| Great and profound changes are taking place in today's society, science technology and the politic, economic, cultural and ideological changes aroused by it become the motivation and representation of social changes. This changes require us cultivate a new generation with creative desire and practical intelligence. At present, marketing economy is flourishing and thriving, it is not only a process of constructing economic system but also a process in which personality shifts from dependence to independence. Its claims are to throw off the shroud of feudal hierarchy ideology and dependent personality, set free from planned economy system depressing people's initiative and creativity, bring people's initiative and character into full play and mould independent personality of its own. Dependent personality roots from the social system in which people's body attached to others, and thousands of years of feudalism system generated extremely thick traditional cultural grounds. Undoubtedly it sets up the greatest barricade for people to form most needed independent personality. What's more, realistic class teaching directly represses students' personality.
