WelcomenEuropean Culture:An Introductionn欧洲文化入门The Purpose of Learning European CulturenLanguage cannot be learned without some knowledge of the culture behind it.nEuropean culture itself is a part of world culture.Some knowledge of it is necessary to us as citizens of the world.To show ones opinionOneselfThe leaderOld age lifePurpose for My Culture ClassnLearning culture is not to recite numerous informations from textbook.nBut to improve self-cultivation,to promote ones thinking ability,then to probe our cultures merits and defects from different culture,to think about what we should learn from others and what others should learn from ours.So that we could cultivate a habit of thinking and knowinghow to make life meaningful.For My Personal Viewn文化，不是让你死记硬背时间、地点、人物、事件、影响、意义。n而是透过不同的文化，探究自身文化的优缺点，从中吸取精华、去除糟粕，来达到提升自我修养，培养独立思考能力的目的。从而让文化成为我们参悟生活，领会人生意义的重要渠道。The Origin of CulturenMesopotamia两河流域文明nEgyptian古埃及文明nHebrew希伯来文明nGreek and
