The most effective way to understand contemporary culture is to analyze the trends of its youthTo choose an effective way to understand contemporary culture is so important because Contemporary culture is involving and influencing our daily lives. Some one claim that such effective way is to analyze the trends of the youth. I disagree with the claim because of the commplex and bro ith of While such claim validates in some certain fields or aspects in contemporary culture, such as language and material culture, however, it appears ineffecitive tackling some other specific areas, such as some sorts of arts.
When it comes to the language, an aspect of nonmaterial arts, it is effective to follow the trends of the youth to analyze contemporary culture. There is a hotly debate on how to define the culture; despite this, we still can classify the culture into two pats, the material culture and nonmaterial culture. The material culture refers the special patterns of what constitutes our lives and meets the basic requirments of our lives, such as apparal and food, while the nonmaterial culture means the to fulfill our spritual requirments, involving language, art and so on. To understand contemporary language culture, the way to analyze the trends of youth is to some extend sound. The concrete example to illustrate this point is the contemporary language culture in China. Through the internet, the yough lead the trends of importing exotic language and fusing them to Chinese. For example, once understanding the neologism, such as "galibility" which means the excellence and premience, we would know the contemporary Chinese language culture. In short, the approach of tracking the trend of youth to can be adopted effectively on studying contemporary language culture.
Meanwhile, in order to comprehend the apprals and food, the method of analyzing the trends of the young people makes sense. The apprals and food are the two aspects of material culture and they are the most active fields where the young are the dominet.It can be seen that increasing number of cooporations that involve in these two fields view the young as the target consummer and make effort to cater the tastes and likeness of the young. Consider the fact that KFC is growing to be the most profitable company in Chinese food industry, to analyze the trend of youth tells the contemporary food culture in China is the fast food shocking the traditional food. Similarly, the diverse and caparious fashion of apprals alter what the young are dressing and it also exert a profound impact on clothing culture. Totally speaking, the trends of youth in food and apprals is also a better indictor of contemporary culture.
Notwithstanding the applicabliity in researching some certain culture, it is ineffective to understand the relative professional contemporary culture.
To sum up, due to the complex and universialness of culture, in order to , it is insufficient and ineffective to understand contemporary culture in terms of only following the trends of youths. Addimitedly, such way suits some certain contemporary culture, such as language and a part of material culture. However, when adopting it to analyze other aspects of culture, it turns out to be ungrounded.
