A Teaching: Outline for A Brief History of Social Development for Lower Secondary Schools in the Full-time Ten-Year System (Discussion Draft, January 1981)

Abstract

1) A Brief History of Social Development is a course that explains the essentials of the general process by which human society has developed from lower to higher stages. It is designed to give an introductory understanding of the general laws governing social development, that the relations of production must definitely correspond to the development of the forces of production. It is a course that will give an introductory grasp of the basic historical materialist viewpoint, that the history of human social development is first of all the history of the development of production, that the history of class society is also the history of class struggle, that it is the masses of the people who are the masters of history.
