Authors: Sun Yutong , Wu Yuhan , Zhou Yilei
Published: November 2023

In information dissemination, the public often only focuses on the areas of communication they are interested in. Over time, the algorithm recommendation mechanism of online platforms will confine users to information cocoons like cocoon rooms. Information cocoons allow users to continuously obtain homogeneous information, resulting in a narrow field of vision and a negative impact on media dependence. With improving media awareness and self-awareness among users, some users are actively breaking the information cocoon. This paper investigates the behavior of Weibo users, combined with their behavioral characteristics, to study their proactive behavior and explore the factors that affect them to break the information cocoon. This can help users break through the information cocoon and receive more comprehensive and rich information. Simultaneously achieving a balance in user access to information across various platforms is beneficial for long-term retention. Specifically, a quantitative study is conducted using a questionnaire survey method. Then, correlation analysis and result regression analysis were used for the analysis. The conclusion is that the more frequent information encounters and policy interference, the higher the complexity of online information, and the easier it is for users to break through the information cocoon.

Moreover, it will take the different attitudes presented as a starting point to explore the specific reasons behind the differences in attitudes. Focus on the two questions How do China and the United States view the Belt and Road Initiative in the general political and social environment of China and the United States and How have these attitudes and differences been caused, and what are their underlying factors? Therefore, from the perspective of the Belt and Road Initiative in this article, it could be further explored that the cultural differences reflected Chinas ideology and ideology from America and understand these cultural differences. The research will be conducted by screening the literature. Finally, it is concluded that American thinking is more inclined to force the maximization of interests at the level of values, while Chinese thinking is more inclined to interests that must contain moral benevolence and righteousness. Therefore, different thinking at the philosophical level has contributed to the differences between the two sides when they look at the Belt and Road Initiative.

Authors: Wu Yaping
Published: November 2023

In traditional Chinese culture, there are concepts of Zen and Tea as One and Poetry and Tea as One. The tea poems by the poet-monk Qi Ji integrate Zen, tea, and poetry, forming a unique style of serenity and harmony, also known as a style of qinghe in Chinese. This research paper focuses on the study of Qi Jis tea poems, exploring the qinghe style and its origins. Based on the analysis, conclusions can be drawn that his poem style of qinghe is reflected in both the choice of words and sentence structure, as well as the thematic content. In terms of the word choice and sentence structure, Qi Jis tea poems often employ gentle and plain language. In terms of the thematic content, they portray everyday tea-related activities with a calm and composed mindset. The emergence of the qinghe style can be attributed to two main factors. Firstly, it is related to Qi Jis identity as a monk, as Buddhist philosophy advocates for disengagement from worldly conflicts and inner tranquility. Secondly, it is connected to his pursuit of refined artistic views. Compared to the tea poems of other poet monks in the Tang Dynasty, Qi Jis tea poems tend to be more elegant.

Unveiling the Fallacies: A Critical Examination of Peter Singers Book The Life You Can Save
Authors: Sheng Zien
Published: November 2023

Peter Singers book The Life You Can Save highlights the global concern of child mortality resulting from poverty and its profound impact on the well-being of children. Singer urges affluent individuals to give proportionate to their financial status to global aid organizations in the interest of alleviating poverty among children. However, Singers proposal is not entirely flawless. Poverty, particularly in the present, rapidly advancing world, not only poses moral and ethical dilemmas, but also impedes human development, fosters inequality, and undermines social stability. As a result, it needs to be handled with the utmost caution. This paper critically analyzes the flaw in Singers argument, emphasizing that individual donations alone are insufficient to solve complex societal issues and highlights the dependency issues and ineffective targeting of charitable efforts, ultimately revealing that while charitable giving has some positive impact, poverty cannot be significantly reduced without addressing non-cash issues, such as medical care, and implementing international laws and policies to incentivize investment in developing countries.

A Study on Fricatives and Affricates Produced by Chinese English Learners
Authors: Geng Tianqi
Published: November 2023

The resemblance between equivalent phonemes in Mandarin and English may be crucial for Chinese English learners. Three pairs of comparable fricative and affricates exit in the two languages. Prior research on fricatives and affricatives has tended to ignore the outputs of second language learners and instead concentrated on those of monolingual speakers. As a result, the research question of the current paper is to study fricatives and affricates produced by Chinese English learners. After extracting the main acoustic features of fricatives and affricates that occurred in both English and Mandarin produced by Chinese English learners, one-way ANOVA tests are used to examine the significance. Multidimensional Euclidean distance is used to compare the similarity between each pair of comparable phonemes. The results of these tests led to the conclusion that Mandarin has a detrimental impact on English when learning a second language. What is also worth noticing is that gender may work in the acquisition process, which needs further research to verify.

Authors: Li Zilun
Published: November 2023

Historically, the field of international security has largely neglected or overlooked the consideration of gender in its theoretical frameworks and analyses. International security has traditionally focused on state-centric perspectives, military capabilities, strategic interests, and power dynamics, often disregarding the role of gender in shaping security dynamics and outcomes. In recent decades, scholars and practitioners within the field of international security have increasingly recognized the significance of gender in shaping security issues and have sought to incorporate gender perspectives into their analyses. Feminist scholars and researchers have been at the forefront of this shift, highlighting the ways in which gender shapes security practices, conflict, peace-building, and the experiences of different groups in conflict-affected areas. While the field of international security has made progress in recognizing the importance of gender, efforts are still to be made to promote a more inclusive and gender-sensitive approach to security studies, which recognizes the diverse experiences and perspectives of different genders and contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of security challenges. This paper will examine the role of women in international security from a feminist perspective, introduce the content of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 and the UNs role in promoting gender equality including the implementation of the resolution and the challenges it encounters, and then discuss with Afghanistan as a case study to draw some conclusions and propose some recommendations.

It has been more than thirty years since it entered mainland China in the early 1990s. This article, based on ethnographical research on BL readerly community and personal observation as an avid and experienced reader of BL, focuses on queer male participants in the BL culture in China. Though the number of them is relatively small, they are an important contributor to the burgeoning of BL culture in China and this group is largely overlooked in existing literature. Furthermore, the subject of study in this article belongs to Generation Z in contemporary China. Generation Z have their own ways of life that set them apart from earlier generations and this deserves scholarly scrutiny. Born in the era of globalization and neoliberalism, Generation Z observe the imprint of the current age in their ways of consuming popular culture and subculture. To many gen Z readers, especially queers, BL is not only a form of leisure, it constitutes a way for sexual minority male readers to navigate their sexual identity. Therefore, they tend to perceive that BL to a certain extent mirrors reality or projects their imagination for a better, and more inclusive world. This paper further compares different strategies in which queer male readers of BL culture negotiate their sexual identity in a largely homophobic society with practices ranging from mask, switch to openly coming out.

Debunking Biases: A Critical Analysis of Western Media Reports about Chinas Belt and Road Initiative
Authors: Ni Shaoqing
Published: November 2023

This paper will examine and debunk some of the negative claims that many US and Western media outlets made regarding the Belt and Road Initiative (One Belt One Road, or BRI). There are plenty of articles published by news organizations in the US that claim China has used unfair measures to take advantage of the host countries, including the debt-trapping of Sri Lanka. This paper will seek to examine and debunk some of the claims that are prejudiced or factually incorrect. To prove the argument of this paper, articles from US and Western newspapers have been examined. After recording the claims of these articles, these claims will try to be corroborated or debunked by looking at how media from the host countries regard and respond to the issue. After the examination, the claim of the debt-trap of Sri Lanka in the Hambantota Port Deal has been proven as improbable. This is because a large number of their domestic media and studies about Sri Lanka reveal that the project actually benefited Sri Lanka by creating a large number of jobs and funding. In addition, the deal seems to have been initiated by Sri Lankan politicians, removing the fault completely from China. Media in other countries such as Myanmar, Cambodia and Pakistan have also been analyzed, proving a majority positive public opinion towards the BRI.

Note-taking is simultaneously a key feature and a widely used tool in consecutive interpretation. Based on Saussures Structuralist Linguistics, this essay attempts to evaluate current studies and strategies of CI note-taking and generate further understanding of note-taking procedure from a linguistic perspective. It is interested in three key aspects: theoretical explanation of the course of note-taking, theoretical analysis of current note-taking methods, and developing criteria for note-taking effectiveness. By correlating and analyzing Saussures theory and note-taking studies, this essay will approach these aspects in the following sections. It develops three continua to identify the key aspects of different note-taking strategies: the diversity of symbols, the length and number of words, and the preference for either words or symbols. The conclusion suggests that all CI note-taking strategies are fundamental variations of the distribution of two key resources, cognitive load and time, to achieve two objectives: to serve as auxiliary memory and language reminder. The three continua represent two basic features of notes: volume and language dependency. Despite different focuses on various strategies, practitioners are suggested to adopt a method suitable for their specific capabilities.

The paper analyzes the reasons for the booming German economy from three aspects: imports and exports, labor, and social welfare. The nation has witnessed substantial export growth, particularly compared to its European counterparts. This economic achievement can be attributed to elements like practicing wage restraint and capitalizing on the opportunities presented by Chinas market liberalization, resulting in a significant upswing in exports to China. The labor market in Germany has witnessed substantial enhancements since 2005, marked by the creation of jobs and a remarkable reduction in the unemployment rate. These transformations can be linked to labor market reforms initiated in the early 2000s, commonly called the Hartz reforms. Germany boasts an extensive social welfare system with historical roots dating back to the 19th century. This system encompasses various life facets, including healthcare, pension provisions, accident coverage, nursing care, and unemployment support. The adaptability of this welfare system is underscored as it remains open to ongoing negotiations and adjustments, particularly in response to demographic shifts.

Content-Based Instruction (CBI) is a novel approach that delivers a systematic preparation to acquire English language skills within a specific context. This paper demonstrates the basic postulates of how the elements of grammar are effectively taught by this approach. It brings a profound study of the essential characteristics of Content-Based Instruction that is well-suited to teaching language learners. In the case of both speaking and writing skills, the learner is expected to ascertain the nuances and the essentialities of the English language. A firm ground to the exposure of the grammatical regulations gives an edge to the learning language when it comes to practical usage. Grammar rules and regulates its stature as a sure foundation of language learning. Content-Based Instruction is an approach that aids young learners to imbibe listening, speaking, reading and writing skills and to utilize them in real-life activities. Content-Based Instruction is an amalgamation of content learning with its focus on English verbal communication. The major endeavour of the CBI is to provide learners with a grasp of the grammatical systems that functions in the language. One of the conditions that the CBI claims to fulfil is that it focuses on the use of the language in its form and function. Grammar is an unwavering referral point and maintains an undisputable position when it deals with the never-ending patterns of human utterances. Content-Based Instruction functions effectively with authentic content and continuously upgraded and trained tutors. This paper propounds that grammar has to be instructed by experienced teachers with inexplicit input from an expert who gives weightage to the practical and pragmatic application of the language, unlike the followers of the traditional grammarians and grammar-translation method who stop within the arena of teaching only by trying to figure out grammatical properties. By involving students in language study through interactions and various classroom activities, Content-Based Instruction has gained a position on its own in aiding learners to utilize the English language in their everyday application.

This article examines the utilization of high-frequency words in Yu Guangzhong’s self-translated poetry through a corpus-driven analysis. The objective is to explore the presence of equivalence and inequivalence in the translations executed by Yu Guangzhong himself. The utilization of modal verbs, lexical bundles, and keywords has been analyzed in various contexts, such as novels and speeches. However, studies that compare disparities in the use of high-frequency words between the source and target languages within poetry translation are scarce. The original and self-translated poetry corpora of Yu Guangzhong have been constructed at the word level to enhance the original texts’ co-occurrence and corresponding translations. In the comprehensive self-translation of his eighty-five poems, Yu Guangzhong encounters challenges in achieving an equitable distribution of equivalent words between the target and original texts. It is observed that most high-frequency words in Yu Guangzhong’s original and target texts lack equivalence in use and meaning. Although two of the three poems analyzed individually mainly achieve equivalence, this discrepancy might be attributed to the translator’s utilization of literal and word-for-word translations.
