Research On How Cultural Cognition Boosts Citizen's Orderly Political Participation

In today's society developing,culture has played a more and more important role as guidance,integration,and education.What is especially worth pointing out is that the role of culture is based on people's perceiving of culture.Only through cultural cognition can the value of culture be held,thus related cultural concept generates,and then specific activity can be launched under the guidance of culture.To see citizen's political participation from the viewpoint of cultural cognition,it takes cultural cognition as its precondition.Because only when the citizens form some cultural cognition of the practical political culture,can they generate relative political attitude,political orientation,and political behavior.So,the acceleration of the construction of democratic political culture to the citizen's political participation can not be neglected.The core of democratic political culture is democracy,so the citizen's cultural cognition on democratic political culture assuredly concentrates on the cognition and comprehension of democratic politics and its phenomena.Since human cognition comes into being in a certain context,it is based on previous political knowledge and experience,and gradually perfect.So in the process of political cultural cognition,the citizen will use established political knowledge and experience to analyze and reason social and political system and its phenomena.So ingrained feudal society traditional political conception will have a negative effect on forming right cultural cognition,thus,getting rid of traditional cultural negative factor is a necessity for the citizen's political participation.Of course,negative factor of traditional political culture affects not only the level of the common people,but also the level of the government.So on the cognition of democratic political culture,it is necessary for political subjects of various levels to get rid of the fetter of traditional,distorted political cultural cognition,renew ideas and exactly grasp the connotation of democratic politics.Through cultural cognition of democratic political culture,the citizen forms correct comprehension and cognition,that is to say,to know what is democracy,what rights they own,and what action is democracy.In political cultural cognition,it is of key importance for the citizen to achieve recognition with the government.Political identity includes not only political subject identity,that is,mutual identity between the government,the governing party and the citizen;but also political norms identity,that is,the citizen identifies with the country's political system,national laws and policies.Only on the basis of political cognition,can mutual trust and mutual support be generated between the government and the citizen.Only through political cultural cognition,can the citizen understand that civic awareness not only presents not only as subject consciousness and rights consciousness,but also as responsibility consciousness and rule consciousness.Active participation in politics with practical action doesn't mean acting rashly,let alone acting recklessly.Therefore,to keep the political participation within the scope of the permission and protection of laws,to negate illegal and non-institutional participation,benign interaction and benefit coupling mechanism between the citizen and the government can be established,and thus diminish political friction coefficient,which is beneficial to solve all kinds of problems between the citizens and the government.As for democracy cultural cognition,it lies not only in enlarging the citizen's orderly political participation,more importantly in forming the culture of political participation on this basis.The characteristics of political participation should be firstly to assure achieving democratic political participation under the premise of political identity between the citizen and the government.Though it is difficult to form the culture of political participation without the citizen's participation,reluctant political participation,which is passive under the call of the government,or compelled participation when lawful rights are encroached on can only generate distorted culture of political participation because the subject status of the citizen isn't really reflected;This is the main content of the citizen's political participation.Secondly,the citizen's political participation must be standardized and orderly.Orderliness means keeping the rules,that is,various activities must be launched within the law.Rules assure the orderliness,that is,rules must provide maintenance function towards the citizen's political participation.This is the external form of the culture of political participation.Thirdly,the citizen's political participation should be political participation that promotes social stability.A society full of democracy must be a stable society,similarly,a safe and stable society must be filled with democracy,for democracy means harmony of all aspects of society,at the same time,harmony of all aspects brings about democracy.The citizen's political participation highlights the democracy of the society,and democracy brings more opportunities and conditions to the citizen's political participation.This is the most obvious social function of the culture of political participation.We have to admit that democratic education is absolutely essential when the citizen forms democratic political cultural cognition.The practice of political participation tells people:allowing the citizens to participate in politics when their political and cultural quality reaches a satisfying level is just equal to giving up eating for fear of choking.In fact,receiving education and political participation should be carried out at the same time.Therefore,we should support the citizen's political participation audaciously,lead the citizen to extend political knowledge and strengthen democratic awareness in the process of the participation,and cultivate and promote the citizen's perception of affiliation,sense of identity,and social and political responsibility.Only to let the citizen enhance personal democratic politics ability,and constantly accumulate political experience,can the citizen be more mature to fulfill political participation.
