Why do military problems in the examination questions of national civil servants cause heated discussion? Is the military problem a deviation problem, a difficult problem or a strange problem? How to establish national defense concept and enhance national defense awareness? This week, "Chen Hu Point Soldiers" pays attention to the controversy caused by the military examination questions of the national civil service examination with you.
This week, Obama finally unveiled his new strategy for Afghanistan. However, the attention of netizens was attracted by another news: military-related questions appeared in the just-concluded national civil service exam, and the candidates reacted differently, and netizens also launched a heated discussion.
So far, the focus of hot discussion has focused on two aspects: First, some people think that there are such military questions in the civil service examination, which are off-topic, strange questions and difficult problems, so that some candidates cry. What is the significance of this for the selection of civil servants? Why can't the civil service selection examination be defined in some aspects directly related to the major? Another focus of controversy is that everyone is lamenting the indifference of national defense concept and the lack of national defense consciousness in today's society.
Military examination questions are unbiased, not difficult and not strange.
First of all, what is the definition of "civil servant"? At present, the definition of civil servants we can find is as follows: China national civil servants refer to those who exercise state administrative power and perform state official duties in the government of People's Republic of China (PRC) (PRC). Generally speaking, civil servants are the maintainers and operators of state machines.
As the maintainer and operator of the state machine, what kind of knowledge reserves do civil servants need?
As we know, the most involved fields in the operation of state machinery are politics, economy, diplomacy and military affairs. Obviously, the content of national defense and military affairs is an important part in the operation of the state machine. Then, as a person who exercises state administrative rights and performs state official duties in the government, he will also involve a lot of political, economic, diplomatic, military and national defense-related contents in his daily work. Therefore, knowledge about national defense and military affairs should be the most basic knowledge reserve of national civil servants. In the national civil service examination, the content of national defense and military affairs is not only off-topic, strange and difficult, but also compulsory. We should feel happy and gratified that these contents appear in our civil service examination and are a sign of the continuous improvement of civil service selection in our country.
The status quo of indifference and lack of national defense awareness needs to be changed.
Many netizens are lamenting that the phenomenon of indifference and lack of national defense awareness in today's society is more serious. This should be said to be a real social phenomenon.
After reading this question about the military content in the civil service examination, you will find that anyone with a little military knowledge will find this question quite simple. Why didn't you know whether J-10 was a domestic fighter just after the military parade on the 60th anniversary of the National Day? This phenomenon reflects a serious problem facing the society today.
In fact, the indifference of national defense concept and the lack of national defense consciousness are only appearances. The question is what ways, methods and means we should use to strengthen the establishment of national defense concepts and strengthen the dissemination of national defense knowledge to reverse this phenomenon.
National defense education needs powerful means to ensure it.
From the experience of foreign countries, national defense education is guaranteed to be implemented through some means and processes. In many foreign countries, including some populous countries, a large part of their school-age youth have to go through the process of military service, and this process itself is a process of strengthening their national defense concepts and knowledge.
China implements the compulsory military service system, that is, every citizen of school age has the obligation and responsibility to perform military service. However, due to the large population base in China, the number of troops is very small relative to the population base. As a result, a large number of school-age people actually have no life experience of military service.
National defense education needs positive social orientation.
When it comes to national defense education, we cannot but talk about social orientation.
In today's social orientation, where will our elite talents flow? How attractive is the national defense field to social elites? How many elites can enter the army and national defense, a vital field involving national security?
I remember 10 years ago, I once gave a lecture to a group of international students. One of the Pakistani officers told me that in their country, professional soldiers are all made up of social elites.
He told me such an example:
All officers of the Pakistan Navy have graduated from one of their naval academies, and the entry threshold for applying for this naval academy is quite high. First of all, the applicant must obtain the recommendation letter from the member of parliament where he lives, and ensure that there is no problem with his character before he is eligible to register; Then we have to go through a rigorous examination and screening. At that time, the college only recruited more than 50 students a year, and more than 2,000 people qualified to take the exam.
As can be seen from this example, Pakistan's social orientation at that time was to flow the most elite talents to the military and national defense fields.
You may still have a lot of vague understanding about the importance of national defense education. In fact, our ancestors clearly told us thousands of years ago that soldiers, state affairs, places of life and death, and ways of survival must be observed.
