The news that Tianjin University will offer a "love class" continues to attract attention. This course, the theory and practice of love research, is run by the Youth League Committee of the school and taught by a student association of the school. This course is divided into theoretical and practical credits. If students apply what they have learned to the object, they can get full marks as appropriate. Some students think that deliberately learning love through a unified curriculum is to some extent a blasphemy against love; However, some people say that it is very rare to get credits while talking about a love affair. In fact, universities in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Harbin and other places have set up similar courses to help students improve their ability to treat people. Judging from the current situation, such courses are more popular with students.
In fact, the view that "love class" is only for learning love skills is purely misunderstood; Offering a "love class" at school is an argument to encourage students to fall in love, and it is also a matter of course. How to deal with the communication with the opposite sex is only one of the contents of the "love class" offered by universities, which also includes college students' love concept, love psychological problems, sexual morality, self-protection and many other aspects, which has an important guiding role for college students to better improve themselves.
Many years ago, China's education department proposed to attach importance to college students' psychological education in love. Because the survey shows that a large part of the psychological problems of college students in China are more or less related to love relationships, and some students may do harm to others because of lack of education in this field. However, for a long time, due to the problems of ideas and teachers, there are not many schools in China University that actually offer love courses.
For college students' love problems, there needs to be a cognitive process, and so does offering love courses. In the last century, Chinese colleges and universities basically prohibited college students from falling in love. College students who are found to be in love will be punished, or even dropped out of school if the circumstances are serious. Later, the school did not support or advocate college students' love. Later, the state lifted the ban on college students getting married and having children, and college students were no longer timid in love. However, it is awkward to educate college students about love, marriage and sex. A common understanding is that educating college students in this respect is to encourage students to fall in love and have sex. Whether to fall in love or study in college is a question for opponents.
But there are many people in love, in academic. It is also obvious that dealing with love relationships has a positive effect on students' individual maturity. On the contrary, due to the lack of relevant education and guidance, some students lack self-protection awareness, which leads to adverse consequences, which also puts forward urgent requirements for relevant education. In this case, society and universities can no longer be obsessed with shortcomings, but should actively adapt to the changes of society and student groups and carry out targeted education and guidance.
The opening of a new course will always be controversial at first, but as long as the opening of this course is scientifically demonstrated and conducive to the development of students, schools should stick to it. For example, 19 years ago, the course "Human Sex, Fertility and Health" offered by Peking University was controversial, and only 150 students took this course. But now, this course has become one of the most popular public elective courses for students, and the number of elective courses has increased to 1500. In Sichuan University of Arts and Sciences, the elective places of sexual health education for college students were "robbed" by students in three seconds this year. Talking openly about "sex" in class is no more embarrassing than talking openly about math and physical formulas, because it is also science. Instead of letting students explore for themselves, it is better for schools to actively preach and dispel doubts, so that students can treat their psychology and physiology with a more scientific attitude. This is the attitude that a university should have.
