The rule of natural selection is applicable here, but tochange a custom is never easy.It is considered in the Western world that, Western cultureis built from a toilet bowl, or modern civilization is built onprivate car. Does a toilet bowl really bear much social signif-icance？ Does a private car really have more importance thanthe space shuttle？ However, such inventions really havechanged people's lifestyle, behavior and thinking style.Custom represents a stable lifestyle, backed by a specificsocial & cultural system, with underlying economic pattern.If the economic pattern is not changed, the cultural systemwill hardly change, so will custom.
