Authors: Jiang Ganhua
Published: September 2023

Humans' most fundamental means of communicating and disseminating ideas is language. It reflects cultural norms and values. Linguistic disparities between sexes are an inevitable result of the gender gap as a social and cultural issue. Gender disparities in language reflect broader social phenomena and evolve over time, all of which have their roots in society. Language, sexuality, and culture are all intertwined in complex ways. There are communication barriers and misconceptions because men and women have different expression traits, regardless of the topic or style of speech. There are a number of factors, such as differences in social standing and brain structure, that have been cited to explain why men and women express themselves differently. This research analyses and provides examples of how men and women communicate differently in their daily lives. According to the research presented in the paper, males and females do not always use the same vocabulary when referring to the same concepts.

Colonisation and Its Impacts on Melbourne: A Historical Perspective on Urban Development
Authors: Luan Yuchen
Published: September 2023

Prior to the World Wars, European and American empires implemented a colonial model of urban planning in the colonies and concessions under their control. This approach to urban planning was characterised by an imperialist ideology that sought to impose Western standards and values on the territories they governed. This essay explores the manifestation and impact of colonisation on Melbourne, Australia, from its establishment as a British settlement in 1835 to the present day. The essay focuses on the citys colonial background, the manifestation of colonisation in urban development through urban planning and landmark buildings, and the impact of colonisation on living habits, social structures, and cultural traditions. Melbournes colonial history is marked by the displacement and subjugation of indigenous peoples and the exploitation of natural resources for British economic gain. The enduring influence of colonialism is evident in the urban planning, architectural landmarks, and cultural practices of Melbourne city, and has left an indelible mark on its urban, social, and economic development. The legacy of colonialism is reflected in the enduring patterns of power, inequality, and exclusion that are embedded in the citys physical and social landscape. This legacy has also contributed to the persistence of cultural and social hierarchies, which continue to shape the citys urban fabric and its social and economic relations. Furthermore, the effects of colonialism can be observed in the citys built environment, including its urban morphology, architectural styles, and land use patterns, all of which reflect the values and ideologies of the colonial era.
Representing China in the British Museum: Do Museums Perpetuate Historical Biases?
Authors: Zhang Hongsuli
Published: September 2023

Museums have never been neutral. Public museums and exhibitions that originated in colonial times are accused of passing on biases that feature Euro-centric interpretations of history. This paper investigates the nature of bias and the history of museums and their biases, and then focuses on the representation of China in the British Museum as an elaborate case study. The paper argues that from the British Museums virtual collections and public resources, the descriptive text and collection highlights in the China galleries reflect implicit and biased historical perspectives of China in the UK, exhibiting a contrast between the British appreciation of exotic Chinese art and contempt towards Chinas social status arising from colonial trade. This paper provides a specific statement and analysis of western biases for colonial discussions and could contribute to decolonization actions taken in museums.

Video Games and Gender Equality: How Has Video Gaming Become a Mens Privilege?
Authors: Pan Ruiqi
Published: September 2023

Gender norms and gender exclusion in video games are worth discussing. Based on previous research on video games and gender equality, the article investigates how video gaming excludes female participation and becomes a male privilege. Understanding segregation is crucial because numerous video games today still feature misrepresentations of women despite the ongoing feminist movements that strive for equal rights. This article found that the video game industry was established by a male workforce that designed games to appeal to a male-centric market, thus the female voice is left out from the beginning. Women in contemporary video games are portrayed through the lens of male desire in which females are sexualized, powerless, and subordinate. They are excluded from the male-centric structure because of sexualization, sexual harassment, and workplace segregation. An optimistic vision of the future is also discussed due to the emergence of female voices in the gaming industry.

The Possibility of Artificial Qualia
Authors: Wang Xiang
Published: September 2023

The discussions about qualia are mind-body problems. If artificial intelligence provides a functionally identical body, will it possess the same conscious experience? The possibility of artificial qualia, which is on the cutting edge of the development of artificial intelligence, will be the main topic of this essay. This paper argues the presupposition of the possibility of artificial qualia is the possibility of strong AI. Searl was the first person to question the possibility of strong AI by formulating the Chinese Room Argument. This paper introduces common objections from artificial intelligence practitioners and the development of modern AI, proving the invalid of the objection and claiming the possibility of strong AI. Next, this paper follows David Chalmers argument about the principle of organizational invariance and reconstructs Chalmers two Reductio ad Absurdum arguments to rebut objections. By formulating fading qualia argument and dancing qualia argument, the absent qualia argument and the inverted qualia argument are proved wrong. The principle can support the possibility of artificial qualia.

Women Image in Current Chinese Media and Its Consequences
Authors: Han Yangwenyue
Published: September 2023

The negative portrayal of women caused by the male perspective of the media industry needs to be addressed and rectified. In this way, the passive situation of women being otherized can be alleviated, and the misogynistic thinking caused by misleading information conveyed by the media can be improved. It is of great significance to rectify the media under the patriarchal concept to promote gender equality, slow down gender exploitation, reshape female image and enhance female subject consciousness. Mass media unconsciously spread the concept of male supremacy in a subtle way, which not only makes women suffer from the oppression of unequal patriarchal consciousness in the society, but also makes womens cognition of their own gender group and self-image distorted. Reorganizing the media under the patriarchal concept can further promote male equality. Shaping a more objective female media image is of great significance for promoting gender equality, slowing down gender exploitation, reshaping female image and enhancing female subject consciousness.

Luce Irigarays Body Theory and Film Rouge: Female Image of Courtesan Ruhua
Authors: Fan Jiuqing
Published: September 2023

The representation of charming female bodies is a distinct characteristic of feminine movies directed by Guan Jinpeng. Rouge, one of his representative works, illustrates the hope and despair of a courtesan named Ruhua. Although several studies revealed the political metaphor of her body image, few researchers put emphasis on the female sentiment behind it. Therefore, by means of textual analysis, this study explores the life experience of Ruhua mirrored by her body image based on three theoretical perspectives proposed by Luce Irigaray in The Sex Which is Not One, including market value, sexual pleasure and class oppression of the female body. The research finding is that in Rouge, lens languages such as compositions, lights and clothes are conceived elaborately to depict Ruhuas body feelings, which not only implies her disadvantaged position in terms of wealth, sex and power but also reflects her individual consciousness against her dominated body as she is craving for maintaining a relatively equal relationship with her lover. The body narrative in Rouge subverts traditional films made by other male directors that commodify the female body under the male gaze and sets an example for the future feminine movie of how the depiction of the female body destroys gender power.

The Vagueness of Ordinary Language and Its Impact on the Pragmatic Turn
Authors: Li Shupin
Published: September 2023

The significant contribution of ordinary language to the pragmatic turn in analytic philosophy has received a great deal of attention from philosophers and linguists, but there is still a gap in the special study of the influence of ordinary language on the pragmatic turn from the perspective of its vagueness. On the basis of the fact that ideal language cannot portray the reality of some linguistic facts, this article compares and analyzes the differences between ideal language and ordinary language in terms of vagueness, and further argue that ordinary language cannot exist in the process of language use in isolation from the reality of the situation through three subdivisions of vagueness: roughness, ambiguity, and incompleteness. The vagueness creates the opportunities for language to be used in a way that is closely tied to the actual situation, dismantling the artificially shaped conditions of perfect use of the ideal language and redirecting the philosophers' attention to the concrete elaboration of language. In this manner, philosophy's concern of ordinary language use and the subjective experience of language users coincides with pragmatics and further drives philosophy to take a pragmatic turn.

The ratios show that consumption is the main factor influencing the economy. This is followed by unemployment, investment and even taxation. Also comparing the way the US and China stimulate consumption, the conclusion is that because of the different national conditions, the way to stimulate the economy will be different. Finally, in the context of Sustainable Development Goal 8.1 sustainable development goals, it is difficult to achieve an economic growth rate of at least 7% by 2030 because of the unstable economic situation and the constant blow of the epidemic. However, there is a positive expectation for China's future economic development and the economy will gradually recover. There is still a need for a strong development in technology and new energy economy to reach the sustainable development goals.

In 2020, the world experienced the COVID-19 pandemic. This has had an extremely serious impact on the global economy. All industries have been greatly affected by such a severe economic situation. This paper assumes that the real estate market, as a part of the economic market, was also greatly affected. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects that the real estate markets in China and the United States have suffered under this pandemic and to analyze the specific reasons and motivations behind these effects. Using statistical data from 2017 to 2022, this paper compares housing prices and transaction volumes in six major cities in China and the United States. The results of the study show a result contrary to the hypothesis that the real estate markets in China and the United States recovered after a period of recession and were able to reach higher levels than before the epidemic. Based on this result, the paper analyzes the causes of the impact on the real estate markets in China and the United States. There is evidence that the main causes affecting the Chinese real estate market are real estate policies and cultural phenomena, while the factors behind the impact on the U.S. real estate market are economic policies and epidemic management strategies.

Our analysis proves that managers need to fully consider peoples preferences for the status quo when launching new products, and then appropriately reduce their estimates of expected profits to ensure the accuracy of forecasts.
