First, the essence of morality.
What is morality? In China's classical literature, literally, "Tao" generally refers to the laws and regulations of the development and change of things, and also has the meanings of "reason" and "law", such as the "way of doing things"; "Virtue" mainly refers to people's conduct and personality. In Zhu's Notes to Four Books, there is such an explanation: "Tao is the way of human relations in daily life." Knowing this is right, and there will be no confusion. ""Germany also, the Tao is in the heart without losing. If you keep it in your heart, you will be the only one in the end, and you will have new achievements. "In our current words, the so-called Tao refers to the correct rules and principles that people should follow in their daily lives. The so-called "virtue", that is, the trip of "knowing from the heart", means not only knowing in thought, but also going up in action. Therefore, a moral person must be a reasonable person and a moral person.
Second, the main content of socialist moral construction
Serving the people is the core of socialist moral construction. This is our party's new scientific understanding of moral construction, and it is also the inevitable requirement of socialist moral construction. First, everything starts from the people's interests and stands on the people's side. It is based on the overall situation, overall situation, long-term and fundamental interests of the broad masses of the people, and it is based on the support of the people, whether they support it or not, whether they are happy or not. Second, we should regard serving the people as the code of conduct for dealing with socialist interpersonal relations. It is necessary to form a moral atmosphere of mutual service in the whole society and let the moral spirit of serving the people permeate all aspects of interpersonal relationships. We should encourage each other, support each other, complement each other, promote each other, cooperate sincerely and work together. For colleagues and comrades, the friendship between people should be cherished, cultivated and developed, not destroyed, trampled and vilified. Third, we should take serving the people as our duty and obligation. Kong Fansen is a good cadre of the Party and has a strong sense of responsibility to serve the people. He said: "I am the secretary of the Ali prefectural party Committee. This title is not only a position and a resume, but also a responsibility and burden. " In his view, it is his bounden duty to devote all his energy to the cause of the people and lead them out of poverty and become rich. To fulfill this bounden duty, we must use our own practical actions to prove that * * * people really serve the people. Every citizen should also do his duty and serve the people through his professional and social activities.
2. Collectivism is the basic principle that socialist morality must adhere to. First, collective interests are higher than individual interests. Collective interests represent the long-term, fundamental and overall interests of each collective member, and are the premise and guarantee for realizing individual interests, which determines that collective interests must be higher than individual interests. Second, under the premise of safeguarding the overall interests of society, to realize the combination of individual interests and collective interests, any one-sided emphasis on collective interests while ignoring individual interests, or using personal interests and personal needs as an excuse to seek personal gain and harm collective interests by improper means and methods are fundamentally incompatible with the moral principles of collectivism. Third, when there is a contradiction between individual interests and collective interests, individual interests should consciously obey collective interests, which is the fundamental requirement of the principle of socialist collectivism. When there is a contradiction between the overall interests of society, collective interests and individual interests, it is necessary to advocate that individuals take the overall situation into account and put the overall interests of society and collective interests first.
3. Social morality, professional ethics and family virtues are the main contents of socialist moral construction. First, social morality. Social morality refers to the minimum and most basic moral principles that people in a certain society abide by in order to maintain the normal life of society. Socialist social morality mainly includes the following aspects: first, obeying the law. It requires people to abide by the laws and regulations of the state and not to do things that violate the law and discipline and endanger public safety; The second is civility and politeness. It is based on respect for others and is an indispensable condition for people to maintain friendly and harmonious relations in their communication. The third is to help others. Helping others is mainly manifested in caring, loving and caring for others, being ready to help others and helping the poor. No matter what the occasion, it is a noble performance of one's mind. The fourth is to take care of public property. Caring for public property is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen. Every citizen should cherish, cherish and cherish public property in the spirit of being a master, and resolutely oppose acts of destroying and damaging public property. The fifth is to protect the environment. Social morality involves not only the relationship between people, but also the relationship between man and nature and the interests of all mankind. A basic requirement of social morality on environmental issues is that human beings should not only meet the current needs, but also leave an environment that can meet the needs for future generations. Arbitrary treatment of nature, resulting in ecological imbalance, will not only endanger the interests of modern people, but also infringe on future human rights. Second, professional ethics. Professional ethics refers to the moral norms followed by people engaged in a certain profession in their professional life, as well as the corresponding moral concepts, sentiments and qualities. In socialist society, although different professions have different moral norms, the basic principles of any profession are the same. Third, family virtues. First, respect and love each other and grow old together. The second is to respect parents and love children. Third, brotherhood and neighborhood unity. Fourth, thrifty housekeeping, thrifty housekeeping.
Third, how to strengthen moral cultivation.
1, based on morality, always cultivate the virtue of politics and enhance the sense of being ahead of the times of civil servants. First of all, we should pay attention to the word "repair" and strengthen self-discipline. People's behavior in society is poor, charming and confusing, and some things may "bump into" you from time to time. At this time, whether to keep good or evil is sometimes just a matter of thought, but the result is quite different. Some people can't resist the temptation of money, beauty and power, corrupt and degenerate, and have fallen. The fundamental reason is that they can't "correct" themselves in time and let themselves go. Therefore, civil servants should always be strict with themselves, be poor, endure loneliness and resist temptation; We should be "cautious and independent", "cautious and independent" and "cautious at the beginning", not for the sake of small, not for the sake of small.
Secondly, we must adhere to the word "help" and base ourselves on long-term effectiveness. People need three meals a day to cultivate good health, and as a national civil servant, they also need to "wake up three times a day" to cultivate high quality. It is not difficult for a person to do a good deed. It is difficult to do a good deed all one's life. It is not difficult to be a good person for a while. It's hard to be a good person all your life. Improving the quality of civil servants is not achieved overnight. You can't catch cold once, you can't fish for three days and dry your net for two days. You must persevere and get into the habit. Therefore, we should actively explore ways and methods to do a good job in the regular education and management of civil servants under the new historical conditions, learn good practices, popularize good experiences, and strive to explore a long-term mechanism so that the vast number of civil servants and cadres can receive education for a long time and keep their advanced nature forever. Third, we should combine "cultivation" with "cultivation" to achieve a "wake up" and maintain the essence. The construction of civil servants should adhere to the combination of "cultivation" and "cultivation", always deeply understand the essential meaning of "public office is public office", always keep a clear head, always keep in mind the nature, program, tasks and objectives of the party, and the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and firmly establish the party spirit of building the party for the public and governing for the people; Firmly establish the mass consciousness that power is used by the people, feelings are tied to the people, and benefits are sought for the people.
2. Establish a correct outlook on life, values, bitter optimism, honor and disgrace, know yourself objectively and treat others correctly. How to measure whether a country's civil servants' outlook on life, values, bitter optimism and outlook on honor and disgrace are correct, we should grasp such standards: closely link their life ideals with the pursuit and maintenance of national interests, mass interests, social progress and economic development, and such a outlook on life is noble and correct. Because a correct outlook on life can consciously check whether one's behavior meets the requirements of social progress and economic development when thinking about problems and doing things; Whether it conforms to the party's line, principles and policies, and whether it harms the interests of the state and the masses.
3. Enrich civil servants' own social and professional knowledge and improve their ability to distinguish right from wrong. First of all, read more history books and learn history; Second, study theory seriously and arm your mind with scientific theories. Third, sum up lessons in practice, accumulate experience and improve the ability to distinguish right from wrong. A civil servant's ideological and moral cultivation, cultural cultivation, legal knowledge, social knowledge cultivation, personal experience, environment, social habits and personality all directly affect his ability to judge right and wrong. Therefore, it is the key to strengthen the ideological and moral cultivation of civil servants to look at this issue objectively, comprehensively and developmentally. In real life, people's ability to judge right and wrong varies widely. Judge right and wrong according to personal likes and dislikes, affirm if it suits your own mind, and deny if it doesn't; People follow suit, follow suit; Some people abandon the principle of cronyism; Some bosses are afraid to adopt the correct opinions of their subordinates and lose face and make wrong decisions; All these performances have brought serious negative effects. Whether a person is good or bad depends on his main strengths or weaknesses, not only on how good the strengths are to the country and society, but also on how harmful the weaknesses are to the country and society. Generally speaking, we should look at the strengths first, then at the weaknesses, make full use of the strengths to avoid the weaknesses, make up the weaknesses when we play the strengths, look at the strengths first and then look at the weaknesses, and overcome the weaknesses in the process of playing the strengths, instead of always controlling people with the weaknesses.
As a national civil servant, only by paying attention to self-cultivation, strengthening self-discipline, establishing a correct outlook on life, clarifying the standard of right and wrong, and improving the ability to distinguish right from wrong by using scientific theories and methods can we really improve our ideological and moral cultivation.
