Freshman thinking test questions: Talk about how to realize personal value and social value

Every person is a unity of self-worth and social value. In the relationship between man and nature, man is the subject of the value relationship, and nature is the object of the value relationship. This is certain. However, in social practice and in the relationships between people, the subject and object positions of specific people in value relationships are not fixed. For others and society, on the one hand, a person is the subject of needs, has his own needs, and obtains the satisfaction of needs in his relationship with others and society; but on the other hand, he can use his own existence to and activities to meet the needs of others and society, and become the object of the needs of others and society. As a subject of value, human beings need to obtain material and spiritual satisfaction from others and society for their existence and development. This is what is usually called asking for from society. Because society meets people's needs, people can exist and develop. From an individual person's perspective, this is his self-worth. As a value object, a person's practical activities also meet the needs of others and society to a certain extent. This is a person's social value, which is what we usually call his contribution to society. Therefore, in social life, people's practice reflects two values: one is people's self-worth, and the other is people's social value. Human self-worth is the satisfaction of human needs by practical activities, that is, the significance of human existence and development. Human needs are multifaceted and multi-level. Maslow once divided human needs into five levels with different levels. Whether a person can realize self-worth and the degree of realization depend on two things: first, it depends on personal hard work; second, it depends on social support. The key to whether society supports it lies in whether the individual's struggle is valuable to society. Individuals need to obtain living materials and other conditions for survival and development from nature and society, and these become the conditions for self-struggle; individual hard work contributes to society and meets the needs of society for advancement and development, and society will reward the strivers. Return and satisfy his needs for continued existence and development. In this way, in the cycle of request-struggle, contribution-reward, individuals and society meet the development needs of individuals and society and promote the development of society. Human social value is the significance of individual behavior to others and society, that is, individual satisfaction of social needs and individual contribution to society. The higher a person satisfies society, the greater his social value, and vice versa. If he harms social interests, then he provides negative value to society. Everyone has certain self-worth and social value, and self-worth and social value are inseparably linked. The basic requirement of Marxist values ??is to adhere to the unity of the two.

Whether it is a person's social value or self-worth, there is a problem of turning potential into reality. A person's value changes from potential to reality, which is conditional and restricted by various conditions.

First of all, from the perspective of objective conditions, the realization of personal value depends on the development of society. Advanced social systems can create a good social environment for the realization of personal values; developed social productivity and science and technology can provide diversified practical forms for the realization of personal values; the rapid development of society can create a good environment for the realization of personal values. Create more opportunities.

Secondly, from the perspective of subjective conditions, the realization of personal value is closely related to subjective quality. For example, the life ambition of dedicating oneself to the interests of the country, nation, society, and the people; the pioneering spirit of not being afraid of setbacks, self-improvement, and positivity; the integrity of being lenient to others, strict with oneself, loyal to one's duties, and forgetting one's own interests; being knowledgeable and talented, Multi-purpose work skills; stable and strong psychological endurance and extensive interpersonal skills, etc., all lay the foundation and prepare the conditions for the realization of personal value.

Finally, the only way to realize personal value is to have the courage to participate in social practice. Only by having the courage to participate in social practice can we show the magnitude of our contribution to society, and can our self-worth be truly expressed and recognized by society. Social practice forms are diverse. With the development of society and changes in people's needs, new practice forms emerge in endlessly. What kind of practical form do people living in real society use to realize their own value? This is relatively complicated and should vary from person to person. For example, individuals with high knowledge and skills can realize their own value by choosing knowledge- and technology-intensive practice forms.

Individuals with low cultural and technical levels can realize their own value by choosing labor-intensive practical forms, or by relearning, re-improving, and changing social roles.

In short, if a person wants to realize his own value, he must actively participate in social practice. At present, he must devote himself to the great practice of the motherland’s socialist modernization and reform and opening up, and contribute his or her own share in practice. Intelligence and talent, so that one's own value can be fully realized.
