【W3.1】Do you agree with this description of human nature attributing evil to economy?임애가(LIN AIJIA）

  I agree with that view.There is an old Chinese saying that "people die for money and birds for food", which means that people will do anything to compete for interests.

 Although there are some people in the world who do not care about fame and fortune, there are many conflicts in society because of economic disputes.Small enough to fight because of economic disputes, big enough to kill and set fire to because of economic disputes.It can be seen that in the hearts of many people, their own interests are the bottom line, and once they touch the bottom line, they will be controlled by anger.

 Moreover, I don't think it's because of poverty, but because they realize the importance of money to them.Money is often closely linked to family, social and moral values.In modern society, money, as a symbol of social status and power, often leads people to pursue more money and wealth while ignoring other immaterial values.This greed and dissatisfaction can easily lead to moral degradation and even cause various social problems.But in modern times, when science and technology are developing so rapidly, it is inevitable that society will be more harmonious only if everyone makes his or her spirit no longer barren.

The “Why Wikipedia” video explains that Wikipedia is driven by a radical idea: anyone can edit. This openness has obvious risks, but surprisingly, it works. Why? Because Wikipedians follow a core principle called “good faith.” The idea is that editors assume others are acting with good intentions. They might disagree or make mistakes, but they are seen as partners in a shared mission, not enemies. This idea of good faith collaboration is explored deeply in Reagle’s writings. In the Foreword, Lawrence Lessig praises Wikipedia as an ...

China and Globalization The relationship between China and globalization is one of the most significant themes in 21st-century international politics, economics, and cultural exchange. As the world's second-largest economy and the largest developing country, China plays multiple roles in the globalization process: as a beneficiary, a driver, and a participant in shaping the rules.   Historical Background   Reform and Opening-Up & Globalization   China's adoption of the reform and opening-up policy in 1978 marked the beginning of its full integration into the globalization process. [1]   By introducing foreign investment and joining international economic organizations (such as the World Trade Organization), China gradually transformed from an agriculture-based nation into a global manufacturing hub.   Accession to the WTO   In 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) [2] , a critical milestone in the globalization process.
