A nation’s progress and its success in modern science—while maintaining its core values and avoiding assimilation into surrounding, perhaps more advanced, nations—actually depends on its ability to absorb foreign cultures and adapt them to its own. By holding fast to its traditional culture as a firm foundation, a nation preserves its unique character, ensuring its social, intellectual, and psychological development rests on a steady, established base.
