(2) and the textbook combination point analysis

1. From the economic common sense:

(1) science and technology is the first productive force. Today's development of productive forces, science and technology plays a decisive role; today's world competition, in the final analysis, is the competition of science and technology and talent.

(2) The huge role of finance. Economic development depends on science, scientific progress depends on talent, talent training depends on education. And the development of these institutions must rely on financial support, the background material listed in a large number of scientific and technological achievements and financial support is inseparable.

(3) The internationalization of today's international economy, the internationalization of scientific and technological development and application is one of the important manifestations. The human genome sketch was an international cooperation program from the beginning, initiated by the United States, with British, Japanese, French, German and Chinese scientists joining successively.

2. From the philosophical common sense:

(1) the relationship between objective laws and human subjective initiative. A series of scientific and technological achievements, on the one hand, is due to the scientists respect the objective laws, on the other hand, they are tenacious, enterprising, give full play to the results of subjective initiative.

(2) Things are divided into two, we should adhere to the two-point theory and the two-division method. For example, human genetic research has made breakthrough progress, which will certainly promote the development of life science, information science and a number of high-tech industries, and at the same time, people are facing new problems such as gene monopoly and the excessive use of gene results in the pursuit of commercial interests.

(3) The point of view of deepening and developing understanding. People should deepen and expand their understanding on the basis of practice and move it forward. Facts such as the research process of human genetic technology and the development of China's aerospace technology are the inevitable result of the deepening development of understanding.

3. From political common sense:

(1) The essence of international competition. The essence of today's world competition is based on economic and scientific and technological strength of the comprehensive national power contest. The ability to gain an advantage in scientific and technological development and to strengthen the comprehensive national power based on economy and science and technology will ultimately determine the country's position in the international arena.

(2) The functions of the state in leading and organizing the construction of socialist modernization and in organizing the construction of socialist spiritual civilization
