Speech on civilization and security (300-400 words is enough)

Hello everyone!

The content of my speech today is "Civilized etiquette accompanies me"

If you lose today, you are not considered a failure, because you will come again tomorrow.

If you lose money, you are not considered a failure, because the value of life is not in the wallet.

If you lose civilization, you are a complete failure, because you have lost the true meaning of being a human being.

Civilization covers the relationship between people, people and society, and people and nature. Its main functions are, first, to pursue personal moral perfection, and second, to safeguard public interests and public order.

Speaking of civilized etiquette, I thought of a story. Once, Comrade Lenin was going downstairs. In the narrow aisle of the stairs, he met a female worker carrying a basin of water upstairs. When the female worker saw it was Lenin, she stepped back to make way. Lenin stopped her and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. You have already walked halfway with your things, and I am empty-handed now. Please go over first!" He said the word "please" very loudly and kindly. Then he leaned against the wall and asked the female worker to go upstairs before he went downstairs. Isn't this also a reflection of good civilized etiquette? I don’t want to give too many examples of great people here, because this can easily lead to an illusion: thinking that civilized etiquette is only possessed by great people and celebrities, then we will not need to feel guilty for our more or less uncivilized words and deeds; or He believes that even if he fulfills the requirements of civilization, he will not become a great man or celebrity. Not only do we need moral big shots, we also need a group of moral people. When we come into contact with a person, we often give him some comments: "This person is of high quality and elegant"; "This person is well-educated and speaks elegantly"; "This person is so bad that he can't even say a polite word"; "This person is vulgar and full of swear words"; "This person is too sloppy, his clothes are wrinkled, and he has not even washed his face"... A high-quality and educated person must have good civilized etiquette. Only such people will be respected and welcomed by others. There is an old saying: "A little success is like nature, and habits become natural." The story of "Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times" shows that only by respecting others can you be respected and trusted by others, and achieve success in your career. Zhou Enlai devoted his whole life to the cause of the party and the people, but every time he went out to inspect work, he always shook hands with waiters, chefs, guards, and medical staff in person to express his gratitude when he left the place. Premier Zhou is a model of respecting others and a role model for young people to learn from. The level of civility in a society can reflect the level of civilization in a society and a country. If a person does not abide by social civilization, it will affect his own image in a small way and the reputation of the country in a big way. During the Qing Dynasty, Minister Li Hongzhang was on a mission to Russia. In a public place, his bad habit broke out and he spat everywhere. He was exaggerated and ridiculed by foreign reporters, which embarrassed the Chinese people. This is a historical lesson about not abiding by social civilization.

Public civilization is a manifestation of social consciousness, and public civilization is based on the level of personal moral cultivation. Just imagine, if someone doesn't pay attention to his own civilization, will he have a good public civilization? Won't! Personal civilization and etiquette are the root and foundation. If people want to have a good public civilization, they must start with themselves and around them. Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun said: "If China wants to compete in the world, its first priority is to establish people, and then everything will be done after people are established." "Erecting people" means to improve people's thoughts and civilized cultivation. Human civilized cultivation is not related to It is something you are born with, but it is something you have to continuously improve upon. To improve personal cultivation, you must first devote yourself to studying and improve your cognitive level; when your cognition reaches a certain level, you will have the ability to distinguish right from wrong; when you have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, good and evil, you must correct your own mentality and not violate With your own conscience, try to make everything you say and do conform to moral standards, and your self-cultivation will be perfected. This is what the ancients said: investigation of things, knowledge, sincerity, correct mind, and self-cultivation. Improving personal moral cultivation will have the basis for promoting social fairness and civilization.

The civilized atmosphere of a society also has a great impact on its people. Why do you say this? I believe some students have experienced it personally after having been to Europe or Japan. Don’t talk about big things, just look at small things like crossing the road. As long as the red light is on, even if there is no car on the road, foreigners will never cross the road. They think this is a fair and civilized code that must be observed. Let me ask, in such an atmosphere, who would run a red light unscrupulously? This is the power of social atmosphere.

But think about it again, if we don’t start from ourselves, where will this social atmosphere come from?

We have received education in civilized etiquette since childhood, and many classmates can talk endlessly about civilized etiquette. But how can we not feel heartbroken when we see lunch boxes and drink bottles discarded everywhere on campus, and when we hear the curse words uttered by some students? Are we all "giants of language and dwarfs of action"? Wang Shouren, a great scholar of the Ming Dynasty, said, "Knowledge is the idea of ??action, and action is the effort of knowing; knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge; knowledge and action are one entity and one effort. Knowing without doing is just unknown." We accept civilization What is the difference between being stingy about performing etiquette education, or even doing the opposite, and never receiving social education? Therefore, if we want to practice social civilization, we must work hard on this "unity of knowledge and action" and learn from ourselves. We must work hard on our words and deeds to say goodbye to uncivilized behavior.

Civilized manners, civilized behavior, coupled with a quiet, elegant and comfortable environment, and a rich cultural atmosphere will inspire many students to continue to explore and seek knowledge. Good civilized etiquette and habits can affect your study, your life, and even your future life. So why not do it? Only those with profound cultural heritage, elegant conversation, and decent manners can be called truly connotative beauty.
