Confucius emphasized patriarchy and the authority of the elderly. Nowadays, this authority is waning, but there shouldn't be indiscipline of the young, either. I think Confucianism can balance Western culture which, in the name of freedom, displays less and less moral content. Confucianist culture has problems but Western culture has abolished the meaning of traditional values without perhaps meaning to do so. The West thinks everything can be questioned.
Chinese culture is predominately preservative of values and culture.
We are entering an age in which technology, not morality, will have an immense impact on life. Whoever possesses the machines will try to dominate in economics. Economics dominates attitudes toward moral values. In the next century, many languages will disappear. French is threatened because the French did not adapt to a scientific language, which they think has Latin and Greek sources.
