Cultural Invasion


Cultural invasion is one of the most outstanding and dangerous breaches encountering the Arabic Culture. Arabs through history have been subjected to many of these breach attempts, especially during the period of the struggle against the Zionist Movement and the plans of the American globalization which is considered one of the most important ways to spread her cultures and lifestyle in order to unsettle the national culture by invading the minds of its people.

Culture is considered the most important fort for nations and an essential factor that motivates their strife. To be mentioned is the role of language and its branches in warning the Arabs of the dangers surrounding them. It was also an essential factor of nation wakefulness factors in facing the attempts to efface its identity as it performed an effective role in confronting the attempts to impose Turkish and French nationalities in the east and west of the Arab Land.

Arabic culture has encountered double danger:

Zionism and history forgery
Zionism and ( Israel ) state are the main dangers facing the Arabs as they have both circulated mythical legends through forging the history and cultural identity of the Arab nation with the aim of placing the Zionist racist entity in the heart of the Arab country and undermining the idea of Arab nationality and unity .

One of the Zionism practices is considering Palestine a biblical land for Jews , denying Palestine history and considering Jerusalem an eternal capital of the Zionist entity.

Zionist leaders realized that peace alone is unable to achieve Zionist targets so it is necessary to mind the cultural field. Therefore, Zionists aim at circulating to what they call peace culture , in order to dedicate the legitimacy of their existence , occupation of the land and peace culture according to what they are circulating. It is the culture of submission to fait accompli and not the culture of fair and permanent peace.

From this appears the vital role of Arabic language and the educated Arab in facing this danger, because the educated Arab is the soldier of the coming battle.


Globalization and threatening the identity
The dangers which threatens the identity of nations have increased under the imperialism globalization shade. It sounds clear that the means created by globalization seek to generalize market education to become a global education , i.e. imposing dominating globalization culture by using advanced technology in communication, spreading her cultural production and notions, change culture into commodity and separate culture and educated people from the field of their advancement and their relation to their homeland and its progress. The interest of globalization especially the American one is based on spreading her notions without looking at humanity original values. Information and means of communication penetrate nations and culture and it is possible to point out the difficulties and challenges facing the national cultures especially in the developing countries :

A- Capital countries especially America have huge capabilities in the field of culture industry and this threatens nations culture. It was not by chance in Johannesburg conference that the French president asked for confirming an international treaty about the cultural variety.

B- It is impossible to put barriers and blocks to avoid the access of what is spread by information media because communication technology is everywhere in every house.

It is well known that the United States of America is the pioneer in marketing culture commodities and have ways of permeation and influence through satellite channels causing gradual psychological brain wash via information materials produced especially for underdeveloped countries.

How to deal with globalization phenomenon in the cultural field:
There are three trends in this connections:

The first: A rejecting trend. Its pros believe in maintaining and protecting the identity, self-isolation and returning back to the old cultural heritage. This means the isolation from the advancement in the world without taking into consideration the needs and demands of the present time.

The second: calls for opening to globalization and integrating with her. Its pros believe that the present time has passed national identities, without taking into consideration the nature of this globalization.

The third: rejects globalization in her present form considering her based on the tendency of domination and works towards depriving the national identity content. Its pros start from the notion of the national identity of culture and call for maintaining and protecting it besides finding a status of positive interaction among cultures.

It sounds that this stand is the right option that allows keeping together with the advancement in the world without isolation and knowing how to deal with globalization phenomenon as it appears by starting from the nation cultural heritage and maintaining what is original and humanitarian in it.
