1. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China put forward the strategic task of building a socialist core value system, stating: "The guiding ideology of Marxism, the communist ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and patriotism The national spirit as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, constitute the basic content of the socialist core value system. ”

2. First of all, in today’s society, college students should adhere to socialism. In terms of values, you need to train yourself in the following aspects:

1. Use your own knowledge reserves and youthful vitality to promote the popularization and sublimation of the correct world view, outlook on life and values ??of the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces".

The concept of honor and disgrace is a reflection of social existence and is formed on the basis of world outlook and values. As a pair of moral categories, "honor" and "humiliation" have been closely accompanying mankind since the beginning of human society. "Rong" means glory and honor, and "humiliation" means shame. They reflect the affirmation, positive evaluation and negative given by others, groups, and society due to practical or communication activities in social life. Negative evaluation, and the resulting psychological sense of satisfaction, pride or shame, and inferiority complex. Honor and disgrace involve the pursuit and rejection of personal personality. Seeking honor and rejecting humiliation is a unique phenomenon of human beings. The concept of honor and disgrace is the basic view that people hold on the basis of worldview and values ??about what honor and disgrace are, their mutual relationship, and the attitude towards honor and disgrace in life practice. People from different eras, nationalities and stages, with different world views, outlook on life and values, have different views on honor and disgrace. Engels said that "every social group has its own concept of honor and disgrace." Only when a person truly understands what is glorious and what is shameful can he consciously restrain his words and deeds. Only when a society establishes a clear concept of honor and disgrace can it become a spiritual and cultural country and a true world power. Colleges and universities must effectively improve their understanding of the importance of establishing a socialist concept of honor and disgrace from the perspective of "who to train" and "how to train people", and regard the socialist concept of honor and disgrace as a code of conduct and habit.

Adhere to the guiding ideology of Marxism. Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for our party and country. In the construction of our country's socialist core value system, Marxism has provided us with a correct worldview and methodology, and a powerful ideological weapon for correctly understanding the world and transforming the world. Only by correctly understanding the general trend of economic and social development and correctly understanding the mainstream and tributaries of social ideology using Marxist positions, viewpoints, and methods can we see the essence and clarify the direction of complex social phenomena. In the long-term revolutionary struggle and socialist construction practice, our party relied on the correct guidance of Marxism and achieved great historic achievements in China's revolution, construction, reform and development. The guiding position of Marxism in the life of the party and the country determines that it is the fundamental guiding ideology of socialist values.

2. Promote and uphold the communist ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Ideals are the soul of a nation and a society. Marxism provides a scientific explanation of ideal issues and intrinsically links ideal issues with the laws of human historical development, enabling people to have a more scientific grasp and conscious understanding of ideal issues. Chinese Communists guided by Marxism have always adhered to lofty ideals and insisted on combining idealism with realism, making lofty ideals an indispensable part of the spiritual life of our party and our nation. For Communists, the highest ideal is to realize communism. At this stage, building socialism with Chinese characteristics is the common ideal of our entire society. To build a socialist core value system, we should use the ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics to unify our thinking, inspire people, and gather strength. In the great practice of building socialism, the Chinese people have chosen to build socialism with Chinese characteristics. Since the reform and opening up, the vigorous development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics has not only made the lofty ideals long pursued by the Chinese people step by step closer to reality, but also demonstrated that China is exploring new development paths and directions for human society in its great journey of modernization. The communist ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics demonstrates that we will build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way in the first two decades of the 21st century on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and basically achieve modernization by the middle of the 21st century.

3. Uphold and carry forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core. The national spirit and the spirit of the times are the spiritual support on which a nation depends for its survival and development. A nation without an inspiring spirit and noble character cannot stand on its own among the nations of the world. Over the course of more than five thousand years of development, the Chinese nation has formed a great national spirit centered on patriotism, featuring unity and unity, peace-loving, diligence, courage, and self-improvement. In the new era of reform and opening up, the Chinese nation has formed a spirit of the times that dares to reform and innovate. In the process of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization, the national spirit and the spirit of the times have become more and more prominent in the cohesion and motivation of the Chinese nation. They have been deeply embedded in the vitality, creativity and cohesion of the nation and have become an integral part of socialist values.

4. Adhere to and establish the socialist concept of honor and disgrace. Comrade Hu Jintao clearly proposed the socialist concept of honor and disgrace with "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as its main content. He emphasized: "In our socialist society, the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and ugliness must not be blurred. What we insist on, what we oppose, what we advocate and what we resist must all be clear-cut." The concept of honor and disgrace is the world view and outlook on life. , important content of values, establishing a correct concept of honor and disgrace is an important foundation for forming a good social atmosphere. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace, with the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as its main content, clarifies the most basic value orientation and behavioral norms of contemporary society, embodies the basic socialist moral norms, embodies the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, excellent revolutionary morality and the spirit of the times. The perfect combination. As an important part of the socialist core value system, the socialist concept of honor and disgrace has become and will continue to become a banner leading social trends.

Secondly, to adhere to socialist values ????unified in knowledge and practice, we must also clarify the outlook on life, which is the value of life.

1. Life is the basis for the existence and development of the world, and the existence of living individuals is the first premise of human history. Marx pointed out: "The first premise of all human history is undoubtedly the existence of living individuals." Human life existence and the activities of creating history are always guided and driven by certain life values. In the long process of human beings seeking truth, goodness, beauty, and holiness, they always express, intentionally or unintentionally, directly or indirectly, the pursuit of the value of life, the transcendence of the existing self, and the understanding of one's own limitations. Breakthroughs are precisely the search for the value of life by countless individuals that paint a colorful and magnificent picture of human history. Although there are different life values ????in different time and space experiences, fundamentally speaking, whether one can have scientific, timely, and progressive life values ????is not only related to the wonderfulness of individual life, but also affects the entire society. Harmony, stability and development.

2. From the perspective of levels, life values ??include primitive, simple, and fragmentary ones, as well as scientific, systematic, and theoretical ones. The former is more perceptual and spontaneous, while the latter is more rational and consciously generated. The outlook on life under the socialist core value system enables life values ??to get rid of spontaneous, emotional, and fragmentary traces and elevate them to the realm of rationality, system, and science.

4. There are two broad and narrow understandings of life. In a broad sense, life refers to all animals, plants and inorganic substances that have metabolism, reproduction, growth and environmental adaptability. The existence of life must meet three conditions: first, living organisms cannot exist without being separated from the relationship with the outside world; Second, each system that constitutes life can react organically within, between systems, and between systems and the outside world; third, each system that constitutes life is not closed, but open, and it is in the openness that material interactions with external objects can occur. Exchange with energy to achieve the growth and development of life.

In a narrow sense, life refers specifically to human life, which has three characteristics: first, it is closely related to other individuals; second, it has an internal complete structure, which is a systematic whole. , so it is a living thing; the third is self-transcendence through continuous efforts to achieve a higher form of self-realization or self-transformation.

5. There are two concepts related to "life", one is "life" and the other is "survival". "Life" is the sum of life events, life processes, and life tastes that people experience in their lives. "Life" is the basis of "life". Without "life", there is no "life"; "life" is "life" representation and manifestation.

Generally speaking, the existence of life is more special. The life events, life processes and life experiences experienced by everyone are different; but from the perspective of the existence of life, it shows more " "Universal" character: Human natural life all originates from a kind of blood existence, and all have the same compound of life. Human cultural life all originates from human transcendent instinct. This can be called the "Great Harmony" of life. ". However, this kind of "unity" of life is only a basic existence. Due to the "individualization" tendency and "particularity" characteristics of human life, the realistic picture of life deduced by each person is complicated. It creates the "great differences" in life, and life is the intermediary for life to move from "great unity" to great differences. "Survival" generally refers to the existence of all life, that is, the existence of all living things can be called "survival". It is a physical, perceptual and objective existence. For people, "survival" refers to the minimum survival condition of human life. "Life" is the premise of "survival", and it is also the axis and subject around which "survival" always unfolds and rotates.

6. Under socialist values, for what and how do people "live" and "survive"? Marxists believe that the outlook on life and the world are closely linked. The outlook on life is the concrete manifestation of the world outlook in the field of life, and the world outlook is the ideological and theoretical basis of the outlook on life. Generally speaking, what kind of world outlook there is will be what kind of outlook on life. Because people have different social statuses in social life and different world views, they will inevitably form different outlooks on life.

7. "When the river goes eastward, all the waves are swept away, and the heroes of the ages are famous." Why do some of the representatives who participate in the party, as the wheel of history rolls forward, become heroes and be remembered for generations, while others become bears and be infamous for thousands of years? I think an important reason is that when they first participated in the program, their views on life, their attitudes towards life, and their goals in life were different. Some do it for the revolution, while others do it to become an official, get rich, and become famous, so they embark on different paths in life. Take Mao Zedong and Zhou Fohai as examples. Mao Zedong set his ambition to "transform China and the world" as early as his student days. As a result, he rushed from Shaoshan to the Tiananmen Gate Tower and became a great figure of the Chinese people. leader. Zhou Fohai said after the First Congress of the Communist Party of China that the reason why he joined the revolution was because he wanted to be an official, get rich, and become famous. Because his personal goals could not be realized for a while, he later fell into the arms of the Kuomintang and Japanese imperialism and became a scum of the nation. In the end, the people sent him to the guillotine.

8. A correct outlook on life refers to the fundamental view and attitude towards life formed under the guidance of the proletarian world outlook. The characteristics of this outlook on life can be summarized in three sentences: it is based on the understanding of the laws of development of human society, with collectivism as the core, and with the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly. It comprehensively and correctly answers basic questions such as why people should live, who they should be, and how they should behave. It is by far the most progressive and scientific outlook on life.

3. If we want to establish a correct outlook on life, we must consciously and resolutely achieve the "four objections" and "four establishments."

1. Oppose the egoistic outlook on life and establish an outlook on life that serves the people wholeheartedly. Only when you work hard for the country, society, nation, collective, and the interests of others, and contribute your intelligence and talents without reservation, can such a life have real meaning, be a glorious life, and a shining life. ”

2. Oppose the hedonistic outlook on life and establish the outlook on life of struggle. If a person only lives to satisfy his personal needs of eating, drinking and having fun, what is the difference between him and animals? That can only be the love of scientists. The "pig pen ideal" mentioned by Einstein will inevitably lead to degeneration and misdirection. If "you live for enjoyment, I live for enjoyment, and everyone enjoys it together", who will provide material living conditions for society and others? On the contrary, the outlook on life of struggle believes that the source of happiness is in labor and creation, and in the struggle for collective interests, society can only be achieved if everyone works hard and fulfills their responsibilities to society. Progress can only lead to development and provide people with material conditions for enjoyment. This outlook on life reveals the true meaning of the word "happiness". The proletariat has never opposed legitimate personal happiness and moderate material enjoyment, but requires that material life and Unify spiritual life, unify labor creation and life enjoyment, and unify personal happiness and people's happiness.

Marx has a famous saying: "He who can make most people happy is himself happy." Engels also pointed out profoundly: "Individual happiness and everyone's happiness are inseparable."

3. Oppose the outlook on life of playing games and establish an outlook on life that treats life seriously. In terms of ideological and moral character, one should pursue high aspirations, meritorious service, selfless dedication, and serve the motherland; in terms of work style, one should pursue the observance of laws and prohibitions, be hardworking and plain living, be brave in pioneering, and persevere; in terms of interest in life, one should pursue health and progress, and take pride in hardship. , Riches and honors should not be immoral, and poverty should not change; in terms of behavior and appearance, one should pursue neat clothing, civilized manners, dignified behavior, and cheerful and generous behavior. A famous person once said: "In the long river of history, life is short, but it is always in the process of development and change. There is a critical point for good and bad, success and failure, good and evil, honor and disgrace, and obedience and disobedience. Point, this is your attitude towards life, it depends on whether you play with her or treat her seriously. "In social life, various temptations such as power, status, money and beauty, comfort and enjoyment, wealth, honor and disgrace have always affected us. Only by establishing a serious outlook on life can we be good at controlling ourselves, not fighting for power, not greedy for money, not obsessed with sex, maintaining noble moral sentiments and perfect personality, and always studying and working with strong energy.

4. Oppose a negative and decadent outlook on life and establish an optimistic and upward outlook on life. An optimistic outlook on life believes that the road is tortuous but the future is bright. People who hold this outlook on life firmly believe that their historical mission is consistent with social development and that their career will inevitably succeed. Therefore, their attitude towards life is always confident and proactive. With this outlook on life, they can be successful in life. On the journey, we have to overcome thorns and thorns and move forward in an indomitable way. Regarding this issue, Marshal Chen Yi, who is familiar to everyone, once said something very profound. After the failure of the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, Chiang Kai-shek sent heavy troops to pursue and intercept the rebels led by Zhu De and Chen Yi. The struggle was extremely difficult. Under such a situation, the morale of the troops was low, and some people became pessimistic and wavering. In order to maintain this team in the difficult situation and strengthen everyone's correct confidence, Chen Yi convened a meeting of all military personnel and personally conducted political mobilization. He said: "The Nanchang Uprising failed, but the failure of the Nanchang Uprising does not mean the failure of China's correctness. China's correctness will eventually succeed. We all must withstand the test of failure. In the case of successful development, being a hero is It's easy; it's much more difficult to be a hero when you retreat. Only heroes who have been tested by failure are the real heroes." Later, this team became a hero under Zhu De and Chen Yi. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, they finally overcame numerous difficulties and obstacles and successfully joined forces with the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by Comrade Mao Zedong in Jinggangshan. Today, we still need to keep in mind the words of Marshal Chen Yi, face difficulties, adversities, setbacks and failures on the road of life with a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, strive for self-improvement, work hard, sail the boat of life, ride the wind and waves, and sail forward.

A famous quote by Ostrovsky ends this lesson: "The most precious thing for people is life. Life is only once for everyone. How should you spend this only life?" What? Whenever he recalls the past, he can not regret wasting his years and not be ashamed of doing nothing; when he is dying, he can say that my whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the world. The most magnificent cause - the struggle for human liberation."
