How should contemporary college students establish correct values ??for the future?

Of course they are the values ??of the socialist core value system

Most contemporary Chinese college students have received ideological and political education in Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory, and support the party’s leadership and reform Open policy and love for the socialist motherland. Many college students can realize that human value not only includes society's respect and satisfaction for individuals, but also includes individuals' responsibilities and contributions to society. They work hard in their studies and are eager to learn more knowledge and skills to adapt to competition and the needs of socialist construction. Many college students are concerned about national affairs, the party's principles and policies, and are concerned about national security and people's safety. Many college students actively demand progress in politics and actively move closer to party organizations. After applying to join the party and joining the party, they are basically able to strictly demand themselves in study, work and life, and play a leading role.

However, although most college students agree with or accept the communist ideal, that is, they believe in communism, there are also some people who believe that realizing the communist ideal is elusive, and even I simply don’t believe in communism. Most college students agree that "the value of life lies in dedication", but they often fail to fully put it into practice. There are also some college students who have no faith, no lofty ambitions, and no goals for future life. They value material interests over selfless dedication, value money and benefits over the pursuit of ideals, and value equal exchange rather than love. There are also a small number of college students who are influenced by money worship and hedonism. They regard "making a lot of money" and "being an official and getting rich" as the criteria for happiness in life, and regard luxury and enjoyment as the biggest goals of life. They hate studying, often plagiarize their homework, and cheat on their exams. Some use a college diploma as a springboard for advancement, and join the party as a means to seek benefits. What they dream of is to get ahead, become an official and make a fortune.

It can be seen that the life values ??of contemporary college students take various forms, some are positive and some are negative, and they develop in different directions. The reason is inseparable from the reform and development of the socialist economic and political system. First of all, under the impact of the commodity tide and various ideological trends, people's ideas and values ??are constantly changing. Most college students can adapt to the changes and development of the new environment, have unswerving communist beliefs, are down-to-earth, and study hard; some college students are weak-willed and cannot withstand the attacks of sugar-coated bullets, and have communist beliefs in their minds. There are also some college students who have poor ability to distinguish right from wrong. Under the influence of various complicated ideological trends and information media, they have lost themselves, and even have problems with their value orientation in life. Secondly, the serious unhealthy trends and negative corruption that exist in the current society also have a negative impact on contemporary college students' establishing correct life values. A small number of party members and cadres cannot withstand the test of governance and reform and opening up. They become corrupt, violate laws and disciplines, and abuse power for personal gain. This not only seriously affects the party's prestige, but also has a negative impact on college students' establishment of correct life values, causing some college students to be confused and shaken in their ideals and beliefs. Some are disgusted with politics and cynical, and some have strengthened the idea of ??becoming an official and getting rich. consciousness.

2. Moral quality

Nothing in the world is absolute. The same goes for people, there are no absolute good guys and bad guys. What we usually call good people and bad people are relative terms. Ideological and moral quality is an important measure of a person's good or bad. From primary school to middle school to university, students at each stage receive different levels of ideological and moral education. For contemporary college students, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thinking of the Party's "Three Represents" are undoubtedly necessary teaching materials to strengthen ideological and moral education. Patriotism, collectivism and the spirit of hard work are values ??and traditional virtues that contemporary college students must possess.

Most contemporary college students agree that an important aspect of correct life values ??is to contribute to the country and the collective, and agree that collectivism is the core of values. But there are also many students who are individualistic and self-interested. The expansion of individualism and egoism has led to the dilution of the concept of collectivism. Some college students, especially party members, can put others before themselves, the country before the collective, and act for others and the collective everywhere. They are willing to help others, have the courage to contribute, can put the overall interests first, do not care about personal gains and losses, and perform very well in their daily study, life and work. Other college students believe that human nature is selfish and choose individualism as the criterion for their conduct.

When it comes to things, think about yourself first and put personal interests above the interests of the country and the collective. There are also some college students who regard the relationship between people as a relationship of equivalent exchange. They always proceed from "self-interest", are indifferent to their classmates, have no enthusiasm for collective activities, do not care about national affairs, and lack a sense of social responsibility. They believe that the realization of personal value only depends on personal knowledge, talents, opportunities and interpersonal relationships, and has no direct relationship with personal morality. A small number of students do not pay attention to civilization and social ethics, behave rudely, talk vulgarly, and even fight, steal, gamble, and some even embark on the path of robbery and murder.

Among college students, due to differences in personal family conditions, consumption behavior is also different. Some college students live a simple and simple life, scrimp on food and clothing, and work part-time jobs when necessary to earn living expenses, so that they can support themselves, reduce the burden on their families, and never spend money recklessly; some college students spend money lavishly because of their relatively affluent family conditions. Regardless of how hard it is for their parents to make money, they are accustomed to living the life of aristocratic children; there are also a small number of college students who engage in excessive consumption despite their poor economic conditions, spending tomorrow's money today, and even taking loans and borrowing money to satisfy temporary happiness and enjoy. Many people spend money on the five popular items among contemporary college students, namely: computers, mobile phones, MP3s, CDs, and voice recorders. Only a few of the five items have nothing, some only have one or a few of them, and some have all five items, and they are famous brands or imported goods. This is not a small amount of expense.

There are two main reasons for the occurrence of the above situations. On the one hand, it is determined by the characteristics of contemporary college students. Of course, it is also inseparable from the current social environment. Although college students grew up in the era of reform and opening up, they have always lived in a peaceful environment and shouldered heavy learning tasks, which often makes them experience the changes of the times in a special way far away from reality. For them, the only important competition in life is the college entrance examination. Therefore, when they enter higher education institutions as the pride of heaven, many people think that their future is guaranteed and they can breathe a sigh of relief, stop studying hard, and relax. Set strict demands on oneself. Although some students continue to study hard, they are forced to do so due to the dual pressure of postgraduate entrance examinations and employment. Moreover, they have no enthusiasm for learning and are not very efficient. For college students who are about to graduate, this sentence is usually used to describe "those who are pursuing postgraduate studies live like pigs, those who are looking for jobs live like dogs, and those who are taking postgraduate entrance examinations live like pigs and dogs." This description is not an exaggeration. point. As for junior college students, who neither have the pressure to take postgraduate entrance exams nor are they busy looking for a job, the most popular saying among them is "depressed". Some are depressed because they have nothing to do, and some are depressed because they are unwilling to do anything. With the advent of the Internet age, more students choose to go online to escape reality or get rid of this depressing situation. The Internet is usually used for chatting, playing games, watching movies, browsing entertainment websites, etc. Some students with strong self-control can still return to reality after a period of relaxation and laziness, and actively study or participate in social practice. Other students with poor self-control are stuck in it and cannot extricate themselves. They become addicted to playing games or engage in unrealistic online dating, wasting a lot of time.

On the other hand, the deepening of reform and opening up and the establishment and development of the socialist market economy have brought about rapid economic development and market prosperity, and the emergence of high-income classes. Many breakout people are proud of their high consumption. , squandering money lavishly. Under the socialist market economic system, some people are allowed to get rich first, and the income gap between people continues to expand, and unfair social distribution occurs. Coupled with the exaggeration and incorrect guidance of a small number of public opinion media, it has caused restlessness and imbalance in the social mentality. The value concepts and consumption concepts of college students have also been impacted and affected by this, so a small number of college students do not consider their own financial affordability and pursue advanced consumption. Some people are vain, show off their extravagance, wear famous brands, compare themselves to each other, and pursue high-end consumption. In order to pursue high consumption, some people do everything possible to make money without worrying about studying. The amount of money they earn has become the main criterion for these college students to measure the value of a person.

3. Insights and views on solutions

To sum up, the life value orientation of contemporary college students is generally good and positive, but the complexity and diversity of society Transgender has also caused many college students to be unable to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values, and even develop into deformities. It can be seen that it is imperative to strengthen the life values ??education of contemporary college students.

It is also a long-term, complex, arduous and meticulous work. It must be based on the characteristics of contemporary college students' ideological and moral conditions, work hard on the combination of theory and practice, and teach students in accordance with their aptitude, so as to achieve real results.

At present, my country's higher education is undergoing reforms, vigorously promoting quality education, and striving to establish a scientific ideological and political work system in colleges and universities that adapts to the new era, and has also achieved certain results. However, there are also problems of backward educational means and insufficient educational intensity. The ideological and political education of contemporary students should not be rigid and rigid, but should be diverse in form, rich in content, and highly targeted. Bad ideological tendencies among students should be fundamentally solved; attention should be paid to students' political theory learning, Strengthen the cultivation of students' ideological and moral character. Use Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents" to educate and arm contemporary college students, strengthen party building, guide college students correctly, and drive college students as pioneers and role models. At the same time, teachers are also role models for students, and their image directly affects the establishment of students' life values. Therefore, attention should be paid to the role of leading cadres and teachers in college political work in all aspects, and to establish a good image of "teacher ethics". In addition, in addition to strengthening the education of "patriotism, socialism, and collectivism," students must also be educated on social ethics, professional ethics, and family virtues, and promote the spirit of diligence, thrift, and hard work. Education methods should be more diversified. In view of the characteristics of college students who like to participate in competitive activities, students should be organized to listen to situation reports, watch videos, visit exhibitions on the achievements of reform and opening up, essay contests, speech contests, debate contests, themed class meetings, club activities, etc. Way. In recent years, the more popular entrepreneurial planning competitions, scientific and technological invention and creation competitions, advertising, trademark and slogan solicitation and other activities, as well as the establishment of some important awards, have stimulated students' enthusiasm for self-employment and provided opportunities for college students to display their personal talents and abilities. It provides a very broad platform and undoubtedly plays an extremely important role in establishing correct life values ??for college students.

2. How college students should study and construct the socialist core value system

1. Through their own knowledge reserves and youthful vitality advantages, promote the correct worldview of "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces", Popularization and sublimation of outlook on life and values.

The concept of honor and disgrace is a reflection of social existence and is formed on the basis of world outlook and values. As a pair of moral categories, "honor" and "humiliation" have been closely accompanying mankind since the beginning of human society. "Rong" means glory and honor, and "humiliation" means shame. They reflect the affirmation, positive evaluation and negative given by others, groups, and society due to practical or communication activities in social life. Negative evaluation, and the resulting psychological sense of satisfaction, pride or shame, and inferiority complex. Honor and disgrace involve the pursuit and rejection of personal personality. Seeking honor and rejecting humiliation is a unique phenomenon of human beings. The concept of honor and disgrace is the basic view that people hold on the basis of worldview and values ??about what honor and disgrace are, their mutual relationship, and the attitude towards honor and disgrace in life practice. People from different eras, nationalities and stages, with different world views, outlook on life and values, have different views on honor and disgrace. Engels said that "every social group has its own concept of honor and disgrace." Only when a person truly understands what is glorious and what is shameful can he consciously restrain his words and deeds. Only when a society establishes a clear concept of honor and disgrace can it become a spiritual and cultural country and a true world power. Colleges and universities must effectively improve college students' awareness of the importance of establishing a socialist concept of honor and disgrace from the perspective of "who to train" and "how to train people", and make the socialist concept of honor and disgrace a code of conduct and habit for college students.

Adhere to the guiding ideology of Marxism. Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for our party and country. In the construction of our country's socialist core value system, Marxism has provided us with a correct worldview and methodology, and a powerful ideological weapon for correctly understanding the world and transforming the world. Only by correctly understanding the general trend of economic and social development and correctly understanding the mainstream and tributaries of social ideology using Marxist positions, viewpoints, and methods can we see the essence and clarify the direction of complex social phenomena. In the long-term revolutionary struggle and socialist construction practice, our party relied on the correct guidance of Marxism and achieved great historic achievements in China's revolution, construction, reform and development. The guiding position of Marxism in the life of the party and the country determines that it is the fundamental guiding ideology of the socialist core value system.

2. Promote and uphold the communist ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Ideals are the soul of a nation and a society. Marxism provides a scientific explanation of ideal issues and intrinsically links ideal issues with the laws of human historical development, enabling people to have a more scientific grasp and conscious understanding of ideal issues. Chinese Communists guided by Marxism have always adhered to lofty ideals and insisted on combining idealism with realism, making lofty ideals an indispensable part of the spiritual life of our party and our nation. For Communists, the highest ideal is to realize communism. At this stage, building socialism with Chinese characteristics is the common ideal of our entire society. To build a socialist core value system, we should use the ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics to unify our thinking, inspire people, and gather strength. In the great practice of building socialism, the Chinese people have chosen to build socialism with Chinese characteristics. Since the reform and opening up, the vigorous development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics has not only made the lofty ideals long pursued by the Chinese people step by step closer to reality, but also demonstrated that China is exploring new development paths and directions for human society in its great journey of modernization. The communist ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics demonstrates that we will build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the first two decades of the 21st century and basically achieve modernization by the middle of the 21st century.

3. Uphold and carry forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core. The national spirit and the spirit of the times are the spiritual support on which a nation depends for its survival and development. A nation without an inspiring spirit and noble character cannot stand on its own among the nations of the world. Over the course of more than five thousand years of development, the Chinese nation has formed a great national spirit centered on patriotism, featuring unity and unity, peace-loving, diligence, courage, and self-improvement. In the new era of reform and opening up, the Chinese nation has formed a spirit of the times that dares to reform and innovate. In the process of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization, the national spirit and the spirit of the times have become more and more prominent in the cohesion and motivation of the Chinese nation. They have been deeply embedded in the vitality, creativity and cohesion of the nation and have become It is an integral part of the socialist core value system.

4. Adhere to and establish the socialist concept of honor and disgrace. Comrade Hu Jintao clearly proposed the socialist concept of honor and disgrace with "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as its main content. He emphasized: "In our socialist society, the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and ugliness must not be blurred. What we insist on, what we oppose, what we advocate and what we resist must all be clear-cut." The concept of honor and disgrace is the world view and outlook on life. , important content of values, establishing a correct concept of honor and disgrace is an important foundation for forming a good social atmosphere. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace, with the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as its main content, clarifies the most basic value orientation and behavioral norms of contemporary society, embodies the basic socialist moral norms, embodies the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, excellent revolutionary morality and the spirit of the times. The perfect combination. As an important part of the socialist core value system, the socialist concept of honor and disgrace has become and will continue to become a banner leading social trends.

Secondly, for college students to play their due role in promoting the socialist core value system, they must understand the outlook on life, which is the value of life.

1. Life is the basis for the existence and development of the world, and the existence of living individuals is the first premise of human history. Marx pointed out: "The first premise of all human history is undoubtedly the existence of living individuals." Human life existence and the activities of creating history are always guided and driven by certain life values. In the long process of human beings seeking truth, goodness, beauty, and holiness, they always express, intentionally or unintentionally, directly or indirectly, the pursuit of the value of life, the transcendence of the existing self, and the understanding of one's own limitations. Breakthroughs are precisely the search for the value of life by countless individuals that paint a colorful and magnificent picture of human history. Although there are different life values ????in different time and space experiences, fundamentally speaking, whether one can have scientific, timely, and progressive life values ????is not only related to the wonderfulness of individual life, but also affects the entire society. Harmony, stability and development.

2. From the perspective of levels, life values ??include primitive, simple, and fragmentary ones, as well as scientific, systematic, and theoretical ones. The former is more perceptual and spontaneous, while the latter is more rational and consciously generated.

The outlook on life under the socialist core value system enables life values ??to get rid of spontaneous, emotional, and fragmentary traces and elevate them to the realm of rationality, system, and science.

4. There are two broad and narrow understandings of life. In a broad sense, life refers to all animals, plants and inorganic substances that have metabolism, reproduction, growth and environmental adaptability. The existence of life must meet three conditions: first, living organisms cannot exist without being separated from the relationship with the outside world; Second, each system that constitutes life can react organically within, between systems, and between systems and the outside world; third, each system that constitutes life is not closed, but open, and it is in the openness that material interactions with external objects can occur. Exchange with energy to achieve the growth and development of life.

In a narrow sense, life refers specifically to human life, which has three characteristics: first, it is closely related to other individuals; second, it has an inner complete structure, which is a systematic whole. , so it is a living thing; the third is self-transcendence through continuous efforts to achieve a higher form of self-realization or self-transformation.

5. There are two concepts related to "life", one is "life" and the other is "survival". "Life" is the sum of life events, life processes, and life tastes that people experience in their lives. "Life" is the basis of "life". Without "life", there is no "life"; "life" is "life" representation and manifestation. Generally speaking, the existence of life is more special. The life events, life processes and life experiences experienced by everyone are different; but from the perspective of the existence of life, it shows more " "Universal" character: Human natural life all originates from a kind of blood existence, and all have the same compound of life. Human cultural life all originates from human transcendent instinct. This can be called the "Great Harmony" of life. ". However, this kind of "unity" of life is only a basic existence. Due to the "individualization" tendency and "particularity" characteristics of human life, the realistic picture of life deduced by each person is complicated. It creates the "great differences" in life, and life is the intermediary for life to move from "great unity" to great differences. "Existence" generally refers to the existence of all life, that is, the existence of all living things can be called "existence". It is a physical, perceptual and objective existence. For people, "survival" refers to the minimum survival condition of human life. "Life" is the premise of "survival", and it is also the axis and subject around which "survival" always unfolds and rotates.

6. Under the socialist core value system, for what and how do people "live" and "survive"? Marxists believe that the outlook on life and the world are closely linked. The outlook on life is the concrete manifestation of the world outlook in the field of life, and the world outlook is the ideological and theoretical basis of the outlook on life. Generally speaking, what kind of world view there is will be what kind of outlook on life. Because people have different social statuses in social life and different world views, they will inevitably form different outlooks on life.

7. "When the river goes eastward, all the waves are swept away, and the heroes of the ages are famous." Why do some of the representatives who participate in the party, as the wheel of history rolls forward, become heroes and be remembered for generations, while others become bears and be infamous for thousands of years? I think an important reason is that when they participated in the program, their views on life, their attitudes towards life, and their goals in life were different. Some do it for the revolution, while others do it to become an official, get rich, and become famous, so they embark on different paths in life. Take Mao Zedong and Zhou Fohai as examples. Mao Zedong set his ambition to "transform China and the world" as early as his student days. As a result, he rushed from Shaoshan to the Tiananmen Gate Tower and became a great figure of the Chinese people. leader. Zhou Fohai said after the First Congress of the Communist Party of China that the reason why he joined the revolution was because he wanted to be an official, get rich, and become famous. Because his personal goals could not be realized for a while, he later fell into the arms of the Kuomintang and Japanese imperialism and became a scum of the nation. In the end, the people sent him to the guillotine.

From the different life trajectories of the party’s representatives, we basically know what the outlook on life is. The so-called outlook on life refers to people’s fundamental views and attitudes towards life. Outlook on life includes three aspects, namely life purpose, life attitude and life evaluation. The purpose of life is why people live, and what goals should be established in life; the attitude of life is how to conduct yourself, how to treat and deal with various contradictions encountered in life; life evaluation is how to view the value of life, The meaning of life.

These three aspects are interrelated and indivisible whole. Among them, the purpose of life is the core of the outlook on life, the attitude towards life is the specific embodiment of the outlook on life, and the evaluation of life is the basis of the outlook on life.

8. A correct outlook on life refers to the fundamental view and attitude towards life formed under the guidance of the proletarian world outlook. The characteristics of this outlook on life can be summarized in three sentences, that is, it is based on the understanding of the laws of development of human society, with collectivism as the core, and with the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly. It comprehensively and correctly answers basic questions such as why people should live, who they should be, and how they should behave. It is by far the most progressive and scientific outlook on life.

If we want to establish a correct outlook on life, we must consciously and resolutely achieve the "four objections" and the "four establishments." First, oppose the egoistic outlook on life and establish an outlook on life that serves the people wholeheartedly. Only when you work hard for the country, society, nation, collective, and the interests of others, and contribute your talents without reservation, can such a life have real meaning, be a glorious life, and a shining life. ”

Second, oppose the hedonistic outlook on life and establish a hard-working outlook on life. If a person only lives to satisfy his personal needs of eating, drinking and having fun, what is the difference between him and animals? He can only be a scientist The "pig pen ideal" mentioned by Einstein will inevitably lead to degeneration and misdirection. If "you live for enjoyment, I live for enjoyment, and everyone enjoys it together", who will provide the material living conditions for society and others? On the contrary, the outlook on life of struggle believes that the source of happiness is in labor and creation and in the struggle for collective interests. Only in order to progress and develop can we provide people with material conditions for enjoyment. This outlook on life reveals the true meaning of the word "happiness". The proletariat has never opposed legitimate personal happiness and moderate material enjoyment, but requires that material life must be improved. Unify it with spiritual life, unify labor creation and life enjoyment, and unify personal happiness and people's happiness. Marx has a famous saying: "The person who can make the most people happy is also happy himself." Engels also pointed out profoundly: "Personal happiness and everyone's happiness are inseparable." ”

Third, oppose the outlook on life of playing games and establish an outlook on life that takes life seriously. In terms of ideological and moral character, we should pursue high aspirations, make contributions, selfless dedication, and serve the motherland; in terms of work style, We should pursue the prohibitions, be hardworking and plain, be brave in pioneering, and persevere; in terms of the taste of life, we should pursue health and upwardness, take pride in hardship, be rich and honorable, and be poor and humble; in terms of behavior and appearance, we should pursue neat clothing, civilized manners, and dignified behavior. , cheerful and generous. A famous person once said: "In the long river of history, life is short, but it is always in the process of development and change, good and bad, success and failure, good and evil, honor and disgrace, obedience and adversity. There is a critical point. This is your attitude towards life. It depends on whether you play with her or treat her seriously. "In social life, various temptations such as power, status, money and beauty, comfort and enjoyment, wealth, honor and disgrace have always affected us. Only by establishing a serious outlook on life can we be good at controlling ourselves, not fighting for power, and not fighting for money. Don't be greedy, don't be obsessed with sex, maintain noble moral sentiments and perfect personality, and always study and work with strong energy

Fourth, oppose a negative and decadent outlook on life, and establish an optimistic and upbeat outlook on life. . An optimistic outlook on life believes that the road is tortuous and the future is bright. People who hold this outlook on life firmly believe that their historical mission is consistent with social development and that their career will inevitably succeed, so their attitude towards life always remains. With this kind of outlook on life, one can overcome difficulties and move forward in the journey of life. Marshal Chen Yi, who is familiar to everyone, once said something very profound after the failure of the Nanchang Uprising in 1927. Heavy troops were sent to pursue and intercept the rebel forces led by Zhu De and Chen Yi. The struggle was extremely difficult. Under such circumstances, the morale of the troops was low, and some people became pessimistic and wavered. In order to maintain the team's correct confidence in the difficult situation, Chen Yi. He held an all-military meeting and personally conducted political mobilization. He said: "The Nanchang Uprising failed, but the failure of the Nanchang Uprising does not mean the failure of China's correctness. China's correctness will eventually succeed. We all need to be able to withstand the test of failure.

It is easy to be a hero when you are developing victoriously; it is much more difficult to be a hero when you are retreating after failure. Only heroes who have passed the test of failure are real heroes. We need to be heroes when we fail! "Later, under the leadership of Zhu De and Chen Yi, this team finally overcame numerous difficulties and obstacles and successfully joined forces with the Autumn Harvest Uprising team led by Comrade Mao Zedong in Jinggangshan. As correct fighters with a lofty mission, today we still have to keep in mind Marshal Chen Yi's words suggest that we should face difficulties, adversities, setbacks and failures on the road of life with a positive and optimistic attitude towards self-improvement, work hard, ride the wind and waves in the boat of life, and sail forward.

Austrian. A famous quote by Strovsky ends this lesson: “The most precious thing for a person is life. Life is only once for everyone. How should we spend this only life? Whenever he recalls the past, he can not regret wasting his years and not be ashamed of doing nothing; when he is dying, he can say that my whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent thing in the world. cause - the struggle for human liberation. ”
