Age Differential Hypothesis

Each society has its unique sociological environment which its younger generations and older generations live through. Ideally, that would be the best for all of them. However, it is only a more permissive environment and under certain conditions which allow each generations to live in accordance to its biological/psychological needs; otherwise some generations will have to live with its dominant generation. A case in point is to due to its physical and economic constraints, most Hong Kong citizen are live in a homogeneous environment as compared to higher variability of in USA. Thus the culture that is shaped for the dominant generation thus has the strongest influence to all generations in Hong Kong. It maybe claimed that in the unique sociological constraints in Hong Kong, the emotional/intellectual attributes across the generations are more similar as compare to other places, just different biological expression of similar behavioral patterns in according to their age. For instance, Internet access is availability cheaply and widely for most part of Hong Kong; thus younger generation may use it to email and chat with their friends, writing blogs; while older generation also use it to email and chat with their friends, writing blogs. The only difference is the content of their action, but not the overall intend, purpose and effect of their behavior. However, Internet technologies are essential dominant by younger generation, and the older generation who use it for similar purpose may have to adjust to the change that brought by the younger generation in the sense that many I.T. firm cater their business toward the younger generation. Thus, like it or not, the younger generation thus exert a stronger influence on the older generation in this aspect of their life. It is only unusual that the top post in Hong Kong government are often dominated by 40's instead of 20's-30's in most countries(?), thus in the aspect of political, that cohort has exert the strongest influence to all generation in Hong Kong.

誰是資本主義社會中真正的主人?

因為父母的關係,我自小便認識不少生意人,不久我便想通了:原來生意人表面看來像是八面威風,但根本是金錢/市場的奴隸,再想深一層,其實在資本主義社會 中,沒有人是自己真正的主人,只有錢或市場定律才是社會上每個公民的主人。因為生意人只是在用錢消費時比其他人神氣,然而你卻不是他唯一一個客人,你不光 顧自有下位客人光顧,所以他們可以真正神氣的時侯其實很短。另外,生意人的金錢一定是來自其他人,為什麼其他人要讓生意人賺他們的錢呢?是不是他們的錢非 要給這一個生意人賺不可呢?而當生意人要賺他們的錢時,難免要悲躬屈膝,神氣不來,除非市場是被壟斷。因此在資本主義社會中,由由資本的多寡建構出最常見 的主從關係,但是再大的資本家都不可能時時刻刻做自己真正的主人,他需要顧客更需要員工去工作,結果是整個社會沒有一個真正的主人,每個人最多可以做自己 五分鐘的主人。這就是資本主義社會!
