1. The significance of strengthening gratitude education for college students

1. It is conducive to carrying forward the fine traditions of the nation and strengthening the construction of socialist spiritual civilization

Gratitude is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation, a basic moral character of a person and a spiritual virtue of the whole mankind. The Chinese nation is the most grateful nation, and there are countless records in our culture, such as "loyalty and filial piety", "looking at the clouds and thinking about the relatives", "writing to save the father", "wearing colorful clothes to support the relatives", "crying bamboo shoots", "fighting the tiger to save the father", "returning to the mother in a cage" and "deer milk to serve the relatives" (Guo Jujing's Twenty-four filial piety pictures). The Classic of Filial Piety, which has been circulated since the Han Dynasty, reflects the filial piety culture in ancient China and played an important role in the family moral construction in China. Left a touching poem "but how much love has the inch-long grass, rewarded with three spring rays" (Meng Jiao's "Wandering Son"); It is widely spread that "grace wants to report, resentment wants to forget; The classic words of "reporting bad news is short, reporting good news is long" (Disciples' Rules) reflect the ancient people's recognition and admiration for "reporting good news". Gratitude is not only the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, but also a philosophy of life, which is a person's correct understanding of himself, others and social relations. Gratitude is also a kind of responsibility. It is not only an emotion, but also a reflection of the realm of life. "The grace of dripping water should be rewarded by the spring", and this gentleman also; "Return evil for kindness, ingratitude", this villain also. Gratitude is a kind of life realm, spiritual outlook, work style and attitude towards life. Only by repaying the help of others with gratitude can we make our society more harmonious.

2. It is beneficial to further strengthen and reform the ideological and political education of college students.

It is a concrete manifestation of "being close to life, being close to reality and being close to students" in the ideological and political education of college students, and it is also an important content of the ideological and political education of college students. Gratitude is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. However, due to the influence of the baton of the college entrance examination, both parents and teachers attach importance to it in the basic education stage. Learn to be grateful for life and all those who have helped you, and then enhance college students' sense of responsibility for themselves, their parents and society, and further promote the harmony between people, society and nature. At present, the mainstream of college students' thoughts is positive, healthy and uplifting, but influenced by many factors, some college students lack gratitude, forget those who have helped, illuminated and loved themselves, and even hurt them, so it is urgent to make up the lesson of "gratitude".

3. It is beneficial to help college students establish a socialist concept of honor and disgrace and build a harmonious society.

The socialist concept of honor and disgrace with "eight honors and eight disgraces" as its main content embodies the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and the requirements of the times, and defines the most basic value orientation and code of conduct in contemporary China. As a high-knowledge group, college students should not only become the intellectual elite of society, but also become the moral elite of society. Marx thought: "A person lives not only for himself, but also for others because of some complicated feelings.". One of these feelings is kindness. Because of kindness, you can't just think for yourself. "Kindness is a good link between people, and it is also a link from country to country, from region to region, from family to family, from person to person, thus supporting a society. Therefore, everyone in society should be grateful." As the basic moral value orientation of a harmonious society, gratitude is the source of moral value and the foundation of family and social harmony. Therefore, "Thanksgiving Education" is also a key link to help college students establish a socialist concept of honor and disgrace, build a harmonious society and cultivate modern citizens. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out gratitude education. Through gratitude education, let college students be proud of "learning to be grateful and learning to repay". Taking "ungrateful and ungrateful" as a shame, help them start from now on, start from small things, and consciously set an example in carrying forward the socialist concept of honor and disgrace.

Second, the main manifestations of college students' lack of gratitude

1. Parents' nurturing grace is lost

Filial piety is the foundation of a person's morality. However, some college students can't understand, honor and repay their parents. Some people don't appreciate their parents, commit suicide or even kill their parents when they have conflicts with them. According to the statistics of Zhejiang Provincial Office for Ageing, from 1996 to the end of 21, people's courts at all levels in the province accepted more than 11, cases involving the elderly, including more than 7, cases of maintenance, accounting for 64%. On April 17, 26, an old woman from a village in Xujia Town, Rushan City, Shandong Province reported to the public security organ of Rushan City that her son had abused her for 18 years, and demanded to break away from her parents and even beat them. On April 17th, when his parents were not at home, Xu took some things from his parents' home. On the way, Xu met his mother, and her mother said a few words to him. Xu insulted and beat him in the street, and his mother couldn't stand Xu's abuse and finally walked into the police station 18 years later. In addition, some college students don't respect their parents, don't follow their parents' requirements, go to idolize blindly, and are obsessed with video games, which leads to their parents' suicide. It was reported that in the first half of this year, idolize, a daughter from a family in Xinyang, Lanzhou, Gansu Province, had been chasing her for more than ten years. Her parents also came to Hong Kong with her. When she arrived in Hong Kong, her father committed suicide by jumping into the sea in Hong Kong. Under such a situation, three people came and two people went home. She was shamelessly interviewed by the media all the way, and she was not ashamed when interviewed by the media. Southeast University once conducted a questionnaire survey on more than 1 college students in the school. The contents of the survey involved the number of times students talked to their parents every week, the topics they talked about, the frequency of writing letters, and whether they remembered their parents' birthdays. Statistics show that 82% of students contact their parents by telephone, and the main motive is to ask for money. Only 8% students keep the habit of communicating with their parents, only 8% students contact their parents once a week, only 9% students can remember their parents' birthdays every year, and 74% students admit to lying to their fathers sometimes. "How can a college student who is increasingly ignoring his parents be grateful to others and even the whole society?" There are also college graduates who don't have jobs and become "old people", which hurts their parents' hearts.

2. The teacher's teaching grace has been diluted

The school teacher has worked hard for the students to become adults. It can really be described as "doing my best and dying." However, there are still some college students who don't understand the good intentions, but instead express disgust and boredom with the teacher's well-meaning teachings. Not only do they disrespect the teachers' work, but some people also insult them. It was reported that on May 18th, a young female teacher in Wuxi was stabbed several times and then her throat was cut, and then the police found out that the murderer was actually the teacher's student. Soon, it was revealed on the Internet that students of Beijing Haidian Art Vocational School insulted Mr. Xin, whose hair was gray. On June 9th, He Xiaorong, a teacher of Fuling Vocational Education Center, was so angry with the students ..... There were three consecutive incidents of teacher abuse with great influence in less than one month, which forced us to educate people to reflect on the living conditions of today's teachers. The survey shows that many students with diseases or psychological problems take teachers as the object of hatred and take revenge once they are violated by the outside world. I completely forgot the teacher's teaching. Some college students attribute their success entirely to personal factors, and cannot make an objective and fair evaluation of the work of school teachers. Some college students maliciously default on their tuition fees. After graduation, they can't win glory for their alma mater with practical actions, forgetting that "I am proud of my alma mater today. My alma mater will be proud of me tomorrow.

3. The kindness of the society is neglected

People are social animals, and everyone lives in the care of others and should move forward with a grateful heart. However, individual college students are indifferent, selfish, sophisticated, and their sense of social responsibility is weakened when dealing with interpersonal relationships, and their awareness of reporting is weakened. On April 2, 26, Xinmin Evening News reported: "Being ungrateful makes people feel chilling". For more than ten years, the staff of a youth protection office in a certain district have helped more than 3, orphans and children from poor families to get financial support from all walks of life, most of whom have graduated from college. Few of these recipients thought of saying thank you to those who helped them. Some people not only don't express any gratitude to those who have helped him, but also unreasonably ask others to help them for free. For example, on December 1, 26, Yangcheng Evening News reported that Zhang Haiqing, who had been funded by Sun Li for many years, stopped funding him because of his excessive demands after he was admitted to the university, so Zhang Haiqing wrote to a reporter and attacked Sun Li with insulting language. In mid-August, 27, in a student aid activity jointly held by Xiangfan City Federation of Trade Unions and City Women Entrepreneurs Association, the organizer announced that five poor college students were disqualified from continuing to receive aid. The reason for this is that he didn't take the initiative to make a phone call or write a letter to the sponsor for more than a year, not to mention a word of thanks. The indifference of the five aided college students in Xiangfan, Hubei Province gradually chilled the sponsor.

Third, the main reasons for college students' lack of gratitude

1. There are misunderstandings in family education

Most parents in China like to arrange everything when educating their children, but they are selfless and don't ask for anything in return. Many parents pin their unfulfilled ideals and ambitions on their children and try to compensate them for the material conditions they have not enjoyed. As long as the children are obedient, they are willing to scrimp and save. Family education has become a tool for doting and wishing one's children success. Parents not only create pampered living conditions for their children, but also provide them with a life atmosphere of stars holding the moon. As long as the children live well, parents are willing to work hard and tired, and there is no return at all, which makes the emotion between parents and children, which should be a two-way interaction, become a "unilateral action" of parents' selfless love for their children. Under the background that the strong desire to be a dragon and a girl needs to be realized by games, parents' greatest hope for their children is excellent academic performance. As long as children have good academic performance, it seems that they can "cover up all the ugliness with one handsome boy". Parents' care for their children is more at the material level, and rarely involves the spiritual field, especially the lack of cultivation and education of children's gratitude consciousness. The overindulgence of parents has made many children numb to the love from their elders; Children rely too much on their parents, which makes them lose the ability to live independently. Nowadays, many children don't understand their parents' hard work, squander their parents' hard-earned money, and form a bad habit of being exclusive and arrogant. Parents' doting makes them become an "indifferent generation" who don't appreciate, don't want to appreciate and won't be moved. In today's socialist harmonious society, parents should educate their children not only to accept love, but also to know how to give back and repay love. Cultivating children from an early age to have a "grateful" heart is an essential content of family education. It is not only a kind of etiquette, but also a healthy mentality, and it is also a manifestation of social progress and modern civilization. It is parents' unprincipled doting that "creates" a group of self-centered children with poor sense of independence, who blindly accept love without knowing how to give it. In this regard, Professor Tan Zhenya of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics pointed out: "To cultivate children's gratitude, we must first make them feel grateful to their parents, which is the most primitive and instinctive emotion, and then' old people and old people' will extend this emotion to people around them and to the whole society." Tan Zhenya stressed: For today's teenagers, gratitude consciousness is not simply a reward for parents' upbringing, but also a manifestation of responsibility, self-reliance, self-esteem and sound personality. It is urgent to strengthen gratitude education for children.

2. There is a one-sided tendency in school education

School education has become a tool for further studies and employment. Over the years, our education has paid more attention to the enrollment rate and employment rate, and teaching achievement has become the only pursuit of the school, even dominating its survival and development. Under the influence of this value orientation, educating people becomes more insignificant, and it is difficult for gratitude education to enter the teaching scope of higher education substantially. Some colleges and universities pay too much attention to the utility of education and ignore the educational function of education. Students are selfish, lack of self-cultivation and emotional indifference, which is related to the insufficient implementation of moral education in colleges and universities, especially the neglect of gratitude education. Thanksgiving education should have become an important part of school moral education, but it is generally ignored or even forgotten in middle schools and universities, which is extremely unfavorable for students' healthy growth and all-round development. Since gratitude education in middle schools has not been implemented, moral education in colleges and universities should be supplemented with this lesson. Higher education must take students' "adults" as the starting point, let students "grow up first and then become talents", and strive to cultivate "virtuous and talented" successors, which is the focus of moral education in colleges and universities and the important reason why gratitude education must be strengthened. Some school leaders and teachers think that "moral education is a soft indicator and intellectual education is a hard indicator", and there is a phenomenon of "speaking is important, doing is secondary, and being busy is not necessary". Under the baton of further education and employment, many schools regard culture as the only thing, and moral education has become an empty slogan, which has caused loopholes in children's emotional education. Colleges and universities take academic qualifications and professional titles as an important measure to evaluate teachers. Moral education teachers are not only few in number, but also not given due attention, which leads some college students to enter the desert of emotional counseling.

3. There are deviations in social education

Social education has become a tool of desire and utility. Nowadays, with the increase of various negative influences in society and the deterioration of social atmosphere, people who contribute to society can't get due respect and reward, which has brought many negative effects to college students at the beginning of their life. Gratitude is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation and an important content of socialist moral education. The whole society should set off an upsurge of gratitude education, advocate and carry forward the culture of gratitude, and create a good atmosphere of gratitude, so that people can move towards harmony in the atmosphere of gratitude.
