Owing to its distinctive features, the Internet language draws extensive attention and evokes dispute. Should we make laws to restrict its development or be magnanimous and tolerant？ The present authors think that the dispute reflects the clash between the traditional culture and the ＂fast food＂ culture. The two cultures would co-exist harmoniously and co-develop healthily only if we cherish the law in the development of language and grasp the indirect correlation between them.展开更多

Society does not care much about the damages of right owners. Internet is often considered as a ＂public place＂, and works on Internet are considered as ＂displayed in public places＂ from which a lawful restriction of rights is permitted. It promotes unfair competition and hinders the development of sustainable business. Lawful use of protected copyright content is a tool for ensuring equal and sustainable competition level among entrepreneurs. On Internet, there are many copyright-protected works available. Many members of society wish to get an access to these works, which means that a solution should be found. For private and non-commercial use, there should be reasonable limitations. Combating piracy on Intemet using enforcement tools alone does not yield results. Piracy should be placed in a frame accepted by a civilized society, and the society and authors should get the maximum benefits from it.展开更多

As various aspects of culture determin and guid communication behavior, it is impossible to successfully communicate with people of different cultures without understanding how they think. By saying ＂language is the archives of history＂, Ralph Waldo Emerson is telling us that we will never seperate our language from our culture. Culture is everything and everywhere and the need for learning intercultural communication is by no means insignificant. This essay mainly disccusses the significance and necessity of understanding different culture values in intercultural communication, and shows by some misunderstanding cases how misunderstanding between different people from different cultures happens.展开更多
