GRE Issue高頻提綱——文化類
The most effective way to understand contemporary culture is to analyze the trends of its youth.
To truly understand your own culture -- no matter how you define it -- requires personal knowledge of at least one other culture, one that is distinctly different from your own.
Rituals and ceremonies help define a culture. Without them, societies or groups of people have a diminished sense of who they are.
同意前半句,反對后半句。
a) 禮節和典禮確實有助于定義一個文化,比如:中國的春節家人團聚體現著中國文化中的統一,放炮,西方國家的圣誕節,就是代表了兩種不同的文化。伊斯蘭Islamic的齋月Ramadan,A fast is held from sunrise to sunset, that is carried out during this period.成為伊斯蘭文化的象征
b) 但是禮節和典禮并不是唯一的定義文化的方面,因此也不會因為沒有這些,社會和團體就會逐漸迷失自我,因為還有很多其他的方面,比如:穿著阿拉伯人女子戴紗巾,語言,習慣中國人適用筷子chopstick而西方人用刀叉knife and fork,藝術中國的山水畫traditional Chinese painting與西方的油畫oil painting,生活方式等等。
c) 此外,有些禮節和典禮可能是不太好的方面,應該逐漸被取代,其中的很多禮節都是不太合理或者過于苛刻的,因此有時候這些禮節的消失不會不會讓社會和團體迷失自己,反而還代表著社會的一種進步。比如:古代奴隸社會時期曾經有適用活人來祭祀的儀式sacrifice,還有葬禮儀式上用活人陪葬的be buried with the dead
The true value of a civilization is reflected in its artistic creations rather than in its scientific accomplishments.
