GRE寫作思路解析及提綱:
6、文化是一個(gè)廣義的綜合的概念,人、事、物都可以一定程度上反映當(dāng)代的文化
1、青少年是社會(huì)的重要組成部分,其潮流一定程度上反映當(dāng)代的文化
例如:青少年愛吃 fast food,反映社會(huì)節(jié)奏的加快;青少年愛好 internet,反映現(xiàn)代網(wǎng)絡(luò)文化的發(fā)展和
globalization,stars in entertainment and sports
2、但是還有其他的途徑了解當(dāng)代文化,通過成年人和老年人了解文化;通過節(jié)日和傳統(tǒng)可以了解到當(dāng)代文化;通過
重大事件也可以了解到當(dāng)代文化;此外,通過人口的組成也可以了解到當(dāng)代文化。比如美國(guó)是個(gè)多民族的國(guó)家,自
由開放。
3、總結(jié),有多種途徑都能在反映當(dāng)代文化的某一側(cè)面,不能強(qiáng)調(diào)哪個(gè)是有效的,如果割裂開來,僅僅看到的是當(dāng)
代文化的一個(gè)方面,應(yīng)當(dāng)結(jié)合起來。只看 youth 只了解他們的文化
6T 個(gè)體和整體 問題解答 "The most effective way to understand contemporary culture is to analyze the
trends of its youth." 6了解當(dāng)代文化有效途徑是分析其年青人的趨勢(shì)和潮流。"
① 年輕人更容易接受新事物,同時(shí)更張揚(yáng),會(huì)將他們的喜好宣揚(yáng)出來,更易形成社會(huì)潮流。如:Fashion 基本為
年輕人引導(dǎo)。
② 年輕人也在傳統(tǒng)文化中長(zhǎng)大,身上也有傳統(tǒng)文化的影子。如: 對(duì)于傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值觀的倚賴。
③ 不一定為 the most。還可以觀察大眾媒體,由于大眾媒體追求的是利潤(rùn),必然 cater to the public’s interests.
④ 歷史等因素也可影響文化。要深刻理解,還是要追溯歷史。如:Thanksgiving Day. 初的美國(guó)人,不適應(yīng)美
國(guó)環(huán)境,受印第安人幫助生存下來。印第安人送來生活必需品,并教會(huì)他們?nèi)绾卧谶@片土地上耕作。第二年獲得
大豐收,與印第安人共享佳肴。當(dāng)時(shí)常食用的火雞(turkey)今天成為節(jié)日特色。
We always regard youth as the future of the society. Although they are young, fresh and immature, 10
they are also shrewd, full of passion and vitality.
Actually, studying the trends of a country's youth, may help to understand its contemporary culture,
since that youth is the pioneer of a country, in this sense, they mirrors the development of the country.
Since youth is only a fraction of the society, studying them and their culture just provide us one
perspective of the whole culture.
In my view, compare with the youth, those conventions and traditions constitute the foundation of the
contemporary culture.
