A speech on the concept of honor and disgrace

Student: Hello, everyone!

The topic of my speech today is "Learn to be a man by knowing honor and disgrace".

At the just-concluded two sessions, when discussing social morality, the four most frequently used words were "eight honors and eight disgraces".

"Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" was put forward by General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, president and Hu Jintao, Chairman of the Central Military Commission, when they visited the members attending the Fourth Session of the 10th CPPCC on March 4th. Comrade Hu Jintao said: In our socialist society, the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and ugliness cannot be confused. We must take a clear-cut stand on what we stand for, what we oppose, what we advocate and what we resist. We should guide the broad masses of cadres and people, especially teenagers, to establish a socialist concept of honor and disgrace.

Proud of loving the motherland and ashamed of endangering the motherland; Be proud of serving the people and ashamed of deviating from the people;

Proud of advocating science and ashamed of ignorance; Proud of hard work, ashamed of leisure, and disgusted with work;

Be proud of unity and mutual assistance, and be ashamed of harming others and benefiting themselves; Be proud of honesty and trustworthiness, and be ashamed of forgetting righteousness;

Be proud of obeying the law and discipline, and be ashamed of violating the law and discipline; Be proud of hard work, be ashamed of arrogance and extravagance.

After the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" was put forward, it attracted wide attention from representatives from all walks of life. For more than ten days, people from all walks of life have been discussing this topic enthusiastically. It is understood that General Secretary Hu Jintao's speech on "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" has provided a yardstick for guiding the whole society to abide by the basic moral norms and for us, especially young people, to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values. It is not only an incisive summary of the traditional morality of the Chinese nation, but also gives it distinctive characteristics of the times, organically combining traditional virtues with the spirit of the times. "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" is concise, easy to understand and rich in connotation. Generally speaking, the concept of honor and disgrace is people's fundamental view of "honor" and "shame". It is determined by people's world outlook, values and outlook on life. The ancients said, "Shameless and evil, inhuman." Therefore, knowing right and wrong, knowing honor and disgrace, and debating beauty and ugliness are important standards for people to be human. Gong Zizhen, a thinker in the Qing Dynasty, said: "If all scholars know shame, then the country will never be ashamed; Shameless is a great shame for the country. "It can be seen that personal sense of honor and shame is not only a sign of human nature, but also related to the nation and the country. Therefore, it is very important to establish a correct concept of honor and disgrace from the individual to the whole nation, country and society.

Since the correct concept of honor and disgrace is so important, we must understand its essence.

Proud of loving the motherland. In the long-term life, people have formed deep feelings for the country and nation that have raised themselves from generation to generation, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has experienced internal and external troubles. One of the important reasons why it can still stand on its own feet among the nations of the world today and continue to grow and develop is that generations of people with lofty ideals have made unremitting efforts and even devoted themselves to the country, and the patriotic spirit and national integrity of "fighting for the country's life and death, avoiding disasters and happiness" have been continuously passed down. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has regarded loyalty to the motherland and love for the nation as the fundamental and important festival for being a man. Those who love the motherland and make great achievements for the interests of the motherland and the nation will go down in history and be revered and praised by generation after generation. Loving the motherland has been enshrined in the Constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC), which is the minimum morality and consciousness that every member and citizen of every nation should have. Specifically, every ethnic group member should be loyal to his country, nation and people from thought to words and deeds; Love the mountains and rivers of the motherland, defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the motherland and safeguard the dignity of national sovereignty; Love the people of the motherland and the fine traditions and culture of the Chinese nation; Love the peaceful reunification of the motherland, safeguard the great unity of all ethnic groups, and oppose all acts of ethnic division and undermining the reunification of the motherland; I love the construction of the motherland, care about the future, destiny and prosperity of the country, and contribute my intelligence to the great cause of the reunification of the motherland and the four modernizations until my life.

Be proud of serving the people. When our grandparents opened Chairman Mao's "Serving the People", there was always a feeling of admiration that would reverberate in our hearts. Before liberation, our martyrs gave their lives to achieve the same goal, and established a new China where the people were masters of their own affairs. They died for the people, heavier than Mount Tai, though dead! More than 50 years after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), when the baton reached the hands of our younger generation, serving the people was not limited to giving our lives, it has been reflected in all aspects of our work and life. Generally speaking, to serve the people, we should adhere to the party's principles and policies, fully implement them every minute, inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of our predecessors, give full play to our own specialties, and make contributions to the socialist cause; From a small point of view: serving the people means caring for everyone around you and helping those in need. The times are changing and the center of serving the people has not changed; The society is developing, but the idea of serving the people should never be changed.

Proud of advocating science. This shows that only scientific things are the most authentic, correct, reliable, noble and glorious. Take the country's economic construction and development as an example, we can't do it without development, if it develops slowly, or if it develops too fast. We should pay attention to the law of scientific development, persist in seeking truth from facts, proceed from reality and do what we can. With the development of national economic construction, everyone should do this, which should be the common thought of the whole nation. Comrade Mao Zedong once pointed out: "The masses are real heroes." I think teenagers are also a member of the public. Teenagers' scientific outlook is reflected in the process of respecting their studies.

Be proud of your hard work. Glorious labor creates people, wealth and happiness. This points out two aspects of a problem. First, no matter what job you are engaged in, people who work hard are glorious and should be respected by everyone and society; Whoever despises, despises, craves enjoyment and does not respect hard work is wrong and shameful, and should be criticized and blamed by everyone. At the same time, it also points out that people who work hard are not only glorious, but also glorious to cherish and respect their achievements. Any behavior that does not cherish and respect the work and achievements of hard workers is extremely shameful and should be condemned by all people and society.

Proud of unity and mutual assistance. The truth that "unity is strength" applies to any group, nation, country and society. Unity is a comprehensive and all-round issue, which concerns you and me, the country, the overall situation, the future and development, and everyone's fate and honor. It is everyone's duty, everyone's benefit and everyone's responsibility to do a good job of unity. We should start from mutual assistance. Only unity, not mutual assistance, can not be truly United; Without mutual assistance, without mutual assistance and without mutual assistance, there can be no unity. Unity is strength, unity is the goal, unity is the direction, mutual assistance is the foundation, mutual assistance is the premise and mutual assistance is the driving force.

Be proud of being honest and trustworthy. What is honesty? Farmers say that honesty is the fruitful fruit of autumn; The teacher said that honesty is the pure feeling like white jade between teachers and students; Workers say that honesty is to produce products with high quality and good price with hard work. In a word, honesty is the foundation of personal existence and the root of national survival. Looking back on the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, we will find that stories based on honesty and trustworthiness abound. Taking history as a mirror, honesty is the foundation of our existence, Xiu De and handling affairs, and it is also a symbol of the degree of social civilization. Honesty is very important to a person, but it is more important to a country. People who don't believe don't know what they can do. A dishonest individual is a dangerous thing in society, and a dishonest nation is the sorrow of this country.

Be proud of obeying the law. With the development of society, the role of law is becoming more and more important, and the relationship with people's production and life is getting closer and closer. Middle school students should know the law. Only by studying and understanding the law can we establish the concept of democracy and legal system, clarify the rights and obligations of citizens, act according to law, safeguard our own rights and interests, and become qualified citizens to meet the needs of social development. Middle school students should abide by the law and discipline, and develop good code of conduct and moral cultivation. Abiding by the law is not only a respect for the rights and interests of others, but also a protection of one's own rights and interests. The two are consistent. Strengthen the consciousness of handling affairs according to law, regard obeying the law as their basic obligation, and regard it as the concrete embodiment of respecting social morality.

Be proud of your hard work. Diligence is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, with a long history and civilization. For thousands of years, in the struggle to transform society, the hardworking and brave people of China have created and promoted the spirit of hard struggle. Hard work is the mental state and behavioral quality of working people who are not afraid of difficulties and hardships and dare to fight against nature. It is reflected in the political, economic, cultural and ideological fields, and reflects people's world outlook, values and outlook on life. In the ancient legends of China, "Jing Wei fills the sea", "Yu Gong removes mountains" and "Da Yu controls water" are allusions that vividly show the spirit of hard struggle of the Chinese nation. To carry forward the spirit of hard struggle, we should establish the concepts of hard work, simplicity and thrift. For young students, it is especially necessary to establish a correct concept of labor, cultivate a good moral character of diligence and thrift, and put an end to bad consumption habits.

In short, the concept of honor and disgrace is a fine virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times and an ideological treasure of the Chinese nation. The generalization of "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces", from patriotism to unity and friendship, from obeying the law to advocating morality, from loving science to being diligent and honest, requires not only inheriting and consolidating glorious traditions, but also creating and developing modern civilization. Both the inheritance of Chinese civilization and the absorption of world civilization; There is not only the requirement of abandoning uncivilized behavior, but also the requirement of observing civilized behavior. It focuses on the overall development of contemporary China, faces the future of the Chinese nation, closely links with the outstanding problems existing in the current social atmosphere, absorbs the essence of China's traditional concept of honor and disgrace, and has strong nationality, times and practicality.

Yesterday, representatives of members of our school and students from wind bands, dance troupes and drama clubs participated in the practical activities on the theme of "learning to be a person sharing weal and woe in Dongcheng District". At the initiative of the congress, they vowed to take "love the motherland, serve the people, advocate science, work hard, unite and help each other, be honest and trustworthy, abide by the law and work hard" as their life criterion.

Dear students, let's join this ranks, because we are the future of the motherland and shoulder the historical responsibility of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We should let the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and socialist moral norms take root deeply in our minds and become codes of conduct and moral norms. We are also a young group in society. We should firmly establish the socialist concept of honor and disgrace in our study and life, and make it our own spiritual pursuit and code of conduct.

Students, let's act together! Strive to cultivate yourself into a modern civilized person with "China heart" and strive to cultivate yourself into a qualified socialist builder and successor. material
