Lecture title: Why Translating Cultures? -The age of cultural conflict

Lecture abstract: It may be fair to say that this is the age of cultural conflict. We are facing the danger of World War III. Does the frequent use of mobile phones and the development of AI lead us to stop thinking deeply? This lecture will explore the importance of taking culture seriously.
