Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Symmetry and non symmetry, as a pair of common phenomena and relations in natural world, have long been studied by scholars of natural sciences. Great achievements have also been made. But the question whether this pair of phenomena also exists in human society has not been answered yet. This article, by investigating the phenomena and laws of symmetry and non symmetry in human society, will illustrate both the internal and external causes of social development. It also explores the relationship between symmetry and non symmetry and social law.
