A public lecture on "CONFUCIANISM IN A GLOBALISING WORLD"
Globalization enhances cultural diversity and accentuates cultural identity. Unlike Westernization and modernization, which is conceived as a process of homogenization, globalization is characterized not only by economic and political convergence but also by social and cultural divergence. While, for ecological, technological, financial, or security reasons, we are inevitably intertwined in an ever-expanding network of relationships, we are acutely aware of our distinctiveness and uniqueness as individuals and groups.
