TWINE -- Culture Shock

Recently there was a big debate about Western culture and English language learning in China. Some people believe that the more that Chinese people begin to adopt Western customs – such as celebrating Western holidays and fast foods – the more they will lose touch with traditional Chinese customs.

IN YOUR VIEW IS THE EMPHASIS ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND THE EXCITEMENT OVER “WESTERN” CUSTOMS A POTENTIAL THREAT TO CHINESE VALUES?

Bad Influence?
Why?

No

Maybe it's a good thing to understand the history of other cultures ... Just make sure to keep in touch with our own traditions.
No change in the short term; maybe over the long term
Christmas is fun, it's a bridge to communicate
I love Western culture, especially the food, clothes, music
Also love American brands like Adidas, Nike, Sony, Ericsson,
Every coin has 2 sides. Get the good out of Western culture, reject the bad; each has good and bad qualities
We follow western customs just for fun, but we honor our own traditions more
The world is a big family. We must learn from each other. Absorb the good and delete the bad

Yes
The more time we spend on English the more we ignore our own Chinese language as well as our own customs. For example, holidays.
China was once the capital of the world; there is strength in standing on your feet.
Every nation has its customs. No one wants to see their customs forgotten.
