Summary of modern youth moral education

Youth moral education is an important means of cultivating socialist revolution and building successors. For decades, youth moral education has achieved historic achievements, and at the same time accumulated rich experience in practice. With the development of the times, this work must also continue. make changes. In the past 20 years of reform and opening up, great changes have taken place in our society, and many changes have taken place in the minds of people, especially young people. But most of the methods of youth moral education we have used so far are still the product of the planned economy, and there are some influences of extreme leftist thoughts. Then, how do we persist in reforming, opening and reforming youth education? Marxism tells us that social existence determines social consciousness. The biggest change in our society in recent years is the way of production and management. Changes in ownership and social life: correspondingly, the space for youth social activities is unprecedented. In order to adapt to these changes, the moral education of young people must constantly expand their fields and extend their reach to all aspects of youth social life. Give full play to its increasingly important role. sO100

First, pay attention to youth social hotspots

The social status of youth is a change in traditional society in the way of changing social production patterns. Young people do not have independent social status, and their social consciousness and behavior are strictly restricted by the traditional values ​​of society, whether in the political field, or in the fields of social production and life, the social experience, production skills and economic status of middle-aged and elderly people. The dominant values ​​are enough to impress and emulate the younger generation. However, in today's society where technology and information are the main characteristics, whoever has the most up-to-date science and technology and the latest information can take advantage of production and life. The old knowledge and experience required for this is becoming less and less. In many fields, middle-aged and older people have begun to lose their advantages, and gradually formed a youth-oriented value orientation, which has become a trend of modern society, but The values ​​orientation of the youth is not as stable and deep as the traditional values. It has been maintained for decades and has remained unchanged. It is often developed and spread in a wave style.

The formation and development of youth social hotspots is like a typhoon: a novel hotspot is heard from a certain place, spread rapidly among young people, and gradually form a "eye" with cultural color and material outer shell. Many young people are eager to spread. I followed suit and formed a stormy group of values. No matter what the local direction was at the time, the ministry would be affected by it, and even the whole society would have to admit its existence and follow suit. The study found that in all the trends, information dissemination and market economy have been used without exception, and commercial behavior has been used as a tool to promote the popular music, diploma fever, overseas fever, computer fever, friendship, fashion Heat, beauty and hairdressing, etc. These 'hot' have made thousands of young people with enthusiasm, with psychological cravings, chasing and experiencing, intoxicated to follow and participate, in which young people can not Avoiding the influence of various values, optimism, honour and disgrace, life and death, and group view, producing attitudes toward the state, the people, labor, science, and towards others, and to each other, producing different moral understandings and behaviors: it should be said that The impact of these social trends on young people is enormous, but its impact on youth is unorganized and disordered, with great blindness. It has the potential to create a new and positive moral consciousness for the majority of young people. behavior. It may also cause some young people to be adversely affected and form negative and decadent moral consciousness and behavior. These situations are rare in the economic era of planning. Therefore, under the new situation, we have social trends, our social organization and education. Institutions and educators often feel that they are unpredictable and helpless, so that this disorderly state can naturally occur and develop, so that the majority of young people can spontaneously sway and get the guidance and education they deserve. The formation of moral character is very unfavorable. We must change our existing ideas as soon as possible, liberate ourselves from the closed mode of moral education in the past, move toward society, move toward youth, go into every field, eliminate educational blind spots, and seize hot issues. Multiple channels and media. Flexible and flexible, and taking advantage of the situation to maximize the development of positive factors. Inhibiting negative factors, so that each social hotspot of the youth is in full accordance with the main theme of social morality.

Second, scientifically beautify life

The heart of beauty is there for everyone, and the youth are even worse. However, in the planning economy, many workers and peasants are in collective labor and collective activities, and youth pursue common beauty. The content of youth aesthetic education is mainly to appreciate art. As for the beauty of personality, basically can't talk about it. Nowadays, seeking knowledge, seeking wealth and seeking beauty are the mainstream of youth social life. The content of youth aesthetic education should run through the whole society, the food, clothing, housing, travel, and manners, and express one's civilization and moral cultivation, which is an indispensable part of morality and sentiment. The current problem is that many young people out of curiosity, pursuing novelty and excellence, while being surprisingly beautiful and blaming for beauty. This is divorced from the scientific nature of beauty, and it is also out of the seriousness that life should have. Some people are too eager to pursue material enjoyment and spiritual stimulation, and even go to the evil path.

In the education of youth morality, the three are true, good and beautiful. We must not only make the youth know the truth and the good. Young people should also be guided to know beauty, appreciate beauty, create beauty, to verify and implement truth and goodness, to help young people to beautify their lives, to scientifically appreciate literary and artistic works, to improve the beautification of clothing, home, environment and social etiquette; to guide youth The beauty, fitness and sexual civilization have comprehensively improved the life of young people. These should be an important part of modern youth moral education.

Third, improve the democratic life and mental health of young people

Moral education and democratic legal education. The field of mental health, whether as an ideology or as a behavioral form, is closely related as an ideology. They are obtained from two aspects: First, under the influence of social living conditions, in the process of interaction with people, through spontaneous Sexual observation and imitation are generated, and then fixed by the affirmation and negation of social public opinion. Second, the social specific environment applies the purposeful and planned educational influence, and the social requirements are internalized into the individual's corresponding understanding, emotion, and Faith, motivation, consciousness, etc. are formed by the individual's psychological needs. As behavioral forms, they are individual activities driven by certain ideologies. These activities are judged and evaluated according to social behavior rules by themselves or others. To ideology, under the control of the original cognition, emotion, and motivation, gradually form self-consciousness and habitual behavior. In reality, people with noble morality first adhere to democracy and obey the law, and are also mentally healthy; Following democracy and the rule of law is also the basic requirement of mental health and morality; mental health is training The basic conditions for good moral character. These three should be the underlying conditions of the young people's quality standards in the new era.

In the past, moral education mostly focused on moral standards and was completely separated from other fields. Today's society is first and foremost a legal society. Any behavior of any person is first established on the basis of adhering to democracy and obeying laws and regulations. This is actually the basic project of moral education. It should develop young people’s self-conscious behavior habits. In recent years, with the deepening of China’s reform and opening up, democratic life and The construction of the legal system is becoming more and more perfect, and the promotion of democracy and observing the law-abiding consciousness have increasingly become the conscious behavior of the broad masses of the people. In a broad sense, to help young people adhere to socialist democracy and the rule of law, that is, to raise the level of social morality.

Enhancing the mental health of young people is achieved in the good interaction of young people, using language and non-verbal communication methods and other skills to improve their adaptability. It mainly achieves psychological maturity by raising awareness, rationalizing emotions, eliminating bad symptoms, correcting bad behaviors, and learning new adaptation patterns. Character education is based on social ethics as the main content to improve people's understanding and behavior. But there are many connections between the two. For example, moral education must use the laws and methods of psychology. Otherwise, moral education will become a castle in the air, and it is difficult to get into the mind; second, the basic standards of mental health are still based on the requirements of certain moral standards, and have normal understanding, emotions and interpersonal relationships; third, bad morals and External factors resulting from mental health are similar in many respects. Therefore, the promotion of mental health should be an area that cannot be ignored in the education of youth morality. In recent years, the serious pressure of further employment has caused disappointment, loss, imbalance and anxiety. Anxiety and other negative and confrontational emotions lead to bad psychology and behavior: the negative effects of the market economy, such as money worship, hedonism, individualism and the gap between the rich and the poor, will also produce the above bad psychology and behavior in the past period. We only care about people's ideological and moral issues, not psychological problems, or treat certain psychological problems as ideological and moral issues, all of which are one-sided. At present, many units, social organizations, and public organizations have established psychological treatment and psychological counseling institutions, and achieved good results. Practice has proved that youth moral education must care about the mental health of young people in order to achieve complete results.

Fourth, the extension and development of moral standards

The moral norms of a society are mainly determined by two factors: one is the accumulation of traditional culture in this country; the other is the current political and economic system. The former factor is relatively stable, while the latter factor is constantly evolving. In the era of economic planning: the entire society is highly organized, unified, and the lifestyles of members of society are relatively uniform, thus forming a single model of values. Anyone who is contrary to this criterion is characterized by feudalism, capitalism, Revisionism, individualism, and critical struggle. This educational model unifies the ideological and moral values ​​of the people throughout the country in a certain period of time, unifies the will and actions, and defeats domestic and foreign enemies. It has played an important role in overcoming economic difficulties and fully mobilizing the socialist enthusiasm of the broad masses of the people. For example, inspired by the spirit of Lei Feng, it has cultivated communist ideology and moral qualities for generations. Until today, it is still playing an indelible role, but this highly unified pattern of moral education cannot be fully adapted to the development of the current situation due to inherent defects: the political and economic system of society has occurred in the past 20 years of reform and opening up. A big change. With the implementation of the rural contract responsibility system, market economy, contracting system, and shareholding system, many individual agricultural, industrial, commercial, and service producers and various forms of ownership have emerged, breaking the units or collectives that have maintained for decades. The management system of ownership has emerged with new types of relationships such as hiring, collaboration, and contract; people have no, and the dependence of the “iron rice bowl” has increased the insecurity caused by competition: there are also social unhealthy trends, rich and poor differences, and unemployment. The impact of laid-off, etc., is no longer between people, "class brothers" and "proletarian feelings", but has added many naked conflicts of interest; the huge returns or spiritual satisfaction brought about by some illegal acts also corroded some The soul of man... These phenomena make the original moral code form a multi-component and large-inclusive pattern from the single component of the past. Duty-time, in addition to the self-respecting and advocating self-respecting people in the past, it should also be beneficial to people who are not self-denying, self-interested, self-interested and self-interested, and other moral principles coexist. This brings two problems: in the socialist primary At the stage, do you insist on the communist morality of self-denial? What are the basic criteria for youth moral education? The prominent symbol of the primary stage of socialism is socialist spiritual civilization, and its basic connotation is socialism, communist ideology and morality. We must persist in training a group of advanced molecules with excellent moral qualities.

As a pioneer and role model for modernization, to drive the majority of young people and achieve the goal of "four haves", for most young people, on the one hand, they are encouraged to learn advanced and exemplary, on the one hand, they should try to increase their inclusiveness and morality. Education has been extended from the "ordinary palace" of "one big two public" to individual farmers, workers, businessmen and social travellers. It advocates friendship, fairness, diligence and wealth, good deeds, good deeds, and resistance to money-raising hedonism. Loss of self-interested behavior. For other youths, they are required not to endanger the society and others, and not to violate the law in terms of methods: First, adhere to the principle of persuasion, respect the individual’s choice of the code of conduct on the basis of full education and guidance, “can’t take alienation In isolation, we must not criticize, struggle, and unite as many young people as possible. Second, change organizational behavior as social behavior, break the old frame that was distributed by schools, factories, and government agencies, and sit down to study and discuss. Extensively deep into the villagers' groups, neighborhood committees, urban communities, industrial and commercial management areas, etc., with education and economic means. The responsibility contract system and the contract system are combined: the ethical standards are embodied and quantified, and the responsibility standards and contract forms are used to ensure: Third, the role of media tools such as radio, film and television, newspapers and periodicals, and public opinion supervision should be fully utilized. Hey, judgement, propaganda, encouragement, and criticism, so that every youth is placed in a good moral atmosphere.

It should be said that the development of the situation has raised new issues for the moral education of the youth, and has provided more methods and broader fields. As long as we persist in reform and opening up, update our concepts, and change our style of work, we will certainly create a new situation in the education of youth morality in the new era.
