World Cup related issues
1, economy
No matter which continent or country holds large-scale international competitions, one of the most fundamental interests is economy. As far as the African continent is concerned, we all know that the economic situation there is not optimistic. The purpose of this World Cup is to promote tourism and catering in Africa, mainly in South Africa. In this way, people will take the initiative to spend money in Africa and improve the African economy.
2. Politics
If we want to focus the world's attention on a continent or a country, political factors cannot be ignored, because the process of holding large-scale international competitions is to let countries see the strength and openness of the host country. If this is a bit vague, we can think that hosting the Olympic Games in China in 2008 has played a great role in promoting China's positive political status in the world.
3. Culture
What a country has the greatest influence on other countries is not military, nor economy, nor politics, but culture.
In addition to the above, the main means for the United States to become a world power is the export of culture (such as McDonald's and KFC). This kind of export is a kind of soft invasion, which enables people in other countries to accept the ideas of the exporting country through cultural means, thus being controlled by the exporting country.
Perhaps, some people will think that I am alarmist, but a vivid example is in front of me: North Korea and South Korea.
South Korea's economy has developed, but North Korea's economy has not. Especially recently, North Korea and South Korea made a mess because of the Jin 'an incident. Among them, South Korea conducts psychological warfare on the North Korean border through loudspeakers, which is a kind of cultural communication. Although these two countries are a nation with the same cultural roots, after 50 years of development of different political ideas, this culture has undergone fundamental changes. Therefore, South Korea abandoned military and diplomatic repression and softened the rule of the North Korean government through cultural propaganda. In this way, it is no wonder that North Korea is going to shoot at those "tweeters".
Question 2: First of all, it is a loss for North Korea not to participate in major international competitions for many years. From the content of the first question, we can find that North Korea has actually given up the most effective way to develop itself and let others know about itself.
However, North Korea not only participated in this World Cup, but also its tenacious spirit and steely will in the competition made fans including China, Japan and South Korea enthusiastically pursue it. North Korea, an unknown teacher, also witnessed the will of the North Korean government.
We are all saying, "Let the tournament be just a tournament without any political and economic factors", but this statement is unrealistic and untenable.
In this World Cup, the performance of the North Korean team is remarkable, so let their compatriot Korean fans cheer for him. Let's not talk about politics here. Psychologically speaking, as an ordinary China fan, after watching the North Korean team's game, I am excited and proud of this team and the whole North Korea.
Think from another angle, if I were in Korea now, I would be proud of my compatriots and ashamed of my incompetence! ! ! On the field, we strongly support North Korea. After the game, we will also bring this story to our understanding of North Korea in reality. This understanding is definitely not negative, but positive.
As for the situation on the peninsula, we dare not say that the passion in this competition will have an impact on it, because politics is always politics, and other ways also serve politics.
We can imagine North Korea's attitude, which is what China often said: "poor and hard". For South Korea, the attitude is "Uncle is rich, are you obedient?" .
I hope this competition can enhance the understanding between the two countries, eliminate their prejudices and enable them to discuss the peaceful development of the same country on an equal footing. On the Korean peninsula, "unity is beneficial, and division is harmful."
