What is the significance of traditional ethics to modernization?

Quasi-society is moving towards modernization. In this process, in some countries, especially in some developed countries, the highly developed modern and information-based material civilization has formed obvious contrast with the relatively backward moral civilization, showing a serious decline in moral level, especially the moral situation of teenagers is even more worrying. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the role of China's ethical culture in the process of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics. First, the modern value of China's ancient excellent ethical tradition. Ethics, as the superstructure and ideology of society, is not only class-oriented, but also historic and homosexual in the long history of human society. While reflecting the consciousness of the ruling class, it also reflects to some extent some social life ethics and moral concepts shared by human beings, which are inherited from the past. China's traditional ethics can absorb many valuable essences while eliminating its feudal dross, which have great modern value, such as 1, holism and patriotism. 2。 "Benevolence" spirit. 3. Pay attention to family status and family ethics. 4. Positive philosophy of life. 5. The environmental morality of "harmony between man and nature". Second, the moral education of teenagers and the inheritance of excellent ethical traditions. 1, pay attention to inherit and carry forward the collectivist spirit and patriotic tradition in strengthening patriotism and collectivism education. 2. In strengthening the education of teenagers' life values, we should pay attention to inheriting and carrying forward the positive philosophy of life values such as "being strong" and "being self-reliant", and cultivate the independent personality spirit of raising teenagers. 3. In strengthening the education of loving the people, pay attention to inheriting and carrying forward the spirit of "benevolence". 4. Inherit and carry forward the moral fashion of "emphasizing family ethics" in strengthening the education of socialist family concept. 5. Inherit and carry forward the traditional thought of "harmony between man and nature" in strengthening the education of loving nature and protecting the environment. In short, when implementing the moral education program for primary and secondary schools and the daily code of conduct, we should boldly inherit and carry forward the excellent ethical traditions in ancient China, and boldly learn from and choose many profound ethics, aphorisms and personality models elaborated by ancient Chinese sages, especially popular and vivid forms of publicity and education. In America, the story of Lincoln walking three miles and giving back six cents to others is well known. Why can't our Confucius and Mencius give so many noble moral words and deeds to thousands of ancient sages and widely publicize them to children?
