对文化的历史性和社会性的思考

文化是流动和扩大的,有变化也有创新,个人可以是一种文化的载体,在文化的不断创新中成为变体,经个人进入集体创造成为了社会的共识,使文化有了社会性。文化如果不为社会所接受就很难保留下来。文化自觉是一个艰巨的过程,首先要认识自己的文化,理解所接触到的多种文化,才有条件在当今多元文化的世界里确立自己的位置。

Reflections on the Historical and Social Characteristics of Culture

Culture is actually changing and expanding. An individual can be the carrier of a certain culture and thus becomes the variant of the culture with its development. Culture, because of the individuals, is involved in the group work to become social agreement so that culture has taken the social features. If denied by a society, culture will not survive. Cultural consciousness is an arduous process. It is thus very important to get to know one's own culture and understand other cultures, which is the premise to the determination of one's position in the multi-cultural pattern of the present world.
