试论人与自然和谐相处的几个方面

人与自然和谐相处,是构建和谐社会的重要目标之一。在社会生产中,必须进一步提高人的科学文化素质,增加人力资本积累,充分发挥人与自然和谐的要素作用;在社会消费中,必须与国情和资源环境的承载力相适应,积极采取人与自然和谐的消费方式。这样才能减少自然资源的消耗和浪费,减轻社会生产和消费对生态环境的压力和破坏,努力建设一个人与自然和谐的生态环境。     

人的全面发展与社会主义价值体系的当代构建

社会主义是一种现实制度,更是一种价值追求。人的自由全面发展深刻体现了科学主义价值理想,是现实社会主义理论与实践必须坚持的最本元的核心价值观。贯彻科学发展观,以人为本,构建与社会主义和谐社会相适应的价值体系,就必须遵循人的全面发展的价值逻辑,将自由民主、公正共富和新集体主义等置于社会主义价值体系的关键地位。

当代青年价值观的冲突及教育对策

每一次社会进步 ,都必然伴随人生价值观的论战 ,并且成为社会变革的先导。每一种社会形态 ,随着其经济基础的建立 ,都必然要在全社会形成共同的价值理论和价值原则。当代青年价值观矛盾和冲突主要表现在自我期望过高与实现自我价值能力不足 ;个人本位和集体本位的冲突与矛盾 ;价值取向多元化与价值评价多标准 ;轻理性追求与重感性体验 4个方面。当代青年价值观的教育 ,在于确立社会主义的价值理想、价值目标和价值原则 ;坚持“三个有利于”的价值标准 ;贯彻物质文明与精神文明一起抓的价值导向 ;提倡统一性与多样性相结合的价值取向。     

U.S. and Japan’s trends in attitudes toward the Korean peninsula

This article argues that Japan would not only be concerned about the creation of a united Korea, which could be a serious economic and political rival in her own backyard, but would actively fear the prospect of the extension of Chinese or Russian military influence to the Straits of Tsushima through a Korean regime that leaned towards either of these powers. For the U.S., too, while there might be political advantages in the appearance of a serious economic rival to Japan, these would be greatly outweighed by the possibility of the same extension of Chinese or Russian military influence feared by Japan. This is evident in the strategic, economic, and diplomatic objectives and interests of the powers in the peninsula. This article concludes that the coexistence of the two Koreas will be not only inevitable for the time being, but ultimately desirable for the external powers.
