Social responsibility
The British generally have a sense of social responsibility. Some people reached a very high "Lei Feng" realm. There is only one China "Lei Feng", but I have to say that Britain's "Lei Feng" absolutely more than one, but also more than 10.
This sense of social responsibility is manifested in many forms, some of us in the eyes of Chinese people a little bit difficult to understand.
My landlord did not fly the Green Party is to her beliefs. Last year, the Lebanese war, 100,000 British people sacrifice rest time Saturdays to London demonstrations are peaceful.

So charitable organizations in the United Kingdom has a long history, and there is broad, mature enormous impact.
Tolerance
British society is very tolerant with a long characteristics. Here are many reasons, religious, historical, demographic composition and so on are all reasons.
Tolerance is the basic content of the first maximum tolerance of different views, allowing all kinds of views published exchanges. Tolerance is a necessary condition for democracy. As a famous statement said: I do not agree with your point of view, but the expression of the death to defend your rights.
Tolerance also means that we should respect other ethnic groups of people, other cultures. Finally, the United Kingdom also represents tolerance asylum, which is accepted in other parts of persecution of people ran to the refugees and so forth here.

It is entirely possible that no British tolerance, not Marxism.
Creativity
Britain has a strong culture of the creative factor, or the atmosphere of the community as a whole is to encourage innovation, and appreciate the various means of differentiating itself (here also tolerant factors play a role).
Weeks said that China is to encourage innovation, but we should recognize the contrast from the relatively conservative society as a whole, people who lack the means of differentiating itself understanding, encouragement and protection.

British history is the most important document "Magna Carta", the English called Grand Charter, which is the original Latin, called Magna Carta. The basic background is in the June 10, 1215, England's aristocracy who because of dissatisfaction with the autocratic King to unite, the threat of force, in consultation with the Kings a lease for part of the King to give up power, respect for the independence of the judiciary, so that the monarchy by law norms.

Late in the 17th century, that is from 1666 after more than 30 years, Locke wrote several of the now very famous book and political papers, which are generally classified as political thesis "government", a Chinese translation of domestic Commercial Press edition.
"On" is the most basic view is opposed monarchical power God granted. This is the earliest human rights theories. Locke also first to propose the distribution of power and government restrictions, that the executive power and legislative power should be separated, but in order to prevent an arbitrary way, the legislative power should be higher than that of the executive power. Locke vigorously advocate tolerance (toleration) the spirit of this end was made papers.
Locke's thinking on these people who later had a great influence. Decentralization view was later French philosopher Montesquieu to develop into a separation of powers theory, freedom and human rights thinking of the founding father of the United States Thomas Jefferson and others to accept and deepen; Voltaire's thinking on the Lockerbie to France , greatly influencing the French Enlightenment and the French Revolution later.
Incidentally, the death was buried in the Lockerbie Oxford University's Christ Church College cathedral, if you to the University of Oxford's largest colleges visited, we can see the signs on the ground.
