In the 1990s, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the collapse of Eastern Europe resulted in the disappearance of the so-called socialist camp. The Western world was delighted for a while. A man named Fukuyama wrote a book, "The End of History." He said that the history of mankind has been developed, capitalism has ruled the world, and the world has formed a pattern of cultural unification. The capitalist way of thinking and behavior has been A global victory. So take this wedge machine to promote globalization. So what does the "globalization" advocated by the United States bring to the world? The words of Henry Kissinger were clear again. Henry Kissinger was a bourgeois politician. He could not fail to safeguard the interests of the bourgeoisie, which is dominant in capitalist society. But he also had to admit: "Globalization is a good thing for the United States and bad for other countries. ...because it deepens the gap between the rich and the poor." If we still have an unrealistic understanding of today's American-style globalization, it's not that we are narcissistic or we don't have it. While we marvel at the magical development of the world economy, let us not forget that the sum of the wealth of the three richest families in the world is more than the annual income of the 600 million people in the world’s least developed countries; when we praise high technology While mankind brings about modern civilization, don't forget that the Gulf War and the Kosovo War at the end of the 20th century left hard-to-cure sequelae for humanity; when we cheered on the convenience of the Internet, don’t forget to buy a computer in the United States. It takes a month's salary, and in Bangladesh, it will cost eight years of savings... The limited resources on the earth and the inflated possessiveness of the few people cannot make humans become Wall Street bosses.
Therefore, insightful people in capitalist society began to reflect on the value system of globalization. A U.S. author named William Pfaff wrote an article in the United States’ International Herald Tribune. He said: “The values ​​of globalization are totally dematerialized. Its proponents use the accumulation of wealth as the basis for measuring progress. The ultimate goal of economic behavior and human work, as well as the definition of human behavior, is attributed to the return of investors. That is to say, from this we can talk about other interests. This selfish thinking has risen to economic principles." At the same time, Jeremy Rifkin, who served as a consultant to several U.S. presidents, also told reporters: “Every time, our lives can become a source of money and business. This is a challenge and it is destined. Can we live in this way? Is this our dream?†said Grasse, a French writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999. “With the advent of the 21st century, the capitalist world is interested, but only at its fastest. To earn a lot of money.†This is the day and tomorrow of globalization that America advocates.
When talking about the issue of globalization and nationalization, Mr. Shao Dazhao also has a sober analysis. He said: In the 21st century, mankind has many problems and there are many common difficulties. Globalization is actually a universal principle. On the one hand, in addition to the scientific and technological community, the literary world will also face this general trend. On the other hand, all ethnic groups have to find roots, and they must also tap their own cultural traditions. He added: Now that there is a misunderstanding in understanding, it seems that the same road has to be followed when the world is about to go, and the same choice must be made. In fact, this choice is the Western choice, in the final analysis is the choice of the United States. In addition to emphasizing economic globalization, the United States also emphasizes the globalization of culture and art. Its essence is to promote the American culture and arts and promote the American cultural values. Europe has resisted this. To recognize the principle of universalization, we must also recognize the principle of difference. If literature and art do not have ethnic differences, then globalization cannot be said because the difference and individuality of ethnic cultures are the characteristics of all ethnic groups. Globalization is to emphasize the inclusion and inclusion of differences and individuality of various nationalities. . Judging from the stage of human literary development, the 20th century is an era in which the realism and Western modernism are opposite and opposite, and it is also an era when socialist realism has become mainstream.
It is true that the global economy has been brought about by the rapid development and popularization of modern science and technology. It is the continuous expansion of the need for product sales and driving the bourgeoisie around the globe. It has to settle everywhere, start businesses everywhere, and establish contacts everywhere. "What's brought, this is something we can't avoid." In fact, there is no need to avoid the fact that the capitalist alliance of the bourgeoisie built around the world is also contributing to the uniting of the proletariat all over the world! This Marxist prophecy, in today's economic globalization, who can say that it is out of date? ! The globalization of the economy does not mean the capitalization of the global economy. If that is the case, the “Anshan Iron and Steel Constitutionâ€, created by the Chinese and possessing the nature of socialist public ownership, will not become a learning model for many famous Japanese companies, and capitalism will not learn what workers are involved in the management of socialism. Employee stock ownership, social welfare system and so on. The globalization of the economy does not mean the globalization of the world. If that is the case, European society will not boycott the globalization of Americans, and there will be no people in all parts of the world to solve problems and the country will be independent.
According to the Marxist view of globalization, globalization is not an artificial force of a certain class, a political group, or a country, but an inevitable social development. Since it is an inevitable social development, then it cannot be all-sided, unilateral, and monolithic, but it should be multi-tone, multilateral, and pluralistic. Globalization in this sense is the globalization in the true sense. It is united and integrated. Taking culture and art as an example, those cultures and arts accepted by the overwhelming majority of human beings, which represent the whole world civilization, can naturally become integrated. This is the concept of "reunification"; and those things that have still become a certain ethnic group, a certain regional cultural and artistic characteristics, and are accepted and inherited by local races and ethnic groups naturally will remain. This is the concept of "points." We must soberly realize that as long as there are still different races, different nationalities, and different regions in the world, this relationship between humanity and commonness will always exist. This point is not based on the will of the people.
Take our Chinese culture as an example. China is a large family of dozens of ethnic groups. Through thousands of years of development, we have continued to fuse and evolve and eventually formed a Chinese culture recognized by all ethnic groups in China. However, it is not because everyone agrees with the Chinese nation’s culture that it rejects or denies the individual culture and arts of all ethnic groups. On the contrary, this ancient imperial Chinese Empire has not only learned and learned from each other's culture and art, but also has coexisted for a long time. The famous Tibetan painter Nima Zeren, who is the Panchen painter named after the 10th Panchen Lama, has achieved remarkable achievements in the innovation and research of the new Tibetan painting. He has won many awards and is considered to be an outstanding contribution to the world culture. . British Cambridge and the American International Character Biography Center selected him as "The World's Most Famous 500 Persons" and "Twentieth Century's Most Contributions to Character Biography" and awarded the gold medal; in 1994, the British government of Liverpool granted him " “International Outstanding Artist†medal; in 1999, the city of Bartruchi, Louisiana awarded him the “Honorable Mayor†certificate and asked him to personally raise the flag of the People's Republic of China in front of the city government. In Nima Zeren's works, we see the charm of the Chinese nation's culture, as well as the shadows of Western modern art. His masterpieces are Yuan Fanrui and Maps, Snowy Lands, and Herding Horses. It embodies the overall style of integration of Tibetan and Han ethnic cultures and Western modern art. It is full of imaginative thoughts, evokes solemn religious feelings, and profoundly portrays Tibetan people's mystical perception of the world. However, when you look at his paintings, you immediately feel that it is Tibetan art. In the personality of Tibetan national art, the commonality of the Chinese nation is involved. Regarding this philosophical proposition, Comrade Mao Zedong had an incisive exposition. He said: "This kind of commonality is contained in all personalities. There is no commonality without personality. If we remove all individuality, what is the commonality?" Culture and art, and the culture and arts of various ethnic groups in China, are the reflection of this objective law.
We can make some assumptions. If there are only Americans in the world and only American culture and art, then can Americans still exist? Can American culture and art also call it American culture and art? In fact, the globalization advocated by the Americans, that is, Americanization, essentially promotes everything, including political, economic, cultural, and other aspects, which is contrary to the objective laws of the development of things. Therefore, we say that in the true sense of globalization, globalization should be included in the diversity of the world. With this diversification, you will have the integration of you. Without this, there will be no integration of you.
To sum up, the definition of globalization should be the global integration in diversification. It is a process of mutual reference and mutual integration of civilizations and arts of all races, nations, and nations in the world. Our understanding of globalization needs special recognition.
