Abstract
The inheritance of ethnic cultures is an important subject in the field of educational anthropology. As the most important conduit for the passing along of ethnic cultures, education strongly impacts that inheritance. Today, however, the rate of globalization is rapidly increasing. Whether in domestic or foreign education, or whether for primary or higher education, increasingly severe challenges in education are yielding profound changes. One of the most important developments in education at the present time is the cultivation of diversity. Increased diversity in education will have a profound impact on the inheritance of ethnic cultures. In light of the current age and contemporary social changes, the significance of the inheritance of ethnic cultures within the process of globalization is magnified. The current work uses the characteristics of educational development toward diversity to analyze the relationship between education and the inheritance of ethnic cultures, and suggests necessary changes in education to promote that inheritance.
Highlights
The inheritance of ethnic cultures in times of changeThe definition of the simple word “culture” is quite complicated
The original, ecological, ethnic culture is presently favored in China and the National Museum has held exhibitions concerning this intangible cultural heritage, as traditional ethnic culture has become a topic of great concern to people
In the era of globalization, the diversification of education regarding the inheritance of ethnic cultures appears to be a double-edged sword
Summary
The definition of the simple word “culture” is quite complicated. In general, “culture” can be viewed as the collection of all the factors that give a society a unique. Many countries currently face a dilemma concerning whether to open further to foreign cultures, or to close themselves off in order to live and solve problems in a more traditional manner In this context of globalization, many countries are worried that their cultures could decline or die, and they have adopted a conservative attitude, trying to resist and eliminate the strongest influences through localization movements. The inheritance of traditional culture can compensate for the alienation, spiritual and emotional loss, and psychological instability that inevitably appear in the cultural identity of people undergoing modernization Such traditional cultures propagate the history of the civilization of a nation, yet, some ethnic cultures will have components that do not adapt to the flow of human progress and possibly even hinder that progress. This work will end with measures that can be implemented in the field of education to promote the inheritance of an ethnic culture
