Because ideological and moral character is a social problem as well as a practical problem, students' moral concepts, moral behaviors and moral qualities can only be shown in social practice and tested in practice. Therefore, only by combining classroom teaching with social practice can we give full play to the educational function.
Moral education in a broad sense refers to all activities that have a purposeful and planned impact on social members politically, ideologically and morally, including social moral education, community moral education, school moral education and family moral education.
