First of all, when teaching this course well, it must have a unique beginning, which leads to the importance of this course, the importance of cultivating new people with four qualities, the importance of the all-round development of morality, intelligence and physical fitness, and the importance of doing things. The importance of college students with both ability and political integrity. I started by analyzing the relationship between "morality and talent".

To talk about this issue, you can use some quotes from famous people, or you can also combine it with some typical examples. The purpose is to make students fully realize the importance of virtue, and not only abide by the law in their future life, but also practice it everywhere. Practice virtue.

When I talk about this issue I always start with a letter. Whenever new students arrive, one of the first lessons I teach is to read this letter to the students. This is a true story.

There is an example: a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp became the principal of a middle school in the United States. Whenever a new teacher comes to the school to report, he will give the new teacher a letter that reads: "Dear teacher, I am a survivor of the concentration camp. I saw with my own eyes something that humans should not see: poisonous gas." Rooms were built by highly educated engineers; children were poisoned by knowledgeable doctors; young children were killed by poorly trained nurses; women and babies were shot by people with a high school or college education. Seeing all this, I wondered: what is education? For what purpose? My request is: Please help students become human beings. Your efforts should never be used to create knowledgeable monsters, versatile psychopaths, and highly educated butchers. The ability to read, write, and arithmetic has value only if the child has human nature." This tortured principal, who struggled from the brink of death, almost shouted the truth of education with his life: "Only if our children can be educated. The ability to read, write and arithmetic has value only when you are human. ”

The mission of our education, especially our course, is to help our students become human beings. Our education must not only cultivate a person's intelligence, but more importantly, cultivate a person's humanity and virtue. Otherwise, it will cultivate a dangerous thing for society. As Roosevelt said, cultivating a person's intelligence does not cultivate his virtue. , which is tantamount to creating a threatening existence for society. (Example: Ma Jiajue, etc.)

Dante: Morality can often fill the defects of wisdom, but wisdom can never fill the defects of morality.

Many people in ancient China also made incisive summaries on this principle, such as Confucius’ theory of the gentleman and the villain theory, Xunzi’s theory of talent standards, and Sima Guang’s work on the relationship between virtue and talent. He made a penetrating discussion: "Those who are more virtuous than their talents are called gentlemen, and those whose talents are more virtuous are called villains. ------Since ancient times, the troubled ministers of the country and the losers of the family have more talents but insufficient virtues. (There are also Many famous quotes)

This question is to clarify the importance of "morality" and then introduce the topic and introduce our course.

Introduction: Cherish college life and open up a new realm<. /p>

The introduction*** is divided into four sections: adapting to the new stage of life, shouldering the new historical mission, learning and practicing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, and the "Basics" course has its characteristics and functions.

The introduction. The key points, difficulties and innovations are the third section "Learning and Practicing the Socialist Concept of Honor and Disgrace"

The Socialist Concept of Honor and Disgrace is the leadership and main line of this book

Why "The Socialist Concept of Honor and Disgrace". "Is it the leadership and main line of this book?" It can be understood from the following four points:

(1) This is due to the fact that the nature of this course is consistent with the spiritual essence of the socialist concept of honor and disgrace.

p>

A. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace is the psychological standard for people's self-evaluation and social evaluation. Knowing honor and disgrace is the foundation of a person's conduct in the world, a prerequisite for the formation of excellent personal qualities, and a prerequisite for cultivating excellent moral qualities.

B. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace guides people to elevate specific individual honor and disgrace events and feelings of honor and disgrace to the level of the concept of honor and disgrace, which is conducive to the cultivation of college students' outlook on life, values, ethics, and the rule of law. President Hu Jintao. The Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces proposed by the secretary vividly embody the above four concepts and run through the requirements of patriotism, service to the people, collectivism, socialism, scientific spirit, honesty and trustworthiness, and compliance with laws and regulations.

C. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace embodies the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, the national spirit, the spirit of the times, and the scientific spirit; embodies the governance strategy that combines governing the country according to law with governing the country by virtue; embodies the dominant value orientation of socialism; it is The fundamental criterion for people's behavioral value judgments.

It can be seen that the requirements of the socialist concept of honor and disgrace are the basic requirements of the "Basic" course, and the two are consistent in the reform and development of our country. During the critical period, Comrade Hu Jintao focused on advancing the cause of the party and the country, and from the strategic perspective of implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development and building a socialist harmonious society, he proposed the socialist concept of honor and disgrace with the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as the main content. "Eight Honors" is an incisive summary of socialist ethics from an affirmative perspective. It adapts to the new changes in my country's economic and social development, and embodies the communist ideal of building socialism with Chinese characteristics and the correct world view and life. concepts, values ??(including the concept of the rule of law); among them, the "eight shames" are a profound interpretation of socialist moral norms from a negative aspect. It cuts to the chase and exposes various social ugliness.

The socialist concept of honor and disgrace, with the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as its main content, reflects the inherent requirements of the development of the socialist market economy. It not only reflects the spirit of the times and has the characteristics of the times; it also inherits the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and has national characteristics. At the same time, it also embodies the spirit of the rule of law, realizes the advancement of socialist moral norms with the times, and the complementarity of the rule of morality and the rule of law.

(2) The socialist concept of honor and disgrace is a new summary of socialist ideological and moral norms and legal norms.

It embodies the essential requirements of socialist moral norms

A. Adapted to the objective requirements of my country’s economic and social development in the new century and new stage

Since the reform and opening up and the development of the socialist market economy, the social and economic components, organizational forms, employment methods, interest relationships and distribution methods have become increasingly diverse. Diversification leads to the diversification of people's thoughts, morals, and values, causing the social ideological field to present a complex situation in which various ideas emerge in large numbers and coexist in diversity, and various social trends of thought are intertwined and stirred up with each other. At the same time, the shortcomings of the market economy itself can easily induce money worship, hedonism and extreme individualism. Under the influence of various factors, problems of this kind have arisen in the ideological and moral fields: unclear right from wrong, indistinguishability between beauty and ugliness, indifference between honor and disgrace, neglect of duty for profit, deception and fraud, which have become a public nuisance to society, and corruption phenomena such as abusing power for personal gain and trading power for money. happens; etc. The existence of these problems undermines social harmony and stability and hinders the healthy development of the economy and society.

In the face of new changes and new situations in society, there is an urgent need to form healthy, beneficial and positive socialist ethics that are compatible with the requirements of economic and social development. In the face of new situations and new problems emerging in the field of moral construction, there is an urgent need to further strengthen socialist ideological and moral construction and strengthen socialist ethics education focusing on honesty and trustworthiness, so as to form a good social moral trend, maintain market order, and promote fairness. compete.

B. Realizing the advancement of socialist moral norms with the times

Since the founding of New China, our understanding of socialist moral norms has gone through a process of gradual deepening. Article 42 of the "Unified Program of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference" adopted at the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in September 1949 stipulates "love the motherland, love the people, love labor, love science, and love the public." The provision of "protecting property and property" is a moral requirement for all citizens of the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China. (Old "Five Loves")

In December 1982, Article 24 of the "Constitution of the People's Republic of China" passed at the fifth session of the Fifth National People's Congress included " The "Five Loves" were adjusted to "love the motherland, love the people, love labor, love science and love socialism". (New Five Loves)

In October 1996, the "Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Several Important Issues Concerning Strengthening the Construction of Socialist Spiritual Civilization" passed by the Sixth Plenary Session of the Fourteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China specified "the "Serving the people" as the core of socialist ideological and moral construction, taking collectivism as the principle of socialist morality, elevating "five loves" to the basic requirements of socialist morality, and focusing on the "three major social fields" (social morality, family virtues) , professional ethics) were systematically discussed, and the overall structure of the socialist moral system was relatively clearly outlined.

In October 2001, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China promulgated and implemented the "Implementation Outline for Citizen Morality Construction", which further summarized the basic moral norms of citizens as "patriotism and law-abiding, courtesy and integrity, unity and friendliness, diligence, thrift and self-reliance, Dedication and dedication" further enriched and expanded the content of socialist ethics.

The socialist concept of honor and disgrace, with the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as its main content, inherits our party's understanding of socialist moral norms, creatively combines the requirements of the national spirit and the spirit of the times, and The core, principles, basic requirements and norms of socialist ethics are combined to provide a high-level summary of the content of socialist ethics. "Be proud of loving the motherland and be ashamed of harming the motherland", "Be proud of serving the people and be ashamed of betraying the people", "Be proud of advocating science and be ashamed of ignorance", "Be proud of hard work and be ashamed of ignorance". "It is a shame to enjoy leisure and hate work". These "Four Honors and Four Shames" not only inherit the basic requirements of the "Five Loves", but also give them a distinctive connotation of the times, vividly reflecting the outlook on life values ??of serving the people and the value orientation of collectivism. "Be proud of solidarity and mutual assistance, and be ashamed of benefiting yourself at the expense of others." "Be proud of being honest and trustworthy, and be ashamed of forgetting one's integrity when you see benefits." "Be proud of obeying the law and be ashamed of breaking the law." These "three honors and three "Shame" closely combines the focus of moral construction and issues that need to be solved urgently, embodying the principles of respecting individual legitimate rights and interests and assuming social responsibilities, focusing on benefits and coordinating social justice, emphasizing the importance of family life, professional life, and social responsibility. *Basic rules that citizens should follow in life. "Be proud of hard work and be ashamed of arrogance and extravagance" adheres to the unity of the Chinese national spirit and the spirit of the times, and enriches and improves socialist moral norms. The promulgation of the socialist concept of honor and disgrace with the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as its main content marks that our party's understanding of the laws of socialist ideological and moral construction has reached a new height.

(3) Inheriting and developing the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation

The Chinese nation is a great nation with a long history and fine moral traditions.

The socialist concept of honor and disgrace, with the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as its main content, not only reflects the spirit of the times and has the characteristics of the times; it also inherits the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and has the national characteristics.

In the history of ancient Chinese traditional morality, the Confucian moral norm system with "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness" as the basic moral requirements has long been in a dominant position. It embodies the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. , has had a huge impact on social life for more than two thousand years. The so-called "benevolence" refers to the heart of loving others, and a benevolent person loves others. As a moral norm, "benevolence" requires people to treat others with benevolence. People should care for each other and help each other to form harmonious interpersonal relationships that love each other. The so-called "righteousness" refers to what is right, should and appropriate. As a moral norm, "righteousness" emphasizes that individuals should assume responsibilities and obligations to others and society, requires people to establish the value goals they pursue based on moral obligations, and adheres to "righteousness first" and "righteousness first" when dealing with the relationship between righteousness and benefit. "Righteousness is the highest priority" and "righteousness is used to control profit". When life and righteousness conflict and cannot be achieved at the same time, be brave enough to sacrifice life for righteousness. The so-called "ritual" refers to etiquette, ritual systems and etiquette principles. As a moral norm, "ritual" is a specific behavioral pattern required by the moral requirements of "benevolence" and "righteousness". It requires that all people's words and deeds must comply with etiquette and perform their duties with peace of mind and faithfulness. The so-called "faithfulness" means keeping promises and not cheating in deeds. As a moral norm, "faith" requires people to be truthful in interpersonal interactions and not to deceive others or themselves. The so-called "wisdom" refers to knowledge and rationality. As the "wisdom" of moral norms, it is the understanding and recognition of moral norms such as "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and trustworthiness". It requires people to master moral knowledge, enhance moral rationality, and have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, good and evil.

The moral code system of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness" contains the basic principles of life that transcend the times and is a precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation. Of course, the ancient Chinese Confucian moral code system with "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness" as its core content was formed in the long-term feudal society and served to maintain the feudal social order. It inevitably contains centralized authoritarianism, Foolish loyalty, foolish filial piety, male superiority and inferiority to women, etc. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace, with the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as its main content, inherits the reasonable core of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness", abandons its feudal dross, and combines the characteristics of the times with the development of my country's economic and social development. Reality requires development and innovation, so that my country's socialist ethics have a strong national character and historical inheritance, showing a distinctive Chinese style and Chinese style.

(4) The socialist concept of honor and disgrace is the fundamental requirement for improving the overall quality of the Chinese nation

The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation requires hundreds of millions of people to achieve long-term and hard work. The overall quality of the Chinese nation is related to the success or failure of the socialist modernization drive and the rise and fall of the Chinese nation. Vigorously advocating socialist and communist ethics in the whole society, educating and guiding the cadres and the masses to consciously practice socialist ethics, and continuously improving the quality of the entire Chinese nation are the fundamental requirements of socialist ethics and the continuous creation of Chinese characteristics A new situation in the socialist cause and an important guarantee for promoting socialist self-improvement and development.

The "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" closely combine moral norms with people's comprehensive quality, closely combine ideological and moral quality with social moral evaluation, and clearly point out what is right and what is wrong. What can be done and what cannot be done, what is noble and what is despicable, what must be promoted and what is resolutely opposed, are all important for motivating the broad masses of cadres and the masses to highly identify with them in thought and consciously fulfill them in practice. The requirements of socialist ethics and becoming high-quality socialist builders have important guiding significance.

For the majority of citizens, we must adhere to the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, consciously start from ourselves, work diligently in our posts, serve the people and contribute to society through various forms, and play an important role in social production and life. Correctly handle the relationship between national interests, collective interests and personal interests, correctly handle the relationship between individuals and others, rights and obligations, competition and collaboration, economic benefits and social benefits, and carry forward the spirit of mutual help, solidarity and friendship, and helping others. Only with the spirit of collectivism can we become a promoter of the formation of good social customs and a qualified builder of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

It is particularly important to educate young people on the socialist concept of honor and disgrace. Young people are the future of the motherland and the hope of the nation. Only by strengthening the education of young people on the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, helping them improve their ability to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, civilization and ignorance, and guiding them to do things that are honorable and refuse to do things that are humiliating, can we make them They have developed the fine qualities of loving the motherland, serving the people, advocating science, working hard, uniting and helping each other, being honest and trustworthy, abiding by laws and regulations, and working hard, and have grown into new socialist "four haves" in the new era, thereby ensuring the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics There are successors. (Written by Qian Tao, People's Daily)

Section 1 Ideals and Beliefs and the Growth of College Students

This section must first clarify several concepts: ideals, beliefs, beliefs, and ideals and beliefs. Then let’s talk about the role of ideals and beliefs.

1. The meaning and characteristics of ideals and beliefs

(1) The meaning and characteristics of ideals

Ideals: As a kind of social consciousness and spiritual phenomenon, ideals are The product of human social practice.

Section 2: Establishing Scientific Ideals and Beliefs

Firm belief in taking the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Strong confidence in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

2. Establish Marxist beliefs

Marxism is scientific and noble.

Marxism has lasting vitality.

Marxism is committed to transforming the world.

Note: This section should clarify the relationship between personal ideals and shared ideals, shared ideals and lofty ideals.

The common ideal of the people of all ethnic groups in our country at this stage is to build socialism with Chinese characteristics under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and build our country into a prosperous, democratic, civilized and modern socialist country. , to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Communist ideal is of course the realization of communism.

Some people have misunderstandings about communism, believing that communism is elusive and that communism and democracy have nothing to do with ideals, have nothing to do with themselves, and have nothing to do with reality. This is not right.

Communism is an ideal, a doctrine, a system, and a practice that requires the unremitting efforts of millions of people generation after generation. Personal ideals and communist ideals, communist ideals and lofty ideals are unified. Their unity lies in the practice of building socialism and in the real movement.

When discussing communism and its realization, Marx said that the realization of communism is the most practical work to be achieved by using practical means for practical goals, that is, realistic movement, which is the realization of The process of communism. That is to say, there is a process of transforming the real world step by step, and every progress is a process of realizing communism, a process of realizing ideals, and a process of pursuing and realizing harmony. Every step of transformation of reality is the concretization of ideals. The realization of the communist ideal of building a society with Chinese characteristics is an important step in the process of realizing communism for all mankind, and the realization of personal ideals is an effort to realize the communist ideal.

Section 3: Building a bridge to the other side of the ideal

This section talks about how to realize the ideal.

1. Aim high and start with a single step

Aim high.

Determine to do great things.

If you make a decision, you must follow it.

2. Recognize the long-term, arduous and tortuous nature of realizing the ideal

The realization of the ideal is a process.

Correctly treat the good times and bad times in the process of realizing your ideals.

The realization of ideals requires dedication.

3. Turn ideals into reality in practice

Correct understanding of the relationship between ideals and reality is the ideological basis for realizing ideals.

Firm belief is the will condition for realizing ideals.

Being brave in practice and working hard is the fundamental way to realize your ideals.

This section should pay attention to the relationship between ideals and reality, ideals and practice.

In fact, the ideal is reality, and the ideal lies in reality, in down-to-earth work and practice, and in hard work. Talking about ideals without reality and concrete practice will turn ideals into utopias. This is a metaphysical thinking mode. The past and the future are in reality, and reality contains the past and the future no matter what stage it is. The solution to dissatisfaction with reality is practice, which is moving towards the future and realizing ideals.

Although a person's ambitions must be lofty and lofty, they must be based on reality, practice step by step, overcome difficulties in practice, and keep moving forward, otherwise it can only be a fantasy. Therefore, the issue of ideals and beliefs is not only a matter of ideological understanding, but also a practical issue. Some people say that reality is this shore and ideal is the other shore, separated by a rapid river. Only practice is the bridge connecting the two. The realization of ideals often takes a tortuous road full of difficulties and obstacles, and depends on down-to-earth and perseverance struggle. Only practice is the bridge to the other side of the ideal.

Chapter 2: Inheriting the patriotic tradition and carrying forward the national spirit

As the second chapter of the textbook, this chapter serves as a link between the past and the following. It is the basis for the first chapter of "Establishing lofty ideals and firm beliefs" The inevitable extension and foothold is to serve the motherland and revitalize China; it is also the logical premise of the third chapter. That is to say, only by building the motherland and serving the motherland can the value of life be realized and life be valuable. The ideals and values ??of life that leave the motherland and socialist construction are empty.

In the entire textbook, this chapter has the most innovations. Compared with the "Patriotism" chapter in previous textbooks, there are important developments and innovations in content: for example, a new definition of "Patriotism" is added, including economic globalization, national defense concepts, national spirit, spirit of the times, etc. New content.

The focus and difficulty of this chapter’s teaching are the following two issues:

1. Regarding the promotion of patriotism and how to promote patriotism under the conditions of globalization

2. On the issue of patriotism being the core of the national spirit and the promotion of the national spirit

Section 1: The Patriotic Tradition of the Chinese Nation

The innovation of this section is the scientific study of patriotism Connotation regulations

The teaching materials say that patriotism embodies the people’s deep feelings for their motherland, reflects an individual’s dependence on the motherland, and is people’s sense of belonging and identification with their homeland, race and culture. The unity of sense, dignity and honor. It is an important moral requirement, political principle and legal norm that regulates the relationship between an individual and the motherland, and is also the core of the national spirit.

The concept of patriotism in the new textbooks is a highlight of this chapter.

This textbook redefines patriotism, which is consistent with previous explanations
