Social hotspots can reflect the latest changes in the current society and have strong timeliness, which is a social focus issue that the broad masses are generally concerned about. At present, China is in a critical period of comprehensively deepening reform. The collision between the old and new systems has spawned various contradictions with the characteristics of the times, and there are many outstanding problems to be solved, such as anti-corruption, real estate policy, medical reform, giving birth to a second child and so on. This is related to the interests of every member of society, reflects the current national conditions to a certain extent, and is very easy to become a social hot spot.
(2) Social hotspots are widespread.
Social hotspots can arouse the general concern of most members of society. When the attention of social hotspots reaches a certain level, public opinion will be formed, and then a kind of social psychology will be formed, which will be expressed in the form of social psychological atmosphere, that is, the social emotions of ordinary people present in front of us. Therefore, in real life, people will show the same feelings and experiences, empathize with some social hot spots, resulting in * * *. Even imagine yourself as one of the characters. For example, an actor's divorce case once became a hot topic in society, and audience messages exploded on major portals, showing the universality of concern.
(C) Social hotspots are complex
Judging from the causes of social hotspots, they are multiple and complicated. Income gap, environmental protection, aging, scientific and technological innovation, social morality, rule of law, etc. May be the cause of social hotspots; From the perspective of social hotspots, they include economy, politics, culture, people's livelihood and natural events. It is the fusion of social events with different attributes; The contents of social hotspots are often overlapping, and the same social hotspot may be both an economic issue and a livelihood issue. Even natural events may be related to political and diplomatic issues; The multi-dimensional perspective of paying attention to social hot spots has a strong subjective color. People often start from their own reality and have different opinions, so it is difficult to reach an understanding.
(4) Social hotspots can be guided.
In the new media era, the speed of information dissemination is getting faster and faster, and it is no longer limited by regions and media. But in reality, face-to-face communication between people is less and less, so people's evaluation of social hotspots is easily influenced by the information they receive, and the direction of public opinion is very easy to be guided. As Gustav said, "the intelligence of a group is always lower than that of an isolated individual, but judging from the feelings and actions inspired by it, the group can perform better or worse than the individual, depending on the environment." Everything depends on the nature of the hint accepted by the group. "
Therefore, when social hot spots appear, we should put the rational views that meet the requirements of social superstructure in front of the public, rather than let them choose from a variety of information. The correct guidance of social hotspots can play a positive role, thus promoting positive energy; On the contrary, it will have a negative impact on the formation of social public order and good customs, and even affect the perfection of democracy and the rule of law and social stability.
Second, the social hotspots that college students pay attention to
(1) Major events at home and abroad
College students pay more attention to international and domestic events, such as Libyan refugees, the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and the confrontation between China and India. China pays more attention to anti-corruption and real estate policies. While paying attention to major events at home and abroad, college students will also express their views and opinions, which shows that they have gradually matured and they have begun to have a sense of home and country and a sense of social mission.
reform in education
In the 30-year history of China's reform and opening-up, education reform has attracted much attention and been controversial. Campus is what college students are most familiar with, so education reform has always been a social hot spot that college students pay attention to, from nine-year compulsory education, college entrance examination reform to college enrollment expansion and so on. Especially in the reform of university education, college students live on campus, and minor changes in the school will also attract their attention. They are very sensitive to reforms that have a direct relationship or influence on them, such as education fees, academic fraud, and the disconnection between classroom teaching and social practice. While paying attention to these hot spots, college students will continue to think and discuss these issues and put forward reasonable suggestions to provide reference for China's education reform.
(3) Ethical issues
Since the reform and opening up, China has made great achievements in politics, economy and diplomacy, but some negative thoughts are also spreading, such as moral decline, money worship and selfishness, which have brought confusion and confusion to simple-minded college students, such as the problem of giving up seats in public transportation and the problem that the elderly can't afford to help them. Many students are very concerned about these problems, and the traditional education of helping others and respecting the elderly and caring for the young has encountered difficulties. Of course, college students also pay attention to social hotspots that spread positive energy, such as those who "touched China" and the winners of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, and they are full of admiration for these people.
