Why is moral education so difficult?

There are several answers to why moral education is so difficult:

1, the change of social environment challenges the goal and content of moral education. Under the background of economic globalization, cultural diversification and educational internationalization, western values are deepening, and the traditional basic morality and moral education objectives and contents in China will be severely challenged. The diversification of moral education values has become an inevitable trend of the times, and the value subjects and standards are also diversified, and the individual-oriented consciousness of primary and secondary school students is getting stronger and stronger.

For example, it will make some people's national consciousness weak and lose their sense of identity with national traditions. With the development of market economy, decadent ideas such as money worship, hedonism, individualism and various negative corruption phenomena affect and corrode young students with weak discrimination ability.

2. The development of science and technology challenges the methods and means of moral education. With the development of science and technology and information technology, the Internet has become an important media influencing the political, economic, cultural and educational fields in China. The development of network not only provides us with a lot of advanced information and promotes the communication between teachers and students, but also poses a severe challenge to moral education.

On the one hand, the way of moral education is challenged, and the openness, richness and interaction of the network greatly reduce the amount of information that students receive from traditional channels such as classroom and television, and actively seek to explore new ways of moral education. On the other hand, with the advent of the network era, the traditional position of the subject of moral education in schools is challenged, and the authoritative position of moral education teachers is being broken. Schools and teachers are no longer the only factors leading the development and change of students' ideological and moral character.
