1.诚然，传统与现代化有很多的不同，在一些时候，他们是相违背的，比如说一些新的技术的问世，取代了旧的技术（人类现在城市与城市，国家与国家间的交通主要靠火车，汽车，飞机等现代化工业产物，而原来的马匹，马车已经很少有人使用了；一种新药没有了旧药的副作用的上市取代了旧药的市场）
2.然而，历史是一个延续的过程，没有绝对的现代化或传统，他们都是相对而言的，所以传统和现代化是可以相互转换的，比如在瓦特的时代蒸汽机的发明是一项modernization而现在是一项traditional的工业。同时，传统和现代化也是相互依存的，比如说传统的文字之于网络语言

3.人们对待传统和现代化的关系应该是提取传统中的有益部分，改进现代化所不足的部分，从而更好的开创新的现代化.traditional medical。

TOPIC:ISSUE147 - "Tradition and modernization are incompatible. One must choosebetween them."

Thetradition and modernization are convertible and reliable mutually though thereare lots of examples of the incompatible conflict between tradition andmodernization. Therefore, it is inexpedient to separate them but to integratethem and then acquire benefits from them-- we should take the quintessence fromtradition and apply it to modernization to make our life more benefited.

Admittedly,tradition and modernization are incompatible in terms of some ways. Theconflict between tradition and modernization can be seen everywhere. The risingof a new technology always means a fall of a traditional technology. Thetrains, airplanes and vehicles that comfort us in moving to other countries,cities and continents, have replaced the traditional vehicle like the horse andcarriage which is so inconvenient and incogitable for us nowadays. A newmedicine with higher effective and lower level of byproduct will replace thetraditional one in the same way.

However,tradition and modernization are convertible mutually for the reason that humanhistory is a continuous progress. Tradition and modernization are relative toeach other. Every modern artifact in some period of time must be a traditionalone in the future. The steam engine invented by Walt is a significant moderninventor in the era of his life while this technology is traditional and abasic of other modern industry nowadays. Further more, tradition andmodernization are compatible and even embracing each other in some ways. Themodern English language, in spite of its many words that are unique to themodern culture, is deprived from the traditional linguistics, and ultimatelyfrom the ancient Greek and Latin language. Were we to insist on rejecting thetraditional language, we would have essentially no words to say.

Finally,the maximizing use of the relevance between modernization and tradition is totake the quintessence from tradition and apply it to modernization to make ourlife more benefited. Byproducts and advantage are always come together. Thebyproducts of tradition is obsolete while the advantage of modernization iscreative, meanwhile, the byproduct of modernization is its lack of experienceand accumulating in history while it is exactly the advantage of tradition. Forinstance, in clinical medical, a new treatment is always based on a traditionalone.

To sumup, tradition and modernization are incompatible in some ways while they arecompatible and convertible in some other ways. We should take the quintessencefrom tradition to consolidate and create more modernization to benefitourselves.
