Morality and rule of law composition 1 legal system construction and moral construction are important aspects of maintaining a country's long-term stability. To discuss who is more important, we must first understand their respective connotations. What is the law? Law is a social norm system formulated or recognized by the state and enforced by the state, which takes the adjustment of behavior and social relations as the object, takes the content of rights and obligations as the universal binding force, and reflects and maintains the will and interests of the class that holds state power in a certain social and historical period. What is morality? Morality is a special ideology determined by the economic relationship of a certain society, and it is the sum total of behavioral norms that adjust the relationship between people and society with good and evil, good and evil, justice and partiality.
Through the definition of the two, it is not difficult to see their obvious differences, that is, morality is not mandatory, mainly depends on public opinion; The legal system is mandatory, and it plays a role through the coercive power of the state. But both of them have the function of maintaining long-term social stability, which can be said that two different means have achieved the same goal. What conclusion will be drawn by further thinking about the dialectical relationship between the two?
Law mainly plays a binding role. It puts people on the right track. Once they deviate from this track, the law will put them back on track in its own way. The speed of a person walking on the track, the posture of walking, whether it is forward or backward, have nothing to do with the law. At this time, the role of morality is needed to make more people move in the right direction quickly.
The law should be the bottom line, and everyone's behavior should be above the law. Only on this basis can we better carry out moral construction, and morality is the guide. Without moral guidance, the law may be empty. This shows that morality and law are equally important.
Legal system and morality belong to different categories of superstructure. The legal system belongs to the category of system; Morality belongs to the category of social ideology The content of legal norms is mainly the provisions of rights and obligations, emphasizing the balance between them; Morality emphasizes that people fulfill their obligations and are responsible for others and social collectives. The structure of legal norms is hypothesis, handling and sanctions or behavior patterns and legal consequences; Morality has no specific sanctions or legal consequences. The legal system is formulated in accordance with specific procedures, mainly manifested in various normative documents formulated by relevant state organs; On the other hand, morality is usually subtle and is often called convention.
In fact, the two are essentially the same, they are the products of a certain social and economic foundation, they all reflect and act on the economic foundation of a certain society, they all have the same theoretical basis, and many basic principles and contents are consistent. The legal system is in the form of normative documents, and morality is usually manifested as general social will; Law emphasizes people's external behavior and consequences, while morality emphasizes people's inner goodness. Laws are enforced by the state, and morality plays a role through people's inner beliefs and public opinion; The two are interrelated and complement each other.
It is not difficult for us to encounter such examples in our life: for example, a person who broke the law won the support of the world, that is, he broke the law but did not violate morality, and sometimes even won the support of public opinion. For another example, people sometimes break the law, but they violate their conscience and do things that violate morality, and as a result, they are condemned by their conscience all their lives.
So it seems that although the legal system and morality are usually the same, sometimes there are differences. In fact, it is usually like this: the law stipulates the most basic behavior, and where the law has no norms, morality is the supplement. But on the same issue, when there is a conflict between morality and law, the legal norms always prevail. This also proves a truth, that is, law is the most priority principle for adjusting social relations, and only in areas where law cannot be adjusted can social good customs be considered as principles.
For national construction, law and morality have always been complementary. Both of them are codes of conduct to adjust the relationship between people, and they are an important part of the superstructure. Law belongs to the political superstructure, relying on the state's coercive means to restrain people's behavior and maintain the basic order of society; Morality belongs to ideological superstructure. Through persuasion and induction, people can form inner moral beliefs and restrain their behavior. They jointly serve the economic foundation of society in different ways.
The contents of law and morality are mutual infiltration and complement each other. Justice is their common pursuit. Morality is the foundation and premise of law, and law is the most basic embodiment of morality. The legal provisions against theft and robbery all come from moral norms. The morality of every society is based on the moral system of the ruling class in this society.
Legal construction and moral construction support and promote each other in function. Laws must be based on accepted moral norms. Without a moral foundation, laws will have no authority and cannot be effectively implemented. The normative function of morality can not be separated from the support of law. If illegal acts are not effectively punished, moral norms will not be carried forward and society will not form a good atmosphere.
However, the position, function, mode and scope of law and morality in managing society and building a country are different and cannot be replaced by each other. They must be closely integrated and indispensable. The coercive force outside the law restricts people's behavior and only pays attention to the consequences of the behavior. Its operating mechanism is coercion, which negatively stops some people from "shouldn't" behavior. Morality shapes people's soul, stimulates people's inner self-restraint with the rationality of value, and guides people to do what they should do from the positive side. The operating mechanism of morality is virtue-the quality of being able to act according to rules in the face of temptation. Law is utilitarian, and morality is super utilitarian. The scope of legal and moral adjustment is also different. Law is heteronomy, which only stipulates the bottom line of being a man, only works for offenders, and can only play a role in maintaining social order afterwards and treating symptoms. Morality is self-discipline, which regulates all the behaviors of all members, from personal qualities to economic and political life. Moral self-discipline is a sense of responsibility under the condition of complete freedom and an important symbol of human dignity. Morality can improve people's spiritual realm and play a preventive and radical role in maintaining social order.
Because people are plastic, we need to use laws to stop the defects of selfish desires in human nature; For the good side of human nature, we can educate it with morality. If we only rely on morality to build the country and standardize the society, we can't punish and put an end to illegal crimes; If we only rely on the law, we can't educate immoral behavior and curb its development. Only by combining the rule of law with the rule of virtue can we treat both the symptoms and root causes and ensure the orderly development of society. Law and morality are indispensable wings to ensure the orderly operation of society.
Organically combine moral construction with legal construction. This way, it won't be a big step. If your steps are out of sync, you can't move forward quickly. Another analogy is the barrel effect. How much water a bucket can hold depends on the shortest board, not the longest board. So let the two boards of law and morality be equal in length, not different in length.
Only by putting moral construction and legal construction in the same important position, organically combining and complementing each other, can we play the greatest role. While paying equal attention to moral construction and legal system construction, strengthening moral construction and increasing its diversity and practicality, I believe this is not only of great significance for us to cultivate good national quality of big countries, but will undoubtedly accelerate the construction of a harmonious socialist society.
After reading this moral and legal education, I was educated and broadened my horizons. Here, I saw all kinds of subjects, all kinds of people, all kinds of terrible cases, and their tragic endings. Drugs, gambling, all these may happen around us, and these are the chief culprits that make these rebellious and naive teenagers desperate. These terrible cases are revealing the other side of this society to us. This also sounded the alarm for us.
We are also in their era, and we have entered a prosperous growth stage. Some students entered the rebellious period and began to play around in internet cafes and dance halls, and began to ignore the heavy teaching of their parents. Always borrow money from parents on the pretext of studying, and then play with gangsters in society. The result must be a crime. Isn't the protagonist of all kinds of cases on the plate the same as you? Always take chances, always think you won't commit a crime. But the ending is different.
Everyone knows that drugs can't be touched, but why can't many teenagers resist its temptation! It is because they have never seen these new things and listened to the rhetoric of gangsters. At the same time, they think it's no big deal to smoke once, and they can quit, so they will take the road of drug abuse.
Gambling, robbery and murder are all the same. It's all in a flash. It is this moment, a moment of curiosity, a moment of willfulness, and life is going extinct. The dark society is unpredictable. It is like an abyss, with no end in sight and no idea how dangerous it is. No matter how clever a person is, depravity is terrible. So we should stay away from this abyss and not approach this trap because of curiosity.
I believe that after reading this moral and legal education, no one will be as stupid as them.
When we talk about "the rule of law", we can't help thinking of those frightening cases and criminals. In fact, they were punished by laws and regulations today. Didn't one little bad habit after another lead them to crime yesterday? Therefore, all kinds of education we received from childhood were legal education we received as children; Therefore, the legal system is not just the "patent" of those adults. I once read a story: During the Qing Dynasty, Minister Li Hongzhang went to Russia and spat in public, which was greatly exaggerated and ridiculed by foreign journalists and humiliated the people of China. On the surface, this cluster seems to have nothing to do with the legal system, which is a historical lesson of not obeying the social legal system. But aren't all the people around us, including ourselves, like this?
so
To abide by the rule of law, we must start from ourselves and start from the side.
so
Mr. Lu Xun said: "If China wants to survive and compete in the world, its first thing is to establish people, and then people will do everything." The meaning of "educating people" is to improve people's ideological and legal cultivation. People's legal cultivation is not innate, but constantly improved the day after tomorrow. To improve one's self-cultivation, one must first concentrate on studying and improve one's cognitive level; When cognition reaches a certain level, there is the ability to distinguish right from wrong; With the ability to distinguish right from wrong, good and evil, we must correct our mentality, not violate our conscience, and strive to make our words and deeds conform to moral standards, so that our self-cultivation will be improved. This is what the ancients said: being realistic, knowledgeable, sincere, upright and self-cultivation.
I have read such a story:
A reporter interviewed a scientist who won the Nobel Prize. "Professor, where did you learn the most important thing in life?" "In kindergarten. There, I learned things that will benefit me for life, such as having good things to share with friends, being modest, and washing hands before eating ... "
so
The same is true for us to improve the legal culture. We don't have to do anything great, but we should start with small things around us, such as eating and washing our hands.
so
Cultivate the habit of observing the legal system, let the legal concept enter the unconscious level from the conscious level, and let the legal concept run through our every move.
We have received legal etiquette education since childhood, and many students can talk about legal etiquette at length. However, seeing lunch boxes and beverage bottles discarded everywhere on campus and hearing some students' swearing words, how can we not teach people grief! Are we all "giants of language and dwarfs of action"? Wang Shouren, a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty, said: "Knowing is the idea of doing, and doing is the kung fu of knowing; Knowing is the beginning of doing, and doing is the achievement of knowing; Knowing and doing is noumenon and kung fu. Knowing and not doing it is just unknown. " We receive the education of legal etiquette, but we are stingy with it or even do the opposite, which is different from never receiving social education! Therefore, if we want to practice the social legal system, we must work hard from this "unity of knowing and doing", work hard from our own words, and bid farewell to illegal acts.
so
Students, let's talk about the concept of legal system implanted in our hearts and make the concept of legal system a traffic light in our lives!
Morality and Rule of Law Composition 4 What is law? Law is a code of conduct formulated or recognized by the state; Formulated or approved by the national legislature; It is a code of conduct that is universally binding on members of society; This is a code of conduct guaranteed by the state's coercive power. So we often refer to the law as "national law".
So the law has always given us the feeling that it is far away. In fact, law is around us, because law and morality are inseparable, so what is the relationship between law and morality?
There is such a story:
Uncle Zhang in the village worked hard all his life and raised six sons. He used all his financial resources and illness to get their son married. The eldest son contracted the fish pond in the village, with a net income of more than 30 thousand yuan a year, but he was "penniless" to the elderly, and several other sons refused to support him. Uncle Zhang lives alone in a humble hut outside the village. He relies on his neighbors for help and has no money to see a doctor. The village Committee cadres intervened many times and asked the six sons to support the elderly together, but the six sons shirked each other and the life of the elderly was never taken care of. The villagers were filled with indignation and took the initiative to help the elderly with the lawsuit. After the court failed to mediate, the six sons were sentenced to pay Uncle Zhang 3000 yuan in alimony every year and share the medical expenses.
Such stories often happen around us. When morality can't send people to take responsibility, law will show its compulsion.
The world is complex, and no matter how many laws are enacted, all aspects of social life cannot be carefully regulated. The law can prohibit the act of abandoning and refusing to support the elderly, but it cannot make people consciously respect the elderly. Morality involves all aspects of social life, is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and restricts people's thoughts and behaviors in a larger scope in a specific way.
Therefore, law and morality are complementary, and the rule of law and the rule of virtue are equally important and must be combined. At present, China implements the rule of law and the rule of virtue, the fundamental purpose of which is to ensure that the people truly become the masters of the country. Therefore, we should be proud that we are from China.
So how should we teenagers protect the law and Vader?
It is necessary to strengthen the concept of legal system, consciously abide by and protect the law, and improve the moral quality and level. In this way, the law and morality are safeguarded.
Morality and Rule of Law Composition 5 Harvard Library was ravaged by fire, but the only rare book left was illegally taken out by a student. Between rules and morality, Harvard resolutely chose rules and expelled the student.
Some people may think that President Hoorik's approach is too rigid and unreasonable. The ancients said, "Don't hide virtue in one stroke." The student should be praised for returning the book. But I want to say, "don't hide the truth with one virtue." People should talk about virtue under the framework of rules, and don't kidnap rules with morality!
It is undeniable that morality is the bottom line of society and the standard for us to judge right and wrong. However, if everything is judged by morality, morality will occupy the commanding heights of human nature, laws and rules will be condescending, and conscience will inevitably flood, and all justice and fairness will cease to exist. For those who have done good and bad things, only laws and rules can give the fairest trial!
Rules are the sword of Damocles hanging over our heads. We look at our words and deeds with the fairest and most solemn eyes and judge our every move. When it is difficult for us to control our desires and try to touch and open Pandora's box, the sharp blade looks at us, making us timid and far from depravity.
There is a saying in Jane Eyre: "After death, everyone's soul stands before God equally." Not only god, but also before the rules. No matter how vicious and thief, rules will look into the hearts of offenders with the harshest eyes, indifferent, fair and unselfish. Rules are the coldest and most competent watchers of justice and peace.
Lei Chunian, a little hero who saved people in the Wenchuan earthquake, saved seven students with desperate efforts, and became the object of praise and the moral model of the whole country. Six years have passed, and the hero at that time has degenerated into a prisoner, making the aura of his life disappear completely, and doing something wrong has also ushered in legal trial. There is no denying that Lei Chunian's righteous act has brought us a lot of emotion, but no amount of emotion can erase the fact that he cheated. The justice of the law will not be blinded by his previous merits, and the law will make the fairest judgment for him.
Lincoln once said, "Law is the revealed morality." Laws and rules are modified according to morality, which is the embodiment of morality. Violating laws and rules is a blasphemy against morality. Those acts that attempt to violate the rules in the name of morality are in themselves against morality! The light of reason cannot be obscured by darkness, nor can the balance of rules be swayed under the influence of morality. Everyone should obey the rules, which is the foundation of being a man!
Chen, president of Renmin University, advised students at the graduation ceremony: "Students of Renmin University should have a way of dealing with people, grasp the rules as the criterion and guard their beliefs and rules." Don't let morality kidnap rules, we should guard the social norms of rules, bring a just atmosphere to the society with our actions, let people hold a ruler of rules in their hands, plan the boundaries of their actions and plan the insurmountable scope of their hearts!
Morality and the Rule of Law 6 Dictionary defines "law" as the general name of the rules of conduct that reflect the will of the ruling class, are formulated or recognized by the state, and are enforced by the state, including laws, decrees, regulations, orders and decisions.
"Law" is also closely related to our life. When our legitimate rights and interests are infringed, we will use the law to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests. And if you break the law, you will never escape the punishment of the law.
Aunt Yang of a city went to the business hall of a nearby post office to install a telephone, but a notice was posted in the business hall of the post office, stipulating that all users who install telephones in this city must go to subordinate enterprises to buy telephones, and users must pay the telephone fee first when handling the installation procedures, otherwise they will not be handled. After being refused the telephone installation business, Aunt Yang appealed the practice of this post office to the administrative department for industry and commerce. After verification, the administrative department for industry and commerce pointed out that the enterprise violated the Unfair Competition Law, which constituted unfair trading behavior, ordered the enterprise to stop the illegal behavior and imposed a fine on it. Aunt Yang used legal weapons to safeguard her legitimate rights and interests.
A middle school student in a city in Hubei Province was scolded by his mother after coming home from school because of his unsatisfactory exam results. He hacked his mother to death while she was sleeping at night. The middle school student regretted his impulsive crime for life, and the public security personnel arrested him. After all, he can't escape the punishment of the law. It is also common for some national staff and business leaders to break the law. Many state functionaries used their powers, abused power for personal gain, embezzled illicit money, and finally pushed themselves into the abyss and were punished by law.
We have been studying ideology and politics since childhood. Facing a world full of temptations, as high school students, we should strengthen our legal and moral concepts and consciously regulate our behavior in social life. With the continuous development of society, we should understand the rights and obligations of citizens in social life, know the laws related to society, act according to law, exercise self-discipline, safeguard our legitimate rights and interests according to law, improve our basic quality in an all-round way, consciously abide by laws and regulations, and be an ideal, moral, educated and disciplined citizen.
