On June 5438+ 10, 2006, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee clearly put forward the idea of building a socialist core value system, which aroused widespread concern in the whole society. Recently, General Secretary Hu Jintao emphasized in his important speech on "June 25th" that it is necessary to vigorously build a socialist core value system and consolidate the ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole Party and the people of the whole country. Then, why do you propose to build a socialist core value system? How to understand the basic content of the socialist core value system? How to build a socialist core value system? These are questions that people are very concerned about and need to answer seriously.
Why do you propose to build a socialist core value system?
A person's life is always influenced and dominated by certain values, which are indispensable like the compass of life. Similarly, a country and a society also need a universally recognized value system to maintain. It is the core value system that occupies the core position and plays a leading role in this system. It is the spiritual bond to maintain social unity and harmony, the spiritual motive force to promote the all-round development of society, and the spiritual banner to guide the direction of society.
In today's China, the socialist core value system is the inner spirit and soul of life of the socialist system, and it is the essential provision of the socialist system at the value level. It reveals the motive force of economic, political, cultural and social development of socialist countries, embodies the development requirements of a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious socialist modern country, and reflects the core interests and common aspirations of people of all ethnic groups in China. Under the background of profound changes in the current economic system, social structure, interest pattern, ideology and culture, it is of great theoretical significance and practical pertinence to put forward the construction of socialist core value system.
The proposal of building a socialist core value system shows the ideological and spiritual banner of our party to the world. Since the reform and opening-up, our party has led the people to successfully explore a road to Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and established a relatively mature system and system in economy, politics and culture. In line with these fundamental systems and systems, there must be a value system that dominates the thinking and behavior of the whole society. Especially with the further development of the reform and opening up and the socialist market economy, the independence, selectivity, variability and differences of people's ideological activities are constantly increasing, and it is increasingly urgent to clearly define the core content of the socialist value system. The core value system is a banner. A clear-cut display is to show people that no matter how diverse and changeable social thoughts are, no matter how people's value orientation changes, China's socialist core value system cannot be shaken.
It is pointed out that building a socialist core value system is the need to consolidate the ideological foundation of the unity and struggle of the whole party and the people of the whole country. The ideological basis of * * * is the fundamental prerequisite for the existence and development of a party, a country and a nation. Without the ideological foundation of * * *, the party will disintegrate, the society will be in turmoil and the country will split. It is very necessary and urgent to make a scientific summary and clear definition of the ideological foundation of the Party and the people formed in the long-term revolution, construction and reform struggle, and to clarify its basic connotation and requirements, so as to facilitate the whole party and society to understand and grasp it more comprehensively and accurately. In today's increasingly diversified social concepts and people's value orientation. The proposal of the socialist core value system clearly reveals the basic connotation and requirements of our ideological foundation, which will promote the whole party and society to safeguard our ideological foundation more consciously.
Putting forward the construction of socialist core value system is conducive to guiding the ideological and moral progress of the whole society. Now people's ideas, moral consciousness and value orientation are more and more hierarchical. We can't lower or even deny the requirement of advanced nature because of the existence of multi-level ideology and morality, and we can't disregard the objective differences of people's ideology and morality and demand all members of society with one standard. So, what can we use to guide people to constantly improve and progress ideologically and morally? The proposal of socialist core value system has answered this question in a concentrated way. The socialist core value system not only embodies the advanced requirements of ideological and moral construction, but also embodies the extensive requirements of ideological and moral construction; Adhere to the direction of advanced culture and give consideration to the ideological situation of people at different levels; It not only embodies the consistent desire and pursuit, but also covers different groups and strata. It has a wide range of applicability and inclusiveness, strong integration and leading power, and is a spiritual bond linking all ethnic groups and all walks of life.
It is pointed out that building a socialist core value system is an urgent need to strengthen national cohesion and improve national competitiveness. In today's world, the economies of various countries are both integrated and competitive, and different cultures are both learning from each other and stirring with each other. The deepening of economic globalization not only challenges the connotation of national sovereignty, but also impacts people's national concept and national identity. The competition between countries is not only manifested in the competition of hard power such as economy, science and technology, military, but also in the contest of soft power. In soft power, the core value system is the most critical, which directly reflects the cohesion of the nation and the core competitiveness of the country. "The world is the softest and the strongest." In this case, the proposal of building a socialist core value system is conducive to further rallying people's hearts, boosting morale, improving national competitiveness under the condition of economic globalization, and safeguarding the interests of the country and the nation in the fierce international competition.
In addition, building a socialist core value system is also the basis of building a harmonious culture. Only by grasping this foundation can we establish a harmonious concept, cultivate a harmonious spirit, form a harmonious interpersonal relationship and shape a harmonious mentality, create a harmonious atmosphere of public opinion, and form a good moral trend and common ideals and beliefs.
How to understand the basic content of the socialist core value system?
The socialist core value system sounds unfathomable. In fact, its content is very clear and concrete, which is reflected in the concrete behavior of social members and in real life, and is closely related to each of us. It includes four basic contents, namely, the guiding ideology of Marxism, the ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's unification, the national spirit with patriotism as the core, the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, and the socialist concept of honor and disgrace.
The guiding ideology of Marxism is the soul of the socialist core value system. We are a socialist country, and Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for building the party and the country and the banner of socialist ideology. It provides us with a scientific world outlook and methodology, and determines the nature and direction of the socialist core value system.
As a theory that originated from 150 years ago, why should it persist today? Adhere to Marxism, because it is a scientific truth, organically combine strict scientificity with high revolutionary, and reveal the development law of human society. Looking around the world today, there are various theoretical thoughts and schools, but it is undeniable that Marxism is still at the peak of the history of human social thought and is still a beacon to guide human progress. Marxism is an open theoretical system, which is always based on objective facts, absorbs, draws lessons from and integrates various outstanding ideological and cultural achievements, and keeps advancing and developing in practice. For more than 80 years, the Communist Party of China (CPC) insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the reality of China, successively formed three theoretical achievements of Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents, and put forward a series of important strategic thoughts such as Scientific Outlook on Development, which constantly endowed Marxism with strong vitality. It is under the guidance of China Marxism that our Party has been moving from victory to victory, turning a poor and backward China into an initially prosperous and powerful China.
The unity of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and ideal is the theme of the socialist core value system. This * * * ideal is to take the Socialism with Chinese characteristics road and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation under the leadership of the China * * * Production Party. Looking back on the history of 100 years since modern times, it is the pursuit and dream of several generations of Chinese children to realize national rejuvenation. After the founding of New China, our Party found the correct way to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the process of leading the people to build socialism. This road not only adheres to the basic principles of scientific socialism, but also endows China with distinctive China characteristics and new strong vitality for national rejuvenation. Since the reform and opening up 29 years ago, the socialist system has been self-improved and developed through innovation, and great achievements have been made in economic and social development, further strengthening the belief of people of all ethnic groups in China to realize the same ideal.
Ideal is a beacon, a sail, leading social progress. Socialism with Chinese characteristics's ideal is the banner of the development and progress of contemporary China, and it is also the banner of mobilizing and inspiring the people of all ethnic groups in the country to unite and struggle. It reflects the fundamental interests, common aspirations and universal pursuit of the overwhelming majority of the people in our country. It is both concrete and inspiring. It closely links the development of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation and the happiness of individuals, organically combines the common aspirations of all classes and groups, and has strong appeal, affinity and cohesion. People of all social classes and interest groups can agree with and accept this ideal and are willing to fight for it.
National spirit and spirit of the times are the essence of the socialist core value system. It is the spiritual pillar of a nation's survival and development. In the historical evolution of 5,000 years, the Chinese nation has formed a great national spirit of unity, peace-loving, hard-working, courage and self-improvement with patriotism as the core. In the new era of reform and opening up, the Chinese nation has formed the spirit of the times of being brave in reform and innovation. They complement each other and blend with each other, and have been deeply cast in the vitality, creativity and cohesion of the Chinese nation. * * * together constitute the spiritual character of self-reliance and self-improvement of the Chinese nation and become the spiritual driving force to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
For thousands of years, no matter how many difficulties and setbacks it faces, the Chinese nation has always held high the torch of the national spirit and the spirit of the times. It is this spirit that keeps the Chinese nation alive, handed down from generation to generation and striving for progress; It is in this spirit that the Chinese nation resists foreign aggression and wins national independence and liberation. In the new historical period, it is also in this spirit to seize the opportunity, accelerate development, and move from poverty to prosperity; To achieve the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation still depends on this spirit. Only by vigorously carrying forward the national spirit and the spirit of the times can we inherit the bitter and weather-beaten spiritual essence of the Chinese nation, constantly expand the spiritual connotation of our nation's self-improvement, unity and forge ahead, and constantly enhance national self-esteem, self-confidence and pride, so that people of all ethnic groups can always unite under the banner of loving and rejuvenating China.
The socialist concept of honor and disgrace is the foundation of the socialist core value system. Whether a society is harmonious or not and whether a country can achieve long-term stability depends largely on the ideological and moral quality of all members of society. Only by distinguishing honor and disgrace from good and evil can a person form a correct value judgment and a society form a good moral trend. In a developing country with a population of more than 65.438+0.3 billion and 56 nationalities, to achieve the goal and pursuit of career development and social harmony, we must consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, establish correct ideals and beliefs, advocate the great national spirit and the spirit of the times, and establish values and codes of conduct that everyone knows and universally pursues.
The socialist concept of honor and disgrace with "eight honors and eight disgraces" as the main content is incisive and profound, which runs through all fields of social life and covers all interest groups, including all aspects of life attitude and social fashion. It organically integrates the socialist ideological and moral concepts that are adapted to the socialist market economic system, coordinated with the socialist legal norms and inherited from the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, clearly points out what is true, good and beautiful and what is false, evil and ugly, and provides basic norms for people to judge the gains and losses of behavior, make moral choices and determine the value orientation under the conditions of the socialist market economy. Only by establishing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace and letting all members of society know about honor and disgrace, promoting honor and restraining shame, can the socialist core value system rely on and reflect. The socialist core value system is complete and systematic, with rigorous structure, clear positioning and distinct levels. It adheres to socialism with China characteristics, summarizes successful experiences and has new generalization, which reflects the urgent needs of reality and can be realized through hard work, and can promote and form the understanding of the whole society to the maximum extent.
How to build a socialist core value system?
When it comes to Qingdao, people will think of charming beaches and refreshing beer. Now, this beautiful coastal city has another beautiful city card "Dust". "Dust" was originally signed by an ordinary citizen of Qingdao during several donations. Later, more and more people who are enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings left the name "Dust" and gradually became a symbol of caring for others. The donation box and badge named after it entered the streets of Qingdao. Many actions similar to "dust" have converged into the same value pursuit in our time, which also tells us that building a socialist core value system requires the joint efforts of all of us.
The ancients said: knowledge is knowledge first. Only when the correct value system is generally accepted, understood and mastered by the people and transformed into social group consciousness can people consciously abide by and pursue it. To build a socialist core value system, we must first intensify research and publicity, create a strong atmosphere of public opinion, and make it a household name. Make full use of the unique advantages of mass media, take various forms, vigorously publicize the great significance and basic content of building a socialist core value system, and publicize the vivid practice and fresh experience of the broad masses of cadres and the masses in building a socialist core value system. It is necessary to integrate the socialist core value system into the whole process of spiritual civilization construction and run through theoretical armed forces, press and publication, radio, film and television, literature and art, social science and other work practices, so as to promote the construction of the socialist core value system with better and more spiritual and cultural products. Further enrich the connotation of spiritual civilization creation activities and improve the level of creation, so that people are always infected and edified by the socialist core value system, truly perceived, recognized and accepted by the broad masses of the people, internalized into people's values, and externalized into people's conscious actions.
Things are complicated, so we must grasp the key. Leading cadres are the key to building a socialist core value system. Leadership means leading the way, and cadres should take the lead. The behavior of leading cadres and their theoretical accomplishment, ideals and beliefs, spiritual outlook, ideological realm and moral sentiments have an important demonstration and leading role in the construction of socialist core value system. Every leading cadre should take the socialist core value system as a mirror, live in the sunshine, save time, set an example and set an example first. What ordinary people are required to do is done first; If the people are asked not to do it, they will resolutely not do it and set an example for the people with their exemplary actions and personality strength.
Teenagers are the future of the motherland and the hope of the nation. To build a socialist core value system, we must persist in starting with teenagers. From family education, school education to social education, from pre-school education to higher education, the socialist core value system should be integrated and infiltrated into it, making it the core content of the whole education process. According to teenagers' cognitive level, behavioral ability and psychological characteristics, we should scientifically plan educational content and improve teaching methods, so that teenagers can develop basic moral education quality from an early age. Taking the practice of the socialist core value system as an important part of the construction of teachers' morality, we should guide teachers to learn to be teachers and influence and drive students with their exemplary words and deeds.
To build a socialist core value system, we should pay attention to leading various social trends of thought. Social ideological trend is an ideological tendency that has an important impact on social life in a certain period of time, and in a sense, it is a "barometer" of social atmosphere. We should know all kinds of tendentious problems in the field of ideological theory in time, carefully analyze the essential characteristics, main contents, manifestations, practical influences and roots of various social ideological trends, and take targeted measures to guide them to move forward along a healthy track and develop in a positive direction. At the same time, we should expand our knowledge in respecting differences, build harmony in tolerance and diversity, strive to form a vivid situation of unity, harmony and unity, and create a harmonious cause together.
