Trang 11 Reason for choosing thesis topic
Political activism is a component of political quality, playing a veryimportant role, helping political subjects overcome inertia, passivity,indifference, and ineffectiveness in order to move towards reality.successfully implement the set political tasks and goals Therefore, anyparty or organization is interested in this issue In Vietnam, in carrying outtasks in general and in the ideological and theoretical struggle incyberspace in particular, political activism motivates the subjectsparticipating in the struggle to achieve high quality and efficiency This isalso the key point to create success in each political subject, contributing
to improving political qualities, moral qualities, and limitless loyalty tothe Party, the Fatherland and the people
In the current period, science and technology are developingstrongly, cyberspace is considered a favorable environment forhostile forces to take advantage of and carry out "peaceful evolution"plots against the Vietnamese revolution In fact, they used more than
"63 radio stations with Vietnamese programs, over 400 newspapersand magazines, 88 Vietnamese publishers, thousands of websites andblogs On those media, they posted thousands, even tens of thousands
of news and articles that distorted the Party's guidelines and policies,and the State's laws." That evidence shows that they attach greatimportance to the ideological and theoretical struggle in cyberspace,
so this struggle is still long, difficult, complicated, and fierce Tosuccessfully carry out this task in the coming time, it is necessary toincrease the political activism of all subjects, in which the youngteaching staff of military schools is an important force
A large number of young military school instructors areofficers, professional soldiers, and defense officials with basic anddiverse training in academies and universities inside and outside themilitary team They are carefully selected for their political qualitiesand pedagogical abilities They are young party members, thegeneration born during the country's reform period, associated withthe trend of international integration and the scientific andtechnological revolution Modern They have sharp thinking,
Trang 2curiosity, the ability to access and master modern science andtechnology, fast information technology, along with the creativepotential and enthusiastic spirit of youth In their positions,responsibilities, and tasks, they are a shock force in the tasks ofteaching, scientific research, and participating in ideological andtheoretical struggles in cyberspace.
Clearly aware of the role of young lecturers and their politicalactivism in ideological and theoretical struggles in cyberspace, inrecent years, military schools have often paid attention to enhancingpolitical activism their role in carrying out this task
Therefore, basically, young lecturers were self-aware,proactive, and creative when participating in the struggle andachieved many important achievements that directly contributed tothe failure of the "peaceful evolution" plot of the enemy forces.enemy, protecting the Party's ideological foundation However, thereare still some young lecturers whose awareness and responsibility arenot high, lacking self-awareness, initiative, and creativity in fightingideas and theories in cyberspace That is shown through the content
of the young lecturers' struggle, which is not convincing, the formsand methods of struggle are not diverse, and the quality andeffectiveness of the struggle are not commensurate with theirpotential Those limitations directly affect the results of completingthe tasks of young instructors and military schools
Currently, in the context of hostile forces trying to takeadvantage of cyberspace to promote sabotage of the Vietnameserevolution, the Party's thinking on the task of protecting theFatherland has also had a new development, promoting the protection
of Vietnam Fatherland early, from afar Identifying the protection ofcyberspace sovereignty as a new form of warfare, in which theideological and theoretical struggle in cyberspace is an importantcontent and continues to pose increasingly high requirements Tomeet the requirements of this task, young military school instructorsmust constantly improve their political activism Therefore, the study
of "Political activism of young military school lecturers in the current ideological and theoretical struggle in cyberspace" is an
issue of urgent theoretical and practical significance
