Remaining a person in any situation is almost the main, primary task of each of us. This allows you to move on, with any life troubles, move forward and hope for the best. That is why the formation of humanity is one of the most important educational goals for teachers, teachers, parents and every member of society as a whole. In our article today, we will consider this topic in detail.
Such a simple deep word
Representations of the norms of etiquette, morality are constantly in the dynamic, changing and improving. What was wild a few centuries ago today seems to us quite an ordinary thing, and vice versa.
Each of us can recall certain examples of humanity from life, which can console in difficult times and inspire confidence even in the most difficult situations. This may be the memory of a little kitten taken from a tree by a neighbor boy, or grandmother's stories about the terrible wartime, when so many could not save their faces.
Way out of hopeless situations
A modern person in eternal haste, as a rule, is guided exclusively by the present day, looking back a little. He finds examples of humanity from his life in his own actions, the actions of his friends or the media. Sometimes we don’t even pay attention to the greatness, correctness and beauty of a particular act that is committed with or without our participation.
We find examples of humanity from life in animals saved during a flood or in alms given to a homeless person from his last savings. We marvel at the courage and kindness of motorists, picking up people who vote on the roads, and letting them into their home, family and life.
We retell our acquaintances examples of humanity from life, seeing how firefighters carry a child out of a burning house, and the military bandages wounds to the wives of the enemy. We notice something good every day, and perhaps this is what allows the world to continue to exist in a measured way.
Humanity under inhuman conditions
The Second World War is considered to be one of the worst events in history, but even then, at that terrible time, full of fire and blood, you can find a manifestation of humanity, examples of which amaze and delight.
What is it worth Edith Piaf, who gave concerts to German soldiers and helped with the production of fake documents? Or the feat of Irena Sendler, who carried out Jewish children from concentration camps organized by the Nazis?
How many spiritual forces did a young eighteen-year-old black woman, Cashew Thomas, shut up a racist in a demonstration? Or a priest who, under bullets, reassured a soldier during an uprising in Venezuela?
All these examples are just a small, insignificant part of those wonderful acts that people with a huge heart did.
Literature and Reality
It is not surprising that such deeds were and are reflected in art. Examples of humanity in literature are found in almost every work. Finding them is completely easy if you think about this topic.
This is the Bulgakov Margarita, who spared Frida, sobbing at her feet during a ball of dark forces. This is Sonya, who regretted and tried to correct Rodion Raskolnikov, this is the hero of the story of A. Pushkin "The Captain's Daughter", who presented a hare sheepskin coat for help in fighting the blizzard. This is a huge gallery of characters showing examples of humanity in literature.
Children's books
Such a case is not uncommon in children's literature, both in the author's and in the written oral folk art. Helper heroes in fairy tales from childhood tell us about how to save a human face in the most terrible, most difficult situations, when, it would seem, there is no hope.
Examples of humanity in Russian literature for children are also quite common. What is the goodwill and willingness to come to the aid of Dr. Aibolit? Or, for example, the heroic deeds of the Humpbacked Horse, constantly helping the protagonist out of trouble?
Not far behind domestic and foreign literature. A series of novels about Harry Potter, on which more than one generation has managed to grow up, by itself becomes an example of humanity, self-sacrifice and love of life.
Quality education in schoolchildren
It is quite obvious that the formation of moral and ethical standards should begin in early childhood, when the family as a whole and parents in particular have the greatest impact on the individual. However, the continuation of this great work within the walls of the school is no less important, for which the efforts of teachers from time immemorial have been directed.
In addition to reading the literature provided by the curriculum, children are usually offered other tasks, designed not only to improve writing and reasoning skills, but also to form ideas about moral and aesthetic values.
Each teacher is first of all tasked with instilling humanity in the child. The work "An example from life" or any other creative work on similar topics are best suited for this.
At each lesson, every day, students should be faced with a particular problem, the solution of which would help children at least one step closer to understanding the ideals of truth, goodness and beauty.
A man should always remain a man, no matter what happens to him, no matter what surprises life prepares for him. The foundation for this should be laid as early as in childhood: during heart-to-heart conversations with parents, while watching films and listening to songs, when writing essays, reasoning, and participating in problematic discussions. No matter how this happens, only the result is important. Important are actions that will constantly make the world a better place and be passed on to friends, acquaintances, and completely alien people as an example of behavior worthy of admiration and imitation.
