Second, the given information
In August, 2006, in the "Golden Autumn Scholarship" jointly organized by Xiangfan City Federation of Trade Unions and Women Entrepreneurs Association, 19 women entrepreneurs formed a helping pair with 22 poor college students, and promised to subsidize 1000 to 3,000 yuan each year for four years to help these poor college students complete their studies. Before entering the school, the Federation of Trade Unions sent a letter to each aided college student and his parents, hoping that they would take time to write a letter to the sponsor and report on their study and life. However, by the summer of 2007, for more than a year, two-thirds of the aided students had not written to their sponsors or used other contact methods. When Xiangfan City Federation of Trade Unions once again organized entrepreneurs to provide financial aid, some entrepreneurs said that they were "unwilling to provide financial aid to heartless poor students". In desperation, it was announced that five poor college students were disqualified from continuing to receive assistance.
Five poor college students in Xiangfan, Hubei Province were disqualified from continuing to receive assistance because they did not show any "gratitude" for more than a year. Once the matter was reported, comments poured in, and the enthusiastic attention of public opinion was quite unexpected.
Small things cause great discussion, which often shows that people have many differences on certain principles. On August 28th, 2007, Guangming Daily reported that as of August 27th, Sina.com had initiated a discussion on "Disqualification of Poor Students", with 2 10729 participants. Among them, 83%( 174898 votes) netizens think that "it should be cancelled", gratitude is the bottom line of being a human being, and it is difficult for ungrateful people to expect them to give back to society in the future ",and 8.9%( 18790 votes) netizens think that" it should not be cancelled ",8. 1.
2. Some people think that just because college students don't write letters, they can't simply think that they are ungrateful, and entrepreneurs should not withdraw their capital. "Although I am not a poor student, I can understand why they don't write to donors." A student of Beijing Normal University said: "I don't think most poor students are ungrateful, but they don't want to express themselves in this way. They believe that it is a better way to be grateful to study hard during school and repay the society in the future. "
For the funders, the gratitude of the recipients is undoubtedly an encouragement. Mr. Li, a funder in Wenzhou, said that every time he received a message of sympathy from the poor students who were sponsored, he would burst into tears. Ms. Song is an office worker in Beijing. She and her friends provide financial aid to students in remote areas every year through the China Youth Development Foundation. She admitted to the reporter that she never asked her children to contact and report the situation regularly. "Last year, several of the 65,438+00 children we donated happened to be in the same school. At the end of the year, they wrote to tell us how much money they received and introduced their study and life at school. " Ms. Song said, "Our love has been answered, and we all feel very happy. But we don't force all donated children to write to us. After all, they are still children. Studying hard is the best report for us. I think this is also the best' report' for myself.
In this discussion, some people think that although sympathy, kindness and pity are human nature, equality, freedom and dignity are also innate personalities. As long as you are a little stronger and give the weak a half-point "favor", people will be grateful. The grace in gratitude is inexhaustible. Even if it's over, you owe him a lifetime, and you will never be equal to him and have equal personality. There is a boss in Sichuan who has helped several poor students. Because the aided students didn't report to the "benefactor" at the end of the year, the boss canceled their eligibility for assistance and took the students who didn't know where to go to court with lawyers.
A person who has been engaged in public welfare undertakings for many years believes that children from poor families have already faced many difficulties in life, and asking the aided students to face the "grateful" donors and society with a condescending attitude may cause another psychological pressure on young people. Many donors themselves admit that their love is not for the sake of how much the donated children can give back to the donors, but they hope that they can thrive in a warm and caring environment and give back to the society with the same sense of social responsibility in the future.
On February 27th, 2008, People's Daily published the story that employees of Harbin Railway International Tourism Group helped more than 30 poor students in Lanxi County, Heilongjiang Province. In the past two years, I have been able to continue my studies with the "one-on-one" support of my uncles and aunts of Harbin Railway International Travel Group. Although the children are looking forward to it, they haven't met their sponsors for two years, just exchanged letters. Children may not understand, but uncles and aunts do have good intentions. More and more units and individuals join the team of "caring for students" because they light the candle of hope and light up the future of suffering teenagers. In the eyes of many people, the recipient's gratitude is the greatest comfort to the caring people. Under this psychological expectation, it is reasonable for the recipients to meet with the donors to express their gratitude. However, people from Harbin Railway International Travel Service think more deeply. Helping a poor child to continue his studies may change the fate of a person or even a family from now on. This kindness is a kindness that will be remembered by him all his life. But as far as the current situation of the recipients is concerned, there is no more ability and way to express gratitude except gratitude. In front of donors, overemphasizing "gratitude" will only increase their inferiority complex. In order to avoid unnecessary "stimulation" to children, Harbin Railway International Travel Service chose "meeting is not as good as Hongyan". In their letters, they encourage children to study with peace of mind and turn their gratitude to someone into care for the whole society. What a feeling it is!
So, ungrateful? The answer is of course no, there is a story that people can't let go. A migrant worker who was building a road in the mountains was seriously injured in order to prevent a bus from falling off a cliff. When he woke up in the hospital, he found that he was missing a leg. Faced with the problem of "no regrets in the future", he fell into depression: he saved a car full of people's lives, but no one visited him during his hospitalization. In fact, even if it is just a "thank you", he will not regret it. As the saying goes, "the grace of dripping water is rewarded by the spring." Without gratitude, the tree of love will lose its fertile ground for growth, and the boat of love will be stranded in the desert of the soul. No matter what changes take place in the times, good sentiments and morality will always be brilliant. What a disappointing society it is to let the sublime fall and love fail! Today, when building a socialist core value system, we need to advocate the formation of a social atmosphere of shame-awareness, shame-awareness and mutual love, and cultivate the pursuit of respecting dedication and praising lofty values. The migrant workers' brothers failed to get due thanks from the people who saved their lives, so the society should dedicate the highest praise to him and do its best to help him, so as not to let him shed blood, sweat and tears.
Everyone has a responsibility to this society, when we pay more attention to our responsibility to others, rather than others' responsibility to ourselves; Always be grateful, instead of taking others' contributions for granted, then love and gratitude can form a huge interaction in the whole society, and social harmony is promising.
Some people think that funding is a noble kindness and should not be rewarded. If any gratitude condition is attached, it is "moral blackmail" and "moral kidnapping", which is hypocrisy to satisfy moral vanity. It is meaningful to use the standard of "additional conditions" to distinguish the authenticity of charity, but it may actually add chaos and help nothing.
Some people do good deeds, without asking for anything in return or publicity, but silently contribute and enjoy it. This is undoubtedly pure and sincere kindness, and naturally it should be praised by society. However, if someone asks the beneficiary to make some response while doing good, will it lead to moral hypocrisy and charity deterioration? I'm afraid not. It is conceivable that if charity must be paid unconditionally with love, then those activities with certain conditions will be regarded as fake charity, and those who give love will be regarded as moral hypocrites. In this way, devotees may lack the motivation to do good for fear of the notoriety of "immorality". In the long run, it will definitely damage the spread of love. In Guangdong, there is a successful case: the donee must sign a moral contract. The contract requires the aided students to repay the grant and pay interest according to the student loan if the economic conditions permit, so as to help other college students. Fortunately, within half a month after the first batch of aided students graduated, 2 1 person repaid 16450 yuan. In the case of Xiangfan, the sponsor and the recipient did not reach an agreement on the conditions of the "student aid" activity in advance, so the organizer's decision to cancel the recipient's qualification seemed a bit abrupt. However, this does not mean that this kind of "helping students" is a hypocritical "moral show". Taking "the existence of additional conditions" as a moral problem is actually a moral "cleanliness".
Last year, the first batch of normal students in East China Normal University received a personal letter from the principal. In the letter, the principal told the incoming free students, "Don't forget to thank your parents and family, and don't forget to thank your teachers. I hope that you will go out of the house with a grateful heart and enter the school with a confident heart. "
Gratitude is becoming more and more precious in the social emotional intelligence system, so that some critics point out that "the lack of gratitude consciousness has become an important social problem". Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the above-mentioned letters from university presidents to freshmen have been questioned and even accused as "superfluous" and "nosy" by many people, including online public opinion. In this regard, some scholars believe that some institutional unfairness should not affect students' gratitude to their parents, family members and teachers, nor can it cover up the goodwill of a principal to urge students to look back for gratitude.
In gratitude, we often sigh that the world is getting worse, and we often reflect on the disadvantages of education. It is true that in the current education system, EQ education, including gratitude, has been badly impacted or even ignored-the pressure of college entrance examination and employment has made education more and more utilitarian, and the subsequent evolution of training objectives has gradually changed the utilitarianism of education into egoism. Schools pay too much attention to the cultivation of students' abilities that are conducive to their own needs, while ignoring others. Isn't it an improvement to read this "redundant" or "nosy" personal letter from the president of East China Normal University in this context? Even if it is only a node with personal color in the huge existing education system, it should be regarded as the awakening of students' consciousness and the return of responsibility in EQ education because of the public's demand for the framework of public order and good customs. I hope this kind of indoctrination can be more, and form a gradually perfect and systematic school emotional intelligence education system to save our lost gratitude. More importantly, this form reveals the principles of tolerance and detail necessary for gratitude education. Many times, gratitude is a spiritual monologue, which needs a tolerant platform and the accumulation of details to cultivate and edify.
On August 27th, 2007, Liberation Daily published an article: A teacher in charge of student affairs in a school told a "painful lesson": a student's family suddenly changed and fell into poverty. A group of teachers around the student insisted on giving him three or four hundred yuan a month until he graduated. On holidays, teachers take turns inviting him to their home for dinner. The students are about to graduate, and the teachers are planning a farewell party. Who knows, without saying hello to anyone, he packed his bags and left school alone. Disappointed, teachers reflect: Are we lacking in caring for poor students? The answer is: lack of spiritual support.
The article holds that a considerable number of poor students feel inferior when they first enter school, their mentality is unbalanced, and their interpersonal communication is not smooth, so they need spiritual care of "moistening things and being silent". Colleges and universities need to constantly improve the mental health education network, encourage poor students to participate in community organizations, exercise their abilities and gain self-confidence. When their hearts are full of sunshine, their gratitude consciousness and ability will continue to improve.
No matter whether poor college students receive state funding or private funding, schools should build a platform for them to be grateful and return. In addition to expressing gratitude to the funders, it is more important to repay the society on a larger scale and let love "relay". Every year, six students in East China University receive a donation from an old gentleman. In addition to holding the annual meeting between the aided students and the old gentleman, the school regularly organizes students to write their own learning and life experiences and give them to the old gentleman. Through such guidance, gratitude has quietly taken root in students' hearts.
7. Mu, a student of Dalian Medical University, comes from an ordinary peasant family in Chaoyang County, Chaoyang City. At school, Mu got a lot of help from teachers, classmates and the public. Grateful, she deeply remembered everyone's help and dedicated her love to the society. The children in this mountainous area straightened their backs and began their life journey of self-reliance and self-improvement. A number of awards record Mu's touch and pursuit: he is currently the deputy director of the learning department of the grade student union and a member of the class learning Committee. He won the first-class scholarship of Liaoning Province for many times, and won the honorary titles of self-improvement college students and "three good students" of Dalian Medical University. She became one of the "Top Ten Touching People on Campus" in the activity of "Looking for the Touching of Youth" held by the school. Mu Xiaojuan often volunteers in local nursing homes during holidays and spare time. She treats the elderly in nursing homes like relatives, visiting them regularly, asking for advice and sending them sincerely. In Hongyan nursing home, Baiyun nursing home and Tongtai nursing home where she often goes, the old people are familiar with her and affectionately call her "Xiao Mu". She laughs, entertains and exercises with her grandparents, making them feel the power of youth. She listened to them telling interesting stories in her memory, telling history, telling the Long March, telling heroes and sharing her life with them. She discusses current events with her grandparents, comments on the current situation, listens to their experiences, accepts their rare experiences about life, and teaches them to think positively about the value orientation of life ... The old people also regard her as a child, like her and trust her. In the handicraft auction of Caring for Children's Village, her works won the Excellence Award, and she donated all the money from the auction to the children in the Children's Village. At the same time, she signed up to donate hematopoietic stem cells and made a modest contribution to the medical cause.
8. On February 13, 2008, Wen Wei Po published an article: "Gratitude is the source of enhancing students' motivation and an important way to enhance students' sense of social responsibility", which was said by Lou Wei, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade. The reporter learned in the follow-up interview that the school has carried out gratitude education for four consecutive years, which greatly improved students' sense of social responsibility. According to reports, Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade organizes gratitude education, from the beginning to writing letters to parents, to asking parents, teachers and other respected elders for a "word of depression" every Spring Festival. Although the form of activities is innovating every year, the connotation of gratitude has not changed. Lou Wei said that gratitude is the easiest way to enhance students' motivation, from the original emphasis on intellectual education in university education to ability education, and now to the motivation education for students. In fact, after gratitude education, many students have enhanced their sense of responsibility, especially their sense of social responsibility.
9. In the heated discussion and debate caused by the "Xiangfan donation suspension incident", some people thought: "We expect gratitude without written contract guarantee, and we are not moved by a paper contract. Everyone has an invisible contract in their hearts. " Gratitude is the lubricant of moral benign interaction. In order to pass on gratitude, recipients certainly need to be kind to the society. With gratitude, we can know how to cherish, cherish hard-won opportunities and cherish the love of people in need. Gratitude is an attitude towards life and the simplest moral principle as a social person. The lack of gratitude between people will inevitably lead to the indifference of interpersonal relationships. In the real world, gratitude is necessary because it has far-reaching significance for social development.
We should have a deeper understanding of poor college students' social interaction, which is also an important part of college students' moral education. Our moral education should be based on lofty ideals, adhere to the correct orientation, and at the same time implement the details to reflect the role of moral education by solving practical problems. For poor college students, we should study and solve the problems among them more carefully and patiently. As investors, entrepreneurs hope to get feedback from these aided college students, which is understandable, but we can't simply say that poor college students are "ungrateful". Entrepreneurs should carry out this public welfare undertaking with a more peaceful mind. At present, the financial aid to poor college students from all walks of life is an effective way to help poor students complete their studies smoothly, and more people of insight should be actively encouraged and advocated to participate in this public welfare undertaking. Sponsors of donation activities should take the initiative to build a platform between donors and recipients to help them communicate with each other.
10. When talking about gratitude, some theorists say that gratitude is the deep foundation to ensure the harmonious and healthy development of society. We say gratitude means respect. Gratitude is not only a respect for life, but also a respect for the property of others. And there will be awe if there is respect, because respect itself is also a manifestation of awe. And awe is the basic condition for order to be effective, and awe makes order have internal constraints, thus making order have real meaning. Therefore, the spirit of gratitude also embodies a spirit of order. And order is the basic element to ensure the healthy development of society. We say that gratitude reflects a certain degree of fairness. The essence of gratitude is a reward to others according to the law of personal inner fairness, so the essence of gratitude is also a fair personality. Because society is made up of individuals, only individual fairness can lead to social fairness. Gratitude is another expression of love. Funding is love, gratitude is also love, funding and gratitude, * * * together form a circle of love, and the two promote each other and have a virtuous circle. And love is the basic requirement for the healthy development of human nature and society. Order, fairness and love constitute the three basic elements of the healthy development of society, and gratitude is essentially related to these three elements. Therefore, the degree of gratitude of a country's citizens is an important measure to reflect the healthy development of society.
General Secretary Hu Jintao pointed out in the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that it is necessary to "build a harmonious culture and cultivate civilized fashion. Harmonious culture is an important spiritual support for the unity and progress of all people. " "Vigorously carry forward the ideas of patriotism, collectivism and socialism, focus on enhancing the awareness of honesty, strengthen the construction of social morality, professional ethics, family virtues and personal morality, play a moral model role, and guide people to consciously fulfill their legal obligations, social responsibilities and family responsibilities." Harmonious culture takes harmony as its ideological core and value orientation, and advocates harmonious ideas, cultivates harmonious spirit and creates harmonious atmosphere as its main contents. Its most basic and direct value orientation is advocating and pursuing harmony. Harmony begins from the heart, and human physical and mental harmony is the basic condition of social harmony. In modern society, the pace of work and life is accelerated, competition is intensified, and people's mental pressure is increased, which is easy to produce quick success and impetuous mentality, and even resentment and hatred will be generated when encountering setbacks. Once these mental unhealthy factors lead to extreme behavior, it will affect social harmony and stability. Through the edification and cultivation of harmonious culture, we can improve people's realm, taste and interest, effectively adjust people's emotions and psychology, and cultivate an optimistic, open-minded and inclusive spirit and a confident, rational, peaceful and positive social mentality.
11.08 On February 8, 2008/kloc-0, Li Li said at the 2007 People's Award Ceremony of CCTV's "Touching China": "Since I was engaged in family education, I have known many families and many children. I think some children lack gratitude, willpower and the ability to resist setbacks. How's it going?
Some people in the society say that some poor college students who have been subsidized have not taken the initiative to express their gratitude to their sponsors, which reflects some concerns in their hearts. Due to the poor economic conditions, they may feel that they can't hold their heads up, and then they are unwilling to openly face their sponsors. In fact, this is an incorrect mentality. Poor college students should establish a correct outlook on life and values. We should have a correct understanding of our current poverty: poverty can be changed, but in the final analysis, it depends on ourselves. If someone subsidizes himself today, he should make good use of this condition and turn this subsidy into his positive motivation. Instead of always feeling inferior or complaining about social injustice. If you don't change this negative mentality, you will be too lazy to communicate with others and it will be difficult to establish a positive pursuit. Even if you struggle, you will feel that your future is bleak and even lead to more negative consequences.
12. Yin Hong, deputy director of the Department of Science and Technology of China, said that it is a new mode of combining education and education that our school has been trying to explore in recent years to guide the poor students to set up a love society, adhering to the purpose of "serving the society, giving love to others, and passing it on from generation to generation". The "Progressive Love Society" was initiated by 25 students who won the "Progressive Scholarship" and currently has 50 members. Since the establishment of the Association, students have actively participated in the activities of "going to the countryside in summer", conducted social surveys in rural areas, held association exchange activities, introduced learning experiences to freshmen, and held essay-writing activities of "gratitude and responsibility". This student group has been moved and grown up in a series of activities. There are eight such caring societies in our school. They are all named after the established scholarships and are unified under the management of "Self-improvement Society".
Under the guidance of the Student Affairs Office of Dalian University of Technology, the Hadron Society is a community organization that focuses on students with financial difficulties. After several years of continuous development, today's Hadron Society has 18 college chapters with more than 4,000 members. In recent years, Hadron Society has continuously expanded social welfare activities for more than 4 times10, participated in activities for more than 7900 times, and accumulated activities for more than 109500 hours.
On August 22nd, 2007, Wang Xuming, spokesperson of the Ministry of Education, said in an interview with the media that college students with difficulties are not ordinary vulnerable groups and should not be compared with them. College students from poor families have some difficulties in their study, but they have received high school education and are preparing to enter the university. According to our present point of view, these students can be regarded as the pillars of the future country. In addition to academic qualifications, I think we should also have psychological quality, moral character and ideological will. Therefore, I especially advocate self-improvement education for poor college students, and publicize those college students who have overcome difficulties and struggled to grow up with the encouragement of state funding policies.
Wang Xuming didn't say that we should consider the education and influence on students while providing financial support, whether it is state-funded or private-funded. At the same time, he suggested that we can appropriately adjust the ways and methods of helping students with difficulties and change the way of giving, and at the same time, we must have certain preconditions. If it becomes a contract, the funded students will write several letters every year to report their study life, report their transcripts and the use of funds, and stop funding if they don't report. Or learn from the state subsidy policy and have an incentive mechanism to cultivate their gratitude.
Xiong Bingqi, an education expert, believes that it is also very important to put gratitude education in place at home when people think that college students should enhance their filial piety, compassion and gratitude. He said that the reasons for the lack of gratitude of some college students are not only the utilitarian school education that guides students to devote all their energy to books and evaluates students with scores as the only criterion, but also the variation and lack of family education.
14. Fudan University has set up a "Love Fund", which not only absorbs social support, but also serves as a carrier for educating people. Every year, when students graduate, the poor students funded by this fund have to make a promise to the teachers and students of the whole school and sign their names: "During my study abroad, I will donate 5% of my annual scholarship to Fudan to help my poor brothers and sisters", "After work, I will donate 5% of my salary to Fudan every year" ... Many students keep their promises and continue to donate to the "Love Fund". Tang Xing, director of the Academic Affairs Office of Guangxi University, said that the lack of gratitude awareness of some poor students was not built in a day. These negative thoughts need the correct guidance of the school. The purpose of the school is to teach and educate people, not only academically, but also ideologically and morally. Also in line with the purpose of "paying equal attention to funding and education, and paying equal attention to poverty alleviation and educating people", Guangxi University has been insisting on gratitude education in recent years to cultivate the love and gratitude of poor students: holding a "Thanksgiving Conference" and inviting advanced figures to give speeches and personal experiences; Organize visits to orphanages to help orphans; Actively establish friendly relations with off-campus enterprises, match one-on-one assistance, and provide social practice opportunities for poor students. In various forms of gratitude education, students have benefited a lot.
Third, the answer requirements
(1) The given data (1 ~ 3) reflects that five poor college students in Xiangfan, Hubei Province were disqualified from continuing to receive financial aid because they did not show any gratitude for more than one year. As soon as this matter was reported, comments swarmed in, forming two opposing views: First, these poor college students know that gratitude and kindness are the most basic moral requirements and should be grateful; Second, it is believed that the purpose of funding by funders should not be to get returns, and it is not necessary to ask recipients to be grateful in one way.
