某一文化特性的可预见的后果,可能会因抑制诚实言论的政治言辞和社会压力而变得暗淡。那些文化激进人士的活动很可能代表了社会精英阶层,因而很可能扭曲了公众的意愿。现实要比本文中的案例复杂得多,在由全球化所带来的物质进步和对地方文化的保护之间存在着二分法。首先,当今的全球化浪潮肯定会促进物质进步;其次,尽管文化激进人士抗议不止,但对地方文化的破坏不一定是坏事。对全球化及其所带来的文化同化的抗拒也可能是保守的或不合乎人意的。
The foreseeable consequences of a particular cultural identity may be dimmed by the political rhetoric and social pressures that inhibit honest speech. The activities of those cultural radicals are likely to represent the social elite and thus likely distort the wishes of the public. Reality is far more complicated than the case in this article, and there is a dichotomy between the material advances brought about by globalization and the preservation of local culture. First of all, the tide of globalization today will surely promote material progress. Second, despite the protests of cultural activists, the damage to local culture is not necessarily a bad thing. Resistance to globalization and the resulting cultural assimilation can also be conservative or undesirable.
