Why is friendliness the basic requirement of civic moral construction?

Why friendliness is the basic requirement of civic moral construction is as follows:

The original meaning of friendliness is to be kind as a friend. Kindness is not only a noble personal virtue, but also an important civic moral standard, which plays an indispensable role in maintaining harmonious relations among members of society.

In the process of market economy operation, competitive pressure inevitably leads to interpersonal tension and various social contradictions emerge one after another. Cultivating and practicing socialist friendly values can undoubtedly provide a solid value foundation for alleviating social contradictions, maintaining social order and promoting social harmony.

Friendship comes from people's pursuit of beautiful values.

Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher, divided friendship into three types: good friendship, useful friendship and happy friendship, and thought that good friendship was stable and lasting and worth pursuing. In this sense, "friendliness" means people's self-moral projection to others, that is, discovering the moral similarity between others and themselves.

Being "friendly" to others is essentially a compliment to his excellent quality. In this regard, the occurrence of "friendliness" is based on people's pursuit of virtue. In the traditional culture of our country, "friendliness" also shows a similar connotation to Aristotle. Confucius put forward that "the benevolent loves others", while Mencius emphasized being kind to others, and its connotation lies in helping others realize it with the principle of kindness.

Therefore, "friendliness" is not a skill of building interpersonal relationships, but mutual promotion and help between people in order to realize good values. As a citizen's moral standard, friendliness essentially refers to a friendly and kind civic ethical relationship and civic order.

Kindness is the basic moral standard for dealing with citizen relations.

Being friendly, as a basic moral norm in dealing with citizen relations, is inherent in citizen relations. In clan society, consanguinity is the main basis for members of society to contact each other. In modern society, citizen relations have become the fundamental connection between social members and their lives.

With the development of society, especially the further refinement of social division of labor, friendliness, as a basic moral norm of citizens, means that citizens must establish a sense of public interest, and not only care about the realization of their own interests, but also bring others into their own vision in social life.

As a kind of public morality, friendliness requires people to define the boundaries between self-rights and the rights of others, so as to safeguard both self-rights and the rights of others.

Kindness is the basic moral quality that every citizen should possess.

Citizenship determines that any citizen is not a separate existence. Every citizen must interact with other citizens, and only by interacting with each other can he realize his own value. Citizens need to meet their own needs in life, but there are contradictions and even conflicts between personal interests.

If there is no friendly moral quality, it will be difficult for citizens to cross the gap of differences and contradictions, and life will become very difficult. As a basic moral quality of citizens, friendliness points to others as well as to oneself. Having a kind heart and being a kind person is the premise of being friendly. The process of transmitting goodwill to others is "friendliness".

Therefore, friendliness is also a moral gesture for citizens to enter social life. Friendly quality urges people to seek mutual recognition in public life, actively fulfill their obligations to each other, and narrow the distance with goodwill.

Friendly is the ethical order to establish and maintain a harmonious society.

Kindness is the lubricant of social life and the ethical order of establishing and maintaining a harmonious society. First of all, friendship maintains equality among citizens. Aristotle once pointed out that equality is an inherent feature of friendship. Friendship is based on the equality of subject status, and both sides have the same requirements and wishes.

Secondly, friendship keeps the sincerity between citizens. Kindness is not an accidental emotion, but a stable moral connection. In this regard, citizens treat each other sincerely and establish an ethical order of mutual love and trust. Third, friendship maintains mutual assistance among citizens.

Friendship is not based on mutual benefit, but through friendly contact, citizens further consolidate the relationship of mutual assistance. In mutual assistance among citizens, everyone treats each other as equals, and no citizen is in a priority or weak position because of giving or receiving help.
