| The better life of the people is a unique proposition of Marxism in the 21 st century.The realization of a better life for the people fundamentally depends on objective conditions such as economic prosperity,political democracy,cultural prosperity,social fairness,and good ecology,but also on subjective conditions such as rational criticism of people’s needs for a better life,indepth exploration of their feelings for a better life,and scientific improvement of their ability to live a better life.It is a social and historical process that constantly surpasses existing living conditions.As a practical activity to achieve "transformation of the objective world" through "transformation of the subjective world",ideological and political education plays an important role in shaping,regulating,motivating,and guiding people to correctly view,seriously comprehend,and strive to create a better life.Empowering people to live a better life is a new mission of ideological and political education in the new era.The better life of the people is the unity of individuals and groups,material and spiritual,long-term and phased.The good life of the people is the source of ideological and political education in the new era and an important driving force for the high-quality development of ideological and political education in the new era.Constantly turning the people’s yearning for a better life into reality has become a new task of ideological and political education in the new era.Ideological and political education plays an important role in providing ideological guidance,determining value coordinates,and stimulating spiritual motivation for continuously realizing the people’s yearning for a better life.In the new era,ideological and political education empowers people to live a better life,which can not only promote the modern transformation of ideological and political education,but also promote the comprehensive development of human beings and social progress,and promote the transition of world history to a community of human destiny and a union of free people.The happiness and well-being of the people is the ultimate goal of promoting high-quality development,and it is also the value goal of ideological and political education in the new era to empower people to live a better life.From a realistic perspective,unbalanced and inadequate development,a lack of individual labor spirit and creativity in a good life,and other constraints on the realization of a good life for the people,make the new era of ideological and political education empowering people to live a good life face a huge test.In particular,a series of development dilemmas,such as the strong contradiction between the "human learning gap" of ideological and political education and the need for humanistic care,the contradiction between the lagging content and the accelerated development of the times,the contradiction between the single working method and the diverse demands of the people,are the most important constraints for ideological and political education in the new era to enable people to live a better life.Strengthening and improving ideological and political education in the new era,improving the quality and level of ideological and political education in the new era,promoting the correct and innovative development of ideological and political education in the new era,deepening the people’s understanding of a better life,stimulating the people’s motivation to create a better life,and better playing the role of the "compass" and "engine" of ideological and political education in the new era to guide and inspire people to create a better life,Mobilizing the people to devote themselves with confidence to the new journey of turning the yearning for a better life into reality has great practical and far-reaching historical significance. |
