The phenomenon of involution and lying flat among young people today is undoubtedly a hot topic in the current society. On the one hand, we see young people working hard in the fierce social competition, constantly surpassing themselves and pursuing higher goals;On the other hand, we also see that some young people choose to "lie flat", give up excessive competition, and pursue inner peace. What do you think of these two phenomena?This article will interpret from the following aspects.
1. The emergence of involution: the transmission of social competition and pressure.
Involution originally referred to a phenomenon in agricultural production, that is, repeated cultivation on the same piece of land, resulting in land fatigue and decreased yield. Nowadays, the phenomenon of involution is widely used in young people, which refers to the fierce competition, in order to pursue the so-called "success", everyone has to put in excessive and unreasonable efforts.
The occurrence of involution is closely related to the pressure of social competition in China. In the current social environment, young people are facing multiple pressures such as employment pressure, housing price pressure, and marriage pressure, which makes them have to do their best on the road to "success". However, this kind of excessive competition not only makes young people physically and mentally exhausted, but also easily leads to the misallocation of social resources and low efficiency.
2. The emergence of the phenomenon of lying flat: reflection and resistance to involution.
In contrast to the phenomenon of involution, the phenomenon of lying flat is the reflection and resistance of some young people to excessive competition. They choose to "lie flat", no longer blindly pursuing the so-called "success", but pursuing inner peace and satisfaction. This attitude seems to be negative, but in fact it is a profound reflection on the current social phenomenon.
The emergence of the phenomenon of lying flat reflects young people's dissatisfaction with the pressure of reality and their thinking about the meaning of life. Instead of blindly pursuing material abundance, they began to focus on spiritual satisfaction. This awakening is undoubtedly a challenge to traditional values and a reflection on current social phenomena.
3. How to look at involution and lying flat: seeking balance and diversified development.
In the face of the two phenomena of involution and lying flat, how should we look at it?In fact, involution and lying flat are not incompatible, but can complement each other. We should seek a balance between involution and lying flat, so that young people can enjoy the joy of life while pursuing success.
1.Reform the education system and ease the pressure of competition. Education is an important part of the growth of young people, and it is also an important part of the phenomenon of involution. We should reform the education system, reduce the pressure of going on to higher education, and cultivate the overall quality of young people so that they can grow up in a relaxed environment.
2.Establish a diversified development path so that everyone has the opportunity to realize value. Society should respect everyone's choices, provide different development paths for different people, give everyone the opportunity to realize their own value, and avoid excessive competition.
3.Promote a healthy attitude towards life and focus on spiritual satisfaction. We should promote a healthy attitude towards life and focus on spiritual satisfaction, so that young people can enjoy inner peace and satisfaction while pursuing material prosperity.
The phenomenon of involution and lying flat among young people today is an inevitable product in the process of social development. We should look at these two phenomena rationally, and seek a balance between involution and lying flat, so that young people can enjoy the joy of life while pursuing success.
