National defense consciousness is a concentrated expression of consciously safeguarding the interests of the nation and the country, and a comprehensive embodiment of the national spirit and quality. Fighting spirit is the highest form of national defense consciousness. Fighting spirit is the unique mental state and temperament characteristics of the army, and it is the concentrated embodiment of the quality and consciousness of soldiers. The fighting spirit has a strong guiding role in the national defense consciousness of the whole people. A long-term peaceful environment is easy to make people feel relaxed and paralyzed. Desalinate national defense awareness. In the period of important strategic opportunities to safeguard national development, it is necessary to strengthen national defense education, guide the broad masses of cadres and people to establish the concept of "great national defense", keep in mind that "the world is safe, and forgetting to fight will be dangerous", constantly enhance the sense of responsibility and mission of caring for national defense, form a good atmosphere for the whole society to participate in national defense construction, and provide strong support for cultivating fighting spirit. The cultivation of the fighting spirit of the army should focus on the core contents such as patriotic dedication, firm belief, dare to fight and win. Forging soldiers' excellent fighting temperament under high-tech conditions will set an example for the whole sociology and promote the improvement of national defense consciousness of the whole people. \x0d For China, security and sovereignty always come first. China is the country with the most complicated surrounding environment and diversified security threats among all countries in the world. It is particularly important to fully understand and accurately grasp the development of the situation and tasks and strengthen the national defense concept and national defense education of the whole people. X0d Today, the world is changing. Although peace and development have become the mainstream of the world, contradictions between countries and regions still exist and ethnic conflicts continue. Before the formation of the new world political and economic structure, the struggle of various forces became increasingly fierce, hegemonic power politics still existed, and the world was not peaceful. In the new century, China's modernization has been accelerated and its reform has been deepened. While the comprehensive national strength is constantly increasing, the pressure on national defense is also increasing. Some western powers do not want to see the strength of China, and try their best to hinder the progress of China. As a school to train socialist successors, it is bound to prepare talents for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new century, strengthen national defense education, enhance national defense awareness, establish young people's awareness of serving the motherland from an early age, and cultivate a strong reserve army to defend the motherland. Strengthening national defense education is the unshirkable responsibility of our educators. Improving teenagers' awareness of national defense is one of the main contents of school moral education, and it is also an integral part of patriotism education. It is related to national security and the future of the nation, and whether teenagers can become the comprehensive talents that the motherland and people need. As the saying goes, "the country is undefended and the people are in trouble." National defense is the security guarantee for the survival and development of the country. It is inseparable from the country's sovereign independence, territorial integrity, security, unity and stability. It is a wise decision of the CPC Central Committee to carry out national defense education at the right time in middle school, whether to ensure that the internal affairs of the country are not interfered, sovereignty is not violated, and territory is not divided, or to realize the reunification of the motherland, promote the long-term stability of the country and people's livelihood and contentment. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. We must release some of them on the basis of completing the teaching of scientific knowledge. \x0d 1。 Strengthening the concept of national defense in the information age \x0d The concept of national defense in the information age is a comprehensive and dynamic reflection of military struggle and national defense tasks, national defense significance, national defense methods and corresponding national defense characteristics in people's minds. In a sense, the spiritual role of national defense concept in national defense construction is more important than material factors such as economic potential and scientific and technological potential at some times and occasions. Without a solid concept of national defense, there will be no effective transformation of economic potential and scientific and technological potential, and national defense modernization will only be empty talk. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to regard national defense as a "centripetal force" to unite people of all ethnic groups and defend national interests, and a "weather vane" to lead people to overcome difficulties and obstacles and consciously care for and strengthen national defense construction. The concept of national defense covers many aspects, such as military affairs, politics, economy, science and technology, culture and so on. Both connotation and extension have been greatly expanded. New concepts such as marine defense concept, space defense concept and network defense concept emerge one after another, which are vivid and rich, providing a broad imagination space and endless themes for our military news propaganda. Comrade * * * pointed out: "As long as the country exists, there will be national defense, and national defense education will be carried out for a long time. As a lifelong education for citizens, the 14th and 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to "do a good job in national defense education". This is a strategic task put forward by the CPC Central Committee to ensure the long-term stability of the country under the complicated and changeable international situation and the new situation of domestic reform and opening up. Military news propaganda, as an important mouthpiece of public opinion guidance, should do a good job in this regard. \x0d II。 Maintaining the sense of national hardship in peacetime \x0d "is born of hardship." "Die in happiness" is an irrefutable truth that has been repeatedly proved for thousands of years. Only by maintaining enough sense of urgency and seeing the threats we face can we have the courage and determination to make progress. The field of military news is full of blood and fire, glory and shame, and it is an ideal media platform to carry out the education of hardship consciousness. In order to make the sense of hardship deeply rooted in people's hearts, military news propaganda should not only pay attention to the analysis of the current international and domestic situation, but also pay more attention to the early warning report of possible crises, even if the real situation is not so dangerous in front of us. The crisis report of public opinion is helpful to arouse the vigilance of the masses, but it has no harm. On the contrary, we are blindly optimistic, only seeing our own strong advantages, not thinking about our own shortcomings and future difficulties, only thinking about the present life and not thinking about living too hard in the long run, which will only lead to a serious crisis in the end. \x0d Take the report on the development of military technology as an example. In the past military news propaganda, the existing equipment of our army was compared with that of the Liberation War or even some time ago. Although this kind of comparison is conducive to carrying forward the glorious tradition of our army and establishing the confidence to dare to fight and fight, it is easy to breed blind optimism if we blindly immerse ourselves in it. Therefore, we should also pay attention to comparing with the advanced foreign troops to some extent in propaganda and reporting, understand the gap and learn from experience. \x0d III。 Strengthen national defense education for all. X0d insists on using Scientific Outlook on Development to guide national defense education, create a strong atmosphere to support national defense, speed up the infrastructure construction of national defense education, promote the development and innovation of national defense education, establish and improve the working mechanism of organization and leadership, carry out in-depth education on national security situation with preparing for danger in times of peace and paying attention to national defense as the main content, publicize the great significance of national defense construction, enhance the people's national defense concept and sense of hardship, and strive to promote national reform, development and stability. Carry out in-depth patriotic education with loving the motherland and rejuvenating China as the main content, enhance national identity and national pride, and make national defense education better serve the all-round construction of a well-off society. Make full use of the favorable opportunity of National Defense Education Day, earnestly carry out publicity and education activities, improve the enthusiasm of the broad masses of people for loving, caring for and dedicating themselves to national defense, and enhance the national defense awareness of all citizens. X0d At this stage, we urgently need to strengthen national defense education for primary and secondary school students, which is a historical lesson and a realistic necessity. National defense education is a national defense consciousness and knowledge education with patriotism as the core, which encourages citizens to consciously safeguard national interests and fulfill various national defense obligations. National defense education is actually the education of patriotism and revolutionary heroism, the education of national spirit and national integrity, and the education of arousing people's sense of hardship and national crisis. It is an important aspect of socialist spiritual civilization. For a country, a nation, especially schools, national defense education is an indispensable basic education, the soul of national security and national interests, and the basic project and central link to enhance citizens' national defense concept and improve citizens' national defense quality. We must strengthen national defense education for primary and secondary school students, which is the need to consolidate national defense and resist aggression. It is the need to cultivate qualified national defense reserve talents in the new century. It is a truth confirmed by history that the country will be established without defense and the people will not be able to live. The future war against aggression is not only a contest of military strength, but also a contest of comprehensive national strength and even national cohesion. Today's primary and secondary school students are undoubtedly the backbone of tomorrow's national defense construction. Therefore, under peaceful conditions, strengthening the national defense education of primary and secondary school students is an important issue that we need to seriously study and solve. In short, at the beginning of the new century, it can be predicted that as long as we attach great importance to the national defense concept and education of the whole people, China's national defense modernization will be further consolidated and developed, and our country will be able to calmly deal with all kinds of unexpected situations that may occur, thus ensuring an invincible position in the future military struggle. China should be developed into a global power with strong economic and national defense strength, a decisive voice in world affairs, the ability to contain wars and safeguard world peace.
