节制:青年不可或缺的美德

Moderation: Young People's Indispensable Virtue

节制美德的缺失会导致青年异化。青年异化主要表现为纵向视域下青年人生发展的异化与横向视域下青年生活诸领域的异化,前者以青年工作异化、享乐主义、拜金主义为代表,后者以青年"网络成瘾"、消费主义为典型。青年异化现象的有效治理急切呼唤节制美德。青年节制美德是青年在追求幸福生活、实现自由全面发展过程中,对情欲的自我约束和自我控制,可从价值导向和具体行为两个维度理解。青年节制不仅是治理青年异化的需要,而且是由青年本身的特征与社会发展的内在要求共同决定的。节制美德的养成既需要国家社会为青年提供良好的发展环境和保障,也需要青年个体的不懈努力。

The lack of moderation virtue can lead to young people＇s alienation,which is mainly embodied by the alienation of their lifetime development from the longitudinal perspective and that of various aspects from the horizontal perspective,the former is represented by the alienation of their work,hedonism and money worship,while the latter is characterized by their internet addiction and consumerism. The effective management of this phenomenon calls for moderation virtue,which refers to the young people＇s self-discipline and self-restraint on their emotions in their pursuit of a happy life and in achieving a free and comprehensive development. Its explanation can be given from the two dimensions,one is value orientation,the other is concrete behavior. Young people＇s moderation is not only for the need of alienation but also is jointly decided by their own characters and the intrinsic demand for social development. The cultivation of moderation virtue not only asks for the country and society to offer a favorable development environment and guarantee but also their individuals＇ persistent efforts.
