Abstract(in English) To induce whether we can obtain a sustainable society shifting our paradigm from the materialism to the eco-conscious idea, a multi agent simulation model was established. The model was primarily featured with a dilemma structure encouraged by a confliction between each agent's private desire to earn more and environmental conservation problem. Another pronounced point is the fact that the model has two layers from the viewpoint of evolution system. The subordinate layer is a learning system entailed with Finite State Machine (FSM) and Genetic Algorism (GA), which is carried with each individual agent to determine his/ her next step behavior how much he/ she earns to maximize his/ her fitness function. The supra system is the so-called Value System of which gene pool is shared within the society. The Value System stipulates, or actually defines in other words, agent's fitness function, which affects on agent's behavior respectively. The Value System of every agent was set to be entirely ego-oriented at the beginning of the simulation episode. A numerical experiment based on the model reveals a marvelous scene that under a certain condition related to assumptions of the Value System a group of agents is getting a paradigm shift from the ego-oriented materialism to the eco-conscious sustainable society. The key condition is a latent existence of several values to lead sustainability in a long run, even though they do not work at all at the beginning of the episode.
