Recent advances in cultural psychology elucidated a number of cultural differences in diverse psychological characteristics and behaviors from perceptions, and economic decisions to religiosity. Also, quantum models of cognition and decision making have been developed to mathematically characterize perceptions, and human judgement and decision making. This study proposes cultural quantum modelling approaches to cultural psychology and neuroscience, by utilizing the mathematical model of quantum cognition and decisions in psychology, economics, and decision science. This approach may help better quantitatively rigorous understandings of cultural differences between Westerners and Easterners, Catholics and Protestants, and other cross-cultural variations in psychological and behavioral characteristics and normative principles of rationality.

"Common Prosperity" represents a transformative paradigm shift in our conception of societal progress, decisively moving beyond the narrow confines of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the primary measure of success. It envisions a state of holistic well-being where human flourishing encompasses not just material wealth, but also robust physical and mental health, equitable access to quality education and healthcare, meaningful social connections, cultural enrichment, personal safety, and genuine opportunities for self-fulfillment and participation in civic life. Crucially, this prosperity must be fundamentally inclusive, ensuring that the benefits of development are shared equitably across all segments of society, actively dismantling systemic barriers based on gender, race, ethnicity, geography, ocioeconomic status, or other identities, and guaranteeing that marginalized and vulnerable populations are not left behind but are empowered to thrive. Furthermore, Common Prosperity is intrinsically sustainable, demanding that the pursuit of current well-being does not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs; this necessitates responsible stewardship of natural resources, urgent action on climate change, protection of biodiversity, and the building of resilient economic and social systems that operate within planetary boundaries. Ultimately, it is a vision of shared global well-being, recognizing the interconnectedness of all nations and peoples, where collective action and international cooperation foster a world where every individual has the foundation to live a dignified, healthy, and fulfilling life, in harmony with each other and the planet.

As we stand firmly within the third decade of the 21st century, the global landscape presents a stark and undeniable paradox: unprecedented technological advancement, interconnectedness, and aggregate wealth coexist with profound and persistent inequalities that fracture societies and destabilize nations. While the post-WWII era lifted billions from absolute poverty, the prevailing model of globalization, often prioritizing unfettered market expansion and short-term gains, has demonstrably failed to ensure that the benefits of progress are broadly and equitably shared. Vast swathes of the global population remain marginalized, denied access to basic necessities, quality education, healthcare, and dignified livelihoods, while simultaneously facing existential threats like climate change, pandemics, and resource depletion that disproportionately impact the most vulnerable. This deepening chasm between the privileged and the excluded is not merely a moral failing; it is the primary source of social unrest, political polarization, mass migration, and geopolitical friction that now define our era. Consequently, the pursuit of common prosperity — a state where sustainable economic development is intrinsically linked to social inclusion, environmental stewardship, and shared opportunity for all, within and across borders — transcends mere aspiration. It emerges as the single most urgent, complex, and defining challenge of our time. Addressing it demands a fundamental reimagining of global cooperation, economic systems, and governance structures, moving beyond outdated paradigms to forge a genuinely equitable and resilient future for humanity.
