The Influence of Market Economy on Teenagers

The Influence of Market Economy on Teenagers

First of all, let me explain to you what a market economy is. Market economy (also known as free market economy or free enterprise economy) is an economic system. Under this system, the production and sales of products and services are completely guided by the free price system of the free market, not by the state as planned economy. Market economy is also used as a synonym for capitalism.

The description of such technical terms may not be easy to understand, so I will make a comparison now to let everyone know more about what a market economy is. In the era of planned economy, that is, our parents' generation, everything was not bought and sold with money, but with food stamps, oil stamps and cloth tickets. However, now our economy is a market economy, that is to say, it is an economic system that is bought and sold with money.

So, let's get down to business now. What influence does the market economy have on teenagers? Let's compare the planned economy with the market economy and see the positive and negative effects of the market economy on teenagers.

According to our group's survey of our parents, we know the following positive effects of planned economy on teenagers, that is, the negative effects of market economy:

Teenagers in the planned economy period

Money view: it should be because money was not popular at that time and money was not paid much attention to;

Morality: Having a good political outlook, being a party member and other spiritual ideals.

Values: everyone is equal, and society treats everyone equally.

However, in the current market economy, there are some corrupt ideas in teenagers' view of money. The first is the dislocation of social values, the negative side of the tide of market economy, the decadent bourgeois ideas of money worship, money supremacy, hedonism and pursuit of enjoyment. Those vulgar and low-level life philosophies have had a more direct and profound influence on the thoughts of contemporary youth, corroded young students, made some students confused and confused, deviated from the correct political direction, and made them accept the unhealthy trend of society without criticism. They have doubts about their original beliefs, so that many people disregard personal morality, advocate the supremacy of money and power, and pursue personal self-worth, which has dampened students' enthusiasm for learning.

Not only that, people began to become selfish. Give a very simple example: during the planned economy period, neighbors lived in harmony, and neighbors often came to visit, so it doesn't matter whether the door is open or not; However, due to the influence of the market economy and the theft and jealousy caused by the dislocation of young people's values and morality, people can no longer see the original harmonious scene.

In a sense, selfish psychology reflects people with selfish desires, especially those whose outlook on life and world has not yet taken shape, that is, teenagers have a kind of psychology that only cares about themselves and ignores others. The direct cause of selfishness is the drive of money desire and the spread of corruption. In the commodity society, money, a special commodity, has begun to appear important in people's minds, but some people, influenced by the trend of money worship, attach too much importance to money and think that money has everything, so as to seize money by hook or by crook and make money without conscience, and regard money as the first pursuit of life, which will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the healthy growth of teenagers. Selfishness often leads to crimes such as knife robbery, kidnapping and murder of minors.

On the evening of May 19, 2002 1 1 30, Xiao Ping, Wu Youming and Mo Hei rode Liu's Qingqi from Xincheng Road Town, qiongshan district, and threatened Liu with watermelon knives together with Wu Youming and Xiao Ping. Subsequently, the three men drove their motorcycles to Xiangou Town, Ding 'an County and sold them to Jiang Fengxiong. After receiving RMB 600 yuan, give them 200 yuan to splurge.

They were very proud after their first easy success. After being concocted according to law, a motorcycle such as Meng was robbed in the early morning of May 29, 2003. After succeeding again and again, they became more and more courageous, and whenever they were free, they gathered together to wait for an opportunity to commit crimes. (Nanhai News Network)

Now let's talk about the positive influence of market economy on teenagers.

During the planned economy period, teenagers' outlook on life is: to be an iron rice bowl career that contributes to society, such as workers and teachers. Because everyone was equal in the society at that time. This stifles people's enthusiasm and creativity, and no one wants to do more than others and do something thankless.

However, the current market economy is not like this. Now as long as you pay more, you will get more. And some people began to rack their brains to think about how to make more money instead of giving in to small occupations. So more and more people start their own businesses.

Entrepreneurship is something that dares to give up. It seems that most parents in China hope that their children can successfully complete their four-year undergraduate studies, and even find a stable job in a city close to home after graduation from graduate school or doctoral degree. Xiang's "doing nothing" in college must not be understood by his parents, and the actions of the other two entrepreneurs seem even more unforgivable. But it is this "doing nothing" experience that makes some ambitious young people set foot on the starting point of success and start a life of struggle for their careers. In fact, the deeper reason is that teenagers' restless heart drives them to choose the road of R&D and innovation.
