What does the failure of social integration mechanism mean?

The "failure" of social integration mechanism refers to the following aspects:

The first is the rise of extreme social thoughts. In recent years, the mainstream western society has a conservative tendency on issues such as trade, immigration and religion. In some European countries, right-wing parties are growing.

The second is the degradation of social mobility. The main reason is that the polarization between the rich and the poor has intensified, the middle class has shrunk, and the healthy flow between social classes has been "solidified". Today, the richest population in Britain 1% has 300 times the per capita assets of the poorest population 10%. Today, the social mobility, national income and social resource allocation in the United States are in the "worst period" since the founding of the People's Republic of China more than 200 years ago.

The third is the intensification of social contradictions. Mainly manifested in the increase of "mass incidents". 20 1 1 The "Occupy Central Movement" in developed countries is the best example, and major first-tier cities in the west have been affected to varying degrees.

Extended data:

The deepest problem in the west lies in its social spirit. For a long time, we believe that American society is full of vitality and cohesion, but in recent years, this conclusion should be revised.

There are deep-seated structural problems in American society, including contradictions between the rich and the poor, class contradictions, intergenerational contradictions, regional contradictions and ethnic contradictions. These contradictions were ignored in the past. One of the important reasons is that after the end of the cold war, the United States only cared about enjoying the monopoly dividend, but ignored the adjustment and reform of its internal structure.

After "9. 1 1", they were busy with the reform and deepening of anti-terrorism, military system, security system and intelligence system, while ignoring the reconstruction of economic system and social system with the times.

This theory is eroding the family structure. Capitalism emphasizes the benefits of individual efforts, while families demand a lot from others. Now everyone thinks that everyone should be like a capitalist, unrestricted, work for the sake of work, maximize their own interests and be profit-oriented.

The lifestyle of capitalists has penetrated into the lives of ordinary people, and many values that could have made life better have been marginalized, family has been put in a secondary position, and communication between people has become less and less.
