Research On The Influence Mechanisms On Youth Sub-culture On University Students Ideological And Political Education

A multicultural era comes quietly. Standing at the era corridor with vigorous cultures, we have no reason to avoid the most active culture types. No matter which angle we study from, delivery, consumption, or reproduction, youth sub-culture is the indispensable landmark of Chinese culture map. As a collective program for the youth to solve the contradictions they face in the social structure, youth sub-culture becomes the cultural spirit of university students. Therefore, the context of the influence of sub-culture can not be ignored in studying ideological and political education of university students. In this theme, youth sub-culture submits most complicated acting principle with its distinctive character in the system of ideological and political education of university students. To reveal the influence mechanism is the key of promoting the enforcement effect of ideological and political education of university students.Enlightened by Parsonian structural functionalism, the existence of human beings is not only a social existence, and an existence as a mode of social action as well. People always verify their own cultural values through socialization process while constructing their own personality at the same time. People choose culture and receive education in this systematic process. Therefore, analyzing the influence mechanisms of culture on education should be based on the system of culture, society and personality. Only from these three systems to study the influencing mechanism, can the internal mechanisms be revealed.Youth sub-culture is a subsystem of culture system, while ideological and political education of university students is practical activities in culture system, therefore, youth sub-culture influences ideological and political education of university students most directly. Youth sub-culture is unavoidable cultural surroundings of ideological and political education of university students; it exists not only in substantial cultural environments but also in fictitious cultural environments more apparently to change education cultural environments structure of ideological and political education of university students. In such complicated cultural environments, the carriers between the subject and object of ideological and political education of university students are influenced consequently. Youth sub-culture can influence ideological and political education of university students in pure sense of media carriers, activity carriers and management carriers as well as content carriers of substantial meanings.The nature of culture is practical. Youth sub-culture embodies the social relationships of spiritual life of university students in the practice of social system and in the reproduction mechanism, which more directly expresses the lines and requirements of spiritual production itself; and indirectly reflects the realities of the youth world of life and vision. The advantages it gets in time and space make the social surroundings of ideological and political education of university students confusing. The difference between consciously chosen social surroundings of ideological and political education and actual living surroundings keeps living world and knowledge world apart, confuses ideological and political education of university students, and reveals the shortcomings of the mode of ideological and political education of university students and inevitably transfers the educational mode.With the subjective meaning of human beings, youth sub-culture not only bears social reality but also mentally influences world of human beings. Culture is personified and also creates persons. Ideological and political education of university students is one of the means to create persons. It plays roles in optimizing personality positively, while youth sub-culture has been immersed in the personality system of university students, therefore it compares with ideological and political education all-dimensionally. Cognition is the starting point to connect and motivate individual activity and external surroundings. Because youth sub-culture influences the cognition of university students, it unavoidably interferes or hinders ideological and political education of university students in personal cognition, affection, self-consciousness, requirement structure, etc. With the marks of youth sub-culture on personal psychological system, university students inevitably show various ideas of youth sub-culture by particular activities, therefore, divert the direction of ideological and political education of university students.The influence of youth subculture on university students ideological and political education provides the powerful theoretical support for educators to reflect on the future education from the angles of discourse, content, approach and evaluation. In the meantime, we anticipate the vision of the education: merger of principal field of vision in ideological and political education, initiative extension from theory to the life realm hence the edge over the comparison between the political culture and youth subculture.
