關(guān)于中國文化的英語演講

眾所周知，功夫熊貓2所示最近，很快成為中國的熱門話題。令人驚訝的是，這家美國電影顯示了明亮的中國影像例如功夫和熊貓。這是文化的全球化的一個(gè)很好的例子。但有兩個(gè)完全不同的對(duì)待它的態(tài)度。有些人認(rèn)為它表明了中國文化的的影響越來越大。然而，其他人傾向于采取了相反的觀點(diǎn)，并把它作為本土文化資源的入侵。至于我，我傾向于采取開放的態(tài)度，對(duì)文化的全球化。我們可以促進(jìn)我們自己的文化，同時(shí)學(xué)習(xí)其他文化形式，這是對(duì)所有國家有利。最后，重要的是要注意，每一種文化都有其自身的特點(diǎn)。隨著文化的全球化趨勢(shì)不斷發(fā)展，我們應(yīng)該為我們國家的傳統(tǒng)文化的發(fā)展和蔓延負(fù)責(zé)。我的看法：在學(xué)好本土文化的前提下去學(xué)習(xí)其他國家的文化對(duì)民族文化的發(fā)展是十分有益的，學(xué)習(xí)他人的文化固然可取，但要尊重他人的名族文化形式，盡可能的保留其特點(diǎn)，我們要在中國文化全球化的基礎(chǔ)上保護(hù)好中國文化最本質(zhì)的東西，我們要對(duì)中國的民族文化的傳承與發(fā)展負(fù)責(zé)。my view of culture globalization as is known to all, kung fu panda 2 was shown recently and soon became a hot topic in china.surprisingly, this american film shows bright chinese images such as kungfu and panda.this is a good example of culture globalization.but there are two entirely different attitudes towards it.some people think it demonstrates the increasing influence of chinese culture.others, however, incline to take the opposite point of view and regard it as an invasion of native culture resources.as for me, i tend to take an open attitude towards culture globalization.we can promote our own culture and meanwhile learn form other cultures, which is beneficial to all countries.finally, it is important to note that each culture has its own characteristics.with the evolving trend of culture globalization, we should be responsible for the development and spread of our national culture tradition.篇四：美洲文化演講稿

美洲文化演講稿 自發(fā)現(xiàn)新大陸之后，美洲的文明發(fā)生了劇烈的演變，歐洲各國的殖民入侵幾乎把美洲本土的瑪雅文明和印加文明洗蕩殆盡，到了近代文化發(fā)展時(shí)期，代之以歐洲多國混合的殖民政治和殖民經(jīng)濟(jì)，并且在新大陸上發(fā)展了區(qū)別歐洲的美洲文明，所以美洲文明就歷史延續(xù)性來說，具有巨大斷裂感和跳躍性的民展特征，古代文化與近代主流文明幾乎沒有因果關(guān)聯(lián)。美洲歷史起源于原生的美洲土著人類，哥倫布發(fā)現(xiàn)新大陸后，歐洲列強(qiáng)紛至沓來，開始了對(duì)美洲的瓜分和殖民統(tǒng)治，南美主要被西班牙、葡萄牙等歐洲殖民帝國所瓜分和統(tǒng)治，北美則為英法等新生殖民帝國所瓜分，因此，南北美洲的殖民地時(shí)期的歷史文化也有很大不同。北美的代表性文明是美國文明，南美的文明則被稱為“梅斯蒂索文明”。“梅斯蒂索文明”一詞在西班葡萄牙語中意為“雜交的”。南美和北美因地理上的因素，南北文化的交融和交叉較少，其歷史文明的發(fā)展也相對(duì)比較獨(dú)立。

今天我要帶著大家進(jìn)行一次美洲之行，通過這次行程來了解南北美各自的魅力。首先，我們來看一下美洲的概況。1.自然地理；2.主要?dú)v史階段；3.人口與民族；4.文化與習(xí)俗。第二個(gè)部分呢我們將著重介紹美洲幾個(gè)國家的旅游文化景觀，跟隨我們的腳步從北一路南下吧。第一站我們將來到加拿大，加拿大盛產(chǎn)楓葉，其中以東南部的魁北克省和安大略的楓葉最多最美。加拿大楓林遍布，每到深秋楓樹葉紅如晚霞，仿佛夏日里怒放的花朵，因此加拿大被人們稱之為“楓葉之國”。加拿大人講究禮儀，主要體現(xiàn)在以下幾個(gè)方面 1服飾禮儀

在加拿大，不同的場(chǎng)合有不同的裝束，在教堂，男性著深色西裝，女士則穿莊重的衣裙。在參加婚禮時(shí)，男子或穿著西裝，或穿便裝，加拿大青年人喜愛那種體現(xiàn)現(xiàn)代生活的節(jié)奏感，使著裝者顯得瀟灑。2儀態(tài)禮儀

加拿大人在社交場(chǎng)合一般姿態(tài)比較莊重，舉止優(yōu)雅，在交談時(shí)，加拿大人會(huì)和顏悅色地向著對(duì)方。加拿大人常用兩手手指交叉置于桌上等姿態(tài)來緩和緊張氣氛或掩飾窘態(tài)。有人遇到不幸或心情不好的時(shí)候，他們一般會(huì)采用這種姿勢(shì)，這說明他們對(duì)這人的處境表示理解和同情 3相見禮儀

加拿大人在社交場(chǎng)合與客人相見時(shí)，一般都行握手禮，親吻和擁抱禮僅適合熟人，親友和情人之間。加拿大人的姓名同歐美人一樣，名在前，姓在后，他們?cè)谧鹘榻B時(shí)，一般遵循先少后長(zhǎng)，先高后低的次序。4餐飲禮儀

加拿大人在食俗上與英美人相似，由于氣候寒冷的緣故，他們養(yǎng)成了愛吃烤制食品的習(xí)慣，這是他們的獨(dú)特之處。加拿大人用刀叉進(jìn)食，極愛食用烤牛排，尤其是八成熟的嫩牛排，習(xí)慣在用餐后喝咖啡和吃水果。5喜喪禮儀

加拿大基督教徒的婚禮一般都在教堂里舉行。在結(jié)婚儀式上，牧師要為他們做禱告，新郎新娘互換戒指。加拿大人去世后，一般都要請(qǐng)牧師做彌撒，使死者的靈魂升入天堂。在葬禮上，親友要在牧師的禱告聲中撒下鮮花。6商務(wù)禮儀

在加拿大從事商務(wù)活動(dòng)，首次見面一般要先作自我介紹，在口頭介紹的同時(shí)遞上名片。加拿大人喜歡別人贊美他的衣服。在商務(wù)談判中，要集中精力，不要心不在焉，在正式談判場(chǎng)合，衣著要整齊莊重。加拿大人有較強(qiáng)的時(shí)間觀念，他們會(huì)在事前通知你參加活動(dòng)的時(shí)間。另外，由于大部分加拿大人信奉基督教新教和天主教，因此他們忌諱13和星期五，認(rèn)為它們是帶厄運(yùn)的數(shù)字。加拿大人民對(duì)自己的國家充滿了自豪感，他們反感把加拿大同美國

作比較，尤其忌諱拿美國的優(yōu)點(diǎn)來與他們相比。

現(xiàn)在我們看到的這幅圖是落基山區(qū)，這里共有7座國家公園，以冰封、冰斗、冰原等奇異的冰川地貌，神秘的高山湖泊，壯麗的峽谷飛瀑和優(yōu)質(zhì)的礦物溫泉為特色。整個(gè)落基山是縱觀北美的偉大山脈，被喻為“北美洲的脊骨”。

如果說楓葉之國領(lǐng)略的是風(fēng)俗與自然風(fēng)光，我們的下一站將會(huì)看到歷史與現(xiàn)代結(jié)合的旅游大國。美國有許多人文類旅游資源多是在獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和南北戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)時(shí)期立下的歷史遺跡或是現(xiàn)代都市文明；另外自然資源也很豐富，高山湖泊。優(yōu)美的生態(tài)環(huán)境和發(fā)達(dá)的現(xiàn)代農(nóng)業(yè)等。美國成立不過200多年，有人說它不曾有過歷史遺跡，其實(shí)不然。大都會(huì)ame教堂（美國華盛頓特區(qū)）這座維多利亞時(shí)期哥特式的紅磚建筑始建于1886年。1895年這里舉行了猶太團(tuán)體成員弗雷德里克·道格拉斯（frederick douglass）葬禮。一百年后，也是在這里舉行了羅莎·帕克斯（rosa parks)的葬禮?，F(xiàn)在該教堂已經(jīng)多年遭受水的侵蝕，部分因?yàn)楦浇こ趟?。教堂工?huì)不得不發(fā)起一項(xiàng)全國性的籌資行動(dòng)，為搶救和維護(hù)教堂提供資金。

布拉克山（肯塔基州哈爾倫縣）歷史上，上圖中的本漢鎮(zhèn)（benham）以及林奇鎮(zhèn)（lynch）曾是礦業(yè)小鎮(zhèn)，通過發(fā)展小商品經(jīng)濟(jì)以及開發(fā)歷史旅游遺跡為當(dāng)?shù)貏?chuàng)造了財(cái)富。但現(xiàn)如今，小鎮(zhèn)受到了附近布拉克山地表及深層采礦活動(dòng)的威脅。采礦活動(dòng)不僅會(huì)破壞當(dāng)?shù)氐淖匀伙L(fēng)光，也會(huì)阻礙當(dāng)?shù)芈糜螛I(yè)的進(jìn)一步發(fā)展。胡安娜·布里奧尼斯故居（美國加利福利亞洲帕羅奧圖市）這座房屋始建于1844年，由一位舊金山市的西班牙裔建造，是帕羅奧圖市最古老的建筑，位于硅谷的中心地帶。建造者胡安娜·布里奧尼斯是一位頗有開拓性精神的女性，她當(dāng)時(shí)既是大農(nóng)場(chǎng)主，又是傳統(tǒng)療法醫(yī)生和企業(yè)家。這座房屋是加利福利亞洲富有階層的西班牙和墨西哥人稀有的歷史遺存，現(xiàn)在已被遺棄，遭受風(fēng)吹雨淋，面臨毀壞的危險(xiǎn)。

跨國巴拿馬運(yùn)河，我們首先進(jìn)入的是南美最大的國家——巴西。巴西人不羞于表露感情，人們?cè)诖蠼稚仙舷嘁娨矡崃覔肀В瑹o論男女，見面和分別時(shí)都握手。婦女們相見時(shí)臉貼臉，用嘴發(fā)出接吻時(shí)的聲音，但嘴不接觸臉。和巴西商人進(jìn)行商務(wù)談判時(shí)，要準(zhǔn)時(shí)赴約。如對(duì)方遲到，那怕是1-2個(gè)小時(shí)，也應(yīng)諒解。像大部分拉美人一樣，巴西人對(duì)時(shí)間和工作的態(tài)度比較隨便。和巴西人打交道時(shí)，主人不提起工作時(shí)，你不要搶先談工作。談話時(shí)要親熱，要離得

近近的，但不要有失計(jì)策。不管那里天氣怎么熱，穿深色服裝都是適宜的。巴西人特別喜愛孩子，談話中可以夸獎(jiǎng)他的孩子。巴西的男人喜歡笑，但客人避開涉及當(dāng)?shù)孛褡逋嫘Α?duì)當(dāng)?shù)卣螁栴}最好閉口不談。

在巴西，以棕色之色，紫色表示悲傷，黃色表示絕望。他們認(rèn)為人死好比黃葉落下，所以忌諱棕黃色。人們迷信紫色會(huì)給人們來悲。另外，還認(rèn)為深咖啡色會(huì)招來不幸。所以，非常討厭。巴西有兩大景觀不得不提，即熱帶雨林和狂歡節(jié)。（看ppt）桑巴舞是狂歡節(jié)的靈魂，是巴西的國舞（桑巴品質(zhì)）巴西人性格開豪放，待人熱情而有禮貌。他們的風(fēng)俗也頗有趣。如男人喜歡在自己的胸前畫一支虎，以表示英勇?；蛘咴谛厍爱嬕恢Ъ硎咀约菏亲詈玫纳涫?。他們還把一種稀有的“金樺果”視為幸福的象征。

我們的最后一站來到了智利。智利風(fēng)俗禮儀在許多方面同西班牙人的十分近似，但又帶有當(dāng)?shù)赝林用竦孽r明特征。智利人注重禮節(jié)，熱情好客但傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗頗多，而且?guī)в忻黠@的西方人的特征。其社交習(xí)俗總的特點(diǎn)可以用這樣幾句話來概括：

南美洲的智利人，性格豁達(dá)心地純；

迎賓待客講友好，重視禮儀很熱忱；

昵愛花草野百合，鮮紅艷麗勝美神；

山鷹被譽(yù)為國鳥，象征祖國民族魂；

黑色、紫色為喪色，“十三”、“周五”忌光臨。

他們忌諱黑色和紫色。認(rèn)為這些顏色是不吉利和很喪氣的。他們送禮忌送刀劍，認(rèn)為這暗示著友情的完結(jié)。他們忌諱菊花，視菊花為“妖花”。因?yàn)榫栈ㄊ蔷传I(xiàn)死人放在靈前的，所以，在房間里是不應(yīng)擺菊花的，更不能拿菊花當(dāng)作禮花送給別人。在智利有一座地球上最孤獨(dú)的島嶼——復(fù)活節(jié)島。它獨(dú)處地球偏僻的一角，孤懸于南太平洋上，遠(yuǎn)離其他島嶼。島上石像都是由整塊的火山巖雕成的。他們一律長(zhǎng)耳、長(zhǎng)鼻、濃眉、長(zhǎng)臉，都有一雙深邃的眼睛，或陰郁，或沉思，或冷漠，或嚴(yán)肅得叫人心情壓抑。最大的一尊高10多米，頭頂上，放著一塊巨大的刻成假發(fā)形狀的紅色巨巖。這些石像環(huán)立在島的周圍，眺望著波濤滾滾的太平洋。石像奇怪的姿態(tài)和陰沉的眼神，使小島籠罩著濃厚的神秘氣氛。圣地亞哥是一座擁有400多年歷史的古城。1541年，西班牙殖民者瓦爾迪維亞率領(lǐng)150名騎兵來到這里，在位于現(xiàn)在城市中心的圣盧西亞山上修筑了西班牙在南美洲大陸上的第一座炮臺(tái)，并在山下用泥磚和草木建筑了一批原始的住宅區(qū)，這就是圣地亞哥城的雛形。1818年4月5日，經(jīng)過智利爭(zhēng)取獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中一場(chǎng)決定性戰(zhàn)役——邁普之戰(zhàn)后，圣地亞哥成為智利的首都。公元19世紀(jì)因智利發(fā)現(xiàn)銅礦并逐漸大規(guī)模開采，城市迅速得到發(fā)展。在隨后的年月里，數(shù)次遭受地震、洪水等自然災(zāi)害的破壞，市區(qū)歷史性建筑物受到嚴(yán)重毀壞。今天的圣地亞哥是一座現(xiàn)代化的城市，面積100多平方公里，人口534萬，是智利最大城市，全國政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化和交通中心。智利是世界上第三大產(chǎn)銅國，也是世界上出口銅最多的國家之一。在圣地亞哥市，人們處處都能感受到銅的存在，到處都可以看到銅的光輝 柏拉維斯塔區(qū)的波西米亞**西米亞,原意指豪放的吉卜賽人和頹廢派的文化人。然而在今年的時(shí)裝界甚至整個(gè)時(shí)尚界中，波西米亞風(fēng)格代表著一種前所未有的浪漫化，民俗化，自由化。濃烈的色彩、繁復(fù)的設(shè)計(jì)，會(huì)帶給人強(qiáng)勁的視覺沖擊和神秘氣氛—實(shí)際也是對(duì)這兩年簡(jiǎn)約風(fēng)格的最大沖擊。

巴勃羅-聶魯達(dá)故居（從外面看上去酷似一艘船，在修建時(shí)，屋主的確是仿照船和燈塔來進(jìn)行設(shè)計(jì)的，餐桌后面還有一條秘密通道，估計(jì)是主人為了躲避無趣的訪客而設(shè)）

餐廳

是一家在當(dāng)?shù)仡H受歡迎的餐廳，在這里你可以見識(shí)下傳統(tǒng)的安第斯烹飪技巧，品嘗下當(dāng)?shù)靥禺a(chǎn)智利鱈魚和

巴塔哥尼亞羊羔。手工旅游紀(jì)念品圣地亞哥城，賣手工旅游紀(jì)念品的商店和攤位多如牛毛，但如果你真想淘到“好貨”，那就非得去位于區(qū)的這家古文物商城不可，這里共容納了二十余家古董店，既有前哥倫比亞時(shí)代的藝術(shù)品，也有天主教祭壇背壁裝飾畫和銀質(zhì)相框等文物飾品。美洲文化總結(jié)

多源性：北美由于是由外來移民及后裔組成的,它的民族成分十分復(fù)雜,具有多源性.；南美 多元化：開放、創(chuàng)新

統(tǒng)一性：北美——由于英法殖民者的長(zhǎng)期統(tǒng)治和文化傳統(tǒng)的影響，因此北美的民族文化傳統(tǒng)一般是以歐洲文化成分為基礎(chǔ)，吸收古老的印第安文化成分和非洲、亞洲文化成分，經(jīng)過不斷發(fā)展與完善，最終形成的一種各民族共同文化傳統(tǒng)，表現(xiàn)出高度的統(tǒng)一性的特點(diǎn)。

第四篇：美國自然主義介紹演講稿

Opening Good afternoon everyone, I’m honored to represent my group to stand here and talk about the American Naturalism with you today.I hope you can enjoy it.We always say that literature originates from life.Naturalism is probably the most faithful one to describe the life.In the world of naturalism we can hardly enjoy ourselves.The whole picture of naturalism is somber and dark;and the general tone is hopelessness and even despair.So before we go into it there’s something that I hope you can remember about the naturalism.2 We can finds humanistic values in these naturalistic works.In the works there is a desire to assert one’s human identity, to define oneself against the social and natural forces one confronts.Whenever we find the weakness of ourselves we try to fight against it.History background Social background During 1980s(the decades after the Civil War)the United States were changing into “Modern America” in the economic, social and cultural aspects.Industrialism, science and the new philosophy of life influenced the change of the country.The spread of industrialization created extremes of wealth and poverty.The Proletariat workers' life was decided by the external forces beyond their control.There appeared a lot of slums.The conditions in the slums became worse and worse.The city poor lived a life of insecurity, suffering and violence.Westward expansion continued to push the frontier nearer the Pacific coast.But the settlers found themselves controlled by the cruel forces as railroad companies.These forces charged heavy rates and drove farmers to bankruptcy.Life became a struggle for survival.Man is helpless and insignificant in a cold world.Culture background The literature climate of the country was also changing.Apparently the realism writers were too old and too set in their ways to re-orient themselves in the new period.Realism was now too restrained and genteel in tone to tell the truth of the harsher realities of American life.Darwin & Spencer At the same time the spread of Darwin’s theory of evolution changed people’s ideology.Darwin, in On the Origin of Species referred that humans are highly evolved animals.(first)Herbert Spencer is English philosopher.He adapted the theory of evolution into a social system in which those individuals, species, or races with the best acquired characteristics would survive.(social Darwinism)émile Zola(1840～1902)French writer 對(duì)比他們的不同

Zola held that the literary artist “must operate with characters, passions, human and social data as the chemist and the physicist work on inert bodies, as the physiologist works on living bodies.” Human beings as “products” should be studied impartially, without moralizing about their natures.He dared to describe the bloody scenes of the life and have the extraordinary and excessive description in human nature.The surroundings and heredity can decide one’s destiny.French Naturalism with its new techniques and new ways of writing, appeal to the imagination of the younger generation like Crane Norris and Dreiser.Put yourself on the operating table.加結(jié)語）Definition Let’s see the general definition of the naturalism.The term naturalism describes a type of literature that attempts to apply scientific principles of objectivity and detachment to its study of human beings.Thus, if a writer wishes to depict life as it really is, he or she must be rigorously.Features of Naturalism 1.Human is controlled by laws of heredity and environment and has no free will or choice(determinism).The universe is cold, indifferent, and essentially Godless, man was enslaved, they are helpless, insignificant and lacking dignity.Everything is determined by a complex of internal chemisms and by the forces of social pressure.2.The naturalist writers report the life of the helpless people truthfully and objectively.They write their novels with a passion for scientific accuracy.There are a lot of factual details in their works.They paint life as it is lived in the slums, and are blamed of telling just the ugly side of it.The typical settings are slums, sweatshops, factories, farms.3.The naturalists are different from the realists.Though the naturalists write about real life, they do not look at the average.They look at the violent, unpleasant and ugly sides of life.Instead of reflecting the middle-class life, they write about the life of failure, poverty and even crime.Characters are always ill-educated or lower-class whose lives are governed by the forces of heredity, instinct, and passion.The reality is found when the forces of Nature are most powerful in checking human desires, in keeping humans from realizing their dreams.extreme experiences 4.There are less happy ending in the naturalistic fictions than in the realistic ones.The tone of Naturalistic writings is more ironic and pessimistic and less sympathetic and serious than realistic writings.5.Life became a struggle for survival.Therefore, naturalistic novels reflect the struggle of man to adapt to environment.However the characters in the novels never give up.They died, but they didn’t admit defeat.Representative writers ? The young writers were not admitted by the critics of that time and some of there books were forbidden because of their truly reveal of the life.Naturalistic writers cleared the way for the next generation, “the lost generation” of the 1920s.In theme they represented the life of the lower classes truthfully and broke into such forbidden regions as violence, death, and sex.In technique their works exhibit honest skills and artistry.? ?

Stephen Crane

Crane's works reflect many of the major artistic concerns at the end of the nineteenth century, especially naturalism, impressionism, and symbolism.his first book, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets(1893)transitional period a sympathetic study of an innocent and abused slum girl Maggie descents into prostitution and her eventually suicide.the red badge of courage

Fleming, a young recruit under fire for the first time in an unnamed battle of the Civil War.A farm boy whose struggle with his emotions might be that of the eternal recruit in any battle of any war, Henry has dreamt of fighting heroically in “Greek-like” battles.In first battle, Fleming witnessed the real, cruel war and the death of soldiers.He began to run like a wild animal.At the same time, he wanted to own a wound---“the symbol of courage”.In his way of return, he was hit by a scared soldier and accidentally got the “the red badge of courage”.Yet he received great praise and careful care because of this “red badge”.In the second war, Fleming began to act like a real hero to fight with his enemy.He was like a war beast and fired without a stop until his comrades remind him of the retreat of the enemy.He became a real man.Comments The Red Badge of Courage is often considered one of the best American war stories ever written, even though the author was born after the events and never saw battle himself.His purpose in writing the book was to rewrite the traditional hero, explore the complicated mental world and instinctive fear, and also to criticize the insignificance of war.It is also a psychological novel.Theodore Dreiser

Dreiser read voraciously by himself.He immersed himself in Dickens and Thackeray, read widely Shakespeare, and tasted Fielding, Pope, Thoreau, Emerson, and Twain, but his true literary influences were from Balzac, Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer.Sister Carrie A country girl comes to Chicago to look for a better life.On the train, she gets acquainted with a traveling salesman, Drouet.She first stays with her sister.However, her sister is too poor to keep her.Then when she is seriously ill, Drouet comes to her rescue and takes her home.Later, her beauty attracts Drouet’s friend, Hurswood.Hurswood deserts his comfortable home and family, and forces her to elope with him.For sometime, they experience terrible poverty.Sister Carrie goes out to work on the stage and becomes successful.But Hurswood proves himself to be unfit.He tries different jobs but fails.Then Sister Carrie deserts him.On a cold winter night, he commits suicide.Comments Materialism, including the desire for money, is an important theme in Sister Carrie.The materialism is shown mostly through Carrie's character but also through Hurstwood, a man with a respectable life and money, who still wants more and for that reason commits a crime.The city in itself is also a place of materialism, it is a place that offers all kinds of amusements, pleasures and things to buy, but to participate in what the city has to offer one has to have money.? Style

–(1)Lack of concision, without good structure.And readers are sometimes burdened with massive detailed description of characters and events.–(2)Lack in imagination, journalistic method

–(3)He broke away from the gentle tradition of literature and dramatized the life in a very realistic way.There is no comment, no judgment but facts of life in the stories.His style is not polished but very serious and well calculated to achieve the thematic ends he sought.Franklin Norris

Frank Norris was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1870.His father, Benjamin, was a self-made Chicago businessman and his mother, Gertrude Glorvina Doggett, had a stage career.In 1884 the family moved to San Francisco where Benjamin went into real estate.In Paris where he studied painting for two years and was exposed to the naturalist novels of Emile Zola He attended the University of California, Berkeley between 1890 and 1894 where he picked up the ideas of human evolution of Darwin and Spencer, that are reflected in his future writings.Although he did not openly support socialism as a political system, his work nevertheless evinces a socialist mentality and influenced socialist/progressive

Comment on The Octopus The railroad is compared to octopus with millions of tentacles.It illustrates how social and economics conditions ruined the lives of innocent, powerless people.But Norris did not seem to blame the railroad officials for the tragedies.To him, conditions, natural forces, not men were responsible for what had happened, and the laws of nature could ruin an insignificant farmer as well as a financial superman.The novel reveals his determinist view clearly.

第五篇：美國文化的英語作文

[Summary]：每個(gè)政府都在竭盡全力地促使自己治理的社會(huì)迅速發(fā)展，美國也不例外。然而，我們不能只注意美國光鮮亮麗的一面，還應(yīng)該知道，在其經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展政治和平的同時(shí)，也有許多社會(huì)問題存在著。其中最為不能忽視的就是，美國部分居民的貧困問題,它畢竟還是美國經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的絆腳石之一。

[Key words]: America;poverty;poor;social problem;black

In our mind, America is always considered as the symbol of wealth.Nevertheless, we should not just pay attention to one side of the society.And we need to focus on the other side of it.Every country has its social problems, so does America.Although America is the richest country in the world and has the best conditions to provide free medical service to the entire people, the government of USA doesn’t offer it to all citizens.And many managers of companies use their power to snatch the greed of the top executives.Further more, drug is a major offense in poor communities and some ethnic minority people have been involve in street drug dealing instead of border smuggling.But the most serious social problem as I am concerned is the poverty.Gregg Easterbrook has published his book, The Progress Parabox(2003), whose secondary title is ,”How life gets better while people fell worse.” The author thinks that many Americans confound what they need and what they want.They will never care about whether they need the new products or not and buy them as soon as they are put into the market.For the credit card is very convenient, it is easy to make Americans owe a lot of debts: everyone owes about 3500 dollars in average.A part of their spiritual and financial stress derives form this.This blindness causes the waste of citizens’ wealth, and makes the poor poorer.There are a great number of Americans lead a poor life.And the majority of them are ordinary people who are always working hard to earn more money to support a family.In the United States, a family of four with an annual income of about 13,000 dollars or less is identified as living in poverty and in need of help, for the reason that the lowest salary made by the government is too low: 5.15 dollars.If the average lowest salary of the whole America increases to 10 dollars, this problem will be solved.But in case that the government does so, the entire society will pay for the development of the poor people’s life.The phenomena of poverty exist all the time.Viewed from a historical perspective, local governments made efforts to provide the poorest with certain amount of money for them to deal with difficult situations.Feeling that the aid would undermine the principle of self-reliance, some people, even in a desperate condition, might refuse to accept such a kind of aids.However, this small amount of aids did help a lot of people, including many immigrants,get out of the difficulties they were facing.In the USA, about 90% of the population is well-off enough to expect a brighter future.The USA still has one of the highest standards of living in the world, although, at the present time , 10% are below what the Government considers to be the “poverty line.” While these underprivileged people receive help from the Government, they have no high hopes for their future.It is from this “underclass,” and those who take advantage of it, that most of the violence springs—— the violence which is one of the least pleasant aspects of American society.There is no social hierarchy to prevent people from competing with each other in theory, but in reality, many black people and ethnic minorities could not hold equal opportunities as European immigrants did.As a result, many blacks and ethnic minorities became the poor and unemployed.What’s worse, the government can not offer some available policies to give all the citizens the equal treatment to receive education.Because of the lack of practical skills and enough education, the employ rates of the black is low.The racial discriminate also does some bad effects on the black’s life.The white refuse to live together with them.So they have to move to a place after another.As a consequence, the slum and the area of racial separation are born.The black are always struggling for their poor life , but receiving little.As for me, the government of USA should take more measures to improve the problem of poverty.First, the social welfare system should be perfect all the while.Since the New Deal period when President Roosevelt took office, the United States has maintained an effective public welfare system by giving various financial aids to the needed so as to help stabilize the society and the nation.Secondly, the equal rights should be provided to everyone, no matter what color their skin is.As Barack Obama becomes the US President-elect, I believe that the social status of the black will change to a higher standard.So they will also get more chances to be educated and to be employed.At last, Americans should keep working hard and be hopeful of their future.They are citizens of the richest country in the world.They should be confident of their government.Obama will give them a new time to get rid of the financial crisis, to develop the economy and to say goodbye to poverty.【參考文獻(xiàn)】：《美國社會(huì)與文化》，江寧康，南京：東南大學(xué)出版社
