What is involution?

First of all, let's look at the origin of the word "involution": "involution" is an academic term and is often used as "involution" in academic literature. The concept of involution was first used by the German philosopher Kant in his book Critique of Judgment. Two anthropologists put forward the concept of involution. One is Alexander Aleksandrovic Gordon weiser, who named the phenomenon that a cultural pattern cannot be stabilized or transformed into a new form after reaching a certain final form, but only becomes more complicated internally. Through the Internet, many college students use it to refer to irrational internal competition or "voluntary" competition. Now it refers to the phenomenon that peers compete for limited resources and make more efforts, which leads to the decline of personal "income-effort ratio", which can be regarded as "inflation" of efforts.

Secondly, talk about my views on the phenomenon of college students' general involution. As a college student, the word "involution" suddenly became popular around me last year. I remember the first time I heard this word because the school was running for the excellent league branch. As a good friend of the class organizing Committee, tell me that the special paper of 1 class is the same major. Although it was the first time I heard people around me use the word "involution", I understood its meaning in a second, which was really in place in this context. But why do college students suddenly roll up? In my opinion, this will not happen overnight. In fact, "quantity" has always existed, but it was not so serious before. With the rapid development of the times, we are more and more anxious about the period of change. With the emergence of the word "selling anxiety", involution is like a gust of wind without mercy. The prevalence of involution in colleges and universities, on the one hand, shows the mentality of contemporary college students who are brave in struggle, forge ahead and unwilling to lag behind, on the other hand, it also reflects the helplessness of "wasting their efforts". Perhaps it is more appropriate to quote a sentence here: "fake efforts", which seem to be efforts, have no effect.

Then, let's talk about my views on how to face the phenomenon of "involution". In fact, we all know that "involution" is not good, which wastes extra time and physical strength, but will not get the due reward. We should reject involution like "fake efforts", learn to plan ourselves, make clear our goals, and make ourselves a person who can learn to play. Why do we kill others when we are exhausted? Let's become a clean stream of "anti-involution" in universities.
