正确答案：Modern means of transportation telecommunication and mass media have shortened the geographical distance of the world. The international community appears to be no more than a global village in which people of all nations experience the inevitable cultural exchanges and clashes while seeking common development in a harmonious and respectful relationship. I"m with the view that in the modern world the culture of any nation cannot develop in isolation.I believe that different cultures should learn from each other"s strengths to offset their own weaknesses. Of course the culture of a nation must withhold its own distinctive national characteristics in extensive exchange with other cultures. Cultural exchange I think is by no means a process of losing one"s own culture to a foreign culture but a process of enriching each other"s national cultures.
