Technology is the key to social development, which is one of the inspirations of TV. The more people master science and technology, the stronger their ability to control nature and the more developed their society, which is the inevitable law of the development of human society. The history of human development shows that the primary factor to promote the development of human society from low level to high level is the development of productive forces, while the development of science and technology is the primary factor. So science and technology are the key to social development.
The establishment of a social, political and economic system suitable for China's national conditions is the guarantee of social development, which is the second inspiration given to me by TV. More than a hundred years ago, American artillery opened the closed door of Japan; How similar is this to the situation in China? The Japanese can quickly realize the rigidity of the shogunate system and change the state system into a constitutional monarchy with the emperor in power. When the emperor of China was still in the Forbidden City, he not only sent a large number of overseas students to study abroad, but also personally visited developed countries in Europe. In the end, Japan made a wise choice, left Asia, joined the European powers, and found a partner for its rise. Japan's century-long reform has made it the third largest economy in the world, and Japan's experience as a powerful country is most worth learning from China. The development history of China's socialist society has experienced an era from planned economy to market economy. Practice shows that only by establishing a social, political and economic system suitable for China's specific national conditions can social development be effective.
The cultural education of human society is the factor and foundation of social development, which is the third inspiration given to me by TV. Economic development determines the training goal, quality and running mode of education, but education will also have a far-reaching impact on economic and social development. Education can change the quality of workers, thus improving their competitiveness and promoting economic growth; Education can promote the development of science and technology and transform science and technology into real productive forces as soon as possible; Education can change people's income distribution. Therefore, it is very necessary to establish a strategy of giving priority to developing education and rejuvenating the country through science and education, and take education reform as a new economic growth point and a supporting factor for economic development. Japan, which was originally behind European and American countries, not only caught up with, but also surpassed European and American countries, and maintained its position as the largest creditor country for more than ten years. The reason is that Japan attaches importance to the culture and education of its people, so that people's talents are respected, confrontation is eliminated, and people can unite and advance hand in hand, thus promoting great social progress.
"Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall." This is an excerpt from a conversation between Li Shimin and Kevin·Z more than 300 years ago. Our ancestors told us long ago that we should take history as a mirror, avoid going the wrong way and take fewer detours. China people who have experienced the reform and opening up, with the wisdom accumulated in 5,000 years, have learned to break through all kinds of troubles and just want to develop themselves and abandon unnecessary ideological shackles. China's road to great power will surely move forward steadily!
Germany
The history of Germany has experienced many twists and turns. Its rise came late, but it surprised the whole world as soon as it appeared. Because it is far ahead of France in population, gross national product, steel output, coal output and railway mileage, second only to Britain, which has dominated Europe for a century. Germany has developed from the desperate situation of national subjugation to a world-renowned power, and has taken various measures, the most important of which is to attach great importance to the cultivation of national quality as the basis of national rejuvenation. Marshal Mao Qi, who defeated France and captured the French emperor, once said: "The victory of Prussia has long been decided on the podium of primary school teachers."
What impresses me most is that at 1820, German children can already learn about nature in the classroom. They know people and things on five continents, and they know the pattern of the world. Zettel is located in the northernmost part of Germany, near Denmark. 180 years ago, this was the most remote and backward village in Prussia. Today, keitel Primary School is still a place for children in small towns to study. It is also a primary school museum that preserves the original appearance of Prussia, Germany. At that time, the children already knew what the Great Wall of China was like tens of thousands of kilometers away from them. Children can also learn about different races and different living environments living on five continents; In the primary school laboratory, they can get in touch with the latest natural science knowledge. This curriculum records the courses offered to primary school students at that time: world geography, nature, arithmetic, German, calligraphy, religion and gymnastics. It is almost free for students to attend school, mainly in the form of payment in kind, but they will be punished for not attending school. The school also kept detailed records of that year.
What is even more surprising is that 1850, Germany established a free compulsory education system. In Prussia, education is regarded as a necessary obligation of citizens as well as military service, and the state must provide citizens with opportunities for education. Free education began in the middle of19th century. On the eve of German reunification, the enrollment rate of school-age children reached 97.5%.
From the beginning, the younger generation should learn to live not only for themselves, but also for the whole nation. As early as the invasion of Napoleon's army, King William III of Prussia pointed out the way out for Germany. He said: "This country must use spiritual strength to make up for the physical loss. It is because of poverty that education is needed. I have never heard of a country with poor education and the country is ruined. "
While popularizing education, Prussia has established a modern university with equal emphasis on teaching and scientific research. When Prussia was still paying huge war reparations to Napoleon, Humboldt University in Berlin was born. The king took out his last possessions and donated the luxurious king's uterus as a university building. At the same time, he also accepted a request put forward by the university that the state must give material support to teaching and scientific research activities, but must not interfere with education and academic activities, and at the same time have the guarantee and full freedom of the state, which has made German scientists. I now understand why Germany has the largest number of philosophers and scientists in the world. There are many black and white photos in the corridor of the main building of Humboldt University in Berlin. They are all professors who have made important achievements in various fields, and 29 of them have the same identity: Nobel Prize winners. Scientists in these German universities all call themselves "German scientists". The significance of this concept, as Wagner, a famous composer, said, is that scientists, out of their own will, put aside all their personal interests and devote themselves to scientific research and participate in this work. This dedication is the key reason for Germany's rise as a world power.
The rise of a country can always make a great man, or a great man may make a country rise. This man is Bismarck of Germany. He is called "Prime Minister of Iron Blood". He used the idea of bloody war to make Prussia grow rapidly, and then, driven by economic interests, quickly unified Germany. Bismarck, the bloody prime minister, struggled to survive in the cracks of European powers. After making full preparations in diplomacy, Germany was finally unified by three foreign wars in 187 1. He followed the principle of balance among European powers and brought valuable space for the peaceful development of Germany. Vigorously develop education, create a grand scientific and technological team, and pay attention to introducing foreign advanced technology. From 1950 to 1970, the number of college students in the Federal Republic of Germany increased from 100339 to 41951,and the average number of college students per 10,000 residents increased from 2 1 to 67.9. In addition to formal school education, the Federal Republic of Germany also attaches great importance to employees' amateur education, stipulating that middle school graduates who no longer enter colleges and universities will enjoy legal leisure days to receive formal curriculum education within three years. Higher education is an important means of production and reproduction of scientific and technological knowledge. Education, philosophy and science play an important role in Germany. European universities with modern significance have emerged in Germany, which has become a model for many other European countries, the University of Berlin founded by Humboldt. Colleges and universities are the main force of basic research and interdisciplinary research, and also play an increasingly important role in applied research.
In the process of modernization in Germany, education, science and universities have played an important role. Germany lags behind Britain in the process of industrialization, but it has embarked on the road of modernization in its own unique way. National education has trained high-quality citizens for Germany, universities have brought creativity and inventiveness to Germany, and intelligence has become the most important resource of this country. With this resource, Germany led the second industrial revolution in the19th century and stood at the forefront of the world's scientific and technological development. Many important inventions in the electrical age were born in Germany. From 185 1 to 1900, Germany has made 202 major scientific and technological innovations and inventions, surpassing the sum of Britain and France, ranking second in the world. Until today, Germany is still one of the most important scientific and technological powers in the world.
187 1 In the forty years after reunification, the German economy has made rapid progress. Germany's coal and steel production ranks first in Europe; The total output of chemical products ranks first in the world; By 19 10, Germany's total industrial output value exceeded all European countries.
On the basis of science and education, Bismarck found a development model that the underdeveloped countries catch up with the advanced countries: the state is regarded as a powerful force to promote economic development, the state formulates policies and laws to guide the direction of economic operation, and the earliest social welfare system in the world is established with the strength of the state. These measures overcome the disadvantages of the free market economy advocated by Britain to a certain extent, thus providing new choices for some underdeveloped countries on the road of development.
The two world wars launched by Germany wrote the darkest and most painful page in the history of human civilization, and countless lives and homes perished in the catastrophe of the war. This is a history that the whole world will not forget and will not forget. And how to look at their own unbearable past is a test that this once irrational nation must face. The ghosts of 6 million Jews killed in World War II are waiting, and injured Europe and the world are waiting. 1970 On a cold winter day, the newly appointed German Federal Chancellor Brandt came to the Jewish Monument in Warsaw, Poland. During World War II, 2.5 million Jews in Poland were tortured in concentration camps and finally died. In the cold wind, Brandt walked step by step to the grave of the victims. Under the eyes of the whole world, the heroic anti-Nazi fighter in World War II made an action that shocked everyone: he fell to the ground. A reporter wrote: "He didn't have to do this. He knelt for all those who had to kneel but didn't. " The Germans sincerely accepted the heavy side of their history. They discussed but did not argue fiercely, did not deny that they started the Second World War, did not shirk their responsibility for the Jewish Holocaust, and did not deny that they endured the Nazi dictatorship of 12 years. Looking back on their mistakes sincerely has helped the Germans greatly ease the difficulties of national rejuvenation. Brandt knelt down and Germany stood up. After World War II, the Federal Republic of Germany began to pay huge reparations to victims and their survivors who were persecuted by German fascists. The education department regards fascist violence as the central content of history textbooks, emphasizing that "the key task is to educate the next generation" and "it is our duty to prevent the recurrence of historical tragedies".
Germany, which has the courage to shoulder historical responsibility, has returned to the embrace of Europe and the world stage.
199010/on October 3rd, the goddess of peace at Brandenburg Gate once again witnessed the fate of the country, and Germany, which had been divided for 4 1 year, was reunified. This day is designated as Germany's National Day.
Germany was reunified again, not with blood and iron, but in a peaceful environment like 120 years ago, the Germans once again created an economic miracle. After two world wars, this country has developed into the world's third largest economic power after the United States and Japan through the efforts of a generation. As an important member of the European Union, it has also found a way to strengthen itself by revitalizing Europe. Germany, where is it? Perhaps, the persistent search for nearly two centuries has already had the answer. In this long search, the great sadness and joy experienced not only became the collective memory of the German nation, but also wrote an unforgettable history for the rising and rising powers.
Then, should our country also look at economic development from our cultural traditions and education?
First of all, it is an indisputable fact that the proportion of our population receiving basic education and higher education is obviously lower than that of developed countries. Both the rise of western powers and the rapid recovery after the defeat of Germany and Japan benefited from a strong educational foundation. However, there is a big gap between us in this respect. First, the education popularization rate is low, and second, the education effect is not good. On the one hand, college students can't find jobs, on the other hand, there is a shortage of talents in backward areas.
Secondly, the level of re-education is low. Our talents are often not compound. If you can't do one line, you can't do anything else, and you don't want to learn new skills. You can only be laid off and go home. In some provinces, there are few libraries in both towns and villages, but mahjong halls abound. Playing mahjong has become the "traditional culture" of the Chinese nation. People gamble whenever they have time, but they don't want to buy two books to read.
Our nation urgently needs to establish a harmonious, healthy and advanced culture and advocate the concepts of science, rationality and legality, otherwise it will be unable to resist and eliminate feudal, decadent and ignorant cultures and vulgar customs. Old China could not be strong because there was no advanced culture; Kuomintang reactionaries can't beat the * * * production party because there is no healthy culture; Later, we made mistakes in the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution because of the lack of science and a culture of rule of law. Without culture and cultural education that keeps pace with the times, even if China becomes strong and a world power in the future, it will decline again like some big countries in the past. If China wants to develop further, it needs the development of our education and the emergence of talents!
the Soviet Union
During the October Revolution, Russia suffered a peasant uprising and became a socialist Soviet Union. At that time, the Soviet Union was a country with large territory and small strength, which was not recognized by other countries.
In the early days of the Soviet socialist revolution, farmers were very dissatisfied because the state asked them to supply food for free. Lenin had to change the national policy, allowing farmers to trade freely, and farmers naturally supported it.
Thanks to Lenin's measures, the economy of the Soviet Union has recovered a lot. After Lenin opened the free market economy, he added "socialist market economy" to "socialism" and thoroughly developed the national economy of the Soviet Union. This country is gradually recognized by some countries.
Ford, the American automobile king, first established an automobile factory in the fertile soil of the Soviet Union and put a large number of "Model T cars" on the market. Shortly after the first world war, the output of this kind of car reached 1 10,000.
During the rapid development of the Soviet Union, Stalin inherited Lenin's career, and the last thing the Soviet Union wanted to see finally happened-World War II, which inevitably came to this country.
During World War II, the Soviet Union lost tens of thousands of troops from the beginning because of the German attack. However, the industrial development of the Soviet Union should not be underestimated. The Soviet Union produces twice as many weapons, planes and tanks as the German army does every day! The Soviet Union had to yield to these overwhelming factors.
World War II made the Soviet Union, making the country with the largest land area in the world a world power.
