College students shoulder the future of the country and the nation and are the successors of China's socialist construction. They are in a critical period of ideological formation. Therefore, strengthening college students' faith education is of great significance not only to their personal development, but also to the country, nation and society. Contemporary college students are not only a generation facing the future, but also an elite group in China. From a personal point of view, lofty ideals and ambitions are the first step towards success; From the social point of view, the strength of mainstream beliefs in society is closely related to the fate of a country and a nation. In particular, contemporary college students shoulder the important historical mission of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and their belief situation needs special attention, scientific analysis and educational guidance. Therefore, it is of great scientific significance to study the beliefs of contemporary college students.
First, the significance of college students to establish correct beliefs
What is faith? "Ci Hai" gives the definition of faith: faith is people's "extreme conviction and respect for a certain religion or a certain doctrine, and takes it as the criterion of action." Fundamentally speaking, belief is a unique mental and psychological phenomenon of human beings. It refers to people's belief and persistence in some conceptual systems such as world outlook, outlook on life and values, and it is the highest form of consciousness that controls and guides all other forms of consciousness.
From the personal value of college students, the lack of faith is like a boat lost in the vast sea, unable to find the other side of happiness, resulting in despair of "having a heart." From the perspective of national development, the lack of faith means the loss of national cohesion. How can we set the goal of * *? The Chinese nation is in the difficult transition of modernization. Without the support of humanistic spirit and firm belief and value pursuit, how can society be harmonious, how can the nation be revived and how can the country be rich and strong?
(A) the personal significance of college students to establish correct beliefs
College students are a group with their own uniqueness. From the age point of view, they have entered adolescence, with keen thinking and strong plasticity, which is a critical period for the establishment of faith; In terms of personal quality, they have a high level of knowledge and judgment, and are easy to learn, feel and accept new ideas and lifestyles. Their beliefs are in the transition from worship generalization to belief choice, and from low-level irrational beliefs to high-level rational beliefs. It is very important for college students to establish correct beliefs.
1. Faith is the strength and source of life. Guiding college students to establish correct beliefs is helpful to solve the problem of insufficient learning motivation of college students.
2. Faith is the spiritual pillar of life. Man's spiritual world is like a building. Without pillars, it will collapse. Establishing correct beliefs is conducive to cultivating college students' healthy mental outlook.
3. Establishing correct beliefs is a necessary condition for college students to become talents. Establishing correct beliefs is the need to cultivate college students' sound personality.
(B) the significance of establishing correct national and ethnic beliefs
/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, Liang Qichao, a native of China, wrote the passionate "On young chinese", shouting loudly that "young people are wise, the rich are rich, the strong are strong, the independent are independent, the free are free, the young are progressing, the young are better than Europe, and the young are better than the earth." Youth is the future of the country and the nation. Only by winning the youth can we win the future. Comrade Hu Jintao pointed out: "A far-sighted nation always pays attention to the youth; A far-sighted political party always regards youth as an important force to promote historical development and social progress. " College students establish correct beliefs and care about the fate of the country and the nation.
1. Establishing correct beliefs among college students is an inevitable requirement for building Socialism with Chinese characteristics. If we don't have a correct belief, our great cause of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics will deviate from the direction, and finally we won't be able to realize capitalism.
2. Establishing correct beliefs is an important means to resist the attempts of western hostile forces to "westernize" and "divide".
3. Establishing correct beliefs is a necessary guarantee to resist and oppose all kinds of non-scientific beliefs.
Second, the status quo of college students' beliefs and their reasons
(A) the status quo of college students' beliefs
Since the reform and opening up, especially at present, China is in a period of rapid social transformation with the further deepening of the reform and opening up and the socialist market economy. Due to the influence of various contradictions and conflicts in the process of reform and opening up and the establishment of the socialist market economic system, as well as the global information wave brought about by economic globalization and the influx of various foreign social thoughts, various new concepts and new things are constantly presented. The way of thinking of college students is still immature. Under the accelerated convergence, drift and impact of various ideas and values, their beliefs began to appear contradictions and confusion, and some college students' belief crisis also emerged.
The so-called "belief crisis" is not unique to China in the transitional period, but also exists in the western capitalist world. The "belief crisis" does not mean that it cannot be the lack of the dominant belief or the spirit of the times, but that people's attitude towards the original dominant belief has been shaken and weakened, thus inducing confusion or loss of social psychology. It should be pointed out that the belief mentality of contemporary college students is not only manifested in the parallel arrangement of various ideas, but also in the three-dimensional interleaving and superposition of traditional concepts, transitional concepts and western concepts from ancient times to the present. Such as the traditional "Taoism" and "Confucianism", the influence of Marxism since the May 4th Movement, the Marxist education after the founding of New China, and the western thoughts on religion, science and human rights.
According to the Survey Report on College Students' Quality of Life of Hebei University Youth Development Research Center, 66. 1% of college students believe in pragmatism. For example, answering "What are your ideals and pursuits?" 64.5% people chose "successful career and satisfied life", and only 1% people said they would "fight for * * * productism". When answering the question of "learning motivation", college students tend to choose "find a good job in the future", "repay their parents for their upbringing", "realize their own value" and "improve their ability and perfect their personality". Only 9.7% of them choose "serve the country". 37% people value "whether it is conducive to self-worth", 29.4% people value "economic income", 13.8% people think "professional counterpart" is more important, and only 8.3% people answer "the needs of the motherland".
The belief crisis of contemporary college students is manifested in the following aspects:
1. Mainstream beliefs are vague and marginalized. Some college students' spirit of dedication, collectivism and serving the people in the socialist ideological system has not received due attention and affirmation. They prefer individualism, pragmatism and liberalism in the west.
