Country Garden and Me
On the way from Panyu City to Shunde City and approaching the conjunction point of both cities, a big advertisement board of the infamous Country Garden will catch your eyes. And on the board, a lovely girl gently holds a little white pigeon.
She looks at everybody with a sweet smile. Who is this girl? Let me tell you later. Country Garden is located at the Beijao town, Shunde City of Guangdong Province. Ten years ago when my Dad and Mom took me as a baby to Guangzhou, it was a wasteland here. But what does this piece of wasteland look like nowadays? Country Garden has been developed and enlarged rapidly on the ground of this land, and a great number of high-quality houses and apartments have been built up within the garden. Over the past decade, other nine country gardens with various unique designs have been erasing around the great city of Guangzhou. The construction and management of several gardens have engaged the devoted contributions from my Dad and Mom.
Country Garden has grown up together with me, and I am one of the witnesses of its growth and development.
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then
addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
今天,大多数人认识到文化多样性,并认为它是一种内在的美。文化多样性可以被定义为个人和群体之间的差异,涉及原籍地、年龄、文化、语言和身体能力。此外,性别、阶级、宗教、职业和学术知识等因素也可以考虑。值得注意的是,群众不应该仅仅因为工作场所的多样性的范围而关注它的定义。因此,应该从各个角度解决文化多样性问题,以确保每个人都能理解文化多样性。
文化差异可以说是跨文化的一个基本组成部分。
因此,文化认同可以被描述为一种共享的象征性言语行为系统的交流认同,这种认同对于具有归属感以及共同传统、遗产、语言和类似行为规范的群体成员来说是重要的。例如,在交流过程中,不同的信息,从眼神交流到话轮转换,有时是导致跨文化冲突的因素。因此,冲突、挫折、困惑和尴尬等情感是僵化的文化交流中表现出来的情感。另一方面,族群认同是一套关于自己族群成员的自我观念。民族认同与自我认同、传统、习俗、价值观等民族文化知识以及行为有关;而且,族群认同涉及到属于一个群体的感觉。
文化多样性的利弊
文化多样性显示了广泛的复杂后果。关于积极的影响,人们有可能对其对社会的宝贵贡献产生争论。首先,从长远来看,很明显,所有的积极影响都有助于通过发展更高的创造力、创新和生产力来实现可持续的差异化。同时,文化多样性也有其缺点。文化多样性的负面影响在一个组织中可以分为不同的层次。对认知和行为水平的不利影响可能与个人有关。而在团队层面,负面影响可能会表现为沟通问题。
美国的文化多样性
根据美国人口普查局的数据,20xx年美国人口中80%是白人,16%是西班牙裔,13%是非裔,5%是亚裔,1%是美洲印第安人,0.2%是夏威夷原住民。需要注意的是,每个种族都包含不同的种族群体。大量的.少数民族人口可以归功于大量的移民人口。从地理上看,在南部和西部,有一些特定地区的总人口中有很大一部分是少数民族。值得注意的是,20xx年,近一半的西方人是少数民族。加州成为拥有2230万少数民族人口最多的州。此外,在20xx年至20xx年间,德克萨斯州加入了加州、哥伦比亚特区、夏威夷和新墨西哥州的行列,成为少数民族人口最多的州。这里50%以上的人口是少数民族。此外,对全国种族和族裔群体分布的研究表明,尽管非西班牙裔白人仍然是美国最大的主要种族和族裔群体,但其增长速度最慢。另一方面,西班牙裔和亚裔人口大规模增长,部分原因是移民水平略高。
文化多样性很重要
因此,文化是社会中个人评估周围一切的镜头。文化多样性很重要。文化使人们能够分析什么是正确的或不正确的,什么是正常的或疯狂的。值得注意的是,当一个人遇到或联想到一种不属于他的文化时,他可能会因为不同的文化而震惊或迷失方向。因此,大多数人把他们的文化作为判断其他文化的基础,从而冒着人们开始歧视他人生活方式的风险。因此对文化多样性的需求,美国作为一个国家,工作场所和学校逐渐由不同文化、种族和民族的人组成。因此,作为一个多元化的社会,我们可以相互学习,并承认我们生活的世界中的不同视角。此外,它有助于消除负面的陈规定型观念以及对不同群体的个人偏见。
总之,任何社会都应该支持文化多样性,让它成为一个更有趣的地方。当人们相互交流时,桥梁是建立在尊重和信任的基础上的。从而了解不同文化。价值观不应该强加给来自不同文化的开放的人,人们应该效仿积极主动地倾听和接受与自己想法没有不同的人。最终,每个人都应该支持这样一种观点,即每个人都可以为多元化的社会做出独特的贡献
一位父亲有几个孩子,这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们,只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的,有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时,他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中,吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试,总是不能成功。
然后他解开那捆柴,一根根地放在他们手里,如此一来,他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说:「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致,互相帮助,你们就像这捆柴一样,不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行,你们就将和这些散柴一般,不堪一折了。」

Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion."
一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去,将它从梦中吵醒。狮子生气地跳起来,捉住老鼠,要弄死它。老鼠哀求说:「只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命,我将来一定会报答你的大恩。」狮子便笑着放了它。
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住,用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。老鼠听出是狮子的`吼声,走来用牙齿咬断绳索,释放了它,并大声说:「你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙,而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了,就算是小老鼠,也能向狮子效劳的。」
