Study On Mechanism Of Ideological And Political Education In City Community

The rapid development of socialist market economy and the prevailing trend of industrialization, marketability, modernization and urbanization have brought great changes to the economic, industrial and social structures: the ever-increasing diversity of economic sectors, way of employment, form of organizations , interest relationship and mode of distribution, the growing demographic mobility with more and more people breaking loose from state-owned organizations and joining the ocean of mobile workers and the mushrooming new economic and social organizations. All these boost the development of our society, however, also incur some new problems to the city management. Social communities, an integral organ of urban cities, are exerting greater impact on urban residents. Along with innovation country and study society's construction advancement, and city community's huge change, new urban life calls for new urban education, where the ideological and political education should be given top priority.One of the prominent symbols of a harmonious society featuring democracy and law, equity and justice, faith and friendliness, safety and security, and peaceful coexistence of human and nature, is a sound social management system. The community ideological and political education, an important way of community management, will contribute to a well-managed community backed with a sound operation system and a social management system led by CPC, supported by the government and jointly run by the society and the public. Thus it is an issue of primary concern to be studied.This dissertation intends to explore ways to improve people's residential environment, promote residents' quality, and construct harmonious communities and society from the perspective of the mechanism of community ideological and political education. The historical necessity and realistic importance of reforming mechanism of ideological and political education in communities, the major components and optimizing approaches are discusses.Firstly, a historical review is made on community-related concepts by comparing the concepts of community construction, community development, community work and community education with community ideological and political education and dialectically analyzing the relationship among the system, institution and mechanism and further that among the principle, method and mechanism. The ideological and political education mechanism, a controversial topic lack of sufficient research, is defined herein as "a system composed of what the various ideological and political education elements are, how they work and are carried out in specific education activities, how people monitor and adjust them for desirable results". It covers the basic elements and their relationship, the application of the mechanism and the rules of ideological and political education.The ideas on how to construct an ideological and political education mechanism in communities are divided. This dissertation gives a general overview of the connotations and different types of ideological and political education mechanism and proposes that "System is the organic unity of the construction structure, working mechanism, operating mode, adjustments and the presentation pattern." and "The community ideological and political education mechanism is a system composed of what the various ideological and political education elements are, how they work and are carried out in specific education activities, how people monitor and adjust them for desirable results." The operation mechanism mainly covers the motivating mechanism, orderly-operating mechanism, cooperative working mechanism, active acceptance mechanism and evaluation mechanism.Thirdly, studies on the UN community programs, the practice of ideological and political education in overseas communities, and the evolution of ideological and political education in Chinese communities have revealed that it is time to reform the Chinese community ideological and political education. The merits and drawbacks of the traditional community ideological and political education should be viewed with a dialectical and critical attitude. It did contribute much to improving the community residential environment, living standard, education, community growth, social stability and China's development. However, the significant changes of the economic, industrial and social structure calls for community reforms which make it a requisite to reform the community ideological and political education mechanism of communities, transforming the mechanism of extrinsic motivating to intrinsic, working disorderly to orderly, individually to cooperatively and changing the passive compliance to active acceptance.Fourthly the main content of community ideological and political education mechanism is explored in the specific context of China. The process of ideological and political education itself is how the community ideological and political education mechanism goes. It starts with the initiation of the motivating mechanism, carries on with the orderly working mechanism, goes through transitions activated by the cooperative working mechanism and attains the objectives in the active acceptance mechanism and is assessed in the effectiveness evaluation mechanism. The whole process goes on endlessly with links entailing links: a former link moves to be part of the next and the next grows to another new high so that the mechanism develops spirally upward.Finally, the dissertation makes a tentative probe into the optimization rules of community ideological and political education mechanism. An integrated approach should be adopted in optimizing the community ideological and political education by giving full play to the community ideological and political education on the one hand and strengthening the self-growth of the ideological and political education on the other, or generally speaking, following the externally adaptive rule and the internally adaptive rule of the community ideological and political education mechanism.
