Educating people morally first

("Guangming Daily"2011Year09month22Day09 version)

Speaking of talent training, at the w88 casino, a university whose mission is to cultivate talents in foreign economics, w88, and finance, people generally pay attention to topics such as internationalization, comprehensiveness, broad foundation, and distinctiveness. However, the w88 casino party committee has always paid special attention to the cultivation of "moral character cultivation," "personality cultivation," and "psychological quality." What is the reason that prompted the party committee to attach great importance to this issue?

The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China included the insistence on "education first, moral education first" into the party report, and the national education development plan outline included "adhere to moral education, establish moral education and cultivate people" as the core of higher education. Different talents will have different training contents and methods, but the basic standards of talents are the same. What are the basic standards for talent? The ancients said that "talented people are endowed with virtue; virtuous people are endowed with talent." It can be seen that people's moral cultivation plays a leading, controlling, and main role in the knowledge, abilities, and performance of talents. The so-called "success is also in people, and failure is also in people." I think this is the truth.

In recent years, we have often lamented: Today’s college students have strong ability to acquire knowledge and have many channels, and their overall knowledge level is higher than that of their peers in any previous era. However, there are more people with high IQs and more people with higher education, but the number of people with great realm, great ambition, and great wisdom has not increased. George, a famous professor at Harvard University in the United States.Professor Hulls’s years of research have shown that a person’s career success and contribution to the country do not entirely lie in wisdom and talent, but more importantly, in the advantages of character. Einstein also said that for scientists, iron will is much more important than IQ and talent. Using scholars' judgments to reflect reality, I feel that there are many issues worth thinking about, exploring and particularly needing reflection on the moral education work in our colleges and universities.

What problems exist in the current moral education in colleges and universities? We believe that moral education is divided into three levels. Among them, the code of conduct is the foundation, the spiritual realm is the key, and the ideals and beliefs are the soul. Judging from the current situation in colleges and universities, spiritual realm education is a weak link.

Moral emotions, sense of responsibility, sense of justice, and spirit of dedication all belong to the spiritual realm. At present, moral education in universities is easy to fall into two misunderstandings: First, the education of ideals and beliefs replaces the education of moral cultivation. Moral education is the education of character, the education of how to behave. Morality is the foundation of human development. Ideals and beliefs that do not take moral cultivation as a premise are often false and hollow, making people prone to swaying from side to side, impetuous and changeable. Another misunderstanding is that Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of "Three Represents", Scientific Outlook on Development, and ideological and moral courses are instilled into students as knowledge and used as knowledge to test students. As a result, some students "get full marks in the exam but low marks in life."

In recent years, the w88 casino has made some explorations and efforts in moral education.

Students at the w88 casino are outstanding students selected from across the country in the college entrance examination. To train these young people into useful foreign economic and w88 talents, the most important thing is to maintain good moral character. To this end, we have worked hard in several aspects: First, implement a tutor responsibility system in graduate education, requiring graduate tutors to teach by words and deeds, and integrate moral education into the professional training process. The second is to let students experience the importance of being a human being in practice. In recent years, the number of professional internship and social practice bases jointly built by w88 casino and employers has continued to increase. Many students realize the importance of character when they see in internships and practices that employers always put moral cultivation at the top of talent cultivation when selecting and evaluating talents. This kind of understanding is difficult to obtain through preaching alone. Third, in terms of improving students' moral cultivation and spiritual realm, we must emphasize in a targeted manner: first, education of responsibility; second, education of integrity; third, education of gratitude; fourth, education of reverence; fifth, education of happiness; sixth, education of firm will. Others include kindness, tolerance, inspirational education, etc. Especially integrity, responsibility, gratitude, and awe education. The source of the idea of integrity comes from responsibility. Only when you understand your responsibilities to the motherland, the people, the company, and the family can you regard integrity as your life creed; and if you know how to be grateful to your parents, the country, and your teachers, and how to be in awe of the universe, nature, and the laws of social development, you will not be self-centered in everything, but you will know how to be cautious in your words and deeds, diligent in pursuit, and regard their expectations as the driving force for your own development.
