values. what does their success in the west tell us? their popularity tells us that,
alongside cheap consumer products, we are exporting to the west, chinese beliefs and,
values.
ladies and gentlemen, globalization, yes it has its impacts on our values. it
is sending our values overseas and bringing in new ones. lets not see the bringing
in of new ones a threat to our own culture. as a matter of fact, the bringing in is
a very good opportunity and time to rethink and reflect who we are and what we want
to be. it is upon us whetherglobalization has a positive or negative impact on our traditional values. ladies
and gentlemen, i see this positively, i know even if our traditional values are
changing or to change, the change is for better, not for worse. thank you very “21世紀杯”全國英語演講比賽亞軍——張京the impact of globalization on traditional chinese values good morning, ladies and gentlemen: before western and chinese civilization came into close contact, chinese people
had always longed for a life depicted in traditional chinese paintings. those
paintings present a harmonious coexistence of people and other life forms. regarded
as the essence of ancient chinese philosophies, harmony has been deeplyrooted in
the minds of the chinese people. on the one hand, it has contributed to the unique
continuity of chinese
civilization. on the other, chinese people became too much contented withtheir achievements to desire any further changes. as globalization deepens, it
is bound to affect our ideal of harmony. first, globalization urges china to speed up its modernization, which threatens
our regard for the harmony between man and nature. for instance, many dams and
hydropower stations are being built for economic benefits at the expense of the
wellpreserved natural habitats. however,ecological malpractice of such kind goes against the notion of harmonious
coexistence in ancient chinese philosophies. more than 2,000 years ago, long before
the concept of environmental protection came into being, dujiang weir, a great
irrigation project was built in southwestern chinas sichuan province. it succeeded
both in controlling floods and in centuryold chinesestyle houses are being demolished to make room for
skyscrapers, shopping malls and eightlane expressways. ladies and gentlemen, to conclude, i would like to quote from british philosopher
bertrand russell. in contrasting chinese and western civilizations, he observed: the
distinctive merit of westerncivilization is the scientific method。 the distinctive merit of the chinese is
a just conception of the ends of life. it is these two that one must hope to see
gradually uniting. as we see the tremendous progress

Crossing the Sea
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. The title of my speech today is “Crossing the Sea”.
An English poet by the name of Rudyard Kipling once wrote in his poem “We and They”:
“All the people like us are We
And everyone else is They
We live over the sea
While They live over the way
We eat pork and beef with cowhornhandled knives
They who gobble their rice off a leaf
Are horrified out of their lives.”
When these lines first caught my eyes, I was shockedhow could two peoples remain so isolated and ignorant of each other in the past? Today’s society, of course, is an entirely different picture. Those people who used to eat with cowhornhandled knives might be very skillful in using chopsticks, and those people who used to gobble their rice might be as well have taken to fish and chips.
Indeed, just take China as an example: Our modern life has been influenced by Western style of living in so many ways that it’s no longer surprising to see teenagers going crazy about ro
