Under the tide of socialist market economy, officers and men's ideas, values, moral norms and behavior patterns have been impacted and influenced to varying degrees, and their thoughts have shown a diversified trend, which is embodied in the following three aspects:
First, there are many people who want to return. The planned economy system has changed to the socialist market economy system, and the mode of economic growth has changed from extensive to intensive, further adjusting the personal interest relationship. On the one hand, the gradual adjustment of the local government's policy on retired soldiers, the implementation of the civil service system and the streamlining of institutions have made the risk of soldiers' "second employment" greater than in previous years, which has invisibly enhanced the sense of crisis of officers and men. On the other hand, with the development of market economy, the task of fire control is becoming increasingly heavy, and the work pressure is further increased, which has prompted some cadres to have the idea of "leaving late is better than leaving early".
Second, "hot knowledge" is heating up. As the fire-fighting major belongs to the marginal discipline, once the fire officers and soldiers retire from active service, this skill may become useless. This has reduced the enthusiasm of some officers and men to learn fire fighting business, resulting in the phenomenon of "cold arms". Under the influence of the local ideological trend of "competition for posts, entrepreneurship and development of ability", officers and men have a high voice and act quickly to improve their own quality, mainly in the fields of "practical technology fever", "diploma fever" and "business fever". Some officers and men take part in correspondence study in military academies and local party schools, and even go to local universities for further study at their own expense. There are also some officers and men who are "in the police camp, with their hearts in the market". They use holidays to visit relatives and friends, or go to the sea by themselves, or make suggestions for relatives and friends, and complete their "entrepreneurial dreams" in different ways. The existence of the problem of seeking knowledge has brought different degrees of influence to the daily management and combat readiness of the army.
Third, the spirit of hard work and dedication is poor. Most of the officers and men of the public security fire brigade are stationed in large and medium-sized cities. Outside the camp, there is a colorful world, while inside the camp, it is monotonous and barren. Surrounded by the macro-environment, the principles of material interests such as equivalent exchange, power and money transaction, and paying attention to material interests have penetrated into all aspects of social life. As a law enforcement department, the fire brigade directly deals with all aspects of society, and all kinds of unhealthy thoughts and lifestyles impact the minds of officers and men. The contrast between inside and outside has changed the thinking mode, service attitude, life pursuit and moral sentiment of some officers and men, from focusing on personal progress in the past to focusing on material interests. Subsequently, some cadres are easily driven by material interests in advancing and retreating, staying or staying, and some soldiers are also branded with the concept of material interests, thus affecting the professionalism and sense of responsibility of officers and men.
Under the new situation, people's ideological composition is no longer as simple as "good or bad" and "public or private" as in the past, and the ideological education of officers and men cannot solve the problem by sacrificing a few and organizing a few activities as in the past. Practice tells us that there is no political education without market economy. We can only use market economy consciousness and market concept to broaden our educational horizons, enrich our educational contents, improve our educational methods and improve our educational efficiency. The key is to affirm health, guide and educate unhealthy people, which is the responsibility and obligation of our ideological and political workers. How to better strengthen ideological and political education and ensure that fire officers and soldiers are spotless in front of the feast, the author believes that we should focus on the following aspects:
First, we should persist in arming officers and men with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory. Building Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory is the scientific basis for guiding officers and men to accept and understand the reform and opening up. To develop the socialist market economy is to liberate and develop the productive forces and let some people get rich first. Soldiers, as defenders of national interests, should look at the adjustment of interests from the overall situation of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and have a broad mind of "preferring personal losses and ensuring the smooth progress of national reform and opening up". Building Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory is a powerful weapon to guide officers and men to resist the erosion of decadent cultural thoughts, establish a correct pursuit of life and value orientation, consciously resist corruption and change, and serve with peace of mind. Therefore, the study and construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory should be regarded as the central content of political education, implemented in every officer and soldier, and the theoretical study results should be transformed into officers and soldiers' high sense of professionalism and responsibility.
The second is to improve the quality of cadres. Cadres are the leading geese and vanguard of the overall construction of the army, and their political level and professional quality are related to the overall situation of the army construction. Therefore, to grasp team building, we must start with the ideological basis of cadres, enhance their professionalism and sense of responsibility, and stimulate their enthusiasm for work. Through the intensive education of cadres, officers and men can understand that they must bear in mind the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, take brave sacrifice and dedication as the main theme of their lives, encourage cadres to love and devote themselves to fire fighting, practice their skills hard, protect the lives and property of the country and the people, shout out that "a soldier is not qualified to practice martial arts, but he is not proficient in martial arts", always pay attention to the interests of the country and the people, carry forward fine traditions, and safeguard the politics of the people's army.
The third is to take effective measures to reduce the "post-tension" of officers and men. While doing a good job in political education, we should take improving the working and living conditions of officers and men as an important part of ideological work under the new situation. Think about what the officers and men think, worry about what the officers and men are in a hurry, concentrate financial and material resources, sincerely solve practical problems, do practical things and do good things for the officers and men, and strive to create a good environment of "keeping people in mind". To this end, we must first improve our working and living conditions. Leaders should often talk to cadres to understand their practical difficulties, such as housing, family work, children's enrollment, nursery and so on. , and solve them to the maximum extent; For soldiers, while trying to improve food conditions, accommodation conditions and duty conditions, we should pay attention to improving cultural and recreational conditions to meet the needs of soldiers with rich and healthy cultural and sports activities. Secondly, we should pay attention to solving the hot issues of officers and men seeking knowledge and becoming talents. As the saying goes: "Iron barracks are flowing soldiers." Both cadres and soldiers have the problem of reemployment. In view of the acceleration of the reform of local economic system, cadre and personnel system and labor and employment system, the army should give full play to the role of "big school", let officers and men improve their skills of serving the society as much as possible during their service, support cadres' on-the-job study, strengthen the training of military and civilian personnel, and alleviate the sense of crisis of re-employment of officers and men.
