First, morality has its unique essence.
Man is a gregarious animal. In social life, due to the needs of production and life, people have formed complex social relations. In order to ensure the stability and prosperity of society, people demand that the relationship between them be properly adjusted and personal behavior be restrained, which leads to the demand for morality. This tells us that morality is a historical category and people's moral mentality is historic, that is, people have different moral mentality in different historical periods.
Morality is the sum total of codes of conduct and norms that rely on public opinion and inner beliefs to adjust the relationship between people and between individuals and society. It is a social phenomenon, which is determined by a certain economic base and changes with the change of the economic base. Morality goes deep into people's psychology through public opinion, systematic education, traditional customs and rules and regulations, and forms people's ideas and emotions. So as to influence and restrict people's behavior and standardize social life. Morality is a unique phenomenon in human society and widely exists in all aspects of people's social life. Except for pure personal behavior unrelated to others, all personal behaviors that conflict with others will produce moral and moral problems. Spying into the essence of morality includes the following three aspects:
1. Morality comes from life and is a social consciousness determined by certain social and economic relations.
Social and economic relations determine the content and nature of morality. People's different positions and roles in social relations of production determine people's different activities and moral contents. All kinds of moral systems in history are derived from the interest relations determined by the social and economic relations at that time. At the same time, the change of social economic foundation will inevitably lead to the change and development of social morality. When the socio-economic foundation changes, the material benefits determined by it will inevitably change. And the moral norms as an adjustment of interest relations will also change. The different status of people in social and economic relations determines the class nature of morality. In class society, because people have different positions in different economic structures, different interest groups have formed, and this group is class. The different interests of each class lead to different moral concepts, norms and standards of each class, thus giving morality a distinct class brand.
2. Morality is a special normative system.
Moral norms are non-institutionalized norms. Although some moral norms are also stipulated in written form, they are different from political norms and legal norms. The latter is manifested in social political system and legal system. It is mainly a requirement accumulated by people in long-term life, which is reflected in people's personality and habits. However, moral norms are a manifestation of class consciousness, but their implementation is different from legal norms. They are mainly realized with the help of traditional habits, public opinion and inner beliefs, and are transformed into people's inner norms such as emotions, wills and beliefs through education and publicity.
3. Morality grasps the world with practical spirit.
Morality is a kind of spirit, its purpose is to guide people's behavior, and its content is to form people's correct behavior. Practicality is the essential feature that distinguishes morality from other ideologies. As a practical spirit, morality is a kind of value and an action to realize this value, and it is the unity of "knowing" and "doing". It not only lets people know the knowledge of dealing with people, but also trains people to consciously allow certain norms and rules to dominate their behavior. Furthermore, the adjustment of morality to social life is mainly achieved by evaluating the value of social life. Science grasps the world in the category of authenticity, art in the category of beauty and ugliness, and morality in the category of good and evil. Morality intervenes in social life by promoting good and restraining ugliness, regulates people's behavior, regulates various relationships, and pushes society from low to high.
Second, morality is of great significance to the growth of college students.
The ancients said, "Talent without virtue is not far away." This is because the direction and goal of any person's success are always closely related to the needs of society and the times. Without the direction of historical progress and the concept of benefiting mankind and contributing to society, human wisdom will be suppressed. If contemporary college students lack the heart to serve the socialist motherland and the ambition to achieve the four grand modernization goals, even if personal "fame and fortune" has a certain stimulating effect on people's intellectual development in a certain period of time, it will not last long and will not be stable. Such people will only be eliminated by society. Moral cultivation is the expression of certain moral principles and norms in people's thoughts and behaviors. It has social ideological orientation and shows some stable characteristics and tendencies of individuals. This is of great significance to the growth of our college students.
1. Moral quality restricts the growth direction of talents.
Talent is a historical category. Different historical periods, different social forms and different gay stages have different standards for talents. The socialist era requires talents to have high moral standards and the idea of serving the people wholeheartedly, otherwise they will not be qualified socialist talents. Strictly following the moral standards required by the socialist era and constantly strengthening self-cultivation are the only way to improve the moral level of talents. First of all, the times require talents to improve socialist moral quality. The construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics needs generations of talents who are loyal to Marxism-Leninism, and must be able to proceed from historical tasks and the requirements of the times. Be firm, establish the idea of serving the people wholeheartedly, learn and master the scientific skills of building socialism and serving the people, and have noble sentiments and interests, simple character and style. That is to say, under the socialist conditions, only according to the needs of the socialist cause can we college students make a difference based on the big family of socialism, give full play to our subjective initiative and make contributions to the socialist cause on the road of growth. Therefore, we should consciously obey the requirements of the times and strive to improve our moral quality. Secondly, strengthening ideological and moral literacy is the foundation of success. Everyone's behavior is dominated by certain political views. Without a correct political stance and attitude, a correct outlook on life and morality, there will be no solid ideological foundation, and talents will not thrive under the guidance of correct ideas. Strengthening moral literacy is mainly to standardize the moral principles and norms of materialism as their own moral quality and good habits, which requires us college students to constantly transform the subjective world while transforming the objective world, and gradually establish the proletarian outlook on life, world outlook and morality.
2. Noble moral sentiment is the potential power to stimulate the growth of talents.
Marxist materialist dialectics tells us that internal cause is the basis of change, external cause is the condition of change, and external cause works through internal cause. The internal factors of talent growth refer to the internal conditions including ideological, intellectual, physical and basic psychological qualities, which together constitute the potential strength of talent growth. Among these potential forces, ideology and morality play a leading role. First of all, good moral quality is the driving force to exert the subjective initiative of talents. Although people's ways of becoming talents are different due to different life experiences, environments and conditions. But one thing is the same, that is, the growth of talents can not be separated from their own subjective efforts. Under the same circumstances, the amount of subjective efforts determines whether an individual can become a success. Good moral quality can stimulate people's subjective efforts, inspire us to break through the important difficulties of becoming talents, enhance our confidence and courage to overcome difficulties, and give full play to the consciousness of talent growth. Only by combining ability and political integrity can we give full play to the advantages of talents. Secondly, good moral quality is the driving force to make the knowledge and intelligent structure of talents reach the best state, and engaging in creative labor is the basic feature of talents, while the intelligent structure of talents is the basic factor to engage in creative labor. The best state of intelligent structure is to have solid Marxist basic theory and scientific and cultural knowledge. Perseverance, enterprising spirit and innovative ability, skilled basic skills and high knowledge and ability. And all this is inseparable from good moral literacy. In real life, some teenagers are brilliant, some middle-aged people show their talents, and some are late bloomers. Why are some people brilliant and others mediocre? This is actually because the internal motivation of morality is different.

The moral quality of contemporary college students is not only related to the moral quality of a generation of college students, but also affects a whole generation of young people. College students are the "darlings" among young people, and their moral values are widely concerned and imitated by social youth, which is of special significance to the construction of socialist spiritual civilization. With the development of 2 1 century history, knowledge economy will become the main feature of our times. Under the condition of knowledge economy, economic exchanges, information exchange and talent transfer between countries are getting closer and closer, and the requirements for talents are getting higher and higher. These characteristics of knowledge economy will inevitably inject new connotations into people's moral concepts. Now our moral quality is in the process of forming. Under the new historical conditions, we should become a generation of college students with ideals and morality through self-cultivation under the guidance of socialist morality and socialist moral education.
