● What kind of values are there, what kind of behavior standards are there. Many countries in the world have their own core values. The construction of the core values of contemporary China servicemen is an important task to fulfill the historical mission entrusted to our army by the Party and the people.
The construction of contemporary China servicemen's core values is based on six factors: political, sublime, contemporary, functional, national and universal. Its core values can be summarized as: mission, loyalty, discipline and sacrifice. Mission is the core, loyalty is the premise, discipline is the condition, and sacrifice is the requirement.
To ensure high fighting spirit and strong fighting capacity, an army must know what its core values are, because all actions of soldiers ultimately depend on its core values. Therefore, establishing and carrying forward the core values of contemporary China servicemen is very important for our army to fulfill its historical mission in the new century and new stage.
Constructing the core values of contemporary China soldiers is the requirement of fulfilling the historical mission.
Core values are the most basic, core and stable part of the whole value system, and are a set of fundamental principles that a person, a group and even a country and a nation adhere to for a long time. Core values are intangible and not mandatory, but once accepted by actors, they will enter unconsciousness, and then form the intrinsic value judgment and behavior direction of actors.
In the past, when we received ideological and political education, no one told us what core values were, especially during the war, officers and men were not educated in the name of core values. Our army still has high morale and strong fighting capacity. Why do we propose to build military core values today? It should be said that this is determined by the inherent laws of military development and the requirements of the times.
First, the influence of times change and social transformation, and the expansion of military mission and task determine the construction of core values. From the perspective of ideological construction and spiritual casting, our army faces two major challenges: first, how to shape the mainstream spirit in the era of pluralistic values; The other is that the mission and tasks of the army have expanded. To ensure a high standard of mission, it is necessary to improve the ability of hard strike and stimulate the fighting spirit of officers and men, which undoubtedly needs the support of core values including ideals and beliefs.
Second, the development and change of audience's cognitive ability and cognitive law promote the construction of core values. People's understanding always rises from sensibility to rationality until they become conscious. During the war, due to the low cultural level of officers and men, their understanding and acceptance of political ideas mainly came from the words and deeds of people around them. Today, with the diversification of social values and the general enhancement of officers and men's ability to accept and think rationally, only by strengthening rational guidance on the basis of perceptual knowledge can we generate inexhaustible spiritual strength.
Third, the basic law of spiritual shaping and the scientific process of ideological and political education require the construction of core values. In terms of methods, it is very important to express an idea or spirit in a clear, easy-to-understand, concise, easy-to-remember and constant way if it wants to be more widely recognized and play a role of behavior orientation. Emphasizing the construction of the core values of contemporary China servicemen is precisely to give full play to its value function, further stimulate the fighting spirit of officers and men, and better fulfill our military's historical mission in the new century and new stage.
The core values of our army are different from those of western countries.
The armies of major countries in the world basically have clear core values. Comparatively speaking, the US military pays more attention to the construction of core values, and even services and colleges have their own core values. For example, the famous West Point Military Academy "Responsibility, Honor and Country". These core values are the content of their education and training to promote the formation of officers and men's character and the cultivation of fighting spirit. For another example, the French army emphasizes "discipline, loyalty and dedication", while the Indian army advocates "restraint, self-esteem, discipline and collective spirit", and so on. All these serve the army to perform its functions, and their characteristics are as follows: First, the political content contained in the core values is reflected in the way of patriotism, love for the system and love for life. The political thoughts instilled by the military in western countries are generally not reflected in party politics, but patriotism, love for the system and love for the way of life. Second, the core values are full of personal qualities and professional ethics. The armies of western countries are mostly professional, so they think that the cultivation of professional ethics is the basis of the formation of core values, and accordingly they have formulated many codes of conduct from the level of professional ethics. Third, bring religious concepts into the category of core values. It is a common practice for western troops to inspire the fighting spirit of officers and men with the help of religious beliefs. If the proportion of religious believers in the US military is as high as 95%, the US military clearly stipulates in the Code of Conduct for Members of the Armed Forces: "I believe in God and the United States of America."
Although the concept of clear core values has not been put forward in the past, it does not mean that our army has no real core values. Our army has long adhered to the basic content of the characteristics of core values, which is reflected in the nature, purpose and task of our army stipulated by the Constitution, laws and regulations on our army's political work. Including: "consolidate national defense, resist aggression, defend the motherland, safeguard the people's peaceful labor, participate in national construction, and strive to serve the people." "Unswervingly maintain the nature of the people's army and be loyal to the party, the people, the country and socialism." Adhere to "patriotism, collectivism, socialism and revolutionary heroism" and so on. Its characteristics are: first, it is closely related to the specific tasks of various historical periods and has a strong sense of the times. It will be clearly seen from the growth history of our army that the core value of this army is closely related to the goal set by the party, that is, the task of the party is the task of the army, and the pursuit of the value of the party is the direction of the army's efforts. Core values are directly reflected in the phased tasks. Second, political ideas dominate the trend of core values. For example, in the Red Army period, "fighting local tyrants to divide fields", in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, "the whole people resisted Japan", in the War of Liberation, "overthrowing Chiang Kai-shek and liberating all China" and in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, "defending the country and defending the country" all took class hatred and ethnic hatred as their value judgments and value orientations, forming a unique political ecology. Third, it emphasizes that individual interests are subordinate to collective interests, and self-sacrifice and partial sacrifice are exchanged for overall victory. This is related to the traditional culture of China and the values of our party and army. In a certain sense, the value concept of our party is to serve the people. Under the absolute leadership of the party, the people's army, which aims at achieving the goals set by the party, undoubtedly has the same value judgment and choice as the party.
The Core Values of Contemporary Soldiers in China
It is not easy to abstract the values and political ideas followed by a group and form the core values according to the principles of conciseness, clarity, easy to remember, profundity and large ideological capacity. The main difficulty is not whether there is a clear formulation in the past or whether there is ideological accumulation. The key is what our core values are based on. Only by clarifying this point can the original accumulated ideological or spiritual essence be easily grasped and abstracted. The author believes that the establishment of the core values of contemporary China soldiers must meet six basic elements.
Politics. The army belongs to the category of superstructure, which safeguards the fundamental interests of the country and the people. Compared with the armies of western countries, our army has a prominent feature, that is, it requires higher political quality. Always position yourself as "the army of the party, the army of the people, and the army of socialist countries", and clearly stipulate that the party should adhere to the absolute leadership of the army. Therefore, we must embody the party's political ideas when establishing core values. Only in this way can we ensure that we do not deviate from the correct political direction.
Lofty because the core values belong to the most fundamental category of the spiritual world advocated by the mainstream society, and the military's professional characteristics determine that it must be willing to pay blood and life to fulfill its mission. Therefore, without lofty dedication and self-sacrifice, it will be impossible to obtain strong spiritual support only by following the principles of equal exchange and maximum interests in the market economy. Therefore, to ensure that the established core values can support this sacrifice, we must inject lofty spiritual factors into the core values.
Time magazine. The adjustment and solution of core values is the most essential and lasting spiritual core of a single individual or group, which determines that the establishment of core values should not stick to the goals and tasks of the period, but should focus on the fundamental functions and essential characteristics of the army. Nevertheless, to ensure that the core values established by our army are realistic and play a role, it is obviously necessary to focus on the missions and tasks entrusted by the ruling party in a certain period, that is, to reflect the goals, tasks and requirements of a period into the core values.
Our army is an armed group under the absolute leadership of the party and serves political tasks. We cannot have an independent task that transcends the interests of the country and the nation. Only by adhering to its functions, positioning and obeying in its functions can this army consciously resist the influence of erroneous ideological trends such as "non-party, non-political and nationalization of the army" and always adhere to the nature, true colors and style of the people's army.
Nationality. Every nation has a unique cultural tradition and spiritual accumulation. The establishment of core values must be based on national cultural traditions. This is more important and prominent than a nation with a long cultural heritage and profound spiritual accumulation. In the long history of the Chinese nation, there is a very prominent moral quality, that is, righteousness, giving one's life for the country and forgetting one's death. Therefore, the outstanding cultural factors and spiritual characteristics surging in the national blood should be reflected in the core values of contemporary soldiers.
Universality. The most distinctive thread in the whole human culture is military culture. Although there are differences among nations, this culture is not unique to a single nation. To be sure, all armies have a high demand for spiritual elements such as courage and sacrifice. Therefore, to build our army's core values, we need to absorb the outstanding spiritual factors accumulated in the history of world army building that can be used by us.
Based on the above analysis, the core values established by contemporary China soldiers should be: mission, loyalty, discipline and sacrifice. Mission and loyalty solve identity orientation, while discipline and sacrifice solve how to achieve this orientation. Further distinction, mission is the core, loyalty is the premise, discipline is the condition and sacrifice is the requirement.
Mission. The sense of mission is an important difference between our army and the army of western countries. Most western countries don't give the military tasks from the political point of view, but the "mission view" extended from the political sense can only belong to an armed group that carries out political tasks under the absolute leadership of our party. Our army has long insisted on taking the party's banner as the banner and taking the party's goal as the goal, and has proved its truth in practice. This determines that mission consciousness must be an important part of core values. Entering the new stage of the new century, the functions and tasks of our army have changed in connotation and extension, that is, we strive to achieve "three supplies and one dozen" However, the nature of our army has not changed, and the sense of mission must not change. Only by establishing the concept of mission can the vast number of officers and men produce their inner spiritual demands and spiritual motivation for a long time.
Loyalty. Any country emphasizes the loyalty of the army, and even regards loyalty as the most basic and important professional quality and moral standard to distinguish an army and its members. But who is loyal to and how to practice this loyalty is very different in different armies. Although the core of military loyalty in western countries is loyalty to the country, this requirement is more reflected in the category of professional ethics. In order to ensure this loyalty, religious spirit is even injected into it. What we call loyalty is a concept with richer political connotation and wider content. For example, we have long emphasized "loyalty to the party, loyalty to the people, loyalty to the country and loyalty to socialism." It is particularly noteworthy that this loyalty is not only manifested in the adjustment of ideas, but also based on the growth history of our army, the political system of the country and the way to realize the fundamental interests of the people.
Discipline. Discipline is the life of the army and an important guarantee for the generation of combat effectiveness. Throughout the history of military development at home and abroad, the establishment and implementation of iron discipline is regarded as an important principle for building the army. Taking discipline as an integral part of core values is not only the requirement of the basic law of army building, but also has unique political connotation. As early as the Red Army period, Mao Zedong personally formulated the "Three Disciplines and Eight Notices", which later developed into a fine tradition of our army. It should be recognized that what kind of discipline is formulated is not only reflected in the group's code of conduct, but also reflects the group's political philosophy, because who will enforce the discipline, which group's interests will be safeguarded by the discipline, and what kind of political purpose the discipline will achieve will be reflected differently in different armies. Only when every member of our army regards discipline as the core value, abides by discipline and strictly binds himself with discipline can we ensure the political quality and direction of our army, and can we make military orders like mountains, prohibit actions, go forward bravely, and dare and be willing to make sacrifices under discipline.
Sacrifice. Compared with various social classes and groups, the sacrifice of soldiers is unconditional and the most thorough. For example, whether people in every social class are desperate in the face of death is more a moral advocacy than a legal and disciplinary compulsion, but soldiers are different. As long as it is for the benefit of the country and the people, as long as the military orders are issued and you know that you are facing death, you must be brave enough to pounce on death. The sacrifice of soldiers is extensive and clear-cut, which cannot be avoided and can only be borne. On the one hand, it is also significantly different from the western army. Western troops also need to sacrifice on the battlefield, but because the society regards the army and soldiers as occupations, there is no need to pay sacrifices outside the law. In short, the mainstream spirit and core values of any country emphasize the sublime, and what can be created must be sacrificed. However, regarding sacrifice as the soul of a group, it is this spirit of self-sacrifice that makes our army brilliant.
