Reflections on "Being proud of hard work, being ashamed of leisure and hating work"
On Middle School Students' Outlook on Labor
It is an important part of the socialist concept of honor and disgrace advocated by Comrade Hu Jintao, an incisive summary of the eternal traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and at the same time it has distinct characteristics of the times.
"Heaven rewards diligence". Our Chinese nation is famous for its hard work, and we have created brilliant Chinese civilization in the world with this spirit. Comrade Mao Zedong put it well: "The establishment of the socialist system has opened up a road for us to reach the ideal state, and the realization of the ideal state depends on our hard work." Under the leadership of our Party, China has made great achievements in the great cause of reform, opening up and modernization. However, China has a large population, a weak foundation, unbalanced regional development and underdeveloped productive forces. The relatively backward basic national conditions require us to never be complacent, never slack off, never stagnate, never covet comfort and pursue enjoyment. We must make it clear that to achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, to achieve the real prosperity of the country and the all-round prosperity of the people, we need all the people to continue to work hard, to continue to work ten times or even a hundred times, and to continue to work hard for ten years, twenty years or even longer. Even if the motherland is richer and the people are richer, this virtue and spirit of being proud of hard work must never be lost.
Advocating "to be proud of hard work, to be ashamed of leisure work and to be ashamed of hating work" is to vigorously advocate and carry forward the virtue of hard work. The creation of all material and spiritual wealth is inseparable from hard work. As small as individuals and families, as large as nations and countries, persistent efforts will lead to prosperity; And love leisure and hate work, love pleasure, can only decline and perish. Only by clarifying honor and disgrace, right and wrong, breaking with all thoughts and behaviors that covet comfort and despise and despise labor, and persisting in taking pride in hard work, can we gradually form a new fashion that takes labor as the first need.
Adhering to the principle of "being proud of hard work, being ashamed of leisure work and being ashamed of hating work", each of us in party member, especially the leading cadres at all levels in party member, has a great responsibility. The first thing is to take a good lead and play a vanguard and exemplary role. In accordance with the requirements of "persisting in hard work and consciously creating first-class work performance" put forward by Comrade Hu Jintao, we should be down-to-earth, work hard, be diligent for the people, be brave in dedication, be good at enriching the people and do more things that benefit the people, and set up a moral benchmark of glorious love for labor with conscious actions. Secondly, for the party's leading cadres at all levels, adhering to the concept of "being proud of hard work, being ashamed of leisure, and being ashamed of hating work" is in itself the need to resist the erosion of all kinds of wrong ideas and build a ideological dam against corruption and change. "Worry can rejuvenate the country, and leisure can die." Only by firmly establishing the correct concept of honor and disgrace and the concept of labor, and washing away the ideological dirt with the sweat of hard work, can we despise the wrong thoughts and behaviors of pursuing pleasure and coveting ease, refuse corrosion, never get involved, be diligent and dedicated, and make greater contributions to social progress and national prosperity.
"People's livelihood is diligent, but there is no shortage of diligence." In response to Comrade Hu Jintao's call, we will strive to establish the concept and fashion of "being proud of hard work and being ashamed of leisure and hating work" and stick to it for a long time, and we will surely realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Although our labor is insignificant, it has destroyed the great national spirit formed by the Chinese nation over the past five thousand years. As modern students, should we undertake this work? This problem has been discussed among us, but it has never been satisfactorily reflected. ........
Ideological and Moral Tests Faced by Contemporary Middle School Students and Educational Countermeasures
The resolution of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 14th CPC Central Committee pointed out: "Strengthening the ideological and moral education of teenagers is a major event related to the destiny of the country. It is necessary to help young people establish lofty ideals and cultivate good moral character. Schools at all levels must fully implement the party's educational policy, adhere to the socialist direction of running schools, strengthen moral education, and strive to cultivate socialist builders and successors with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique. " This points out the direction for strengthening the ideological and moral education and training of teenagers in the new period.
The middle school stage is not only an important stage for teenagers to accumulate knowledge, increase their intelligence and strengthen their physical strength, but also a crucial period for laying the ideological and moral foundation. Especially in the new social environment of reform and opening up and socialist market economy, the ideological and moral formation of middle school students is influenced by many complicated factors and faces many puzzles and tests. Fully estimating the multidimensional effects of these puzzles and tests and adopting practical educational countermeasures are the key to help middle school students establish correct ideological and moral concepts and comprehensively cultivate new people with "four haves".
Contemporary middle school students are very different from those in the fifties and sixties and the seventies and eighties. On the one hand, they are surrounded by dense social and cultural information, rich in knowledge, well-informed, generally improved in intelligence, and like to think independently rather than blindly follow. On the other hand, most middle school students come from one-child families and are used to being "emperors" since childhood. The result of liking them too much is easy to form stubborn, moody and self-centered thinking and behavior habits. In addition, in recent years, both families and schools, driven by exam-oriented education, have actually paid attention to the cultivation of intellectual factors and neglected the cultivation and improvement of virtue, and rarely let students get exercise in the fiery social life practice, leading to the widespread phenomenon of moral and intellectual education. This will easily lead to the defects and contradictions in the personality cultivation of middle school students.
In the current tide of reform and opening up and the establishment of socialist market economy, all the self-centered values prevailing in western society and the decadent and harmful values such as "everything is money-oriented" popular in society are reflected in the minds of middle school students through various channels, including some family channels, which seriously affect students' correct learning goals and judgments on the value of life. As a middle school student who just opened his eyes to see the world independently, he has a strong thirst for knowledge and self-motivation, but because of his poor judgment and weak self-control, he is easy to shake and fall into many contradictions. I am willing to accept the great ambition of studying hard for the future construction of the motherland, but I can't stand the temptation of all kinds of quick success and instant benefit, especially the envy of some people, who speculate and make a fortune, spend money lavishly, eat, drink and have fun, waver from time to time about the great ideal and lack the motivation to learn; He has a good psychological foundation of innocence, helpfulness and sympathy for the weak in establishing the excellent quality of unity, friendship and helping others, but he is hard to extricate himself because of the selfish and self-centered habit formed by too much care and love since childhood. On the other hand, due to the negative factors in the current social atmosphere, contemporary middle school students have excessive psychological pressure, improper family and school education methods, and their closed psychology, rebellious psychology and even criminal tendency obviously exist; In the understanding of gender relations, contemporary middle school students' understanding of gender knowledge has increased significantly. Due to the mysterious feeling of the opposite sex inevitably produced by physical and psychological development and the influence of some bad social atmosphere of sexual openness, puppy love and intentional or unintentional sexual harassment have large and small markets among middle school students. And so on. These massive social environment factors and their own factors are influencing middle school students' thoughts and psychology every day, forming a special ideological and psychological environment and moral and psychological atmosphere for contemporary middle school students, and dominating their words and deeds. This poses a more complicated and severe challenge to our moral education.
As the main front of education, school is also the main battlefield of moral education. Doing a good job in moral education for middle school students and constantly improving their ideological and moral quality are not only the needs of cultivating talents for cross-century construction, but also our unshirkable social responsibility.
First of all, every educator and teacher should firmly establish the idea of "teaching and educating people". In the past, people often regarded people's teachers as "engineers who shaped human souls". This is the highest evaluation and greatest expectation of the whole society for educators. In recent years, due to various subjective and objective factors, many people have become indifferent to the concept of teaching and educating people. The unhealthy trend of one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate makes it quite common to teach without educating people. This is the dereliction of duty of children misled by the purpose of socialist education. If this phenomenon is not changed as soon as possible, it will be empty talk to train successors with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique.
Secondly, "being a teacher by example" should be the criterion of teachers' words and deeds. Contemporary middle school students' independent cognitive ability and idol worship are enhanced. If they don't occupy their psychological space with positive images, they will seek other idols to fill their idolatry thirst. Therefore, teachers must set a benchmark for students' lives with a beautiful image of being a teacher. In words and deeds, every move should appear in front of students with a kind, lively, positive, upward, lofty and confident image, so that students can learn habits, imitate each other and learn from each other, which can not only greatly shorten the psychological distance between teachers and students, but also play a subtle role in infiltrating and demonstrating the formation of students' correct world outlook, outlook on life and values.
Third, establish a trinity education network system of school, family and society centered on school. As an education center, the school has the advantages of special teaching procedures and methods, well-trained teachers and teaching environment, but it is difficult to complete the educational task without combining with family education and social education. It is necessary for the three to maintain regular information transmission and exchange, and each has its own duties and great responsibilities. In particular, it is necessary to strengthen communication and contact with families and parents, help parents establish correct educational concepts, master correct educational guidance methods, and break the insurmountable "generation gap" between parents and middle school students' children. In recent years, in order to strengthen cultural expertise, some schools have implemented so-called "closed management", artificially isolating students from the flesh-and-blood ties with their families and society, and blocking the formation of students' good ideological and moral character and their comprehensive feelings and understanding of society and life. Such closed management may also cultivate a group of intellectual aristocrats with good cultural knowledge, but it may also create a group of spiritual beggars who are not familiar with the world. This is incompatible with the task of building a Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new century.
Fourth, pay attention to organizing students to participate in productive labor and social practice, help them understand the society, understand the national conditions, hone their will, and gradually enhance their sense of responsibility for building the motherland and rejuvenating China. Middle school students, both physically and intellectually, have the ability to adapt to certain physical labor, skilled labor and know the society. Through the practical activities of combining education with productive labor and social life practice, they will be more motivated to study actively and creatively. Every middle school and class should establish contact with factories, rural areas, institutions and units outside the school, visit and study regularly, take part in labor or carry out various activities conducive to the healthy growth of middle school students, and cultivate correct world outlook, outlook on life, values and labor outlook.
Fifth, give full play to the advanced demonstration role of the leading group organization, actively cultivate and absorb middle school students with excellent moral, intellectual and physical performance to join the party, expand the team and create a good atmosphere; Actively guide middle school students to participate in various beneficial public welfare activities and undertakings in society, such as "Project Hope" and "Young Volunteers", organize middle school students to visit and study in revolutionary traditional education and patriotic education bases, and cultivate their ideological outlook and spiritual sentiment of loving the party, patriotism, mutual help and friendship, and helping others.
The ideological and moral construction of contemporary middle school students is a painstaking and meticulous systematic project, which requires not only the active efforts of educators? At the same time, it is also inseparable from the extensive participation of the whole society. However, the breadth and depth of these participation reflect the initiative of school work. Therefore, the task facing every middle school educator is a long way to go.
Labor activity is a necessary way to implement moral education. Many countries in the world generally believe that carrying out labor education is an inevitable condition for cultivating students' all-round development. The resolution of the 38th General Conference of UNESCO pointed out: "The importance of combining education with productive labor lies not only in the fact that it can create skilled labor, but also in the fact that education can be more closely linked with changing working conditions and contribute to the all-round development of individuals". In educational practice, the former Soviet Union included labor education in the teaching plan as early as the 1960s, which not only stipulated that primary and secondary schools should arrange certain hours of labor every week, but also extensively carried out student labor in universities. The main feature of its activities is to organize college students' labor teams during holidays. In many western countries, students' life and career guidance is carried out through and with the help of labor education. In universities, they think that letting students take part in labor is conducive to cultivating students' dedication to work hard for national interests in the future. American universities often participate in social activities, allowing students to participate in voluntary labor in social service units and some service work on campus. They also often provide students with the opportunity to "work" and engage in some "paid" labor. There are also many graduate schools that improve the professional ethics of graduate students through social service labor. For example, more than 50% graduate students of Harvard University volunteer to be teachers in orphanages, make up lessons for poor students in primary and secondary schools, visit homes for the elderly and help community organizations. US President Bill Clinton is implementing the "City Year" plan to serve American society. Its purpose is to make young people and college students better contact with society and cultivate their spirit of cooperation, racial unity and social consciousness. He asked college students to do all kinds of work for the society, including organizing recreational activities for the elderly, repairing playgrounds and parks, repairing and painting shelters for the homeless, and serving as teachers' assistants in schools. Many schools in Japan regard "old education", that is, dormitory education as the main body of moral education, and dormitory labor education is well done. The goal of Japanese middle school students' labor class is to cultivate students' views on labor and occupation. The choice of physical labor content and the arrangement of labor classes in Japanese schools are clearly defined. For example, they work according to the production situation of the school and the age and physical strength of the students. The labor class focuses on beautifying the environment, social service labor and productive labor in the workplace set up by the school. Teachers must work with students, and so on. In recent years, Japan has carried out a kind of activity of "going to the countryside" and "studying abroad" in some primary and secondary schools, allowing students to go to islands, rural areas and remote cottages with poor living conditions to receive labor education, collectivism, folk customs and education of loving nature after hard training. A considerable number of students in Japanese national and private universities are engaged in work-study programs, including physical and mental work, and work as tutors or corporate waiters for primary and secondary school students. Especially in private universities, some students pay high tuition fees through work-study programs. These educational methods and activities are deeply supported and praised by the Japanese people and society.
