According to a survey, more than two thirds of people in China agree that, the public moral level is lower than before. This figure, although hard to accept, has indicated the fact that the nation’s overall morality is declining. If you pay some attention, you could easily point out some improper behaviors happening around: young men refusing to give seats to the old on buses; shoppers jamming into queue instead of waiting in line; crude riders neglecting red lights, etc. So what the hell is going on?
As analysts have figured out, this trend of degradation mainly originated from faulty education. For decades, Chinese schools simply infuse bookish knowledge to their students, whilst moral cultivation becomes a kind of formalism; on the other hand, children are naturally influenced by their family and other adults in the society, most of whom are too sophisticated to be considered as eligible moral models.
Facing such disappointing condition, you may ask: how can things become better? As far as I am concerned, we must following these three steps. First of all: self-shaping. We should manage ourselves well, and try to shape our own morality as perfect as possible. The second step: family-shaping, which is to behave as the model for your children and improve their moral status through strict discipline. The third: If you are leading people, such as being a manager or national president, you could reinforce your whole organization’s moral situation with policy and your own action. Even if you’re no leader, you’ll have a positive impact on the society if only you manage yourself well and try to influence others as much as possible.
一項調查顯示,超過三分之二的人認為,在中國,公眾的道德水平比以前低。這個數字,雖然難以接受,表明這個國家的整體道德正在下降。如果你支付一些關注,你可以很容易地指出一些不當行為發生:年輕人拒絕把座位給老人在公共汽車上,購物者干擾到佇列,而不是排隊等候;原油騎手忽視紅燈,等。那么到底是怎么回事?
分析人士指出,這一趨勢的退化主要源於錯誤的教育。幾十年來,中國的學校只是注入書生氣的知識給學生,同時道德培養成為一種形式主義;另一方面,孩子們自然受到家人和其他成年人的社會,大多數人太複雜的道德模型被認為是合格的。
面對這種令人失望的情況,你可能會問:如何成為更好的事情嗎?就我而言,我們必須遵循這些三個步驟。首先:self-shaping。我們應該管理好,努力塑造我們自己的道德儘可能完美。第二步:family-shaping,這是為你的孩子像模型通過嚴格的紀律和提高他們的道德地位。第三:如果你是領先的人,比如作為一個經理或者國家總統,你可以加強你的整個組織的道德形勢與政策和自己的行動。即使你沒有領導人,你就會對社會產生積極的影響如果只有你自己管理自己,試圖儘可能多地影響他人。
