I disagree completely that we must choose between tradition and modernization due to their incompatibility. Although the development and advancement with modernization sometimes replace previous life styles, mores, even ways of thinking, we must admit that tradition inevitably has influenced, and probably will continuously influence on us in numerous aspects of society.

On one hand, a large number of traditional habits are gradually substituted for modern brands, where the both can not exist simultaneously. Mobile-phone, e-mail and other high-technological communications exclude interpersonal face-to-face conversations to express our hug in time and the situation of sitting down and putting pen to paper to write heartfelt letters. In this fashionable style, we enjoy the convenience with less time involved for free meanwhile we are losing a formerly expressive gesture for others, and we can not reconcile them embracing both the favorites of the two different matter. We have to make a choice. In addition, various pollutions such as air pollutions, water pollutions, food pollutions industrial development brings about could never parallel previous comfortable, clean, and safe surroundings which is rarely full of fast vehicles, heavy-metal contained rivulets, and hybrid wheat, which maybe we do not have a probability to choose.

In addition, what is a lunatic wrongdoing a person even a insightful prophet thinks about brave thoughts and research on human genome plans that cast countless efforts and money on the deciphering the whole human genes, and when previous person glance at a heart-transplanted operation, the first thing after the faint seems to prosecute the criminals, let alone he is told to vote for or against the clones. New thoughts with modern development can not indeed be incompatible with those traditional mores and views.

On the other hand, the society we face to now is actually an expansion of the formerly, rather than a complete reconstruction after erasing. In view of culture, no one can deny the important influences traditional habits and mores, and just because the diverse traditional impacts, our society is showing a diverse revelation each distinguished nations possess, Such as Christmas Day and Valentine's day in western countries, the Spring Festive and dumplings in China and numerous wedding rituals, which are all preserved  
well and quite a little development by cultural collision and cultural mixing resulting from  modern communication. We have chosen a better employment of both tradition and modernization. Moreover, take the process of law enacting for example, the law now limiting and protecting our rights has experienced over a long period for revising, supplementing or abridging on the basis of previous law remains. The former is more rational, more comprehensive, more human-centered while the latter is prone to satisfy the interests of some small group and so inconsiderate or even biased. Just thanks to a suitable expansion or fusion emanated from the previous laws, there are more complete laws to make a proper adjustment when sudden, never-happen matter need a help from laws. Therefore, the satisfaction of the modern laws actually depend largely on the formal laws, that is traditions.   

In conclusion, I keep neutral regarding the opinion that tradition and modernization are incompatible. I just agree in some extent this view due to inevitable conflicts when the two meets, while in some other extent, however, they works coordinately in view of so numerous learning from traditional matters.
