National security concerns the survival and development of every citizen. National security requires a strong national defense, and every citizen has a legal obligation to strengthen our national defense construction. The strength of citizens' national defense consciousness is closely related to national security. The strength of national defense consciousness is not innate, but gradually nurtured by education and environment. Countless historical facts eloquently tell us that a country without a strong sense of national defense will be in a difficult situation.
During the prosperous period of ancient Rome, it had an excellent military system and a good martial arts tradition. Between the first century and the second century, the political, economic, military and cultural strength of the Roman Empire ranked first in the world. However, in the third century, the Romans were immersed in our past life, lost the tradition of martial arts, and gradually moved towards division and decline.
It can be seen that a strong sense of national defense will give consideration to everyone, put national security first, regard defending the country as its internal affairs, and consciously fulfill its obligation to defend the motherland. When the country encounters external threats, it can be generous to the enemy and defend the motherland at all costs. On the other hand, if citizens have a weak sense of national defense, they will turn a blind eye to the country, refuse to fulfill their obligations to defend the country, and even make mistakes when the country is in trouble.
As the main force of national defense construction in the future, the importance of cultivating their sense of national defense hardship cannot be overemphasized. One of the important ways to enhance teenagers' awareness of national defense worries is national defense education. Therefore, we should organize colorful national defense education activities in colleges and universities to cultivate modern students' national defense awareness, which is not only the ideological basis for safeguarding national security, but also the spiritual driving force for promoting national prosperity and development.
Since the reform and opening up, we have made great progress in the economy and the people's living standards have been significantly improved. Contemporary youth born in peacetime enjoy social stability, political democracy, stay away from gunfire, live in the cradle of happiness and enjoy the fruitful achievements of material civilization and spiritual civilization. However, our national defense consciousness has gradually faded, our national defense education has relaxed, our sense of national self-improvement and the concept of defending our country have weakened, and even the moon in foreign countries has become more round than that in China. Teenagers, in particular, account for a considerable proportion, and they are not clear about the security environment and situation in China; Do not understand the "Westernization" and "Differentiation" of China by Western hostile forces; I don't know how much damage terrorism, national separatism and super-religionism have done to our country. Facing the new situation, we must realize the urgency of developing national defense education in depth and put it in an important position.
(2) Enhance national cohesion and centripetal force.
Only when a country and a nation have strong national cohesion and centripetal force can it prosper and develop, which is its premise. In the era when Napoleon dominated Europe, the French people established a cohesive force and centripetal force to be brave and good at fighting, defend their country and defend their country, and defeat the enemy. Unfortunately, this power is not always implemented. After Napoleon, France lost its cohesion and centripetal force to be brave and good at fighting, defend the country and resist the enemy, the government gradually became corrupt, the national defense gradually slackened, the social value of soldiers was gradually forgotten, and patriotism and honor became the objects of public satire. By the time of the Franco-Prussian War, France's national defense force had disappeared, and the Prussian army was on a roll and conquered Paris, a European political center with a history of about 200 years. Today, realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the dream of the whole party and people of all nationalities, and it is the cohesion and centripetal force of the Chinese nation. National defense education can strengthen people's patriotic beliefs, put the interests of the country and the nation in a lofty position, set the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, consciously safeguard the interests of the country and the nation, and enhance national cohesion and centripetal force.
(3) Improve physical and mental quality and scientific and cultural quality.
National defense education is an important part of quality education and an effective way to promote the coordinated development of people's ideological and moral quality, scientific and cultural quality and physical and mental quality, improve national quality and enhance national competitiveness.
Modern warfare is a high-tech local war, which is not only a comprehensive national strength, but also a scientific and technological strength. National defense education, which focuses on theoretical teaching and military training, is a preparation for modern war and an important means to enhance comprehensive national strength and scientific and technological strength.
The teaching of military theory has a wide range and rich contents, involving natural, social and technical disciplines. Teaching modern military high-tech knowledge around high-tech war, such as microelectronics, optoelectronics, artificial intelligence and many other modern science and technology frontier knowledge, further broaden students' horizons, understand the international situation, cultivate national defense awareness, and make their intelligence and psychology develop in a coordinated and unified way. Military training is compulsory, mainly focusing on a period of time, organizing students to carry out military skills training such as physical fitness, queuing, shooting and actual combat, so that students can experience the life of the army, feel the strict discipline and firm style of the army, cultivate students' team consciousness and collective concept, exercise strong physique, develop good living habits and master basic military skills, thus improving their physical and mental quality and scientific and cultural level.
(4) Strong national defense reserve talents to promote national defense modernization.
Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized that the key to the modernization of the army is talent. Without modern national defense talents, there will be no powerful modern national defense. With the development of military science and technology, the future war will be a contest between technology and talents. As the future of the motherland, the quality of students determines the quality of national defense. Although the future war is a local war under high-tech conditions, it does not mean that it is only a war of some people, but it is still a people's war. In peacetime, we teach students military theory and organize military training, so whether he is at school or after graduation, he has a skill and is the backbone of national defense education. When the war breaks out, they will become pioneers on the battlefield, organize the masses to participate in the war, form a powerful force, win the war, and lay a solid foundation for winning the future high-tech war.
