I. Significance of Strengthening the Ideological Work at the Grass-roots Level of Public Security Frontier Forces (1) It is an important guarantee for maintaining the stability and national unity in the jurisdiction. At present, the overall situation of Wulanchabu City is good, the jurisdiction is stable, the relationship between the police and the people is harmonious, and the mass base is good. However, we can't relax our vigilance and be careless. Instead, we should always keep a clear head, constantly strengthen the ideological work of the troops, improve the ideological understanding of officers and men, take defending Xinjiang and the country as our own responsibility, and successfully complete the frontier defense tasks of the troops. To strengthen the ideological work of grass-roots officers and soldiers is to arm the minds of every officer and soldier with scientific theoretical knowledge, so that they can further understand the situation, clarify their tasks, always be vigilant, strengthen their ideals and beliefs, always be loyal to the party, the people and the revolutionary cause, gather wisdom and strength, and work with one heart and one mind to achieve overall stability in their jurisdiction. At the same time, Wulanchabu is located in ethnic areas, and the primary responsibility of grassroots work should be to safeguard national unity. However, how to maintain national unity and do a good job of "sex" between the army and the people must start with the ideological work of the army, so that officers and men can understand the national customs and habits of ethnic minority compatriots, so that they can live in harmony with ethnic minorities when carrying out military work, so as to better serve the army and better safeguard national unity. (2) It is an objective requirement to ensure the security and stability of the troops. After entering the new century, with the further deepening of the market economy and the impact of the economic wave, the concept of "everything is about money" has appeared in some officers and men of the army, and their ideological consciousness is poor; Among the married cadres, the husband and wife are separated from each other, and the ideological and family burdens are heavier; It is difficult for unmarried cadres to find a partner. These situations make the officers and men of the army fidgety and their emotions fluctuate greatly. The emergence of these problems is restricted by objective factors, which brings resistance to ideological work and affects the security and stability of the army to a certain extent, and should be highly valued by the army. To solve these problems, we must strengthen ideological work at the grass-roots level, correctly analyze the ideological problems of officers and men, solve them dialectically, and take guiding and educating officers and men on how to behave themselves and how to handle family and military affairs as an important content and as the basis for improving their political consciousness. Do a good job in ideological work at the grassroots level and ensure the ideological stability of officers and men, so that the security of the troops can be stable and the work can achieve tangible results. (3) It is the basic means to promote the healthy growth of officers and men. President Hu once pointed out: To implement the people-oriented concept, fully respect the dominant position and innovative spirit of officers and men, safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, further mobilize their enthusiasm and promote their healthy growth, it is necessary to carry out ideological and political work extensively and deeply. The healthy growth of army officers and soldiers is the key to the success or failure of all the work of our border defense forces. It is of great and far-reaching significance to integrate the healthy growth of officers and men into the ideological work at the grass-roots level and implement the "people-oriented" ideological work to meet the requirements of the development of the times, further improve scientific management, promote the all-round development of officers and men, enhance the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the troops, and create a new situation in army building. Therefore, leading cadres at all levels in the border defense forces should attach importance to the grassroots and officers and men. When doing ideological work, they should pay more attention to treating soldiers with emotion. In the spirit of the interests of officers and men, we should start with solving the practical problems of officers and men, start with correcting the atmosphere of the army, and strive to create an internal environment conducive to the progress and healthy growth of officers and men. Educate officers and men to correctly understand the obligations and rights of the army, enhance their sense of responsibility and honor as the main body of army building, and stimulate their creative enthusiasm for consciously dedicating themselves to the cause of army building. Second, the main factors affecting ideological work at the grass-roots level After entering the new century, the situation and tasks faced by the public security frontier defense forces have become more severe, which has brought great challenges to ideological work at the grass-roots level, which is embodied in the following aspects: (1) The particularity of the natural environment. The geographical environment of grass-roots units in Wulanchabu is remote, far away from counties and cities, with "many points, long lines and wide areas" and a dry and windy climate all year round. Some officers and men in the hard grass-roots units lack patience because of the remote environment, empty thinking; The difficult geographical conditions have made some officers and men uneasy about working at the grassroots level for a long time, resulting in anxiety and other ideological conditions. These situations are caused by the objective existence of natural environmental factors, which have become an important factor affecting the thinking of officers and men and hindering the troops from carrying out ideological work at the grassroots level. (B) the complexity of the social environment. With the rapid development of science and technology, the development of information network is changing with each passing day. The convenience brought by the Internet is universally acknowledged. It provides convenience for our work and study, but at the same time, the Internet is also a "double-edged sword". On the one hand, it is a large-capacity and full-content information base, but at the same time it is a "garbage dump" for false, "yellow" and even reactionary information. This has brought a certain negative impact on the security and stability of the troops, mainly in the following aspects: First, it has impacted the ideals and beliefs of officers and men. Hostile forces use the Internet to carry out political attacks on me and advocate "democracy", "freedom" and "human rights" in the West. For young officers and men who are not deeply involved in the world and have weak recognition ability, these "junk" information can easily lead to a crisis of faith. The second is to corrode the ideology and morality of officers and men. Young officers and men have poor discrimination and self-control, and click on some pornographic and violent information, which leads to a few officers and men being influenced by some vulgar tastes. Third, it is easy to cause leakage. Due to the relatively stable city of Wulanchabu, some officers and men do not have a strong sense of confidentiality. When chatting with relatives and friends or netizens, or being "induced" by hostile elements, they will unconsciously leak secrets. Its negative effects are eroding the minds of officers and men, and they will lose their way if they are not careful. These unhealthy contents will inevitably impact the minds of young officers and men to varying degrees. Whether we can correctly guide the healthy development of officers and men so that they are not addicted to harmful information on the Internet is a problem that cannot be ignored in our ideological work. (3) New changes in the thinking of officers and men. In the police camp in the new period, the only child accounts for the vast majority. They are spoiled at home, living a life of "clothes to reach out, food to mouth". When the troops can't face difficulties alone, the spirit of suffering is obviously not as good as that of the former officers and men. Due to the multiple influences of society, school and family, the current officers and men have different ideological changes from the former officers and men in the army, which are embodied in the following aspects: First, they are active in thinking, quick to accept new things and strong in fighting for democracy. At the same time, the cultural quality of officers and men has improved compared with before, and their ideas have also changed greatly, which is manifested in their enhanced sense of autonomy, their love for pursuing individuality and their unwillingness to be bound. After the troops are under strict military management, conflicts are prone to occur. Second, influenced by the social environment, utilitarianism is more serious and egoism is more serious. It is manifested in the fact that everything likes to talk about price and return, lacks selfless dedication and pays more attention to reality, thus causing some officers and men to concentrate on more developed places and not feel at ease in grassroots work. Third, I am eager to be recognized, but my psychological endurance is poor. It is manifested in the enhanced sense of competition, but it cannot accept criticism; Less social experience, lack of ability to withstand setbacks, easy to be negative, lack of patience and perseverance. Third, the countermeasures to strengthen the ideological work of the public security frontier troops at the grass-roots level (1) make use of the situation to build a strong ideological defense line for officers and men. Strengthen education and guidance and arm the minds of officers and men with Marxism-Leninism. Armed officers and men with Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, and adhered to the Party's basic line and principles. In the work, "arm people with scientific theory, guide people with correct public opinion, shape people with noble spirit and inspire people with excellent works", so as to strengthen the reform of ideological work education at the grassroots level and strengthen the guidance of theoretical learning organizations to officers and men. Organize officers and men to seriously study President Hu's important exposition on the historical mission of our army, and use Scientific Outlook on Development's position, viewpoints and methods to deepen their understanding of the new ideas, theories and requirements of military mission in the new century and new stage. Organize colorful learning and education activities. According to the reality of officers and men's thinking, work, study and life, help them establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values, improve their own consciousness and quality, and provide strong spiritual motivation and ideological guarantee for their healthy growth. 2. Correctly guide officers and men to use the Internet and enhance their resistance. Compared with traditional ideological education, the function of modern ideological education has been further expanded in depth and breadth, both in content and form. In order to carry out ideological work at the grass-roots level faster, we should make full use of the advantages of the Internet, and we should not refuse the Internet just because bad information on the Internet harms officers and men. As a new thing, as long as we make good use of it, many things can be done with half the effort, and ideological work is no exception. The political work network provides a good platform for our ideological and political work, and we should make good use of it. On our public security network, we can set up some targeted columns that officers and men are interested in. Officers and soldiers can know what they need through the internet, so that they will not be confused by bad information. We should fully strengthen ideological education in strengthening the resistance of officers and men. First, do a good job in education and guidance, and build a strong ideological defense line for officers and men. In view of the weaknesses of some officers and men, it is necessary to strengthen the study and education of "Theory of Three Represents", arm the officers and men's thoughts with the latest theoretical achievements of the party, unify their ideological will, and strengthen their political beliefs; It is necessary to strengthen the education of officers and men's outlook on life, guide officers and men to realize the harm of browsing unhealthy information through some negative examples, and consciously resist the erosion and poison of decadent ideology and culture; It is necessary to strengthen the education of law and discipline and enhance the awareness of obeying the law; It is necessary to strengthen the education of the concept of secrecy, explain clearly the truth that "secrecy is victory", and further enhance the safety and confidentiality awareness of officers and men. The second is to strengthen ideological exchanges with grassroots officers and soldiers and create a cultural life with police camp characteristics. We should always talk with military netizens, understand their inner world, and solve ideological problems in time, so that they can't vent their emotions through online chat when they have a knot in their heart. At the same time of ideological education and communication, attract officers and men with police camp culture and actively carry out distinctive police camp cultural activities to make officers and men physically and mentally happy and cultivate their sentiments; It is necessary to create a good learning environment to make officers and men feel nervous, orderly, vivid and interesting, so as to concentrate their spare time on self-study and enhance their ability to resist the negative influence of the network. (2) Grasp the ideological characteristics of officers and men and enhance the pertinence of ideological work. The new changes in the thinking of officers and men put forward new requirements for carrying out ideological work at the grassroots level. Therefore, to enhance the pertinence of ideological work, we must start with the thoughts of officers and men and find effective methods. 1. Be sincere to officers and men. In view of the fact that most young officers and men are only children and their families are spoiled, their parents take good care of them and pay attention to them all the time, but the troops lack the ability to cope with difficulties. Therefore, as grassroots cadres, especially political workers, we should pay great attention to influencing the thoughts and feelings of officers and men with sincerity, caring about their daily lives, their thoughts and feelings and their work performance. Give full recognition to officers and men when they make progress, help them improve in time when they make mistakes in their work, and actively guide and persuade them when their feelings fluctuate. If you are considerate and talk to them often, you will feel the warmth of the big family of the army, thus enhancing your ability to cope with difficulties, consciously establishing the spirit of hard struggle, and truly becoming one with the officers and men and becoming intimate people of the officers and men. 2. Treat officers and men equally. Correctly handling various relationships with officers and men is the key to doing a good job in ideological work at the grassroots level. Mainly reflected in the relationship between superiors and subordinates at work, the relationship between comrades in arms in life and the relationship between friends in the exchange of ideas. Leading cadres are not above themselves, but equal to everyone. Communicating with leaders and cadres on an equal footing can easily move subordinates and soldiers, not to mention that they have no difficulties. When they have difficulties, they should first find ways to overcome them themselves and turn them into motivation, thus enhancing the determination of officers and men to work with peace of mind and the courage to strive for the first place. We should respect the officers and men's political and democratic consciousness, their opinions and suggestions, give them space to release their thoughts, provide a stage for displaying their talents, and effectively let them play an active role in army building. 3. Pay attention to the demonstration role of grassroots political cadres. The so-called "the power of example is infinite" can establish advanced and typical methods among military political cadres, so that grassroots political cadres can have standards and learn from examples. In the specific work, we should strictly manage and require grass-roots political cadres, shape their own good image with party member's fine style, effectively correct the problems of encroaching on the interests of officers and men and engaging in intimacy and distance, and enhance the persuasiveness and appeal of ideological work. Only by giving full play to the leading role of grass-roots political cadres can we effectively improve grass-roots ideological and political work. (Wulanchabu Frontier Detachment Tang)
