lead to the lack of independence and these societies would be rather vulnerable to economic crisis.
此外,外国公司代表的主要目标不是与当地员工分享经验,而是为母公司赚取利润。在大多数情况下,他们的尝试是给当地社会分配特定的角色,比如资源供应商和产品进口商。这意味着那里的居民将无法决定生产什么,为了他们自己的利益。这将导致缺乏独立性,而这些社会将更容易受到经济危机的影响。
Therefore, I cannot totally support the position that closer contact with people from other countries is beneficial since it can also cause damages to societies both culturally and economically.
因此,我不能完全支持这样一个立场,即与来自其他国家的人进行更密切的接触是有益的,因为它也会对文化和经济上的社会造成损害。
