If I have the opportunity to redefine the culture, I believe it will be “fantastic melting pot”.
What is the melting pot? We can learn from Wikipedia that “The melting pot is a metaphor for a heterogeneous society becoming more homogeneous, the different elements "melting together" into a harmonious whole with a common culture. It is particularly used to describe the assimilation of immigrants to the United States”. And a large number of great inventions made from a fantastic melting pot, like Marie Curie found Po and Ra. And I think the culture have the same function. So I guess American culture is a greatest invention in the world, American culture like fantastic melting pot which contained variety of cultures. Meanwhile, their culture makes them enjoy the different life. In fact, China is also a fantastic melting pot, our country has ancient culture which affect world thousands years. At same time, the cultures from other countries give us profound impacts. Especially, in the present age, the human race is attracted by different culture to contact and communicate with each other which makes the world just like a fantastic village.
Culture is a fantastic melting pot which creating a fantastic future life.
It like your definition of culture, and I like the Chinese culture too.
回复删除Comparing culture to a melting pot is an interesting thought. Just as important and useful things have come from melting pots, so too has culture brought good "products" to the rest of the world. Interesting way to look at it Jay!
回复删除I do agree with you that Chinese culture affected the world. If you take a look at Thailand, you'll see many similarities between Thai and Chinese culture.
