The Role of Social Research in Modern Times
The Role of Social Research in Modern TimesChina has become one of the countries that encourage and demand more interaction in terms of social research and that is because of the growing influence of Western media and cultures in a very dynamic and advanced way. However, most people don't think of China as a source of innovative minds and researchers. In fact, China is one of the world's biggest consumers of Western and even Asian media and even some research topics can be put to use in China to show how foreign media influence its people and the place of this culture in the world.For instance, the values and beliefs in China are also well known from Western media and for example 'The Star Wars' film has brought into many China and so have the Superman movies. One can see the influence in terms of beliefs and values that make Chinese people more open minded and independent. Many Chinese think that Superman is God and that is why Superman is the Superman of the US.Also, it can be note d that the food produced in China is quite different from the Western foods. For example, some Chinese believe that Coca Cola is a bad thing for them and that is why they call it as the 'Snake' and that is why they don't drink it. They say that it is only to be drunk by people who have been bitten by snakes. For the same reason, Chinese also don't like the foods from the rest of the world such as the French fries and other fried food from their homes.There are so many researches done by different organizations on China that shows how different Chinese food is from the Western food. For example, the Mongolian food is more important than the Chinese food and the Chinese are the only ones who eat pork. Because of this, it is only natural that Chinese people consider that their food is more significant than the Western food.Another reason why China has become one of the most influential countries of the world is because it is developing so fast. At the same time, the government of China is trying to promote itself more in the world and that is what the more people will be able to see more of its interesting researches.The study is not only limited to the Western world but also to other Asian countries that have more influence in this regard. That is why China is a perfect place to do studies about and to experiment on social relationships in Asia. For example, Chinese can also know more about the relationship between the British people and the Chinese and how the British media influence the Chinese people.Other researches can be done on the Tibetan culture in China. Although this is not related with Tibet but more to the relations between the Chinese and the Tibetans and how this is changing. There are many interesting researches on Chinese and Tibetan people and how these people are connected and how they interact with each other.
