Modernization is a complex term,used both to define a specific state of social change since the 15th century,rather than the lofty goals of human ideals,and to demonstrate a developmental value concept in line with human expectations,thus becoming an earthly ideal pursued by humanity.This notion has led to two modernization models:native modernization aimed at pragmatic improvement of society and critical modernization aimed at realizing ideal goals.Both approaches pursue social development.In comparison,the former,under the premise of acknowledging the inherent deficiencies in society,endeavors to seek wealth growth,welfare improvement,and public welfare enhancement;while the latter believes that society can be fundamentally rebuilt,thus aiming to transcend flawed modernization development models and solve social problems such as material wealth growth,welfare enhancement,and human nature upliftment.The modernization achievements of the former become replicable social development models;however,the attempts of the latter to leapfrog modernization often lead to the twists and turns of social progress.Thus,for countries committed to achieving modernization goals,it is necessary to carefully distinguish and rationally choose different paths to modernization.
