Moral crisis which brought by the information technology revolution puts forward new topics to the school moral education. Various ideological and cultural collisions and brainstorm, which brought by information explosion under the media environment created by mass media especially network, mobile phone and other new media not only promotes the progress of social civilization widely and profoundly. Moral standards changes from emphasis on the limitation of human desire to attach importance to the satisfaction of reasonable needs and the realization of human ego value. This phenomenon reflects mostly obvious on the generation of undergraduates and middle school students born after 1980s and 1990s. Under the spatial-temporal situation of globalization, commercialization and internalization, all kinds of complex social factors intertwines with each other and dims the boundary of character and behavior under different situation of undergraduates and middle school students, it also caused the disorder of individual's conversion in different role standards and moral criteria. In socialization adaptation process, when facing the dangerous behavior in the real world and virtual world such as violent attacks, sexual offence, the lack of self regulation and control ability inevitably sparked the psychological conflict and the confusion of interpersonal communication, violence impulse and the catharsis after the suppression of sexual desire and the dilemma of social moral cognition and moral behavior practice arising therefrom.According to the phenomenon which information society is disintegrating traditional moral education, scholars from all over the world has discovered the new situation of human moral problem sensitively.They pointed out that with the change of human information communication pattern, we will arise new moral problems, for that matter, a new moral concept and norm which corresponding with it is needed desperately. In order to adapt to the requirements of bran-new moral education environment of information society, we should establish information ethics education theory which corresponding with it, and seek new ways and means of ethics education in media era.Therefore, this research is just meet with the social need from the content and methods, the topic is characterized by vivid times meaning. The construction of undergraduates and middle school students'moral personality in this paper is not only about "ought to" ideal construction, but also about "what it is" description.Concrete research methods, ideas and content are as follows:First of all, the analysis the development history of violent and pornographic information, is to having better understanding of more definite meaning and characteristics of information, Secondly, combining the physical and mental development of undergraduates and middle school students while understanding their moral psychology structure as well as the situation of basic moral behavior, using the theory of ideological and political education and the moral education as the starting point, this paper analyze the similarity and individuality of moral cognition, moral emotion and attitude students have when disposing violent and pornography information, for the effectiveness of the moral education work in school provides the basis.Thirdly, the article introduces theories and researches of related disciplines that produced common and important influence of processing practice among undergraduates and middle school students. Reference including:Marxist theory, ideological and political education theory, social and ecological system theory education philosophy theory module, ethics, moral knowledge development theory, moral emotion theory, education psychology theory, media moral theory of communication.Through the questionnaire to 1,177 undergraduates and middle school students about their present contact and perception situation of violent and pornographic information, and the interviews with some undergraduates, middle school students and teachers, we get conclusion after that:violent and pornographic information's influence on undergraduates and middle school students' physical and mental, behavior and attitude, emotional effect is a complex form of multi-layered and multi-level; its influencing factors are media channels, media contact time, media content, family education and school education etc. The later, undergraduates and middle school students'processing to violent and pornographic information shows individual differences. Media violent and pornographic information's influencing degree to undergraduates and middle school students is limited by different variable factors, there into, gender, age and family environment factors are the most influential. In addition, it can be seen from the survey result that apart from the above factors, undergraduates and middle school students'processing to information of violent and pornographic also shows that individuals'viewpoint to social politics, life, emotional and others, the way of thinking and doing when dealing with problems, are influenced by both social and living circumstance. Thirdly, media violent information and pornographic information's influence to undergraduates and middle school students is quite different according to their information content, violent information's influence is larger on middle school students especially those young boys, however, pornographic information's influence is larger among undergraduates especially those males.Analyzing undergraduates and middle school students' predicament and restraining factors when handling violent and pornographic information in the media era from the current situation of information contact survey is the difficult point of this study. Examine the level of moral literacy of undergraduates and middle school students in their information processing activities; discuss the relationship between their moral literacy when processing information with those factors like the whole moral culture atmosphere, family moral education idea and control strategy, moral education contents and guidance of school, the temptation of media consumerism and the deficiency of network ethical norms; find out the existing problem of our country's moral education work in the field of cultivating people's information moral literacy.Guide and think about moral education's countermeasure for undergraduates and middle school students' processing violent and pornographic information through introducing the moral cultivation theory under the multi-disciplinary perspective and how to reduce the negative effects of violent and pornographic information.Main approaches are:The government's social control and legal regulation is the valid external protection to monitor and strike the overflow of violent and pornographic information; Family moral education is the foundation education which lead undergraduates and middle school students deal with violent and pornographic information correctly; The school moral education, media moral literacy education and sex education provide intelligence support, moral psychological guidance and technical support for improving undergraduates and middle school students'ability of identify and judge information; The media should reduce the interest-driven degree, strengthen their moral responsibility and "self review"; The moral self-control is a valid measure for undergraduates and middle school students to enhance their immunity against the bad influence of violent and pornographic information.
