First, the concept of human modernization and ideological and political education

What is human modernization? The word "modernization" comes from "modernity". Man's modernization refers to the transformation from "traditional man" to "modern man", that is, with the progress and development of the times, people's ideological concepts, value orientation, moral level, spiritual realm, labor skills and other qualities have changed from traditional form to modern form. Its essence is to promote the subject to the contemporary height and realize the modernization of the subject quality. This subjective quality covers many aspects: in the aspect of concept modernization, it includes values, democracy and legal system, information concept, talent concept, etc. In the aspect of behavior modernization, it includes autonomy, creativity, high efficiency, spirit of competition and cooperation, modernization of lifestyle and so on.

The quality of human modernization subject is a social and historical concept, which has its qualitative stipulation or characteristics in different societies or different historical stages of the same society. American sociologist ingels believes that the characteristics of human modernization can be summarized as: 1. Independent consciousness; 2. Innovative spirit; 3. Personal efficacy; 4. Competitive consciousness; 5. curiosity; 6. Scientific spirit; 7. Civic awareness; 8. Open consciousness. With the development of social modernization, some scholars also list "spirit of cooperation" and "consciousness of sustainable development" as human modernization qualities. This is a universal feature of human modernization. This feature is different in countries and societies with different social systems and different levels of development, and different values, world outlook and social and national psychological consciousness permeate these features. In a word, people's modernization level is not absolute, but it is bound to develop, enrich and improve with the process of political, economic and cultural modernization.

Ideological and political education is a kind of value education, and its value orientation includes three aspects: ideals and beliefs, value goals and order norms. Simply put, it is faith, value and order, which are problems that exist in any society and must be solved. Ideological and political education undoubtedly includes the education of class view in class society, but it is by no means a simple education of class view. It is a kind of education of social outlook for adults. With the development of modernization and the arrival of civil society, the significance of adult social outlook education will become more and more prominent. People in reality not only have natural instinct, but also have sociality, and can realize natural instinct in a social way. All these can only be achieved through education the day after tomorrow. Acquired education is not only the cultivation of earning a living skill, but also the cultivation of gregarious harmony, including the cultivation of responsibility, pursuit and transcendence. Here, we have to include the purpose, direction and value of ideological and political education.

Second, the internal relationship between ideological and political education and human modernization

(A) the realization of human modernization is the biggest goal of current ideological and political education, and it is also the essential requirement of building a harmonious society.

"Man is the most decisive force in productive forces", and all our work "should be centered on improving people's quality, that is, we should strive to promote people's all-round development", which is actually to comprehensively improve the quality of the population and realize people's modernization, thus promoting the rapid development of productive forces. Our modernization is Chinese modernization. The essence of socialism is to liberate and develop productive forces, and the purpose of developing productive forces is to meet people's growing material and cultural needs and promote people's modernization and all-round development. Realizing people's all-round development is the essential requirement of socialism, and realizing people's modernization at this stage is the essential requirement of building a harmonious society. People-oriented, creating better living and living conditions for people and realizing people's modernization have become an important political task in China at present. People's modernization is not innate, but mainly depends on acquired and cultivated. Ideological and political education is a practical activity to educate, cultivate and promote people's all-round development consciously, purposefully and in a planned way. Educating people is a basic function of ideological and political education, and it is the goal of ideological and political education to cultivate new people with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique and beauty. Building a harmonious socialist society and realizing the harmonious coexistence of man, society and nature are inseparable from the improvement of population quality, human modernization and ideological and political education.

(2) Ideological and political education is an effective way to realize human modernization.

Ideological and political education is an effective way to realize human modernization, which provides basic principles, directions and basic value orientations for human modernization and plays an important role in the process of human modernization. Marxists have always attached great importance to the role of ideological and political education in people's modernization and all-round development. Engels pointed out: "Education can make young people familiar with the whole production system quickly, and enable them to transfer from one production department to another in turn according to the needs of society or their own hobbies. Therefore, education will free them from the one-sidedness caused by the modern division of labor. " ② In the new period of building a harmonious society, the key to realize human modernization and all-round development is to strive to improve the ideological and moral quality and scientific and cultural quality of the whole nation. In terms of ideological and moral quality, we should give full play to the positive role of ideological and political education in cultivating and shaping people, and can achieve "arming people with scientific theories, guiding people with correct public opinion, shaping people with noble spirit and inspiring people with excellent works". It can be seen that ideological and political education is a necessary means and an indispensable factor in the process of human modernization.

(3) Ideological and political education and human modernization are complementary.

Ideological and political education provides spiritual strength for human modernization. To some extent, ideological and political education provides an important ideological basis for developing productive forces, promoting social harmony and human modernization. An important function of ideological and political education is to greatly improve people's ideological and moral quality, promote people's transformation from "traditional people" to "modern people" and make people have modern ideas. The change of people's concept is the most difficult part of people's modernization, which has the characteristics of long-term and arduous. The ideological work of being a man is precisely the strength of ideological and political education and plays an irreplaceable role in people's modernization. In addition, the modernization of human beings has put forward new topics and challenges for ideological and political education. Man's modernization is a long-term process, and many new problems and situations will appear in this process, which requires ideological and political education to be more targeted and effective, and requires ideological and political education to study new situations and solve new problems in the process of modernization in time. In a word, ideological and political education guided by scientific theory can promote the smooth progress of human modernization, which in turn provides new materials and rich nutrition for ideological and political education, enriching the ideological and political education theory and Marxist theory of all-round development of human beings, which promote each other and make common progress.
