7、现代化既是一个过程，又是一种状态。从政策角度看，它既是不同国家现代化的世界先进水平，又是追赶或保持这种先进水平的过程，同时文化具有多元性。目前世界各国都在自觉或不自觉地经历某种现代化过程，如果愿意都可以把现代化作为一个国家目标。
7. Modernization is not only a process, but also a situation. It includes both the advanced level of modernization of different nations in the world, and the process to catch-up or keep this advanced level with the cultural pluralism from a policy perspective. Almost all nations in the world are undergoing some kind of modernization consciously or unconsciously at the moment, and the modernization drive can also be set as a national goal if they will.
