As a new sports activity, what is the social background of square dance? Is this new sports activity harmful to people's physical and mental health? Does it have any adverse effects on the social environment? Today, I will analyze these issues with you.
Square dance appears in today's era, and is by no means an accidental random event, but a profound social reason for it. Today's era is an era of rapid development of science and technology. People's lifestyles have undergone earth-shaking changes due to the continuous emergence of new technologies. In daily life, the pace of life is greatly accelerated and the pressure of life is increasing day by day. People have not slowed down their lives because of technological progress. Instead, due to technological progress, the industry's intravenous circulation has become increasingly serious. In the constant fierce competition, people run faster and faster, and even forget what the original purpose of life is. Square dance appears in such a special era.
We know that people will gradually form a habit when working under high-intensity stress. That is, whether at work or in life, you will have very strict requirements on yourself. Even after work or during the holidays, a person's mental state will always be in a tense state. This is because long-term high-intensity and stressful work has formed conditioned reflexes in the human subconscious. This subconscious tension state takes a long time to eliminate and return to a normal peaceful and relaxed state.
In society, the general work break time is one night, one or two days, or three or five days, or one week. In such a short time, it is impossible to eliminate the physical and mental tension caused by high-intensity work. If you want to truly relax, you can't do it in less than a few months or a year or two. In normal work, such a long rest time is impossible. Therefore, people can only be in a highly stressful state of life.
people are intelligent higher creatures. Although social life has bound many of people's instincts, as the most basic physiological needs of organisms, people always desire physical and mental freedom and are unrestrained. This conflict arises. On the one hand, social work always makes people in a state of high tension, and on the other hand, people's physiological instincts are very eager for physical and mental freedom and are unrestrained. In order to realize the desire for freedom and relaxation of body and mind, people want to quickly relax their body and mind through music and rhythmic physical activities to achieve the goal of eliminating tension. This is why music square dance occurs.
In the era when square dance did not appear, people always take a leisurely walk in parks, communities, riversides, woods and other places to relax in the body and mind after work at night. While relaxing in body and mind, you can also feel the tranquility and peace of nature, rationalize the thoughts of life, and let the wise thoughts fly freely in the void. The pace of life in that era was not as fast as it is now, and the work pressure was not as great as it is now. People don’t have to worry and work hard to save money to buy a house. People at that time were not in a highly stressful state of life. So, after get off work, you only need a simple walk to relax from your day's work.
is different now. High-intensity work forces people to be highly nervous and highly focused. This highly tense state cannot relax after work by walking. People need to use the same high-intensity musical rhythm and physical activity to relax themselves.This is called "fighting poison with poison". However, high-intensity musical rhythm and physical activities are just to temporarily forget the pressure of work, and cannot completely relax the nervous body and mind. On the contrary, due to work pressure and the stimulation of music and physical activities, the mind is always in a highly excited state. This state of excitement is a continuous loss of human body functions. It will make people aging prematurely, make people feel excited, have a bad temper, and are very impatient in doing things.
People often say that people nowadays generally have impetuous mentality, and their emotions are prone to excitement, and they will always do some unexpected impulsive behaviors. Maybe because of a very small thing, you will have emotional collapse, yelling, crying and making a fuss. The occurrence of these situations is actually directly related to the excessive work pressure. The reason why work pressure increases is directly related to the high concentration of capital. In a capitalized society, these are inevitable phenomena.
It can be seen that the emergence of square dance is caused by the accelerated pace of life and the increasing work pressure. It is a solution that people are looking for when they are eager to relax from a fast-paced life. Unfortunately, square dance is just a solution to fight poison with poison. It cannot really relax people from the stressful work and life, but instead makes people become more and more excited. This has overdrawn your physical functions too early, resulting in your premature aging. Before you can survive until you retire, various elderly diseases come one after another. The impact of square dance on the social environment cannot be ignored. Because square dance needs to be performed in the square, the powerful music is earth-shaking and breaking the quiet night. The whole city shaking with the rhythm of music. This is not conducive to people's normal relaxation and rest. The powerful music often makes people unable to think about life and various life problems quietly and rationally, and live in a hurry all day. This kind of hurry life further leads to people being unable to analyze various social problems in depth, resulting in people only seeing the eyes and not seeing the long-term in the face of complex social phenomena. Amid the crazy swaying of square dance, the whole society gradually fell into confusion.
