147"Tradition and modernization are incompatible. One must choose between them."
1 有保留的同意前半句，反对后半句
2 无可否认传统和现代在很多时候是不和谐的 因为现代的许多东西是建立在取代传统之上的  比如针对妇女问题传统观念与现代观念的差别，  针对统治者传统观念和现代观念的差别
3 但是 传统和现代还是可以和谐共存的 如果我们能够正确处理二者的关系  比如 小日本 他们明治维新后 西装革履成为人们日常主流服饰 而他们的传统服饰和服在节日时一般传和服  现代西方运动足球棒球深受欢迎而与此同时相扑确被推崇到至高地位，小日本们一边津津乐道的喝着咖啡同时还深谙茶道
4 总的来说 对于传统和现代并不是一定要二者选其一的因为传统与现代是可以统一的

As for the issue that whether can tradition go along well with modernization? And must we choose one between them? I fundamentally share my argument that under some circumstances, it is indeed that tradition and modernization are incompatible, but if we coordinate the relationship between tradition and modernization, it is impossible for us to choose them at the same time.


Admittedly, in some cases tradition is often in conflict with modernization for sometimes the requisition of the built of modernization is the destruction of tradition. Consider, for example, the women movements, which in order to fight for more right of women in society, while when it comes to the notion of tradition about women, we often remind of an image of housewife, providing that feminist did not undermine and overthrow the traditional notion, how can the freedom and equality of women can be attained. Moving on to another more persuasive example-the revolution of society, when faced with the reformation, such as changing from feud to capital system, the striking feature of society reformation is that tradition is completely overturned for the simple reason that it is of impossibility that the profit between tradition and modernization can be pacified. Simply put, whatever else may be said, most people have to admit that in some specific cases we are not able to assuage the confliction between tradition and modernization.


However, that is not to say the relationship of tradition and modernization is always enemy if our government and populace could address the problem correctly and moderately. Here is a case in point to illustrate my position. After the Meiji reformation of Japan, which was leaded by the Meiji emperor, we are surprising to find out that though the west customs has become the main cloths when Japanese are in formal occasion, at traditional festivals they are always changing into their own cloths-Kimono; Though the sports from the west such as football, baseball and so on are popular in society of Japan, their traditional sport-sumo is considered the treasure of their country; Though Japanese like drinking coffee, each individual in Japan is very familiar with sado. From the fact of Japan, it is easy for us to conclude that tradition and modernization, in fact, are compatible only when we could balance the their relationship.




On balance, it is presumptuous to judge that one must choose between tradition and modernization because sometimes as long as we balance the relationship of them, both can still go along with each other. For instance, someone strongly support the suggestion of demolition the ancient architecture for the very old building are dangerous for citizens or cumber the development and building of modern shyscrapers. As far as I am concerned, the problem can also be solved without dismantling anything. Regard of dangerous ancient building, our architectures have been of capable to reinforce the structure of that buildings and to the question of impeding the development of cities, the ancient architecture can be relocated which has been carried out successfully many time. In a word, when faced with the confliction of tradition and modernization, we should take all kinds of aspects into accounts and make the final decision.


To sum up, due to the complexity of the issue, in my point of view, it is arbitrary to say we must choose one of them because of the confliction between tradition and modernization. Actually, effective and pragmatic approaches are proved to be found as long as we do not make too much emphasis on one of the two choices.
