The influences of World Expo in the social and political aspects

     The World Expo holding in rountine is an activity,which attracts people's attention all around the world.
It's regulated that the fair is sorted into two types, which are the one holding in every five years and the other is a small fair holding between the two Expos every 3 months. The data above is estimated and sometimes the period between the World Expos changes.

     The purpose of the World Expo is to let the participative countries to interact with other participants by their displays and also prohibit their progress in many fields and prospects in the future. In addition, they can present their power and influences by their products, technology and culture. Some said "it's a record to the wisdom of social civilization and the possibility to the future." It's a right time for those participants to show their achivements in modern culture, techonology and industry.

In social aspects, taking Shanghai for example, it's a both traditional and advanced city before it holds the fair. Some of the people in Shanghai don't look highly on their wearing and behaviors and they don't care about whether they wear the right clothes to the occasion. It's quite a shame for visitors to see the citizens in Shanghai walk around on the street in pajamas, which can easily destroy the image while the China government are making efforts to set up itself an international image. Not only the government does some education to their citizens but also it conducts lots of contructions,such as public transportaions, and some developments, which is much relative to the appearence of the city. Moreover, a few standards which keeps up with those in Europe are released in Shanghai in order to revise the misunderstandings toward the city and the nation in many Westerners' minds.

In political aspects, it's necessary for a host to have a good financial fundament and power if a nation wants to hold a World Expo. Therefore, those who have held the fairs must be equipped with the conditions above because it absolutely costs a huge amount of money to raise such a big activity. It's a recognition and evidence to a country that it's developed enough and has many achivements dominant in the world. Also, the host nation gains reputation since it presents its power and progress in front fo people. After the fair is over, the status of the country who held the fair is much better than before and makes many accesses to many organizations and councils.


All in all, although the nation makes much sacrifice to accomplish the goal, it's worthy of doing it. The total influences makes the country stronger and more open-minded to the world.
