Abstract

Cultural changes run through the historical development of human society. Only by having an insight into the cultural changes in the global information age can we grasp the development and future of contemporary culture. Contemporary culture has two major trends of globalization and informatization. This paper focuses on the background of informatization of contemporary culture. Currently, informatization associated with globalization has strengthened the interdependence of national economies, changed the international environment for their development, and enriched their ways of interaction. Under the unprecedented open international environment, the development of any country can no longer be carried out in a closed state. The influence of international public opinion on national development is becoming increasingly important. As a big developing country, China has to communicate with other countries in an all-round and multi-channel way so that the world can better understand China and China can create a good international public opinion environment for its own development. This paper will spread out expositions for three aspects: the informatization tide promoted the rise of the information culture industry; the informatization tide intensifies the cultural interaction and competition among countries; the informatization tide enriches cultural communication among countries.

Summary

Introduction

Whether synchronic culture or diachronic culture, culture is essentially evolutive and dynamic. From the perspective of the internal evolution of culture, the subject is directly or indirectly stimulated and catalyzed by information in social practice, so as to recombine and construct the original cultural factors and heterogeneous cultural factors, and form the cultural change. The progress of human civilization is attributed to the repeated and spiral cultural changes, that is, continuous heterogeneous isomorphism and catalytic recombination. The “soft” [1] power of culture transcends economic, political, and military power and is deeply integrated into the vitality, creativity, and cohesion of the nation. The power of culture is amplified by information technology, which has expanded the country’s economic, political, and military power in the international community, becoming an indispensable and important part of the comprehensive national strength [2].
