Nurturing Of Democratic Politics As The Domain Of Civic Awareness

Citizen awareness, in the country of democracy politics, refers to citizens are the equal main-body who participate the public activities independently(including in political activities),and citizens in the activities gradually form self-identification and the real feelings on the relationships between oneself and others, especially in the country's political activities, on the relationships of the rights and obligations between participants and others. In the perspective of democratic political, national consciousness, legal consciousness, subject consciousness, consciousness of rights and obligation, consciousness of democracy and equality and liberty are the essential components of citizen awareness. Citizen is the product of the development of democracy politics, and the cultivation of citizen awareness provides spiritual motivation and psychological foundation for the development of democracy politics. In contrast, the development of Chinese democracy politics promotes citizen awareness maturely and completely.In the new period, the whole level of citizen awareness is increasing, but in light of different regions and the different education levels of individuals, the unbalanced phenomenon of the development of citizen awareness is remarkable. Compared with the backward areas, the overall level of citizen awareness in economically developed areas is higher, the higher the level of education, citizen awareness is also higher. With the advent of the information society, the content of citizen awareness increasingly enriches, and forms are complex and diverse. However, owing to historical and practical reasons, our citizen awareness is in lacking in the whole, which represents the indifference of public accountability consciousness, the coexistence of the citizens' independent and attachment consciousness, the consciousness of citizens emphasize the power and light private rights. Analyzing the causes of the problems of citizen awareness, I think the reasons include both historical factors and the impact of reality. The reasons not only refer to the lack of citizen knowledge, but also refer to the external environment where the citizens live. On the whole look, we find that the traditional autocratic political and repeated democratic process in modern China affect the emergence and development of citizen awareness, traditional Confucian culture, the orientation of weighting group and looking down on human individual in the planned economy period, the current immaturity of the development of citizen awareness in China, and the lack and backwardness of citizen education hinders the development of the maturity of modern citizen awareness.To solve the problems of citizen awareness, the citizen education is the main channel , and the reform of bottom up,such as the development and swell of civil society organizations are the important condition and prop. In addition, economic reforms provide a solid material foundation for the cultivation of citizen awareness and in the information society, the propaganda and public opinion guidance of media drives the development of citizen awareness. In modern China, the internet network increasingly widespread, network democracy is not only an important force to promote modern citizen awareness maturity, but also make up for the lack of real democracy, expanding citizen participation and the channels of supervision, pushing the development of democratic politics continuously in China in further.
