When we mention industry, the industry revolution will come to our mind. Culture industry seems to be unfamiliar with us, but actually industry culture is surrounding us and covering our life.In my opinion, the industry culture is an unprecedented form of industry area.
In positive side, with the attendance of manufacturing, a lot of culture spread worldly. The advanced manufactory makes the craft work become easier and less complicated. What’s more it also reduces the cost of crafting. Thus, people have more chance to touch other cultures by shopping in grocery store and discover some craft work by other cultures. It cloud be a bowl or chopsticks. In addition, culture industry provides multiple ways to touch with other cultures. We can watch a movie to know a country instead of traveling to that country. We can eat other countries traditional food in international city.Thus culture industry provides a lot of chances to make people get touches with other cultures.
In negative side, part of the people criticize the culture industry as rough duplication. The function of culture industry is to entertainment. What’s more, in most of time culture industry won’t let people understand another culture briefly. The culture industry cares more about the form. It is a rough and blurring duplicate. On the other hand, due to the culture industry is everywhere, part of the people regard it as a tool for changing people’s mind unconsciously.
All in all, we can’t deny the disadvantages and the bad influences of culture industry to people, but we can improve and make changes. It is meaningless to be pessimistic. We should pay attention to these problems and solve them. Thus culture industry will be the bridge for every culture to understand other cultures.
It is true that the cultural industry is dominated by entertainment, but it is not enough for the cultural industry to focus only on the entertainment function, and the dissemination of cultural information is more important. For example, in some exotic restaurants, some introductions to various foods in the restaurant can be hung, so that customers can understand the food and order better. On the other hand, cultural information can be transmitted, and cultural understanding and communication can be better promoted.
