The phrase 'people quality' concerns me! What exactly do you mean by it?
Again it's probably my bad translation, I translated from the term lf.
The term people quality refers to a person's degree of conformity to modern day rules and ideas (or western rules or ideas). It has nothing to do with the person being a bad or good person. It's just a measure of how adaptable he or she is to modern world rules.
Some common examples of low people quality observed in many asian countries include:
- disobey traffict rule
- pirating
- littering
- tax evasion
- bribery
- refuse to line-up when checking out at a supermarket
- stores selling food well passed its expiry date
- people stealing puplic equipment such as power line or sewege cap.
- building are constructed using low grade material
These are just a small fraction of low people quality behaviors commonly observed in most asian countries. Most of these behaviors originate from two important aspects of western thinking that asians tend to have problem adapting to. The two aspects are democracy and justice system. A majority of asian's low people quality behaviors result from a lack of understanding and respect for democracy and justice system. Some major consequencs are high crime rate, political instability, environmental degradation, and social unrest due to injustice.
India is doing a little bit better than China in the democracy category. However, the two countries still have a very very long way to go to teach their people to respect democracy and justice system. This is not accomplished in a matter of months or years, or decades. Until then, India or China will never be a true superpower.
