胡锦涛总书记指出,一个社会是否和谐,一个国家能否长治久安,很大程度上取决于全体社会成员的思想道德素质。没有共同的理想信念,没有良好的道德规范,是无法实现社会和谐的。从上述讲话中,能够深刻理解思想道德教育的重要性和必要性。与此同时,面对这样一项长期而紧迫的任务,我们必须在思想理论上作出先导。由上海市精神文明办承担的“和谐社会与思想道德建设”课题,就是围绕这一问题而展开的。以下是课题组提供的一组笔谈。 General Secretary Hu Jintao pointed out: Whether a society is harmonious or not depends on the ideological and ethical standards of all members of society. Without common ideals and beliefs, without good ethics, social harmony can not be achieved. From the above speech, we can profoundly understand the importance and necessity of ideological and moral education. In the meantime, in the face of such a long-term and urgent task, we must take the lead in ideological and theoretical work. The topic of “building a harmonious society and ideological and moral construction” undertaken by the Shanghai Spiritual Civilization Office is just around this issue. The following is a set of written discussion group provided.
