Second, honesty is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. "Benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and faithfulness" are the five permanent members of Confucianism, and "faithfulness" is one of them. The "five permanent members" run through the whole process of China's ethical development and are important values of our traditional culture in China. "Faith" requires a person to be responsible for what he has said and done, which is the foundation of being a man.
Thirdly, in China, we have many old sayings about honesty, such as "People who don't believe, don't know what they can do." "If you don't believe it, you can't stand it." "People can't stand without faith." "Disaster is greater than no faith." Wait, these are all words of wisdom; There are many stories about practicing honesty in our Chinese nation, such as "I participated in killing pigs to show honesty", "I forgave my friends and kept my promise", "I promised you money" and "Shang Yang built trees to win trust", all of which show that Chinese people attach great importance to honesty.
Fourth, there is a serious lack of honesty in today's society. For example, some people do not keep their promises in interpersonal communication; Some industries lack basic credibility in their business activities; Some management departments are not loyal to their duties in the process of performing their duties. It should be said that everyone is dissatisfied with these social unhealthy phenomena and has a desire to improve the status quo.
5. What are the main reasons for the lack of honesty? I think the root cause is the lack of education. With the continuous development of the market economy, we need to pursue growing material benefits. At the same time, bad habits such as money worship, utilitarianism and pragmatism will inevitably erode people's hearts and constantly impact all levels of social life. Some people and enterprises can do whatever it takes to make money. Materialism, lack of moral education, people gradually lost themselves. The phenomena of breaking promises, breaking laws, making fakes and cheating are getting worse and worse, which has ruined the social atmosphere and infringed on the healthy body of society.
6. Honesty is the foundation of morality. How to build and restore social credit system in an all-round way? I think the first government should improve the formulation and strong implementation of the rules of good faith, build a good faith government, and play an active guiding role in promoting the establishment of a social good faith system; Second, we should strengthen publicity and education in variety, and the news media should persist in creating a social atmosphere of integrity and constantly promote positive energy; Third, to be honest and trustworthy, we should start from ourselves and integrate knowledge with practice. We should first ask ourselves to be honest and trustworthy. Everyone wants to gain the trust of others. I believe that everyone's heart is environmentally friendly, and integrity will definitely come to us.
