The discussion can be based on the following aspects: 1) the development of the society with its industrialized and commercialized tendency 2) the death of traditional cultures and the backwardness of cultural improvement 3) culture’s pivotal value on social development A Model Essay on Topic Three I firmly take the cyber friendship as a two-edge sword.
