The globalization of culture is the unmitigated result of capitalism. When the cultural sector becomes a kind of production machine, it actually tries to win market share all over the world, "as opposed to the more natural process that kicks into gear when cultures meet. There may be conflict and friction, but they also learn from each other and learn mutual understanding," explains Chen.
最顯著的文化全球化，說穿了就是資本主義過度發展的結果，當文化工業變成一種生產機器，自然會力圖攻佔世界各地市場，「而不像在自然狀況下相遇的異文化，雖然會衝突、會摩擦，但也會彼此學習、共融，」陳其南說。
