(A) the lack of unity and cooperation among college students.
Generally speaking, contemporary college students love the motherland and people, have lofty ideals, are full of exploration spirit, are willing to accept new things and pay attention to the meaning and value of life. However, some students can't correctly handle the relationship between individual, collective and national interests, and their collective consciousness is weak and they lack the spirit of unity and cooperation. Central the State Council 16 made an objective evaluation of the ideological and political situation of college students. While fully affirming that the mainstream of college students is positive and healthy, it also points out eight shortcomings of college students themselves, including poor sense of unity and cooperation. Specifically, it is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
1. Some students have a weak collective consciousness, only look at problems from their own perspective, emphasize the maximization of personal value, and lack a deep understanding of collective goals; When dealing with things, we ignore the interests of others and the collective, are unwilling to worry about and contribute to collective things, and are indifferent to collective honor, which leads to weak cohesion in classes and dormitories. 2. Lack of awareness of observing collective norms. "All collectives, in a word, can't escape from the form of discipline", [2] but among college students, there are many students who can't ban and abide by the collective organizational principles, discipline principles and various rules and regulations. 3. Students can't be United and friendly, tolerant of each other, overemphasize competition, neglect cooperation, lack enthusiasm for mutual assistance, and the communication relationship is too indifferent, sometimes even causing interpersonal tension. The tendency of attaching importance to personal development and neglecting social cooperation is spreading. In the process of growth and development, college students pay more attention to their own personality, gradually shift from dependence to independence, like to go their own way, get used to their own struggle, lack the sense of cooperation with society and others, and lack the responsible attitude towards their social obligations.
(B) Analysis of the reasons for the lack of unity and cooperation among college students
1. The current education system is not enough to cultivate the spirit of unity and cooperation among college students.
Contemporary college students have been growing up in the environment of exam-oriented education. At present, college education pays too much attention to the study of professional skills and knowledge, and emphasizes the development of students' personal ability and personality, which relaxes the cultivation of college students' collective consciousness and cooperative spirit to some extent. At the same time, the contents of school collectivism, unity and cooperation education are lack of pertinence and timeliness, empty preaching and mere formality, which can not stimulate college students' enthusiasm for learning, thus failing to effectively guide them to establish correct collectivism concepts and form good habits of unity and cooperation.
2. "I-centered" family environment
Among contemporary college students, the only child accounts for a considerable proportion, and receives more care in the process of growing up, which makes students self-centered in small family groups, gradually taking others' protection and care for themselves for granted, paying only attention to their own needs and ignoring the existence of others, paying only attention to taking, not paying, and basically being at the center of the family, which often makes their self-centered consciousness swell and lacks the initiative of unity and cooperation with others.
3. Misleading of social undesirable phenomena
Our society is in the transitional period between the old and new economic systems, and the superstructure has undergone profound changes, which have had a positive and negative impact on the thoughts of contemporary college students. Some college students are influenced or even corroded by western ideological trends and some bad social atmosphere with individualism, personal struggle and self-realization, and many extreme individualistic values are integrated into their thoughts and concepts. They pay too much attention to the realization of personal value, do everything that is beneficial to them, lack the spirit of unity and cooperation and sense of social responsibility, and even some students do behaviors that harm the interests of society and the collective.
4. College students' own one-sided understanding of the relationship between competition and cooperation
With the deepening of China's reform and opening up and the establishment of the socialist market economic system, competition and cooperation have become one of the most common phenomena in modern interpersonal relationships. Study and life are full of competition, coupled with the increasingly prominent employment problem. Under the guidance of utilitarianism, students often place too much emphasis on and rely on competition in dealing with the issues of competition and cooperation, ignoring the competition in cooperation and the formation of competitive advantage and win-win situation in cooperation.
Second, social practice is an effective way to cultivate college students' spirit of unity and cooperation.
The lack of unity and cooperation among college students has put forward new work goals for higher education workers. In order to improve this situation, higher education workers should actively explore ways and means to cultivate college students' spirit of unity and cooperation. Social practice is an important measure to strengthen and improve college students' ideological and political education under the new situation, and an important platform for college students to use their knowledge, display their talents and serve the society. Through social practice activities, guide young students to understand the society, understand the national conditions, and firmly believe in taking the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics; Guide students to enhance their sense of responsibility and mission, establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values, and improve their comprehensive quality. At the same time, the characteristics of social practice, such as practicality, sociality, education and teamwork, have become an effective way to cultivate college students' collective consciousness and spirit of unity and cooperation.
