In this article, the author will show parents how to educate their children to be honest and trustworthy abroad. ◆ Switzerland: Integrity is not only morality, but also law. In Switzerland, children's education has received great attention. However, the Swiss pay more attention to moral education than intellectual development. Almost all parents believe that it is not important whether children have functional names in the future, but more important is the children's public morality education. They only hope that children can maintain the most basic law-abiding, kindness and integrity, be a man first, and then realize their personal values. Happiness in life is more important than material happiness. Of course, Swiss materials don't need public attention.
Many foreign tourists have a refreshing feeling when they first arrive in Switzerland. The quiet and tidy streets and the honesty and courtesy of the locals left a deep impression on people. The fundamental reason why the Swiss can maintain a high social and moral standard is their traditional national spirit of honesty and trustworthiness. The Swiss have written honesty into the law for a long time. The Swiss Civil Code adopted by the Swiss Parliament in 1907 is one of the earliest civil codes in the world. Article 2 of the law stipulates: "Anyone who exercises any right or performs any obligation shall be honest and trustworthy." This makes the principle of good faith the basic principle of civil law. Many service industries in Switzerland adopt the method of spending first and then paying, sending bills home and paying them within the specified date, based on the good credit of all citizens. ◆ Germany: Integrity education in the depths of life In Germany, family early education is deeply rooted in people's hearts. General educational theory and educational psychology are also well known. Parents attach great importance to their children's early education and provide the best early education for their children through family education, kindergarten education, parenting education and early education products. The average family thinks that the age of four or five is the most important period for children to cultivate their values and ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and 97% of their characters are formed during this period.
Therefore, in the German youth education system, the family is an important place for moral education, and parents are the enlighteners of children's moral education. Germany clearly stipulates in the education law that parents have the obligation to educate their children. German parents also attach great importance to creating a sincere atmosphere for their children. The principle that parents generally abide by is that parents must set an example and educate their children to be honest and trustworthy.
The atmosphere of honesty in Germany not only cultivates children's good moral quality, but also regulates adults to consciously abide by social order and be honest with others. When describing the personality characteristics of Germans, rigor, honesty and trustworthiness are often mentioned words, which has a lot to do with Germany's emphasis on honesty education and parents' example. ◆ Japan: Integrity education runs through the campus. In Japan, integrity education runs through all aspects of people, from family to school, from school to work, and almost all fields require honesty and trustworthiness.
At home, parents ask their children not to lie and set an example. Parents will educate their children early through various social rules and early education products.
In school, teachers will be very strict with students' honesty, and even many schools have the word honesty in their school motto. For example, the motto of Tokyo Wenjing Girls' Middle School is honesty, diligence and kindness. There is also honesty in the motto of Taixing Middle School. Japanese educators generally believe that honesty is the most important expression of taste, so we should keep our promises and fulfill them with strong will. The educational policy of Cuiling Middle School in Yokohama is self-reliance, honesty and practice, and it is our responsibility to cultivate independent, honest and practical people. There are countless schools in Japan that take honesty as their motto. In Japan, honesty education is not empty talk, but runs through children's school life. There is an ethics course in Japanese schools, the main contents of which are honesty, kindness, progress, dedication, humility, reputation and justice. Every primary and secondary school student in Japan has a moral handbook called "Notes from the Heart". This moral handbook records all kinds of moral norms in easy-to-understand language, among which honesty is one of the important contents.
In Japan, entrepreneurs generally believe that honesty is a matter of life and death for enterprises. Adhere to integrity, have a sense of social responsibility, and the products are genuine, so as to win the trust of customers; On the other hand, cheating, buying and selling with one hammer, will lose partners and customers, which is equivalent to digging your own grave. In Japan, it is very important to adhere to integrity in the business philosophy of all enduring enterprises. In order to encourage honest enterprises, Japan's Sankei Shimbun invites the heads of relevant administrative departments, experts and company presidents to form an evaluation committee, selects honest enterprises from thousands of enterprises through social surveys every year, awards honest enterprises awards, and holds seminars on honest enterprises, so that the winning enterprises can express their opinions. This is undoubtedly a brand effect for enterprises and a great encouragement for honest enterprises.
