Trang 3INTRODUCTION
1 Rationale
As a matter of fact, in any historical periods, the youth, including students is a great social force, the future owner of the country and one of the important factors that decide the country's future As President Ho Chi
Minh asserted: "The youth is the future owner of our country Indeed, the
state of being prosperous or failed, strong or weak largely depends on the youth,” During the process of leading the revolution, President Ho Chi
Minh and the Party often paid attention to the education and training of the youth in general and students in particular, so that they would become people with both virtue and competency who can shoulder the heavy yet glorious duties of the nation He always promoted and affirmed the role of morality in personality formation and development of man, because,
"virtue is the root", the foundation of revolutionists, just like trees must have roots, or rivers must start from somewhere Revolutionists must have revolutionary virtue as the foundation to accomplish arduous and difficult revolutionary cause His ideas on revolutionary morality and his moral example has been and will be the foundation for the young generation in general and Vietnamese students in particular to learn from and follow
In the current development of socialism in Vietnam today, the role of students is increasingly prominent They are the elite and knowledgeable force who is always at the forefront of all youth activities and plays the role
of critical human resource that contributes to the success of the country's industrialization and modernization After more than 30 years of innovation, generations of students who are both virtuous and talented, have good health, active thinking and creative action have been born They are following the heroic footsteps of their fathers, have the will to strive in learning and working, to establish their own career and enrich themselves
in a legitimate manner, and also desire to be trusted and to dedicate
Trang 4themselves to the common cause However, the downside of market economy and globalization has led to negative changes in the moral scale
in terms of perception, perspective and moral sense of each student;
especially, at present“there are still a lot of students with low sense of
striving, ignorance to sociopolitical issues, and faded revolutionary ideal They are unable to determine their purposes in life, have signs of moral degradation, and are involved in social evils and breaches of laws, etc.”
This situation tends to grow worse, and has become a common concern of the whole society This is one of the reasons why we need to enhance the role of Ho Chi Minh moral ideology education and personality cultivation
in a scientific manner for Vietnamese students today On the other hand, the issue of personality development for students is not only a result of degradation in morality and lifestyle of a part of students today, which requires to be overcome, but it is also for long-term development, for a healthy society and high-quality human resource with strategic vision and action in the future
At present, the country's economic development and modernization really need economic power, but in the end, the economy itself has no purpose And practical experience proves that, if the foundation of healthy spiritual life and lifestyle is not built up, the society cannot develop sustainably, the life of each individual and each family in the community cannot be peaceful; the youth and the students cannot healthily establish themselves and find prospects in life So, how to build a future generation
of intellectuals who are comprehensively developed, have both virtues and competency, eager to study and train themselves for tomorrow's career for their own happiness and the future of the nation, and meet requirements of the glorious revolutionary cause of the Party and the country?
Researching and learning Ho Chi Minh moral ideology as well as the role of his moral example and ideology will become a very important key and the basis to come up with solutions for developing personality of
Trang 5students, in order to serve the country's industrialization and modernization well Ho Chi Minh moral ideology education for students must be done regularly to avoid the feeling of disenchanted and deviation, and ensure the right orientation in morality and personality formation and development of students It is a necessary and urgent task, especially in the current period, when both the Party and the people (including students) are actively implementing Directive No 05-CT/TW
of the 12th Politburo"On promoting the study and practice of Ho Chi
Minh ideology, morality and lifestyle"
