The conflict of the Ministry of Education's character in the education course of the Ministry of Education and the Citizen Education course has aroused the dissatisfaction of some parents and sent an open letter to the Ministry of Education to protest.Chen Zhensheng, Minister of Education, said that education must guide students to learn to respect and respect the diversified perspectives, verify information, handle personal emotions, and try to maintain social cohesion, avoid social harmony that is not easy to split society and erosion.These concepts and positions believe that everyone can accept it.In real life, serious differences in positions on specific topics are difficult to avoid, let alone avoid, and learn the way to get along with "different", so it is the collective obligation of Singaporeans.
The elements of religious conflicts implied by Harbin conflict can easily cause strong emotions due to different positions and views.With the complicated historical grievances of Harbin, it has increased the facts and the difficulty of telling the truth.Because it is full of emotional colors, open debates are easily reduced to disputes, and even upgraded to limbs or even bleeding conflicts because of their stalemate.If you have serious disagreement, you may not be able to see the people for a while. After all, you cannot truly resolve the differences. Instead, the emotional wounds caused by the differences may be ulcerated and the opposition worsens further.
Therefore, how to properly and effectively handle serious and different opinions between public arguments and pretending not to see two extreme response gestures, testing the collective wisdom of society.The way to get along different is exactly the political wisdom of the multi -society to maintain harmony.The important prerequisite is that everyone must understand the different views of society, including their own fierce opposition.The key is to learn to respect each other when facing differences, just as the other party should respect themselves; at the same time, law must protect personal expression of the right to the mainstream view.Realizing that everyone is equal compatriots, is the true meaning of different.
The character of the school is incorporated into the conflict with the education of citizenship. It is believed that students can learn and understand the external world in a safe environment.Theoretically, this is always better to allow them to be in a state of unstable psychological and knowledge, and provide opportunities for external extremes and wrong views and information.In practice, the school and teachers should focus on encouraging disclosure and rational dialogue communication, so that students can master the information and discussions on both sides as much as possible to avoid providing or guided a single standard answer.The most important thing is that in the process of discussion, pay attention to learning to listen, respect objection, and cultivate the qualities that should be possessed as mature citizens in the future.
Controversial issues such as Harbin conflict, which will inevitably cause strong emotions such as discomfort and even indignation in the discussion.Learn to deal with and control personal emotions, so that emotions do not allow emotions to affect their ability to recognize the world, and even be manipulated by people who have been misleading information and biased views. It should be one of the goals of character and citizen education.The conflict of Harbin will not be the only local or last geopolitical controversy topic. Educators should seize the opportunity and transform such controversy into opportunity education; even if the controversial party fails to obtain consensus in the end, at least learn how to respect dissidents.Understand the nature of diversification, and know what to do when he encounters the same situation in the future.
The so -called respect for diversified views is the most difficult thing is to respect what you oppose.This must be cultivated from a kid.Only from the elementary school through rational dialogue, learning to control emotions, and understanding oppositional opinions can we become mature citizens in a diverse society, and they are not easily captured by external cognitive operations.Responsible citizens must not only respect the expression of other people, but also have the courage to express themselves. They cannot be self -censorship because they are worried about offending others or to meet the mainstream views.Confucius said: "Hometown, the thief of virtue" is to warn that we cannot be exquisite in front of the right and wrong, otherwise we will inevitably hurt society.
The main axis of the world situation is gradually reversing from global economic and trade cooperation to the national security with neighbors. In order to protect or maximize national interests, countries are developing in the cognitive field.The popularity of mobile Internet makes this new warfare more convenient.Singapore must be prepared for comprehensive defense in time, especially psychological defense, armed our young people's heads, so that they have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong and know how to define and safeguard national interests, including the harmony of a difficult diverse society.
