ABSTRACT

Based on the construction and its rational theories of Habermas's living-world,this paper analyzes the characteristics of plague and adjusts them according to Chinese social framework and realistic conditions during plagues.The social rescuing system and its sociological rational evolution style are also analyzed based on the functional framework of government,social culture and individuals.Individual's life style and behaviors have both been adjusted due to high pressures of plagues and government's standardization and interferences to the plagues.But seen in the long run,rational evolution of individual's life style depends on the accumulation of time,civilization,and the recognition of medical ethics among general public.
