【正确答案】
1、正确答案:During the 18th Century, in writing the book The Social Contract, the French thinker Rousseau repeatedly asked: how could one live in an orderly group while still " free as ever" ? In the end, his answer to this question is a "social contract. " This contract, to be put in simple words, is "promise", and is the trust between people and system, as well as between one person and another. China"s Confucian culture emphasizes trust, for "trust" is even listed among the "five Confucian virtues"(benevolence , righteousness, propriety, faithfulness, and wisdom). In our traditional culture, the people mainly rely on trust established by blood, marriage, geographical ties, and popularity, and not by rules or contract. In recent decades, the overwhelming market reform has effectively promoted China"s social transformation, shaking the long-standing social connections mentioned above among acquaintances. The development of market economy has gradually increased trust between strangers, for Chinese people are increasingly accustomed to do things by rules. In the context of economic globalization, China has only to observe the rules, can it quickly integrate into the international community. A person and a nation who are good at playing petty tricks instead of observing the spirit of contract will find themselves eventually lose the opportunity to obtain great wisdom. In its modernization drive, China not only needs more capital, technology and scientific management, but also the spirit of contract.
