Urgent! Urgent! Urgent! On the relationship between morality and social material life?

In terms of the relationship between morality and material living conditions, we used to emphasize material determinism in theory and the decisive role of material living conditions in the whole social life, but in concrete theory, we violated material determinism in time and consciously or unconsciously, and unilaterally emphasized the inconsistency and imbalance between the development and change of morality and the development and change of social material living conditions. In fact, the inconsistency and imbalance between them can only be a local and temporary phenomenon under certain conditions, but their consistency, correspondence and balance are unique. It is necessary to form a good interest environment through the construction of institutional ethics to ensure the unity of interest and morality; Try to seek Tao.

Balanced and coordinated development of moral and material living conditions.

Through the analysis and judgment of some phenomena, this paper expounds the material characteristics, cognitive level and development and evolution law of morality, and points out the reality and necessity of strengthening ideological and moral education through schools at all levels. Through education, more students will realize the power of morality and become pillars.

1. Ask questions

Moral consciousness determines people's thoughts and behaviors. Although it does not directly show its own existence, it can be reflected in many ways. It is embodied in our life, study and work. If in life, attitude disorder and poor performance at work all reflect the lack of moral consciousness.

Morality has material characteristics and does not depend on human subjectivity, but it can be improved through subjective efforts. The development and evolution of human morality is not only spontaneous, but more importantly, it should be strengthened through education.

What we usually call ideological and political education, to a great extent, is centered on moral education, which spans the country, nationality, cultural background, education level and status.

Any country, at any time, emphasizes moral education. Every nation has its own unique moral code. Every stage of life has a concrete manifestation of morality. For example, in childhood, parents and society should educate their children how to look at everything around them and lay the foundation for their healthy growth and normal development. In the learning stage, students should be educated to abide by laws and social ethics, and become people who are beneficial to society, not social evils, and strive to become talents; In the working stage, everyone is educated, self-denial and conscientious in performing their duties; In life, we should respect the old and love the young, be thrifty and housekeeping, and behave correctly; In the process of management, we should be fair, benefit the people and benefit one party instead of harming the other.

However, there are many phenomena that we usually hear and see, which do not meet the above general purpose. This raises a question. Why is this? Besides the subjective factors of the parties themselves, is there a lack of education?

The education system has made a lot of efforts, and the political and legal system has many rules. Why are violations of law and discipline still repeated?

People in the primitive state may not be so developed in material civilization, but they are particularly rich in spirit. Some illiterate workers in rural areas do not have such high academic qualifications, but they are not ignorant. They will not take the initiative to harm others and benefit themselves. Many people swear that great people are corrupt, and once they get that position, they will continue to rot one after another, knowing that they will be ruined. Some people think that in the economic society, the cost of making mistakes is small, the risk is small, and the benefits are great. For different people, the cause and effect are different, and the warning line of risk is different, but the more profound thing should be the lack of moral consciousness.

On the surface, morality is a concept, but deep down, it is a substance, and people at different levels have different understandings of it, so different people will have different actions. To carry out education, we must conform to the law of education, first of all, enrich the image and gradually rise to abstraction and consciousness, and then carry out extensive education. In education, we should refer to traditional excellent allusions and models. Education is a long-term task. The learning house is in schools at all levels, and the performance house is working. Schools at different levels should have different levels of educational content.

At present, moral education in primary and secondary schools and universities is rich in content and widely implemented. The core of morality should be carefully understood.

2. The core position of morality

2. 1 Understand the level of morality

Among the masses, there are some words like this:

L if you want to be unknown, you must do it yourself;

L Morality is the foundation of life;

L If there is a good family, there will be Qing Yu, and if there is a bad family, it will be troubled;

L skynet is long, sparse and not leaking;

L many wrongs will be hanged;

L Germany matches heaven and earth;

These seemingly unrelated epigrams all describe thoughts, morals, behaviors and results.

Morality, the most authoritative concept, comes from Laozi's Tao Te Ching, which has been widely recognized and deeply studied all over the world and is an excellent cultural heritage. People who don't understand it are still criticizing it, which leads to undue ideological confusion, no suitable ideological system to replace it, no suitable curriculum to preach its fundamental connotation, and leads to people's ignorance. For example, a person can be compared to a leaf. A person does not know morality, just as a leaf does not know its own materials.

In Laozi's exposition, he divided his understanding of morality into three categories, namely, three levels, namely:

Staff sergeant hears the word and works diligently;

The sergeant heard that living is death;

The corporal smiled. Just laughing is not enough.

Its meaning, that is, people with quick thinking, open consciousness and noble behavior, listen to the meaning, act immediately, bravely implement, and be diligent; Sergeant, that is, ordinary people, listen with a grain of salt, seem to be unaware of the existence, hesitate to act, and have unknown consciousness; As for the corporal, he refers to a person who is rigid, slow-thinking, complacent and ignorant. He thinks there is no such thing at all, and jokes about a real gentleman, saying that he is pedantic. These corporal, reckless, run amok, often have to wait until after beheading to repent. Therefore, Lao Tzu said that he couldn't laugh, which is not enough to prove that Tao is Tao, and Tao is not an ordinary Tao, but a thoroughfare. Because man, like everything in the world, is the son of the earth. The earth is a cosmic celestial body, and it is just a small dust in the celestial system, while man is a precious substance that can carry morality. This is called "man governs the land, and the land is heaven". Celestial bodies come from the Tao and are bound by the law of the Tao, which is called "Heaven", so the avenue is invisible. People are in the Tao, and most people don't recognize them. The law of Tao is self-contained, so there is nothing else to restrict it. This is called "Tao self-nature" ("Tao is natural", that is, Tao self-nature, and "ran" is an ancient Chinese modal particle). Tao is not regulated by the earth's natural environment, and the modern concept of "nature" is only a product between heaven and earth, which is not the same.

It is precisely because of this relationship that the Tao cannot be recognized by ordinary people. Ideological corporal, because of self-isolation, is even less aware of it. People's correct thinking needs learning and education, so education is needed to make ordinary people strengthen their understanding of morality and abide by the power of morality and its evolution law; Let the corporal feel it

2.2 the evolution of morality

People carry the invisible Tao, and the Tao appears as virtue in people. The combination of virtue and heaven and earth, harmonious interaction with heaven and earth, determines the fate of life, just as the common people say, "if you get more help, if you lose it, you will get less help."

Virtue, also known as "weeds", is highly respected and astounding. Therefore, virtue is a substance, although it is not easy to be recognized, but it exists objectively.

If you don't know Tao, you can know that "ceremony", that is, the "ceremony" of etiquette, is a kind of order and state.

If you don't even understand etiquette, you can use "righteousness" to educate and restrain people's thoughts and behaviors, that is, the "righteousness" of loyalty and righteousness.

To take a step back, if you can't even do benevolence and righteousness, you can use "loyalty" to restrain and educate people, that is, loyal "loyalty." For example, loyalty to the country, friends, career and family.

At the very least, if Zhongcheng Lian can't do it, he can at least be filial, that is, filial to his parents and elders. People can betray their relatives and friends, but they must honor their parents, otherwise even animals are inferior; This is the last advantage that a person should have, and it is the smallest foundation of existence in nature.

These evolutionary levels can also be continuously improved in education. When education is carried out in different levels of schools, universities are the last level of standardized and systematic education, which determines the quality of the output of the education system.

These levels are not only conceptual, but also material.

Human beings themselves carry the tasks and kinetic energy endowed by nature, and the human senses are only the carriers to complete basic functions. These functions are limited. People can't see infrared rays and ultraviolet rays, can't hear ultrasonic waves and infrasound waves, can't smell poisons, and can't feel tiny vibrations. These are all related to human materials, but the body made of these materials can learn more about nature through training or through instruments.

People's smoking, drinking, gambling, destruction and other characteristics all correspond to the physical elements in the body, no matter how small, but they all play an important role and have been scientifically proved. People's good qualities, thoughts and behaviors will also produce good substances, some of which can be recognized by people and some of which have not been discovered by science for the time being. Just because substances are not discovered by science doesn't mean they don't exist or don't work. Three hundred years ago, people could not understand modern scientific concepts such as infrared ray, ultraviolet ray, electric field and light speed. More than 2000 years ago, when two children were arguing about Japan, even Confucius, a great scholar, could only take a realistic attitude and admit his ignorance. The situation now is that the ignorant wield a big stick. But all natural phenomena will not exist because of people's likes and dislikes, and they will continue to work.

Therefore, people's good moral character and moral quality can be fully displayed. Some of them can be perceived by people around them. Therefore, moral literacy spans time and space. Even if you move to another country, you will get a response. Many people have fled and been repatriated. This is the best verification.

There is a classic story: a big tiger saw a man coming with a burden from a distance. The tiger chased him a few steps and rushed from behind to eat him. I suddenly found that he still had some advantages nearby, so I didn't bite him or hurt him. The tiger retreated, but the man was scared out of his wits and couldn't walk. The woodcutter on the mountain found this scene and was afraid to make any noise at first. When the tiger left, he went to help the man. Through the conversation, he learned that the bearer was a robber, and he saved some money to help his brother's widow and children. If it weren't for this advantage, this man would have been eaten by a tiger and would not exist.

2.3 Moral education

After realizing the materialized characteristics and strength of morality, it should be implemented concretely. Only schools are qualified to undertake such obligations. The learning conditions in the school are good and systematic, which conforms to the laws of education and learning.

There are many contents of ideological education, and moral education should be the core, the central right way to cultivate talents, and it can supplement other contents.

Moral education should go from shallow to deep. It is reported that a city plans to carry out the activities of reading "Four Books and Five Classics" in the primary school system. This is a good start. These contents are the cultural essence with a long history and can stand the test of history.

Higher-level schools have the conditions to carry out systematic and diversified development, and combine the characteristics of modern people to continuously enrich the content of ideological and moral education and improve the effect.

The function of education is to make people at different levels respect morality, increase morality, standardize behavior and act consciously. There is an old saying: "A gentleman is cautious and independent."

3. Concluding remarks

Morality has a profound meaning in national culture and a wide range of disciplines, and it is a substance in the depths of thought. It needs to be developed and applied in the modern education system to improve the actual effect of ideological education, that is, to spread excellent cultural traditions, create a mainstay for society, enable future talents to inherit and carry forward spiritual and material achievements, and cultivate a benign social atmosphere.
