Seven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the U.S. economy（1）during the ‘90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high-technology（2）. But how? In the late ‘90s, the answer schemed obvious: Indians.（3） all, Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups. So the German government decided that it would（4） Indians to Term any just as America does by（5） green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and（6） that they would issue 20,000 in the first year. （7）, the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the（8） would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later（9） half of the 20,000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was（10）. I told the German official at the time that I was sure the（11） would fail. It's not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy, （12） I understood something about green cards, because I had one (the American（13）. The German Green Card was misnamed, I argued,（14） it never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship. The U.S.green card, by contrast, is an almost（15）path to becoming American (after five years and a clean record). The official（16） my objection, saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. “we need young teach workers,” he said. “that's what this pro-gram is all（17）.”so Germany was asking bright young（18）to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new language and work in a strange land—but without any（19）of ever being part of their new home. Germany was singing a signal, one that was（20） received in India and other countries, and also by Germany's own immigrant community.

  • Both civilization and culture are fairly modem words, having come into prominent use during the 19th century by anthropologists, historians, and literary figures. There has been a strong tendency to use them interchangeably as though they mean the same thing, but they are not the same.Although modem in their usage, the two words derived from ancient Latin. The word civilization is based on the Latin civis, of a city. Thus civilization, in its most essential meaning, is the ability of people to live together harmoniously in cities, in social groupings. From this definition it would seem that certain insects, such as ants or bees, are also civilized. They live and work together in social groups. So do some microorganisms. But there is more to civilization, and that is what culture brings to it. So, civilization is inseparable from culture.The word culture is derived from the Latin verb colere, “to till the soil”. But colere also has a wider range of meanings. It may, like civis, mean inhabiting a town or village. But most of its definitions suggest a process c-f starting and promoting growth and development. One may cultivate a garden; one may also cultivate one’s interests, mind, and abilities. In its modem use the word culture refers to all the positive aspects and achievements of humanity that make mankind different from the rest of the animal world. Culture has grown out of creativity, a characteristic that seems to be unique to human beings.One of the basic and best-known features of civilization and culture is the presence of tools. But more important than their simple existence is that the tools are always being improved and enlarged upon, a result of creativity. It took thousands of years to get from the first wheel to the latest, most advanced model of automobile.It is the concept of humans as toolmakers and improvers that differentiates them from other animals. A monkey may use a stick to knock a banana from a tree, but that stick will never, through a monkey’s cleverness, be modified into a hook or a ladder. Monkeys have never devised a spoken language, written a book, composed a melody, built a house, or painted a portrait. To say that birds build nests and beavers their dens is to miss the point. People once lived in caves, but their cleverness, imagination and creativity led them to progress beyond caves to buildings.
