Sir Edward B. Tylor, a British Anthropologist,
once mentioned that culture is a multifaceted whole which includes knowledge,
belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other habits acquired by man in the
society. And the China culture today has transformed in some ways.
The culture of China
today has changed from the past decades. I was born in 80’s and enjoyed my
childhood in the 90’s. And I can say that there were lots of changes in
cultural aspects of my fellow Filipinos due to industrialization and globalization. And this happens to almost all countries like
China.

Cities
Changes

of influential people like celebrities, higher government officials,
entrepreneurs, and all other highly skilled professionals. (Frederick,
2011)
