讲座简介：
The lecture begins with a presentation of modernization, globalization, and cultural (path dependence) theories and how they explain value change. Next, I present personal observations and survey results related to Chinese values on family, personal relations, gender relations, the environment, sources of security and insecurity, and the search for meaning.  The lecture reflects on how China's rapid modernization and globalization have shaped new value structures in China.
