Let me tell you what time it is. Education is divided into two parts: the first part is humanistic education, and the second part is material education (that is, natural education). Human education is divided into public education and natural education. Natural education (that is, family education) is called natural education because human beings have produced this kind of natural education since birth, and mothers will take the initiative to educate their children. The main content of this part of education is human morality and ability. However, public education appeared only after the development of human survival ability to a certain extent, and its focus was on knowledge education. The above can be seen in Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments and Rousseau's Emile. The ultimate goal of education is to cultivate students' habits from childhood, so that they can become virtuous and beneficial people when they grow up and become the by-product of knowledge education. See the chapter on education in Bacon's essays. At the same time, Levitt also pointed out that teachers' duty is to set an example and convey beneficial values to students, and emphasized that teachers set an example and convey beneficial values to students, which is the most important part of human education. Pay attention to the debate: although according to Rousseau, Adam Smith and others, personality education is much more important than knowledge training, pay attention to your argument that personality training is more than knowledge training, and remember that there is more than that, so there will be some room for manoeuvre. I hate debating this kind of thing anyway. Whether you can call heaven a hell depends on you. Moreover, this debate is bad and full of loopholes. Obviously, personality training is more important than knowledge training. You can give as many examples as you want. We can argue it out. On the contrary, first of all, as the name implies, from the vocabulary of education, imparting knowledge, cultivating talents, teaching first and then teaching, mainly imparting knowledge, which includes scientific and cultural knowledge, humanistic knowledge, and all kinds of knowledge of being a man and treating people. Only on the basis of imparting and accumulating knowledge can there be further personality cultivation. Secondly, knowledge is the basis of shaping personality. Bacon said that "knowledge can shape personality". As we know, knowledge is the crystallization of all outstanding human thoughts. But human beings are spiritual food, and a person's personality cultivation is based on knowledge. Rich knowledge can improve personal accomplishment, thus shaping a sound personality, without rich knowledge. It is impossible to build a sound personality without rice. In the education of knowledge, we have included the cultivation of personality, accumulated rich knowledge, heard powerful knowledge and learned a hundred schools of thought contend. The positive result of Fang's personality, as the ancients said, "knowing books and understanding" means reading hundreds of books. Third, the progress of knowledge also promotes the progress and development of your society. With the invention of the steam engine, mankind entered the electronic information age from the agricultural society. This is due to knowledge. Knowledge provides conditions for individuals to realize their self-worth. Can Bill Gates build the largest computer company in the world without rich knowledge? Li Ka-shing is not rich in knowledge, can he make a difference in the United States? How many people once came with a smile without enough professional knowledge and had to give up. Today, another debater made the mistake of replacing the mainstream with tributaries. We don't deny the importance of personality, but we must clearly see that cultivating personality is the primary purpose of education. However, cultivating personality is only an auxiliary means. History, reality and rationality all tell us that education should pay more attention to the cultivation of knowledge rather than personality, which enriches our knowledge. Today, the light of wisdom and personality charm complement each other here. But for the distorted personalities of Liu Haiyang, Ma Jiajue and Wang Xiaolong mentioned above, they are just a kind of morbid values. As contemporary college students, we should establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values. As we all know, the value of life is all-encompassing, and the greatest moral value of contemporary China is to govern the country by virtue, which is the requirement of personality. We college students have the independent ability to improve their personality quality while accepting knowledge, to be a gentleman with noble sentiments and excellent academic performance, to be a builder beneficial to the country, society and people, and to realize the due value of our college students. Looking at the society, the diversification of social value orientation leads to the diversification of people's value orientation. Imagine, if university education does not pay more attention to personality cultivation, how can a graduate without good personality convince the society that he can do good things? How to let others entrust an important task? How to gain public recognition? So we are based on the healthy personality of the mainstay of society. In this context, how can the other debater blindly emphasize the knowledge cultivation of university education? For an individual, a sound personality plays a greater role in his life. A person without good psychological quality cannot survive in the fierce competition; People who are bent on opportunism can only destroy the good atmosphere of fair competition in society; Those who are afraid of social competition and stay in the ivory tower will eventually be eliminated by society! Back to the position of college students, we can receive more personality training, shape a sound personality, and let us have a good attitude towards learning, thus promoting the improvement of learning efficiency and being a person with both morality, intelligence and physique. Dear opponent, how to see the flowers in the fog and the moon in the water, and see the essence of personality relative to knowledge? It is true that people's knowledge can be expressed in words, but what about personality? But it depends on actions to prove it! If a college student lacks some knowledge but has a noble personality, it is acceptable to people; However, if a college student is learned but has a wretched personality, such a person will only be cast aside. Have you noticed how many powerful people have fallen in the "Red Chamber Case"? Aren't they knowledgeable? Most of them hold college diplomas or above, but what are the reasons for becoming prisoners? Because they have personality defects! Because in the face of the temptation of money and beauty, they can't hold their conscience! The development of the times is changing with each passing day, and the impact of commodity tide is getting worse. Under the background of building socialism and governing the country by virtue, if our university education does not emphasize the cultivation of personality, I am afraid that there will be no one in the near future and the country will not be a country! (To borrow a passage from Zhou Ji, Minister of Education, he said, "We should be both adults and talents, and there are priorities. Adults are the most important. To really stimulate students' inner enthusiasm, we must strengthen the timeliness, persuasiveness and cohesion of ideological and political education, and really make ideological education work in the hearts of college students. "So, favored ones, while accumulating knowledge and enriching their hearts, don't forget that it is more important to improve their personality and cultivate their conscience! Thank you. I can't say that personality training is more than knowledge training. University education should first improve moral quality. Only in this way can what we have learned really come in handy. Of course, when you go to university, the requirements are higher, and the university is the stage where the outlook on life and values gradually mature. It should be said that it is more important than learning knowledge, especially the pressure of employment at present, and so on. College students' psychological quality education has been paid attention to by major universities. There is an old saying that is very good, that is, learn to be a man first, and then learn to do things. What role can individuals play in history? Can individual personality influence history again? There is a view in the study of history that the power of individuals is minimal: history is the collective creation of human beings, not the creation of one or two heroes or things; On the other hand, there is little difference between different leaders of the same historical event: the leaders of a country only passively reflect the surrounding environment and conditions, consider various factors, and then make reasonable decisions. Therefore, many people who study history tend to ignore personal factors, while serious historians tend to explain historical and political events from the big social background and structure. For example, the study of Sino-Soviet contradictions in the era of Mao Khrushchev ignored Mao's personal psychological factors from the big political context and ideology and removed them from the research agenda. One of the reasons for this choice is to ignore the personal factors mentioned above, and the other is that personal psychoanalysis is often difficult to prove and contains serious subjective elements, so it seems that it is impossible to log in as an elegant hall of serious and objective social science analysis. Intuition and common sense tell us that there are differences in personality and personality between different * * *, differences in assumptions about human nature and the world (for example, some people imagine the world to be particularly dark and very pessimistic), differences in knowledge and ideological background, and different orientations and pursuits in politics (for example, some people pursue the realization of the just value of their beliefs; Some people pursue power; Some people seek to be famous in history, etc.), and at the same time they have different decision-making structures: some people are more powerful and even dictatorial like Stalin and Hitler; Some people's decision-making think tanks are more powerful and help them get more decision-making information. Therefore, different people have different perceptions and understandings of the same objective situation due to different knowledge and ideological backgrounds. We say that these observations are often subjective and influenced by personal will. It is true that different people encounter different objective environments when experiencing the same historical events, but their perceptions are often different, and these perceptions often affect their decision-making and bring consequences. In addition, due to differences in personality and personal habits, different people may make completely different decisions when they have the same perception. For example, social political psychology divides a kind of political personality opposition, which is called harmonious personality vs militant personality. Harmonious personality tends to compromise each other and seek mediation in most occasions and situations; Under the same circumstances, militant personality is unwilling to compromise with opponents, unwilling to give up, unwilling to give in, unwilling to fight with opponents, and even take excessive actions, which objectively intensifies contradictions. We say that a pair of modern politicians in China, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, are closer to fighting personality, while the latter is closer to harmonious personality. However, they are not absolute warmongers and mediators, but have a relatively consistent general tendency: a certain style of personality characteristics can describe his characteristics in many cases more accurately. Different personalities will affect decision-making. A belligerent character and a conciliatory character will have different positions towards the enemy. Therefore, Mao has a big fish, eat small fish, to eliminate dissidents and unite as one; After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao disagreed with the theory of contradiction and unity of orthodox Marxism. The so-called combination of the two is the new "one", which should have the characteristics of two components at the same time. Mao even argued that the big fish eat small fish, like * * * eating the Kuomintang, should eliminate one factor. This also reflects his philosophy of struggle after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and in his articles and speeches, he clearly raised this struggle strategy to the height of philosophy and criticized the orthodox theory of contradiction. In contrast, if Zhou Enlai is in power, he will be more able to compromise and mediate with the enemy, seek common ground while reserving differences, and try not to intensify and expand contradictions. If they are given the same power, their decisions will be systematically different in the face of the same situation and the same "enemy". Therefore, it is very meaningful to study personality. The purpose of studying personality is to understand a person's psychological characteristics more systematically and deeply, so as to analyze and predict his behavior. Studying personality can also reveal some historical events: for example, when we talked about Sino-Soviet contradictions in the past, we emphasized the differences in political, economic and organizational policies between the two countries, and the contradictions had profound and irreconcilable institutional roots. In fact, patient readers can understand Mao's possible psychology towards Khrushchev through his observation and perception of Comintern, Stalin and his own economic policies and inner-party organizations after liberation. This personal psychological contradiction is externalized into broader politics, and then rationalized in the name of public interest or grand things such as ideology, politics and economic system. Q: In today's society, exam-oriented education has reached its peak, and people with extensive knowledge are needed. Therefore, students of Tsinghua Peking University can always find jobs more easily. Do they have good personalities? Are the students in our higher vocational colleges having bad personalities? Although our knowledge is not as good as others, will we lose compared with our personality? Refutation: But what's the use of high personality? What this society needs is knowledgeable people. What the boss values first is your knowledge, not your personality. Both seem to be very important, but the topic is that the fundamental task of education in China is to cultivate high-quality laborers, professionals and a large number of top-notch innovative talents, that is, to cultivate people with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, and to continuously enhance the social competitiveness of Chinese college students. Relatively speaking, as long as you learn this knowledge thoroughly at school, your personality will not be much lower. Q: Now the school is carrying out ideological and moral training courses. Refutation: Don't you need knowledge to cultivate ideological and moral concepts? What is knowledge, besides specialized courses? I also ask you, without psychological knowledge, what do you want to use? Is there no order? Good character is just sitting there? What is a good character, and where does the criterion of judgment come from? Don't you need knowledge to judge? Can the personality molded in the university withstand the impact of entering the society? Personality without rational theoretical support of one's own mind is unstable and fragile. If personality cultivation is more important, how can you show that it is more important and spend more time cultivating personality? How to cultivate? What is the actual action? Read ideological and moral books? Help the old lady cross the street? How many people can you help in a day? Refute: disagree with the other party's point of view. Can you tell a person's knowledge? Once you have knowledge, will he still run? Personality is changeable. In a person's life, good can be turned into evil, and evil can also be turned into good. Personality building was not built in a day. He needs a lifetime of hard work, and college is the best opportunity for people to accumulate knowledge. Don't waste time. Q: Many people say that morality is very important to Liu Haiyang and Ma Jiajue, so I would like to ask where your morality comes from. Refutation: Did it take four years to train in college? So does the other party think that people who have never been to college are morally low? As we all know, our character begins when we babble. There are more than one million students in universities in China, and Liu Haiyang and Ma Jiajue are just two of them. Do we think the world should be covered by dots? This is really knowing one thing and not knowing the other. He just has too little knowledge of psychological adjustment. Don't you want such people to accumulate knowledge and shape their personality with air? " I want to ask, what's the use of having strong psychological knowledge without better thinking and application? There is not enough knowledge accumulation, so there is tragedy. Pay attention to the accumulation of knowledge and realize the sublimation of personality. Only qualitative change can change, and quantitative change can have personality. Don't put knowledge on the back burner. So knowledge is the foundation and he is the key, so the accumulation of knowledge is more important. The topic of our debate today is not how to accumulate knowledge, but which is more important, knowledge accumulation or personality shaping. Q: Some people say that personality is the foundation of knowledge, which is all wet. Without knowledge as the basis, how can one distinguish right from wrong? Refutation: The ancients have long said: Why study? It's nothing more than a black and white distinction between right and wrong. If no one tells a child that it is wrong to take other people's things without others' permission, then we can imagine what this child will look like in the future ... Q: Corrupt officials say that corrupt officials refute: Then I want to ask these people that they passed many moral tests before becoming officials. Are they morally deficient? Definitely not. In addition, we invite each other to debate a question. We discussed these problems in college. What will happen when you become an official? Please don't digress after graduation. Q: Many people who have gone abroad never come back. Is going abroad a moral issue? Refutation: going abroad is a big problem for most people, but Einstein went abroad. Can you say that his morality is low? So what is your main task as a student in these four years? How can one talk about morality if one forgets all his tasks? If college students don't pick up all the ways to graduate from various universities, they only have a half-knowledge of what their professional knowledge is. Take how the country develops, how the world progresses, and how mankind progresses. Q: Some people say that high-tech crime refutes: Then, how do you explain why the life direction of high-tech crime is crooked? Because the accumulated knowledge of ideological education is not enough! Reading the Analects of Confucius every day will whip your conscience and sublimate your thoughts. Q: The purpose and mission of the university. Refutation: The purpose of a university is to rejuvenate the country through science and education, and science and technology are the primary productive forces. If the main function of universities is to shape their personalities, there is absolutely no need for them to come to universities again. What is the purpose of our coming to the university? It's learning! What is learning? The accumulation of knowledge. Is it okay for the opposing party to argue with friends and classmates at home and shape their character? Can you learn professional knowledge at home and at school? First of all, I want to say that I don't deny that college students shape their own personality. What are we talking about today? Now China is still a developing country, and many places can't catch up with others. Why? The reason is simple, because our technology can't keep up. As the successors of China in the future, we have no reason not to study hard and try to master knowledge to compare with others, so I think we should learn more and master knowledge. Besides, we have been taught to learn adult thoughts since primary school, so now college students can be said to be adults, so that the prime time has passed, and the more we learn, the more we know. Refutation: The fundamental task of education is to cultivate high-quality workers, specialized talents and a large number of top-notch innovative talents, that is, to cultivate people with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, and constantly enhance the social competitiveness of college students. The party's educational policy: colleges and universities are required to adhere to education to serve the socialist modernization and the people, and to combine it with productive labor and social practice to cultivate high-quality builders and successors. In the process of cultivating talents, everything in the school is for the growth and development of students. At present, the competition among colleges and universities is also the competition of talent cultivation, which is reflected in the social competitiveness of talents cultivated in colleges and universities. Q: How to gain a foothold in society? For a school. This is mainly manifested in the new development of their needs and the addition of many new contents; At the level of material demand, openness
