Today, I would like to discuss with you the drafting skills of the second batch of thematic education topics in the democratic life meeting of "leading by example, honesty and self-discipline".
Investigating the problem in this area is one word: difficult!
As a person who "catches the knife", the most difficult thing is that he doesn't know where to use the knife, and he has no skills (writing ability), but there is no place for it.
Even if you know the direction of the knife, the size of the force, the depth of the "wound", the destructive power, the strength of the influence, and so on, all need to be considered holistically. After all, it's a knife against the person who gave you the knife.
Replace it with a more orthodox expression. On the one hand, if the direction and angle of the investigation of integrity issues are not well grasped, there will be hidden risks and adverse effects. On the other hand, self-discipline emphasizes more on the individual, and it is easy to be misunderstood, and it is impossible to pass the test if it is superficial, which makes the literati who provide text services for the leaders in a dilemma and feel pressure.
Regarding integrity and self-discipline, there are clear aspects in the norms of integrity and self-discipline, namely, honesty in politics, honesty in the use of power, honesty in self-cultivation, and honesty in the family.
It stands to reason that we have to check and place them separately from these four aspects, which is in line with the requirements.
Some novice writers sometimes feel at a loss in the face of some thematic summary and debriefing materials, and the main reason is that they do not grasp the topic as a whole. The best way to grasp it well is to find out the relevant requirements of the higher authorities for this topic, especially the institutional documents.
In fact, the most difficult thing in drafting summary and report materials is the construction of the article framework, and after the framework is built, the daily work is "installed" into various parts, and the draft is completed.
The most lacking thing for novice writers is the ability to build an article framework, and the most common thing is the inaccuracy of content classification. When some "pen sticks" revise the materials drafted by novice writers, they often spend their energy on "merging similar items".
Therefore, if a novice writer wants to draft a good material, he must learn to build a framework, so the best way is to find the relevant institutional document requirements and find inspiration for the framework. Because of these institutional documents, the higher authorities will definitely consider the content of each part and whether there is overlap when formulating them. Therefore, the framework of the manuscript based on these documents ensures the "independence" of the content of each part of your manuscript – which is the most important point of drafting the manuscript.
For example, if you want to draft a report or summary of integrity and self-discipline, then you can divide it into blocks according to the four parts of integrity and self-discipline norms: integrity in politics, integrity in the use of power, integrity in self-cultivation, and integrity in the family, and then "install" the corresponding content into each part. It is also the easiest and most practical way to draft a manuscript.
So, let's pull back our thinking and return to the comparative inspection of "leading by example, honesty and self-discipline".
Although we can find problems from the four perspectives of honest politics, honest use of power, honest self-cultivation, and honest family, we still need to focus on the plan, the summary speech of the democratic life meeting, relevant documents, and the requirements of the superiors, and integrate several aspects in order to determine the final angle of investigation.
This is also easier to understand, because the superiors ask you to investigate this kind of problem, which is to show that in the current society, in the unit, and in behavior, this kind of problem is more prominent, and the superior has mastered this situation through various channels, so he wants to pull his sleeves in this way, ring the alarm bell, and achieve the effect of punishing the former and the latter, and treating the disease and saving people.
Just like honest politics, honest use of power, honest self-cultivation, and honest family, only one of these four parts may be the focus of investigation; and in honest politics, it is divided into multiple perspectives such as ideological understanding, behavioral standards, and system implementation.
We also have to follow the requirements of the superiors and choose the angle from which the superiors need us to investigate the problems.
First of all, let's look at the control inspection plan of the superior.
Because this is a temporary notice, the six aspects of the issue have been revised, so there is not much content for us: to set an example, to be honest and self-disciplined, to be more conscious and firm, to resolutely oppose the idea of privilege and the phenomenon of privilege, to be self-clean, self-righteous, and self-hard.
The emphasis here is on the word "privilege". After that, self-clear, self-positive, and self-hard can also be used as an angle to check the pendulum.
Second, let's look at the other documents.
In the first batch of thematic education control inspection programs, it is required to investigate and lay out problems from six aspects: "theoretical Xi, political quality, ability, responsibility, work style, and honesty and self-discipline". Compared with the six aspects of the control inspection newly revised by the superiors, only honesty and self-discipline are the common aspects of the first and second batches of investigation and handling problems. Therefore, we can find some angles from the relevant requirements of the first batch.
The first batch of comparative inspection plans for the investigation and handling of problems in the area of honesty and self-discipline are as follows: The awareness of discipline and law is weak, the rules and regulations are not cared for, understood, and mastered, the awareness of using the rule of law thinking and the rule of law methods to carry out work is not strong, the phenomenon of defying the wind still occurs, the use of power and influence for personal gain, and the problem of harming the interests of the masses.
Ladies and gentlemen, what are the key words here?
If you have a certain foundation in the logic of words, you may have locked the key word, which is "law".
There is some embarrassment in this direction, whether it is discipline or regulations, it is a relatively sensitive topic, and if you are not careful, you will "deviate". Therefore, we cannot "stiffen" with this direction, or forcibly divide the angle in this direction, the correct way to do is to think differently.
We know that the "law" plays a role in guaranteeing honesty and self-discipline, but this is only one angle of integrity and self-discipline, and the premise, focus, and fundamentals of integrity and self-discipline are all points that can be selected.
Finally, let's take a look at the concluding speech at the democratic life meeting, and what are the key requirements.
Among the seven important requirements, the seventh aspect mentions the requirements related to honesty and self-discipline, that is, we must always set strict demands on ourselves in accordance with the standards of Marxist politicians, set a benchmark and set an example in self-cleanliness and self-discipline, and strictly manage our families, relatives, and staff members.
The main emphasis here is to be strict with yourself and the people around you.
Then, according to the summary speech at the democratic life meeting, as well as the first and second batch of comparative inspection requirements, it is recommended to investigate and solve the problem from five perspectives: the concept of the rule of law, the sense of self-discipline, the spirit of self-reflection, the idea of privilege (the people around you), and the culture of integrity.
Below, I will form a problem investigation material based on the above 5 perspectives, combined with my original control inspection material No. 109, 80 problem materials on "leading by example, honesty and self-discipline", as well as previous problem materials. The following is omitted to view the full version in issue 109.
1. There are shortcomings in using rule of law thinking and rule of law methods to promote the high-quality development of work. In the face of the new standards and high requirements for discipline and law awareness in the new era, the awareness, pressure and efficiency of taking the initiative to learn the law, understand the law, abide by the law, and use the law are insufficient (omitted).
2. The maintenance of integrity and self-discipline awareness still needs to be continuously strengthened. There is still a gap between the political requirements of self-purity, self-righteousness, and self-hardness, and it is not in place to think more about the exposition, and it is not in place to study it thoroughly, and it has not been able to fully and accurately understand the rich connotation, ideology, culture and practical requirements, nor has it been able to deeply understand the political character, value pursuit and spiritual demeanor contained in it (omitted).
3. The spirit of self-reflection is lacking in "asking oneself" from time to time. Benchmarking against the standards of Marxist politicians, for the current situation of people in the current period of social change, where people's thoughts are active, a large number of views are emerging, and their behaviors are strange, they lack the spirit of introspection in a timely and in-depth manner, they fail to always use the duties and discipline of leading cadres to check their own behavior, they are not timely and accurate enough to benchmark against the table, adjust and correct the table, and sometimes they are led astray by some erroneous concepts and fallacies that seem to be ahead of their time and are extremely confusing, and often the "physical examination" is not comprehensive enough to remove the "rust spots" They are not thorough enough, they have not been able to think about what they are doing for joining the revolution, what they can do for the party and the people in their work now, and what they can leave behind after leaving their posts, and they are not scientific, balanced, and effective enough in dealing with the relations between public and private, righteousness and interests, right and wrong, frugality, happiness, and gain and loss, and their own views on power, status, and interests have been weakened and weakened.
4. There is still a "vacuum" to break down privileged thinking and behavior. He was not strict enough in the management and requirements of the people around him, failed to fully understand the urgency of breaking the idea of privilege and privileged behavior from the political height of respecting social rights and public responsibilities and safeguarding fairness and justice in the new era, and did not take seriously the privileged behavior of some cadres in charge of using the "micro-power" and "petty fighting" in their hands to the political risk that may undermine the value of social fairness and the spirit of the rule of law. Individual cadres have failed to clearly understand the gradual harmfulness of small matters and small sections, nor have they fundamentally formed the thinking Xi and value orientation of "not wanting to be corrupt." The value concept and political ethics of honesty and honesty have not yet truly become ideological consciousness and action consciousness.
5. The responsibility for promoting the construction of a culture of integrity in the new era is not firmly shouldered. There is a gap in political consciousness, and it fails to fully understand and grasp the importance of the construction of a culture of integrity and self-discipline in the new era from the political perspective of strengthening comprehensive and strictness, and the overall planning for the construction of a culture of integrity is insufficient (omitted).
