A Brief Answer to Ideological and Moral Cultivation of University: How to Understand the Conflict between University Ideal and Real Life

-Analysis of the contradiction between college students' life ideals and reality

If the society is the sea and life is a boat, then the ideal is the beacon for navigation and the sail for propulsion. A life without an ideal is like a boat without direction and motivation, drifting around in the waves of life and even sinking in rapids and rapids. In college, it is the prime of life, and lofty ideals will help a generation of promising young people to raise the sails of life and open up and explore a new voyage of life.

At the same time, today's era is an era of great change, and the social environment is complex and changeable. Reform and opening up have promoted the development of China's socialist productive forces and the development of the whole economy and society, making our society present a situation in which many ideas coexist; In the transformation from traditional agricultural society to modern industrial society and from planned economy to market economy, China's social and economic components, interest distribution, organizational forms, employment methods and people's lifestyles are increasingly diversified; Economic globalization and network information age make society more diversified.

Faced with such a complicated and changeable reality, where will the life ideal of contemporary college students go? At this time, we turned out the word "contradiction". Contradictions are everywhere and all the time, that is, the universality of contradictions. There are contradictions between college students' life ideals and reality. The contradiction between different things is concrete and special, that is, the particularity of contradiction. Therefore, the contradiction between college students' life ideal and reality needs specific analysis. Materialist dialectics provides a fundamental viewpoint and method for people to understand and transform the world. "Doing things according to dialectics" can achieve the purpose of guiding the situation, guiding the situation and being far-sighted. Contradiction analysis is a basic cognitive method, which is at the core of the methodology system of materialist dialectics.

Therefore, the contradiction analysis method is used to analyze the contradiction between college students' life ideals and reality.

First, the contradictory struggle

Every year, groups of college students walk out of the ivory tower and go to society with great ambitions and lofty ideals. However, most of those who are waiting for these "highly educated" are the severe employment situation and competitive pressure. The "employment winter" of college students is getting colder every year.

Since 1999, China's colleges and universities have expanded their enrollment on a large scale. In just a few years, the total number of college graduates in China has increased by nearly four times. At present, the enrollment of higher education in China ranks first in the world. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the number of college students in China will reach 25 million. In just a few years, the total number of college graduates is increasing at a geometric speed, which makes the employment situation of college students more severe year by year. The contradiction between the surge in the total number of college graduates and meeting the actual needs of society has become the bottleneck of college students' employment at present. On the one hand, a large number of graduates are concentrated in large and medium-sized cities and economically developed areas, but the employees in these places have reached or approached saturation, so the competition is fierce and the employment pressure of graduates is great, which makes there are a large number of college graduates who want to engage in their own professional work. On the other hand, many remote areas and hard industries cannot recruit qualified professionals. This has led to the structural contradiction of excessive quantity on the surface and insufficient quality in fact.

The ideal and reality of college students reflect the contradictory struggle here. The cruel reality of "too many monks and too few porridge" restricts the realization path of many college students' life ideals, so many college students have to reconsider their future development and find new ideals to adapt to the development trend of the real society. Li Dazhao once pointed out: "People who are old at traveling, when they reach a flat place, move forward happily and reach a rugged realm. The more interesting they are, the more they can feel the beauty of adventure. " The realization of the ideal is arduous.

This phenomenon is a manifestation of the role of antagonistic contradiction in the development of things: the struggle between the two sides of the contradiction promotes the change of the strength of the two sides of the contradiction, and the high-level competition causes the imbalance of the development of the strength of the two sides, creating conditions for the transformation of opposites and the qualitative change of things.

Therefore, although there are many contradictions and difficulties, college students have been shouting "employment winter" for several years, but the "cold winter" has passed year after year, isn't the warm spring coming yet? The vast majority of college students have experienced painful choices and found their own jobs after choosing. Practically speaking, it is not difficult for college students to find jobs. It is difficult to find an ideal job.

Many ideals are shattered in reality, and many ideals are established in reality. I always hope to find my own spiritual totem in my ideal and let go of my feelings. The role of totem is to give us powerful strength to guide us forward, and spirit is very important to us. However, reality is always cruel enough to completely destroy our spiritual totem. After all, those spiritual things are illusory, and the huge difference between them is like an insurmountable gap. We stand under the reality and look up at the ideal sky, always hesitating and confused. This is the process of pursuing ideals, and we have to go through it. Don't be knocked down by the gap between ideal and reality, then we will never reach the ideal heaven and can only wander in the reality hell. Don't always think about the ideal good, don't always think about the bad in reality, and face it calmly.

Second, the contradiction of identity.

In recent years, various new forms of employment diversion have emerged. Reality is also creating conditions for the realization of college students' ideals. Village officials and teaching are new words derived in recent years.

Urban employment competition is fierce, while rural areas are just the opposite. There is a serious shortage of capable, knowledgeable and self-motivated young talents, especially practical compound talents with high knowledge and high education, strong ability to get rich and excellent professional skills suitable for rural development. Moreover, the countryside itself has a broad employment market and development potential, and the national policy gradually inclines to the countryside, which will certainly inspire college graduates to care about rural construction and devote themselves to rural development, and provide an infinite stage for giving full play to their specialties and realizing their own values.

College student village officials have brought more advanced ideas and concepts to the countryside, especially the concept of market economy. The development of market economy in China is deepening day by day, and the market economic system is improving day by day. Compared with cities, the ability of rural areas to adapt to market economy needs to be strengthened and improved. When college students go to work in the countryside, they can just bring the consciousness of market economy to the countryside, so that farmers can also use the thinking of market economy to promote rural construction and development. For example, increase investment attraction, strengthen the development, utilization and integration of resources, accelerate the pace of reform and opening up, and make use of the capital market. All these will greatly promote the economic development in rural areas.

On the other hand, college students' teaching has sung the main theme of the times and made contributions to the west, the grassroots and the places where the motherland needs it most.

Xu Benyu, male, born in 1982, Liaocheng, Shandong, is a 99-grade student of Huazhong Agricultural University. He was born in a poor family. After he was admitted to Huazhong Agricultural University, he encountered many difficulties in his study and life. He was listed as a poor student and received financial support from the school, the care of teachers and classmates, and social help. This is transformed into a powerful spiritual motivation, encouraging him to strive for self-improvement and determined to become a useful person to the country, society and others. He wrote in his self-report: "The only thing I can do is to pass on my love and help those who need help in life with my own actions."

In July, 2002, Xu Benyu participated in the summer social practice organized by the school, and went to Goudiaoyan Village, Maochang Town, Dafang County, Guizhou Province as an intern for one month. This social practice made him have a deeper understanding of the national conditions, aroused a strong sense of social responsibility, and determined to make contributions to changing local poverty and backwardness with practical actions. When he returned to school, the children were reluctant to part with him, and he promised them that he would go back to teach them a year later. After being admitted to graduate school, he intends to give up the opportunity for further study and return to Guizhou to practice his "promise under the sun". After research, the school decided to keep his postgraduate status for two years and support his actions. In July 2003, Xu Benyu returned to life, worked under very difficult conditions and volunteered to teach in a primary school.

In 2004, The Man Who Moved China won the prize: "If tears are a kind of wealth, Xu Benyu is a rich man. In the past year, he made us cry. He walked from the bustling city into the depths of the mountains, shouldering the fallen classroom, poverty and loneliness with the tender shoulders of a newly graduated college student, and shouldering the responsibilities that did not belong to him. Perhaps a person's strength can't make a child's eyes full of sunshine, love and expectation. Xu Benyu lit the torch and stung our eyes. "

Xu Benyu's teaching has realized his ideal of "expressing feelings" and educated contemporary college students to establish a correct outlook on life and values; But also his ideal and social development can be realized. His typical examples show that ideal and reality are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.

Teaching for college students is an effective way to guide them to the west and the grassroots to exercise and grow up and make contributions. Teaching can help college students understand the national conditions and people's feelings more deeply, especially deepen their understanding of the current situation of basic education in backward areas in China, and form a strong sense of social responsibility, mission and urgency; By overcoming the difficulties in the teaching process, temper the quality of will and cultivate the spirit of hard struggle; In teaching, college students solve problems independently, which stimulates their interest in autonomous learning and improves their ability of autonomous learning.

College students' teaching support has alleviated the outstanding problems of relatively low teaching level and insufficient number of teachers in poverty-stricken areas, which is an important measure to coordinate the coordinated development of urban and rural education, optimize the allocation of teachers' resources and solve the problem of rural teachers' weakness. The spread of civilized lifestyles by college students in backward areas has brought new ideas, new technologies, international horizons and open ideas, which has promoted the social, economic and cultural development of teaching areas to a certain extent.

Vivid examples and employment trends are the manifestations of the role of contradictory identity in the development of things: first, identity is the premise of the existence and development of things, and the development of one of the contradictory parties is based on the development of the other. Development is development in the unity of contradictions. Second, identity enables both sides of the contradiction to learn from each other's favorable factors and develop independently in interaction. Thirdly, identity stipulates the possibility and development trend of things transformation.

Bruno was a great thinker, natural scientist, philosopher and writer in the Italian Renaissance. He bravely defended and developed Copernicus's theory of the sun center and spread it all over Europe. He was praised by the world as a fearless fighter against the philosophy of the church and scholasticism and a martyr to defend the truth.

He was attracted by Copernicus' theory, became interested in natural science and became suspicious of religious theology. He held a negative attitude towards the doctrines advocated by scholastics, wrote some papers criticizing the Bible, and showed his aversion to Christian saints in his daily behavior.

Bruno's words and deeds angered the Vatican and he was excommunicated. The Inquisition accused him of heresy. But Bruno still sticks to his point of view and never wavers. Bruno widely publicized his new cosmology in Europe and opposed scholasticism, which further aroused the fear and hatred of the Roman Inquisition. 1592, the Romans lured him back to China and arrested him.

The executioners tried various punishments, but Bruno still couldn't give in. He said: "The glaciers in the Caucasus will not cool the fire in my heart, even if I am burned to death like Servit." He also said: "Fighting for the truth is the greatest pleasure in life". After eight years of cruel torture, Bruno was burned to death at the stake.

1600 17 In the early morning of February, the solemn and stirring bell on the Romata pierced the night sky and spread to thousands of families. This is a signal to burn at the stake. The street leading to the Flower Square is crowded with people. When Bruno was tied to the stake in the center of the square, he solemnly announced to the onlookers: "Darkness is about to pass, dawn is coming, and truth will eventually overcome evil!" Finally, he shouted: "Fire can't conquer me, and the future world will know me and know my value." Although Bruno died heroically in the raging fire, he firmly and bravely defended his ideal. The result of his sacrifice was finally witnessed by history: his theory was proved to be true, which changed the whole world and promoted the development of human society.

Here, the contradiction between Bruno's ideal and reality has experienced a long-term development process, first the struggle of contradictions, and then the identity of contradictions. This is because the struggle and identity of contradictions are combined in the development of things. Only under different conditions, the status of the two will be different, which may be the main aspect or the secondary aspect.

To sum up, it can be seen from the case analysis of college students' employment and scholars that the contradiction between college students' ideals and reality is absolute and relatively unified. As college students in the new era, we should master the contradiction analysis method and look at problems with dialectical materialism: reality is the foundation and cradle of ideals. Without reality, the ideal becomes water without a source and a tree without a root. Ideal is higher than reality, which is the sublimation of reality, but it is not divorced from reality. "Only by combining with this world can our ideals bear fruit; Without this world, ideals cannot bear fruit. " -Bertrand Russell (British philosopher) Reality needs generations of young people with ideals to create. It is many lofty ideals put into practice that have promoted the continuous progress of society.

Ideal and reality coexist, set up lofty ideals, grasp the general trend of reality, and life will surely be brilliantly interpreted in our generation of college students!
