The Character of the Process of Modernization and the Historic View-An Reflection on the Analytic Model of "Internal cause-external Cause"
Abstract
Internal - external analysis model to a community, a country or a culture as a closed system, the traditional and modern opposition, and the modernization of the West interpreted as endogenous. Any of a traditional society and modern endogenous factors limited role, can not bring about social change in modern form; modern Western society is not in the Middle Ages, feudal society, the mother gave birth, but from a world-wide, especially aggregation and fusion of modern China from the factors in the process. As the Western world gathered in an important modern and integrated into a new form of society, modernization of the country will inevitably delay the development of the performance of the process of learning to the West. The analytic model of internal cause-external cause has led us to take a society, a country or a culture as a close system, think of 'tradition' as conflicting with 'modernity', and consider the modernization of the Western as an "en 'dogenous one. The paper points out that the endogenous modern factors in any traditional society were very limited to start-up modernization. The Western modern society was not gestated from the feudalist matrix in the late Middle Ages, but came from a process of gathering modern factors from the world wide especially from China. Because the Western had gathered the important factors from the world wide and amalgamated the modern social formation, the modernization of the late corners couldn't avoid being a process of to learn from the Western
