On Social Happiness

People's all activities have their purposes, but of all the purposes, happiness is the most important one. Happiness is the final purpose of people's life.Seen from the social development, the reason why people compose a society is also for happiness, so the universal happiness of all the social members is the final purpose of social development. In the process of China's present modernization, we should establish the concept of scientific development to promote the further development of China's society."People-oriented" idea is the core idea of the concept, to realize people's happiness and overall development are the necessary requirement and development goals of current China's development. The development process of human history is a process of continuously showing human's practical ability, it is also a process of creating and proving one's own happiness through practical activities. The modern society makes it possible to realize the universal happiness by creating the material living conditions, spiritual living conditions and institutional conditions. The establishing of socialist society has created the practical conditions of realizing social happiness, under the guidance of Marxist theory and the background of China's modernization, the discussions about the problems of human nature foundation, practice creation, influence factor and institutional guarantee of happiness, have offered reference value and possible methods of establishing China's social happiness.The thoughts of happiness under western background and Chinese traditional background are the abundant source of this theory. Marx's thought of happiness offered the basis of social happiness theory. By understanding of human nature as the start point of understanding happiness, considering Marx's theory of human nature as a scientific theory, we can adequately understand the connotations, achieve methods and conditions of social happiness, and then establish the position of it. Practice, which is the mean of showing person's nature powers, it is the method of creating happiness,which has became the subject of accomplishing happiness, the object of creating happiness. Sublating the alien labor, promoting the strength of the subject,achieving the overall development,people fully possess its essence through a comprehensive way little by little, and by practicing,people can eliminate the contradictions between people themselves,people and people,people and society,people and the nature.The realization process of happiness is the process of human's continuously creation by practicing. The material living conditions,spiritual culture conditions and the social living environment have influenced the concrete dimensions of social happiness,but the nature of human has influenced people's valuation and perception of these dimensions,these related dimensions also influence the dimension of social happiness.Guarantee of welfare achieved by systerm depends on the nature of human and and system.The objective chosen by system is social welfare.Also people work out and choose a series of systems to create right conditions and provide guarantee for happy life.The justice of system can ensure social happiness efficiently and they promote each other in practice.Current China is under transformation from a traditional society to a modern one.We should see not only the positive influence the modernization process has exerted on social welfare,but also its negative effct on it.China today is confronting a social transformation,and a welfare transformation as well.It is a requirement to improve people's consuming standards for the purpose of promoting our current economic development and social welfare sandards,but consuming brings overall disadvantageous effect on people's welfare.Faced with the new situation of a new century,our social policies should aim at improving the standards of social welfare.To this end,our country should insist on the concept of scientific development and carry out the social construction focused on improving people's livelihood during the modernization.In this situation where Chinese people's limited and improper consumption exist simultaneously,we should expand consumption and meanwhile criticize consumerism.It is crucial how to keep a reasonable tension and have reasonable consumption for current China's construction of welfare society.And advocating harmonious consuming culture makes for solving this problem.
