How should a healthy society treat idols?

Middle school students are the main force of idol worship. Girls worship male stars more and boys worship female stars more. A key proofreader made a questionnaire survey of 900 students in the whole school. In the question of "Who do you admire most", 86% of the students filled in the question of "film and television singer". A selection activity was held in a certain area about the "Top Ten Youth Idols" in the minds of teenagers. Among the idols selected by teenagers, pop singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan won 9 seats, and Andy Lau topped the list. Only Lei Feng is the only non-film singer among the contestants. The results of this survey shocked the society and made people think.

According to the psychological characteristics of teenagers, idolatry is one of the psychological characteristics of adolescence and a reflection of their psychological needs. As far as the law of life development stage is concerned, this phenomenon is not worth making a fuss about. Dialectically speaking, idolization has its positive side for teenagers, because forcing stars is a kind of social learning for teenagers. By observing and imitating stars, they have mastered a lot of knowledge about society and life, broadened their horizons and activated their thinking, especially their noble character. Can be a good role model for teenagers.

However, a few idolized people blindly worship their idols and imitate them to the point of madness, fever and fainting, which will have adverse consequences and do certain harm to their individuals and society. Some idolized people regard idols as spiritual pillars and live in a fantasy world all day, leading to psychological imbalance; Some idolized people chase and block stars in public places, in order to get their autographs, or crowd and shout desperately, which leads to public disorder and damage. Idolated people blindly fall in love with stars in idolization in order to seek happiness and spiritual sustenance, which shifts or reduces their interest in learning. They don't pay attention in class. The first thing they do when they go home is to listen to records and watch TV, but they don't study hard and finish their homework. Their academic performance is declining and even boring. Some students worship stars too much and suffer from idolized "dreaminess". They are all junior high school students and are fascinated by the worship of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars. In their spare time, they concentrate on listening to Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, wear headphones when eating and walking, and often listen to late at night. Major activities such as reading and homework have been abandoned. Soon, they are full of singers' shadows and fantasize that they can marry singers. They often suffer from insomnia, self-worry, headache, physical discomfort and psychological imbalance.

Teenagers idolatry has psychological, social and cultural reasons. For psychological reasons, adolescence is a "dream season" full of dreams and curiosity. During this period, they need to set some ideal examples in their hearts and worship them as idols in order to get spiritual support.

Once students are found to have idolized behavior, teachers and parents need not worry too much or interfere. What teachers and parents should do is to understand and guide. Understanding means that teachers and parents should know which stars students are interested in, what aspects they are interested in, their skills, manners and behaviors, or their clothes and lifestyles. Only after a comprehensive understanding can we grasp what stars students are chasing and what they are chasing. Guidance means that teachers and parents take necessary measures after understanding students' interests in idolatry. After all, teenagers are young and lack of social experience, and their ability to distinguish right from wrong and control rights is still gradually taking shape. At this time, they need the correct guidance most.

How to guide? One is to guide students to learn the excellent quality and superb skills of stars, which is also the main content of teenagers' admiration and fascination with them. As for the dress and lifestyle of the stars, they are all personal hobbies and are not worth imitating. Everyone should have their own unique style. The second is to guide students to pay attention to the reasons for the success of stars. They became stars because of their unremitting efforts and enterprising spirit. What teenagers need to learn most is this enterprising spirit. The third is to ask students to learn obvious excellent qualities. The first is to learn the good and bad of stars, even their shortcomings. In today's society, it is difficult to guarantee that any star is a noble and civilized person. Some stars are even bad stars, including tax evasion, drug abuse, swearing, beating people and so on. There are also people who think they are arrogant. This requires teachers and parents to help teenagers improve their ability to distinguish right from wrong, so that students can learn something beneficial to their healthy growth without being affected by the negative qualities of stars. Fourth, we should guide young people to have a wide range of interests, and don't waste a lot of time and energy by taking idolization as their only interest. In fact, in our life, stars are far more than movie stars and sports stars. There are also many stars in science, politics, thought and technology ... they bring us greater happiness and wealth and are worth learning. Fifth, according to the situation, cultivate one or two teenagers' specific hobbies, such as music, dance, sports, model airplane, collection, production and so on. This can appropriately cool teenagers' interest in idolization. This will also enable them to smoothly transfer their energy and time to healthy and beneficial interests.
