Tradition and Modernization Can Be Compatible

There is much debate over whether tradition and modernization are compatible. Some people maintain that they necessarily conflict with each other, while others argue that it is possible to combine tradition and modernization in our pursuit of development. As far as I am concerned, these two forces undermine each other at times, but they can also compliment each other, if handled properly.

Most people take it for granted that modernization and tradition are contradictory, which is true in a sense. Modernization, a popular yet a vague term, is generally understood as "Westernization," which means individualist, rights-based democracy, capitalism, and technological imperatives. Meanwhile, tradition comprises the whole complex of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features that characterize a specific society or a social group. It includes not only the arts and letters, but also modes of life, the value systems and beliefs of the indigenous people. In this sense, it is only natural that modernization, as a foreign culture forced upon non-Western cultures, tends to cause damage to the tradition and arouse confrontation from the native people involved in this destructive and painful process. Where modernization marches on, we often see traditional customs disappearing, traditional value systems collapsing, traditional craftsmanship withering, and traditional ways of life disintegrating. As a result, modernization has not brought about prosperity and happiness at it promises to traditional societies. On the contrary, we are alarmed at the deterioration of the cities and disintegration of society—overcrowding; slum formation; breakdown of culture, community, and family; isolation of social and age groups, etc. —as well as the environmental destruction—water and air pollution; noise; destruction of wildlife, vegetation and land, etc.

However, if we understand modernization as sustainable development, we must believe in the necessity and possibility of synthesizing modernization and tradition. Development can only flourish where it is rooted in the culture and the tradition of each country, since it is an all-encompassing process linked to each society's own values and calling for an active participation of individuals and groups who are both the authors and the beneficiaries of it. The success of Japan and the South-East Asian "dragons," is a case in point. While espousing the free enterprise system of the western development model, these traditional societies dosed it with more than a little government control, a form of paternalism alien to the West but totally in keeping with their own traditions. In the same vein, China is confidently pushing forward its development by synthesizing modernization and tradition.

To conclude, it seems unavoidable that some traditional cultural elements will be lost in the process of modernization. Yet any external experience, technique or model cannot be successfully integrated by mere adopting or reproduction; it needs to be reinterpreted or reinvented in such a way that it can be absorbed through the filter of the society's cultural identity and value system. In other words, any traditional society, if it aims at sustainable development, should endeavor to maintain a mutually enriching relationship between the external modernization and the internal tradition.

原告:某装饰工程有限公司 被告:黄某、郑某、林某(方草地餐饮有限责任公司的三个股东) 诉讼请求: ①请求法院判决三被告履行对方草地餐饮有限责任公司的清算义务。 ②请求法院判决三被告与方草地餐饮有限责任公司一起承担偿还原告债权的连带责任。原告与方草地餐饮有限责任公司签订了“建设工程施工合同”,约定由原告为方草地餐饮公司进行室内装潢,原告完成施工任务并经被告所属公司验收合格后交付使用,但被告所属公司却一直未支付其应支付的工程款130万元;后餐饮公司因违法经营而被工商局吊销营业执照,但未清算,致使原告公司债权迟迟不能实现。原告认为,三被告系债务人公司股东,在该有限责任公司被吊销执照后负有清算义务,但却未尽法定义务,被告不尽法定义务的行为是导致其债权不能实现的原因。故提出以上诉请。 现经法院查明: ①方草地餐饮有限责任公司由黄某、郑某和林某三人共同发起设立。黄某以自有商铺作价200万元出资,郑某以实物作价50万元出资,林某以150万元货币出资。现经法院委托有关中介机构评估确认,黄某的出资明显不实,商铺实际价值只有100万元。 ②方草地餐饮有限责任公司拖欠原告130万元工程款属实。 问: (1)原告关于有限责任公司被吊销执照后,其股东负有清算义务的主张是否有依据?为什么? (2)被告黄某、郑某、林某是否应该对公司该笔债务负连带责任?为什么? (3)你认为该案应如何处理?
