经济发展及其所引发的社会变革正在改变东亚儒家社会的世界观。其中最引人注目的就是,人们从强调勤奋工作、取得成就等向强调生活质量(享受)、自我表达以及更加充实的生活方式的转变。在这种观念变化的影响下,人们变得更加支持平等,对不同的观点和生活方式也更加宽容。这些社会现代化后出现的价值观被称为“后现代”价值观。后现代价值观念较强的人们在政治上更加活跃,表现在他们更加积极地争取个人权利和政治权利、更加倾向于民主政府。同时,他们也更强烈地要求政府廉洁、奉行平等和包容的公共政策、加大环境保护的力度。这些都意味着,随着中国等东亚社会的经济和社会发展,人们后现代价值观的加强,这一地区的人们会要求更多的民主权利,要求政治向更加民主、政府更加廉洁有效、社会更加平等和包容的方向发展。
Economic development and the social changes it causes are changing the worldview of East Asian Confucian society. One of the most striking is that people emphasize the quality of life (enjoyment), self-expression and more substantial changes in lifestyles from the emphasis on hard work and achievements. Under the influence of such a change of mindset, people have become more supportive of equality and more tolerant of different perspectives and lifestyles. The values that emerge from the modernization of these societies are called “postmodern” values. People with stronger postmodern values are more politically active because they are more actively pursuing individual and political rights and are more inclined toward democratic government. At the same time, they also urged the government to be more assertive, implement an equal and inclusive public policy and step up environmental protection efforts. All of these mean that with the economic and social development of East Asian society such as China and the strengthening of people’s post-modern values, people in this region will demand more democratic rights and require that politics be more democratic, the government be more clean and effective, the society more Equal and inclusive direction.
