The phenomenon of involution among college students such as "looking at the computer while riding a bike" and "the paper requires 5,000 words but wrote 10,000 words" is no longer a joke.

2. The "involution" of contemporary college students includes

1. Studying

Recently, there have been uploads on the Internet of roommates studying until late at night, causing other roommates to run away. Videos of people writing and reading in the library, and this kind of "involution" behavior was uploaded to the Internet and caused netizens to imitate them, thereby stimulating a "learning craze".

The library that used to be unattended, the noisy and chaotic sounds of games in the dormitories, and the cold classrooms are now overcrowded. The sound of turning books has replaced the sound of games, and silent "fireworks" fill the campus during the day. , they were energetic and wrote their knowledge into books with bright smiles. At night, their young bodies were shining with stars to consolidate the day's gains.

"Involution" allows college students who have always been relatively relaxed to realize the joy of learning. "Time flies, but learning is never old." College students in the new era, under such circumstances, have a new joy in learning. .

2. Ability

When you come to university, learning is no longer the only option, and outstanding abilities also receive attention.

The class committee members who are in a hurry, the student union president who talks eloquently at the conference, and the heads of departments who work hard and complain, their actions "roll" the progress of college students, carefully plan every activity, and work hard to arrange every activity. A speech. Prepare your capabilities for each mission and slowly increase with such "involution".

They will eventually step out of this "small society" and come to the big stage of society. "Three feet of ice is not frozen in a day." When the ability to accumulate experience can be demonstrated, the long road of society will be important. For them, it's much smoother and easier.

3. Economy

In the era of big data, the rapid development of the economy has made "luxury goods" no longer unfamiliar to ordinary people. Similarly, in universities with mixed crowds, when they are luxury goods, The collision with simplicity makes it show a different kind of spark.

The girl in the article is just an ordinary female college student whose parents rely on a meager income.

Such "involvement" behavior eventually led to the destruction of the family.

The girl exposed her immature body to support a burden that did not belong to her. The luxuries shining with wealth captivated her pure and unworldly face, and her blood flowed freely on the cold ground. , how pathetic she is!

4. Love

In the past, the carriages and horses were slow and the distance was long, and you could only love one person in your life. Now this is a fast-paced era, everyone is very busy, and missing it will last a lifetime.

The rapidly developing society has led more people to choose "fast-paced and irresponsible love."

" This kind of behavior quickly "involved" the echo and imitation of the college students. "Sea King" and "Scumbag Man and Scumbag Woman" have become the new names passed down by college students. The rat in the corner of "Aphrodisiac" is now openly and openly Standing in the middle of the road, fighting against loyalty

“I have seen classmates around me showing off how many partners they have changed in a month, which makes me feel confused and confused. I had to re-examine my thoughts on love. "This is what my friend told me. College students are a fresh group. They are a living force. Their understanding of love is confused and confused. The fast-paced love of "involution" makes them underestimate love.

3. How college students are involved

Why do we talk about involution? The essence of involution is unhealthy competition, futile efforts, and the unconsciousness of having to do things even though they know there is no value. Behavior... So how do those who have just entered college or left high school be involved?

1. Unhealthy competition. After experiencing the baptism of the college entrance examination, every college student is the winner in the college entrance examination army? However, when they enter the university, the outstanding people in the university will no longer be limited to a small circle. Elite students from all over the country will gather together, and a sense of crisis will creep in. The more college students are unconsciously involved: I will do better, I can't be worse than others.

What is hidden behind this kind of competition is a single value concept. How to graduate smoothly? How to get higher grades than others? How to stand out in the postgraduate entrance examination has become the mainstream thinking of contemporary college students. The rapid changes in social development have made college students feel panic, and their values ??have begun to be limited. Psychologist Adler. It has been said that everyone is pursuing a sense of superiority throughout their lives. The single pursuit of success values ??and "success" defined by materialistic thinking will undoubtedly lead to the emergence of unhealthy competition in the will of contemporary college students. With deep roots, this "involution" phenomenon will naturally occur

2. Lack of planning and insights for the future

Hugo once said that the future will belong to two types of people. : Thinking people and working people. In fact, these two people are the same kind of people, because thinking is also labor. Young people who have just entered college have shortcomings and poor plans for the future, and they have to "go with the flow". Choosing to follow the trend may not be suitable for you in the future, and taking other shortcuts will lead to unexpected gains.

3. College students are a young group.

The college students themselves. As for young people, their acceptance of new terms and behaviors is much higher than that of other groups. The behavior of "involution" is a new experience for college students, so they are "young and energetic" and "competitive". College students began to "involve" with each other, which is one of the main reasons why college students are so "involved" today.

4. "Natural selection, survival of the fittest"

Contemporary data. The development of the times and the rapid growth of the economic level have increased the pressure on college students. "How to stand out among the crowd and how to become a better person" has become something that contemporary young people have to face. "Natural selection, fitness." who survive. "The term "involution" came into being under this situation, which is an inevitable product of the times.

4. How should college students deal with involution?

How should college students deal with involution? These are my suggestions and methods for dealing with the problem of involution

1. Know yourself and be yourself

For college students who are still in the learning and exploring stage, the future is long. The future is promising, and making clear plans for the future is what contemporary college students should pay attention to.

Planning allows your efforts to have a direction and will not be affected by the surrounding environment. Leave something to those who have faith in it. The purpose of career planning is to seize the moment and see the future; to promote self-understanding, self-positioning, self-growth and self-realization.

When" When the frenzy of "involution" begins, you should immediately know your position. What kind of person do I want to be?

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and what is suitable for others may be It’s not for you. There is a passage in The Stitch of Time that says, “The so-called normal means that my own wishes, commitments, words and deeds all follow the truest voice in my heart. Therefore, my normal life will always be with me. It would be futile to look for it elsewhere, or to retrieve it from the past. ”

Of course, when planning and determining the direction, we need to pay attention to the following points.

① Don’t fall into the abyss of greed. As contemporary college students, we lack experience and cannot distinguish The quality of things has become the main reason why contemporary college students fall into greed. When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you. No money can buy the medicine for regret.

② Some college students even determine their own goals. The direction will still be involved in "involution". Lincoln became president in middle age. During his campaign years, faced with countless doubts, he still chose to be firm in himself. The truth is often in the hands of a few people, and only you can decide yourself. In the future, make friends with yourself and strengthen your beliefs. The edge of the sword will come from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms will come from the bitter cold.

2. What is suitable for me?

"If I am not the Big Dipper, am I not a star?" This is a very interesting sentence I heard recently. Everyone has their own advantages and dreams, and success is not limited to just one. Road. When you are confused at a crossroads and don't know how to choose, why not step out boldly and think about what is suitable for me.

"Three hundred and sixty years, one will be number one." Just like scholars in ancient times chose to pursue official careers, although today's college students have more choices, they are generally limited to civil servants, white-collar workers of foreign companies, Employees of large Internet companies and other seemingly glamorous and well-paying careers rarely choose careers that are not in the public sector or are not so "glorious". There is a cartoon in the junior high school politics textbook, where there are many places to recruit two secretaries. However, there are very few units recruiting technical jobs. This is the career choice issue for contemporary college students.

"Go home and grow fruit after going to college?" "Peking University graduates sell pork" has become a joke in recent years, "Students who graduated from prestigious schools actually sell pork?", "I'm really sorry for all the hard work I have done over the years. Farming is hard, but my son actually studied agriculture when he went to college. Isn’t it because I wanted him to stop farming like me?”

College graduates shouldn’t sell pork, nor should they? If you go to farm, you should sit in an office and work peacefully after going to college. This is the embodiment of a single value and a limitation of social cognition. Civil service has once again caused a craze in recent years, and libraries are full of young people preparing for the civil service. However, is this job the most suitable for them?

Nearly 20 years have passed, and the Peking University graduate who originally chose to raise pigs has used practical actions to silence people. Together with an alumnus, he opened a "butcher school" to sell pork but also knowledge to cultivate talents for the industry. Later, he followed the trend of the times and started an online pork selling business. Sales are said to have reached 1.8 billion yuan in 2018 alone. The college students who come to the countryside to teach make the barren land bloom, the left-behind children fly out of the mountains and contribute their own strength to the motherland. The college students who go home to plant fruits make the orchard agriculture in the countryside develop. , cultivating Taoism, selling, forming an industrial chain, allowing villagers to live a good life.

Can’t we create benefits for the country and ourselves if our work is not glamorous? College students use their knowledge and professionalism to play a major role in such work. They are more professional in doing work that is “not glamorous” in the eyes of everyone. The rewards are often huge. Who said that only those who stand in the light are called heroes.

How to choose a job that suits you? First of all, college students need to broaden their horizons and accumulate enough abilities. Information on university campuses is relatively limited. Many college students' future plans come from suggestions from teachers, relatives, or from classmates around them. In fact, with the development of the times and the support of national policies, many new industries and professions have emerged.

With the development of the big data era, emerging professions have entered everyone’s field of vision. Self-media has integrated and developed modern life. The country has vigorously developed and supported these emerging undertakings. Rising stars have just risen, and their glory has just begun. Although it is not gorgeous, it still has its own dazzling look.

Therefore, pay attention to the current political hot spots in the country, choose a job that suits you, observe work carefully, pay more attention to changes in work in society and the development of emerging professions, and enrich your knowledge and skills. Give up the days of wandering and drifting at the crossroads of "involution", and the clouds and fog will break through to reveal the light.

5. What are your views on the "involution" of contemporary college students?

When I was writing this article, I was thinking about how to write better, and the "involution" stayed with me. As someone who writes together, I have become a member of the "involution" without realizing it. It has been witnessed that the "involution" of contemporary college students is serious, so what do I have to say about the "involution" of contemporary college students? What do you think?

1. Take the essence and discard the dross

The word "involution" is a product of the development of the times. In my opinion, the "involution" of contemporary college students is new and is Interestingly, too, "involution" is a double-edged sword, it can represent good things as well as bad things.

①Advantages

"Inertia" is the norm for contemporary college students. Without the struggle of high school, the relatively relaxed college time has made contemporary college students inert, with no intention to study and no mood. It has become a common behavior among contemporary college students to participate in activities and just muddle along and fail the class.

University is a place where you can gain knowledge and enrich your thoughts. Being idle and idle is extremely detrimental to college students. When abilities and knowledge are not learned and used proficiently, college students’ future employment will be a serious problem. Likewise, this brings obstacles to the development of society. The popularity of "involution" has generated new enthusiasm among contemporary college students and encouraged them to enrich their own connotations.

②Disadvantages

Because of involution, they have done nothing in their lives. Unreasonable "involution" has caused contemporary college students and young people to lose their direction in life, and they have lost their minds for luxury goods. His family was ruined due to his eyesight, and he tried to please his seniors in order to obtain his own personal gain by becoming a "student union official". These are the epitome of unreasonable "involution".

2. Master the "degree"

Everything has pros and cons. Grasping the "degree" well is the top priority of "involution". Appropriate involution is of course beneficial to change. People's inert thinking and young bodies should not be immersed in doing nothing. However, things must be reversed when they go to extremes. If you blindly pursue involution, it will only lead to vicious circles one after another. Be careful and follow "involution" rationally.

In short, although the root cause of college student involution lies in unhealthy competition on campus, as long as college students determine their own direction, make plans, and move forward with firm goals, they will not be easily coerced by the surrounding environment. , taking the essence and discarding the dross, appropriate "involution" can allow contemporary college students to see the mainstream direction of society and change their own inertia. However, you must be a college student with judgment and do not blindly be dominated by "involution". If a person understands what he wants and has a firm belief, then the whole world will give in to him.
