Social morality is the morality in social life. It refers to the minimum code of conduct and moral standards that citizens should abide by in maintaining social order and public life. Social morality covers the relationship between people, people and society, and people and nature. The specific norms of social morality include being polite, helping others, caring for public property, protecting the environment and abiding by laws and regulations. We should vigorously advocate the civilized fashion of observing social morality and encourage people to be good citizens of society.
First, politeness.
Politeness is the starting point of being a man. When everyone comes to this world, learning to be a man begins with being polite. During the children's babbling, parents first teach them manners; When they enter school, the teacher teaches them manners; In society, people are always asked to be polite. Civilized manners not only bring happiness to others, bring harmony to society, but also create a loving environment and bring happiness to yourself. Civilized etiquette not only shows personal image, but also reflects the civilized quality of citizens and the civilized degree of society to a certain extent. In modern society, politeness directly affects the image of a country and a city, and has become an investment environment. This is becoming more and more common sense of everyone. After Beijing's successful bid for the Olympic Games, the civilized and polite education activities with the theme of "welcoming the Olympic Games, stressing civilization and cultivating new styles" were widely and deeply carried out throughout the country, just to show the world the beautiful image of our country and nation. It can be seen how important politeness is to a person, a city and a country. There are five requirements for politeness.
One is to be generous. Pay attention to personal hygiene, clean face, neat hair, neat dress, simple and generous, beautiful and generous. Being too casual is disrespectful to others. In social life, appearance not only affects the quality of personal life, but also directly affects personal image. People who don't pay attention to personal appearance tend to feel inferior and even lose confidence in life.
Second, the language should be civilized. In social life, we should pay attention to occasions, be gentle and moderate, and don't swear, let alone be glib, argue irrationally and swear. Use more polite expressions such as "hello", "please", "thank you", "don't mention it", "I'm sorry" and "it's okay". The language is uncivilized and will directly affect interpersonal communication.
The third is dignified behavior. Behave properly in public, don't make noise, and don't show your breasts. When there is friction in communication with others, we should avoid it politely, resolve contradictions, and avoid being rude, not apologizing, being unreasonable and fierce, or even hitting people, swearing and insulting others.
The fourth is to respect others. When dealing with people in public, we should be kind and friendly. Don't judge and blame others based on personal likes and dislikes. We should respect the personality and customs of others.
The fifth is to care for the weak. In social life, we should respect the old and love the young, respect women and respect the disabled. Take care of the elderly and avoid discrimination against them; Care for children and avoid bullying the small with the big; We should protect women, be polite to them and avoid insulting them; To help the disabled, we should pay special respect to them, don't hurt their self-esteem, and give them as much convenience and help as possible.
Second, help others.
When a person is in trouble, everyone is willing to help others, treat others' difficulties as their own, and give warm and sincere help and care. This is helping others. In the real society, everyone lives in certain interpersonal communication, and it is impossible for every member of society to live in isolation. In life, everyone will encounter some difficulties, contradictions and problems, which need the care and love of others, but also need the support and help of others. If in social life, everyone can take the initiative to care for and help others, starting from themselves and starting from small things, so that helping others becomes a fashion in society, then you can get help from others anytime and anywhere and feel the warmth of society. In this sense, "helping others" means "helping yourself". Therefore, everyone should carry forward the spirit of helping others and take the initiative to love and help others. Specifically, we should do the following:
One is to ask me for everyone. Everyone should start with small things such as giving up their seats by car and helping disabled people cross the road, and develop good habits and moral sentiments of caring for others.
The second is to share weal and woe. Accidents will happen. When others have misfortune and difficulties, we should help them enthusiastically and share their worries and problems.
The third is to help each other in times of danger. For example, every citizen should come forward, sacrifice himself to save others, and carry forward the righteousness when encountering such critical situations as gangsters, bullying and sudden danger.
The fourth is enthusiastic about public welfare. Social welfare embodies the new socialist interpersonal relationship and is closely related to every citizen. Every citizen should pay attention to and support social welfare undertakings, give more love, add more true feelings, and be an enthusiastic person in social life, such as disaster relief, donating money to study, donating blood for free, donating money and materials to social welfare undertakings, etc. In this way, we can make money and make a strong contribution.
Third, care for public property.
Public property, including all facilities in public places, is the material guarantee for improving people's living standards and enabling everyone to enjoy various services and conveniences. Whether to treat public property as love or protection, waste or destruction, is the embodiment of a citizen's morality. Every citizen should consciously abide by social morality and care for public property.
First, take care of the public property of the unit. It is necessary to distinguish between public and private, not to occupy public property and not to turn public into private. However, in real life, some people try their best to save electricity and water at home, but ignore the "ever-burning lamp" and "running water" at work and turn a blind eye; Some people even turn public affairs into private affairs and occupy public property at will, thinking that "public things are not taken for nothing."
The second is to care for public facilities. Such as telephone booths, street lamps and related communication lines, transportation facilities, etc. So that it can serve more people. Some people don't care about public facilities. We regret to see that the public service billboards on the street have been deliberately damaged, the glass in the publicity window has been vandalized, the sculpture in Street View Park has been smashed, and some people even regard stealing public facilities as the doorway to making a fortune.
Third, we should dare to fight against acts that destroy public property. Some people often complain about the poor public facilities, but they are indifferent to the destruction and damage of public facilities and turn a blind eye. Every citizen has the responsibility and obligation to oppose embezzlement, damage and destruction of public property, and to cherish and cherish public property at all times.
Fourth, protect the environment.
Environmental problem is a hot issue concerned by the international community at present. Whether the environment can be effectively protected is related to the quality of life and vital interests of every citizen, to the people's living and working in peace and contentment, and to the sustainable development of our future generations. Protecting the environment means protecting ourselves. It is necessary to build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society and adhere to the road of civilized development with developed production, affluent life and good ecology. Protecting the environment is not only a basic national policy of our country, but also a basic requirement of social morality. Specifically, to achieve "three defenses":
One is to prevent environmental pollution. First, it is necessary to prevent garbage pollution, prohibit littering, and classify domestic garbage. Organic matter in garbage, such as vegetables and feed, can be made into fertilizer after treatment; Inorganic substances in garbage, such as building dregs, can be processed into building materials such as bricks and tiles; Harmful substances in garbage, such as plastic garbage, can be recycled, and toxic garbage such as batteries can be buried deeply. The second is to prevent noise pollution. Noise nuisance caused by construction machinery operation, noise nuisance caused by soliciting customers from tweeters and noise nuisance caused by fireworks and firecrackers should be stopped. Third, we must prevent air pollution. We should stop burning domestic garbage, cooking fumes from hotels and restaurants, and the smell from raising poultry and livestock.
The second is to prevent vegetation destruction. We should take an active part in afforestation and protect the greening achievements. In the process of economic development, it is necessary to have both "golden mountains and silver mountains" and "green mountains and green hills". We must resolutely oppose trampling on the lawn, cutting down trees, climbing branches and picking flowers.
The third is to prevent waste of resources. Protecting water resources, not discharging sewage from rivers and lakes, pumping groundwater indefinitely, saving water and protecting water resources are the sources of human life.
V. Abide by the law
As the saying goes: Without rules, there would be no Fiona Fang. For a citizen, whether he consciously maintains the order of public places, his sense of discipline and legal system is strong or not, which reflects his moral level and mental outlook. Abiding by the law is also the basis for protecting the healthy and orderly development of society. The specific requirements are:
The first thing is to understand the law. With the deepening of legal education, citizens' legal awareness has generally improved. But in daily life, there are often some people who fight and hurt each other because of ignorance of the law and because of some trivial things. This painful lesson is not uncommon. Therefore, every citizen should seriously study legal knowledge and constantly enhance legal awareness. First of all, we should learn the knowledge of laws and regulations closely related to work and life, and find out what we can and can't do, what the law allows and what the law prohibits.
The second is to abide by the law. Abiding by the law is the bottom line of morality, the essential moral quality of every citizen, and the basic requirement of modern social life for every citizen. Only by obeying the law can a person become a moral person, and those who don't obey the law must be immoral. Therefore, anyone must strictly abide by all laws and regulations, otherwise, they will be punished by law.
The third is to protect the law. Some people think that "it's none of your business, it's hanging high." When illegal and criminal acts do not harm their own interests, they think that "things have nothing to do with themselves" and need not mind their own business. If everyone only considers his own safety, does not fight evil, avoids evil, or even does not help when he sees someone fighting a criminal, it will make the hero shed blood and tears, which will make evil spirits rise and make society restless. Today, hooligans insulted women passing by. If you don't ask, it may happen to your family tomorrow. Today, I stole someone else's purse. If you don't stop them, tomorrow, maybe that evil black hand will reach into your pocket. Therefore, each of us should dare to support the healthy and eliminate evil spirits, fight against all violations of law and discipline, and strive to create a good social environment for others and ourselves.
