Unfortunately, it appears that the East is following the footsteps of the West in the way in which societies should evolve. The West's social evolution is better represented by the term of involution, regression of culture and social improvement. In addition, the industrial-market economies of the developing nations are being cloned after the West's models, and, more so, the U.S. model which is pregnant with individual human and civil rights deformities. China's abandonment of its cultural/ethico-moral principles supplanted by the West's laissez-faire, anarchistic and irresponsible expansive economies propelled by greed is the last strike against human societies. Th U.S. and China appear to be the most egregious culprits in offending nature's and human rights: the US in its ever-increasing hunger for consumption, and China in its ever-increasing greed in production and flooding world markets with its over-production of consumer goods. China, with its 1.5 billion people, appears to me to have lost sight of its sense of universal and human responsibility and has become more zealous than any other country in its application of the Darwinian principles of "survival of the fittest". Everything in China is expressed in superlative absolute terms: the most, the biggest, the largest, the greatest, etc., just like the U.S. I do not see any indication of a change in this trend... Even India appears to be following a similar social involution... irresponsible conduct towards the protection and expansion of universal and human rights.
