Scholars claim that China’s social integrity issues are puzzling and call on the government to set an example

Recently, two news have aroused the attention of the society: one is the incident of “duck blood” and the parties are Daoxiang Village and Beijing Fifth Meat Factory. Some consumers have said that even old brands such as Daoxiang Village have food safety problems. Who else can we believe? One is “You You Ge” Liu Hongan, he promises: This is a new oil every day. Some netizens commented: "'Youyi Brother' operates a booth with a small amount of revenue in good faith and conscience. It is worth learning."

On the one hand, it is the estrangement and suspicion of honesty. On the other, it is the recognition and calling for integrity. This contradiction highlights the confusion of honesty and faith in this era.

Integrity, how do we evaluate, exactly where is the road?

How to look at integrity

The good word of good faith has never touched the nerves of the people like today. It becomes complicated and heavy, moving and painful.

On the one hand, we see the light of good faith. After the death of his brother, he left behind a brick factory that was on the brink of bankruptcy and more than 600,000 yuan in debt. Ma Guolin did not hesitate to change the seller’s property to repay debts for his brother. In order to “keep going” promises, they sincerely guarded the cemetery of the martyrs. Grandpa persisted for 20 years. The father insisted on 33 years, Liu Yanbao persists so far...

But at the same time, we also saw events such as "melamine", "lean meat essence", "leather milk", "drug-related capsules", "fake auctions", and "academic misconduct." Even at some train stations, "please don't pay attention to strangers." When people ask, beware of the deceived sign.

Xia Xuetang, a professor of sociology at Peking University, points out that over a period of time, the discussion about the old people's falling support has become a hot spot on the Internet and it has made a lot of noises. This in itself reflects the credibility crisis in Chinese society.

How can we examine the integrity of our society today?

"Over 30 years of reform and opening up, the initial goals have been materialized. When the objectification goals are gradually realized, people begin to focus more on the spiritual aspect. But in the social transition period, the problem of good faith is tangled." Professor, Renmin University of China Gu Changling said this.

What is gratifying is that today, as the value orientation is diversified, the Chinese people have a high degree of consensus on honesty and sincere hope. Whenever there is an incident of dishonesty, people give collective criticism and condemnation. Each case of honesty will be topped by thousands of netizens and widely publicized.

Why lack of integrity

“The Chinese are not satisfied, or that they are bitter and heartless than the loss of integrity.” said Xu Ping, the Central Party School professor. The lack of integrity has become an unbearable burden for the Chinese people today.

Since ancient times, our ancestors had the saying “no people have no faith” and why are there so many types of integrity problems now?

“Simply put, it is during the process of social transformation that the various social conditions and factors of social integrity have previously disintegrated, but the new corresponding social conditions and factors have not yet been established.” Professor Wang Shuhui from Nankai University expounded it out. . He pointed out that certain factors such as the Chinese and Western social value systems were selected by some people according to their own interests for mechanical integration. For example, China’s traditional utilitarian rationality is in line with integrity and groupist morality, but some people just want utilitarian rationality.

Wang Shuhui also pointed out that a good market economy is compatible with the rule of law society, and the premise of the construction of a society under the rule of law is the spirit of the rule of law that citizens generally agree with. While implementing the market economy in our country, we emphasize the rule of law, which is undoubtedly correct. However, the problem is that the Chinese people have not generally formed the spirit of the rule of law.

“The change of living environment is also an important factor.” Xu Ping believes that our past society is an acquaintance society. Loss of integrity requires high risk costs. In today's China, with the advancement of industrialization and urbanization, the human experience is relatively indifferent. The gains of those who do not speak honestly may be greater than their risk costs. This will also impede people’s enthusiasm for integrity.

How to rebuild integrity

Regardless of how many cases of dishonesty have occurred, "the world is still a lot of good people" is still a firm belief of most people in China. But to maintain the integrity of a society, conscience alone is not enough, but it also requires rigid constraints. As Zhuo Zeyuan, professor of the Central Party School, said, "Goodness is good and fragile, and it needs strong protection."

“Government integrity should be a model for the integrity of the entire society.” Yang Haikun, a professor at the Law School of Soochow University, suggested that a responsible mechanism for the lack of accountability of the government and its staff be established to ensure that the public has the power to pursue and punish perfidious acts.

Zhuo Zeyuan believes that social integrity must be guaranteed by the rule of law. Integrity is not a purely ethical norm. It is inseparable from the law. Some seriously unethical and unethical behaviors are illegal actions, civil breaches and frauds, Criminal fraud, dereliction of duty, abandonment, abuse, insult and slander are all betrayal of good faith. Legal punishment provides effective protection for integrity.

Wang Zaihui expressed that he hopes to integrate the ideas and values ​​of China and the West that are suitable for China’s current social integrity construction, build a culture of integrity with Chinese characteristics, build China’s own integrity system and integrity management mechanism, and form a glorious, glorious Honest and shameful atmosphere.

It is undeniable that the problem of lack of integrity requires multi-pronged and comprehensive management. Fortunately, the entire society is actively exploring ways and means to solve this problem. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 17th CPC Central Committee also put forward, “putting the building of good faith in a prominent position, vigorously advancing the integrity of government affairs, business integrity, social integrity, and the establishment of a judicial public trust, and stepping up efforts to establish and improve a credit system that covers the entire society and increase trust in trust. Responsibility for behavior disciplinary action has created a widespread atmosphere of trustworthiness and shameful trust in the entire society."

“The construction of social integrity is the responsibility of every member of society.” Xu Ping said that if everyone does more good work, the social atmosphere will become better. Everyone will try to believe in others and the trust of society will increase. As long as we have the patience and persist in our efforts, China will surely achieve it.
