Fallen Stars: A Comparative Study of the Poetic Works of John Keats and Li He
Authors: Pan Yining
Published: December 2023

Due to the short lives and similar poetic styles, the British Romantic poet John Keats and Li He from the Mid-Tang dynasty have always been the hotspot for research. However, most past research compared them by stating the superficial, factual details and failed to address their subtle differences and attribute them. Therefore, this paper aims to compare the pursuit of the ideal, use of imagery, and presence of the narrator to thoroughly contrast Keats’ and Li He’s poetic works and then propose personal and cultural reasons for such differences. It is concluded that Keats pursued poetry to reach the idealized integration, while poetry for Li was a means to enter the political arena until reality turned him down. Regarding imagery, Keats followed the “the death of beauty” pattern, while Li directly utilized macabre imagery to express his poignancy. Finally, Keats’ narrator demonstrates a shift between “realm with the poet” and “without the poet” due to his existential anxiety, while Li’s work demonstrates an unorthodox “realm without the poet”, where the narrator utterly detaches himself from the poem. While Keats’ poetry highlights a struggle to grasp the ideal, metaphorically an impeded upward tendency, Li He’s poetry reflects a downward tendency of merely portraying the macabre, the grotesque, and the degenerate. Personally, this could be attributed to Keats’ internal locus of control and Li’s external locus of control, while culturally, abundant social outlets for a poet in 19th century England and limiting careers for those in the Mid-Tang dynasty explained those discrepancies.
The Pursuit of Individual Value and Free Expression: A Comparative Study of the Eastern and Western Renaissance and Its Impact on Modern Society
Authors: Ma Hongjie
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to explore the connection between the Renaissance in Europe from the 14th to the 17th centuries and the cultural Renaissance in China from the Song to the Ming dynasties. In particular, it focuses on the research background of the two historical periods, and the research theme includes a comparative analysis of the historical background, conceptual nature, artistic expression and social impact of the Eastern and Western Renaissance. The study found that despite the significant differences in the background, core ideas and ways of expression of the two revivals, they both reflected the universal spiritual needs of human beings - emphasizing individual values and pursuing free expression. At the same time, these two Renaissance not only profoundly changed their respective regions, but their global influence also affected the whole world through channels such as the Silk Road. In addition, the paper examines the role and influence of these revival movements in the context of global cultural exchange. The results show that they have promoted the reconciliation of previously hostile cultural circles and formed a stable state of peace. Thus, by studying the East-West Renaissance, in this paper, the author can gain a new perspective on cultural exchange and understanding in the current era of globalization.
Do these widely believed factors really affect college students' grades?
Authors: Ye Rongxuan
Published: December 2023

Presumably everyone knows that the grades of college students are generally not ideal. As far as our daily cognition is concerned, the factors that determine the grades of college students are nothing more than hard work, the quality of the learning environment, and the education of the family. But I think everyone has a certain misunderstanding about the determinants of college students' grades. As a college student, I can clearly feel that university study is completely different from middle school study. Here I have selected a few typical indicators that everyone believes influence college student grades, explored the reasons for this, and tested whether this is the case.
The Application of Geometry in Leonardo’s Works: Take the Annunciation for Example
Authors: Li Kening
Published: December 2023

There is a close connection between geometry and art. Since mathematicians discovered the Golden Ratio, it has been widely used in painting, design, architecture, and other fields. In the development of perspective, the mathematical principles explored by geometry played a very important role. This research uses observation and literature research methods to analyze Leonardo Da Vinci's Annunciation. The research proves that Leonardo's Annunciation used the Golden Ratio in composition and perspective in completing the narrative of the painting. In the end, the study demonstrates the impact of the application of geometry to art during the Renaissance. For paintings, the application of the Golden Ratio and perspective can produce a sense of time and space, showing the environment and process of events. For geometry, geometry application shows the geometry of the achievements in art, expanding the application field of geometry. In addition, the application of geometry also makes painting a special existence that is different from words.
The Influence of Classical Chinese Poetry on the Innovation of Ezra Pound
Authors: Xiang Yingying
Published: December 2023

Recognised as one of the 20th century’s most challenging poets, Ezra Pound made a major contribution to modernist poetry. Inspired by ancient Chinese poetry, Pound was drawn to its vivid imagery and concise diction. He was determined to supersede the Victorian style of complicated verse and breathe fresh energy into poetry. This essay provides a detailed analysis of Pound’s most well-known composition, In a Station of the Metro, which is characterised by its modern and exotic elements. Contrasted with his translation work, Taking Leave of a Friend, selected from Cathay, this paper aims to analyse Pound’s renewal of imagery, language and metres. After the World War I, Pound became increasingly engaged with Chinese Confucian literature and resolved to write a chapter in his modern epic poem, Cantos, to address the indispensable role of Confucian culture in the restoration of post-war civilisation. Therefore, this article additionally evaluates his innovation within the context of his China Cantos and further investigates how Pound’s imagism paved the way for modernist poetry. It is also hoped that this essay will serve as a valuable resource for future studies on related topics.

A Study on the Influence of Halo Effect: Teaching Evaluation in Junior and Senior High Schools
Authors: Huang Jing , Peng Yicheng , Zheng Kehui
Published: December 2023

Teaching evaluation plays an indispensable role in continuously improving the education system and promoting talent cultivation in today's society. The Halo effect, as a common cognitive bias, also affects educational evaluation all the time. Therefore, understanding how the Halo effect affects education evaluation, how it affects, and how to find ways to reduce the deviation caused by the Halo effect are the current core content. Based on previous scholars' research on the Halo effect and teaching evaluation, this paper adopts the method of systematic literature review, and analyzes, incorporates, and summarizes how the Halo effect operates in education evaluation and how much it has influenced from different perspectives, including students and teachers, subjects, grade of students, and different types of schools. Through literature collection, it has been found that both parents and students map to other aspects due to a certain characteristic of the teacher, such as the teaching ability of a certain course. First impressions can affect the evaluation of other abilities. And students often have biases based on the appearance and clothing of teachers when they first meet them and then pass these biases on to the teachers, which can have a significant impact on teaching evaluation. These are all common. The deviation caused by the Halo effect can be reduced mainly through three aspects: first impression, understanding in detail and view from a developmental perspective, and improving professional quality.
A Review of Research on the Effects of Intergenerational Parenting on Children's Emotional Control
Authors: Han Xinyi
Published: December 2023

Intergenerational parenting, also known as "intergenerational education," has gradually become a common phenomenon in family education. With social changes, the family structure has produced relatively significant changes. As intergenerational parenting has become increasingly common, it has also received more and more attention from scholars. Researchers have discussed and studied the causes, advantages, disadvantages, and effects on children's psychological development. However, there is still a lack of research on the effects on children's emotional regulation. This study focuses on the effects of intergenerational parenting on children's emotion regulation. It summarizes the existing research from the overview of intergenerational parenting (including definition, types, and effects on grandchildren), the overview of children's emotion regulation (including definition, strategies, and influencing factors), and the effects of intergenerational parenting on children's emotion regulation. The emergence of intergenerational parenting has changed the original structure of the family. Therefore, under the situation that the problem of intergenerational parenting is becoming more and more popular, how to improve the quality of intergenerational education and how to help children grow up healthily under intergenerational education will become the focus of attention of the majority of child-rearing families and society in China. This study will also provide a series of recommendations on the impact of intergenerational parenting on children's emotions and family structure.
Influence and Implications of Parenting Styles on Young Children's Concentration
Authors: Chen Jialu
Published: December 2023

This study explores the relationship between parenting styles and children's ability to concentrate. The focus of this research is to investigate the influence of parental parenting styles on children's attentional abilities, as parenting styles play a crucial role in shaping children's behaviors, cognitive development, and various abilities. While several studies have examined the link between parenting styles and different aspects of child development, research specifically investigating the relationship between parenting styles and children's ability to concentrate is limited. To address this research gap, a total of 133 children aged between 5 and 7 years, along with their parents, participated in this study. Parenting styles were assessed using a parenting style questionnaire, and interviews were conducted with parents regarding their young children's ability to concentrate. The results revealed a positive association between authoritative and democratic parenting styles and high levels of child attention. In contrast, doting and neglectful parenting styles showed negative associations with children's concentration abilities. Additionally, the study explored the role of gender in moderating the relationship between parenting styles and attention. These findings contribute to understanding parental influences on children's cognitive development and provide insights into potential educational and parental interventions to enhance children's ability to concentrate.

Authors: Yan Yan Wing
Published: December 2023

Autism, a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, is characterized by deficits in verbal and nonverbal communication, repetitive and stereotypical behavior patterns and interests, and sensory sensitivities. Despite the increasing prevalence of autism, there is limited research on the education of children with autism. This study compares the autism education policies in Mainland China and Hong Kong based on field research conducted at the Shunde District Shangliao Children Rehabilitation Center and Aoi School. The findings reveal that although there have been improvements in the education of children with autism in Mainland China, there are still several deficiencies compared to Hong Kong, including limited educational opportunities, low integration with mainstream schools, and a shortage of qualified educators. Recommendations are provided to enhance the educational landscape for children with autism, including increasing educational opportunities, supporting the development of special education in mainstream schools, fostering collaboration between rehabilitation centers and mainstream schools, promoting inclusive education, and providing professional training for teachers. These suggestions aim to advance autism education policies in Mainland China.

The Correlation Between Editability and Self-esteem
Authors: Tang Shaohan
Published: December 2023

The use of social media technologies is surging at an astonishing rate. The number of users who edit their photos before posting them to gain more attention and to boost their self-confidence is constantly increasing. In the meantime, their self-esteem is being influenced either positively or adversely. Many scholarly investigations focused on photo editing and its influence on the self-esteem of individuals utilizing social media platforms have predominantly affirmed the notable impact of this cultural phenomenon on users' self-esteem. By reviewing previous studies, this paper references and critically examines a collection of scholarly literature, focusing on the relationship between editability and self-esteem. The present argument proposes that the photo-editing proficiency of the majority of users has an evident effect on their self-esteem. A number of papers in this field have tackled subjects related to body image and social comparison, clarifying the connection between editability and self-esteem by examining these two concepts. This paper concludes that editability mainly influences the user’s self-esteem, explaining the reason with two concepts -- social comparison and body image. The significance of this review is to assist researchers in finding studies that discuss editability and self-esteem, as well as related areas. Further research should delve more into how the use of filters and Photoshop apps affect the public’s self-esteem.

Authors: Liu Shengruner , Wu Xingchen , Yuan Jiani
Published: December 2023

Criminal behavior has a negative impact on society, family and the future development of individuals, so it is necessary to explore the factors that affect individual criminal behavior. Existing studies have found that individual criminal behavior is influenced by multiple factors, among which environmental impact is particularly important. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the environmental factors that affect individual crime, the present study explored the effects of family factors, school factors, and social factors on the individual crime behavior. This article summarizes multiple literature to further study the environmental factors that influence individual criminal behavior and the article will also cover the disharmony of family relationships in the family environment, campus bullying between students and language violence between teachers and students in the campus environment, as well as the impact of social media, economic underdevelopment, the layout of living space, and cultural factors on individual crime in the social environment.
Exploring Experiential Learning: Enhancing Secondary School Chemistry Education Through Practical Engagement and Innovation
Authors: Yao Junchao
Published: December 2023

Experiential learning, characterized by hands-on engagement and active knowledge construction, has gained prominence in education. This shift is in response to the limitations of traditional teaching methods, which often emphasize passive learning and fail to connect classroom knowledge with practical applications. In the context of secondary school chemistry, experiential learning offers the potential to address these shortcomings, providing students with opportunities for active exploration, concept comprehension, and critical thinking development. This article explores the application of experiential learning techniques in secondary school chemistry classrooms. Experiential learning theories emphasize learner-centered, hands-on engagement to promote active knowledge construction. In chemistry education, experiential methods like experiments and simulations motivate student interest, enhance concept comprehension, and build critical thinking abilities. However, realizing experiential learning's potential requires addressing attendant challenges regarding safety, resources, and assessment. Chemistry experiments carry risks of burns, explosions, and mishaps. Schools in underdeveloped regions need more lab equipment, reagents, and training. Precisely evaluating student knowledge and skill improvements through process-focused experiential activities also poses difficulties. Adaptive virtual learning platforms provide safer and more accessible experiment simulations, enabling personalized learning and detailed performance tracking. Although focusing specifically on chemistry, this essay indicates experiential learning's immense capacity to reinvigorate science education more broadly.
The Effectiveness of Art Therapy on Social Development in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Authors: Jia Xiaoxi
Published: December 2023

People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are characterized by having problems with communication, behaviors, and social interactions. Art therapy (AT) is recognized as an effective way to deal with the difficulties of ASD since it is accessible and applicable. The application of AT at an early age can raise the possibility that one with ASD can improve the symptoms. Past studies suggested that two main deficits of ASD are psychosocial problems and social-reward processing problems. The mechanisms that make AT effective are still unclear. Communication, sense of self, eye contact, tolerance of unexpected consequences, establishing of social relationships, and decrease in anxiety level can support the development of social skills. Incorporating behavioral techniques into AT can exert a greater influence on the enhancement of problem behaviors. The means, goals, outcomes, and factors that work for AT are discussed and become essential elements of AT. The application of art materials, the artwork of children, and the attachment of art therapists can contribute to the progress of forming relationships, facilitating interactions, and alleviating self-stimulatory behaviors as well as anxiety levels. Follow-up observations and transformations of AT are recommended to be completed in future research. This review can provide some suggestions for the development of intervention programs at schools.

However, this paper posits that the active engagement of students in school governance serves as not only a tool for developing their future civic skills, but also an effective strategy for surmounting the obstacles inherent to civic education. In summary, this manuscript accentuates the crucial role of student voice in shaping civic education and cultivating a more inclusive school environment.
What factors shape a serial murderer?
Authors: Yang Meixuan
Published: December 2023

Serial murderers have long been a subject of fascination and concern in the fields of criminology and psychology. This article explores the multifaceted factors that contribute to the emergence of serial killers, including childhood trauma, mental illnesses, and sociocultural influences. Research indicates that childhood trauma, including abuse, neglect, and adoption-related issues, can significantly shape an individual's propensity for violence in adulthood. Mental illnesses, such as antisocial personality disorder, psychopathy, and sadistic traits, are also key factors that increase the risk of serial killing behaviors. Sociocultural factors, including cultural values, social support networks, and media portrayal, play a pivotal role in molding individuals' values, mental well-being, and opportunities for criminal activities. Understanding these interconnected factors is crucial for identifying and preventing serial killings, ultimately contributing to a safer society.
The Relationship Between Mental Illnesses and Aggressive Behavior
Authors: He Simin
Published: December 2023

As criminal behaviors and crime rates continue to rise, the sphere of influence wielded by criminals also expands. This surge in criminal activity not only inflicts enduring harm upon the victims and the families of offenders but also triggers a pervasive questioning of public security regulations within society. Consequently, the imperative study of the underlying factors contributing to criminal behavior has become both crucial and indispensable. Taking a broad perspective, it is evident that individuals, families, and society as a whole play significant roles in shaping the root causes of criminality. In this study, special attention is drawn to the profound impact of mental illness on criminal behavior. This study aims to synthesize existing research, focusing on the influence of three relatively common mental illnesses—schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, and antisocial personality disorder—on criminal behaviors. In this study, we will try to decelop in-depth knowledge of intricate between mental illness and criminality. Through this study, we seek to gain a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between mental health and criminality.

Research on the Gap Between Urban and Rural Teacher Resources Based on Data and Case Analysis
Authors: Zhang Yu
Published: December 2023

With the development of society, the trend of urbanization is becoming clearer and faster. Despite its advantages, this trend also brings education an unignorable problem: The diverse Urban-Rural Gaps of Teachers. For students from rural areas, the gap in teacher resources may cause them hard to get sufficient education and can’t accumulate enough knowledge to live a better life as a result. Although this is a significant problem, only a few papers offer this topic. So the author will introduce this topic and discuss the possible solutions to it by data analysis and successful cases reference. In conclusion, the Urban-rural gap in teachers’ number has been narrowed a lot in recent years but the teacher-student ratio still remains unreasonable. The teacher quality gap between urban and rural areas is being widened with the Informatization, especially in the academic qualifications, age structure and on-the-job training preference. To gradually narrow the gap, Japan's "Teacher Regular Flow System" and "Special Allowance System" can be referred to by China. Also, the government should increase the financial support for teaching in rural areas as well as encourage informatization in poor counties in order to strengthen the attractiveness of talent in rural areas.

Impact of Changes in the Policy of Caring for Left-behind Children on the Educational Problems of Left-behind Children
Authors: Zhang Yakun
Published: December 2023

To make it possible to construct a socialist nation-state and implement the plan for rural revitalisation, it is crucial to address the educational problems of rural children who are left-behind. In this regard, this article starts from a policy-making and implementation perspective and considers the impact of policy changes in caring for those children on the educational problems of them. The article uses literature analysis to analyse China’s policies related to left-behind children from 2003 to 2023. Through the method of textual analysis, the article concludes that the policy system has gone through three stages: the stage of constructing authoritative tools, the stage of cultivating capacity-building tools, and the stage of developing endogenous incentive tools. Currently, China's policies on caring for left-behind children have already become a comprehensive and systematic system, with the characteristics of multi-agency collaborative nurturing and have a certain mitigating effect on the educational problems of this group. The policy's impact on the education of those children is certain. However, there are still shortcomings in the implementation and evaluation of the current policy system, and there is a need to continue to improve the safety management system and the evaluation system, and implement the responsibilities of the main bodies, so that China can encourage the policy system related to children who are left-behind to be implementation.

The Impact of the Russo-Ukrainian War on Russia's Macroeconomy
Authors: Liu Zong
Published: December 2023

On February 24, 2022, the largest war in Europe since World War II, the Russo-Ukrainian War broke out. The war on the Russian macroeconomy is one of the key issues in today's research. Researchers have found that sanctions have had a squeeze and impact on the Russian economy, however, there is a lack of a unified explanation and perception of the war in Ukraine on the Russian macroeconomy. Therefore, this paper explores various aspects of the Russian economy by collecting and organizing data on the Russian economy to investigate the impact of the war in Russia and Ukraine on the Russian macroeconomy.

Unmasking Orientalism: Stereotypes in Education and Media in 20th Century America and Europe
Authors: Ye Tianxiang
Published: December 2023

This article examines the influence of Orientalism in both education and media during the 20th century in the United States and other European countries. The analysis highlights the significance of Orientalism and how it contributed to the stereotypes in education and the media. This research paper draws upon a diverse range of sources, including American textbooks, American and European films, and newspapers in the United States and across Europe in the 20th century. While the article briefly touches on Orientalism in education and media generally, its primary focus lies in dissecting Orientalist themes within American and European textbooks, films, and newspapers from this era. The examination of textbooks reveals how both Americans and Europeans portrayed Asians through a lens tinted by stereotypes and occasional hostilities. Likewise, in the realm of films and newspapers, an abundance of questionable Orientalist elements often misled readers and viewers, fostering a distorted understanding of Oriental cultures. These works, laden with biases, readily engendered stereotypes of Asians among European audiences. By shedding light on these dynamics, this research paper seeks to catalyze a positive transformation in American and European education and media, while also offering a challenge to the enduring presence of Orientalism.

Exploring Elements Linked to School Bullying in China: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Lai Beisheng
Published: December 2023

This review seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of factors associated with school bullying on an individual level and societal level in China. Several important trends in the field have been identified. These include the findings that experiences of childhood maltreatment, mental health, gender, and school types are positively associated with school bullying. On the contrary, strong teacher-student bonds, a communal atmosphere within the school, and high academic achievement serve as safeguards against school bullying. Despite the substantial body of research, research on the nationwide occurrence of school bullying, particularly in less developed regions of China, is still insufficient. Additionally, a notable constraint in existing studies is their reliance on cross-sectional data, which hinders the establishment of causal relationships. These discoveries carry significant implications for forthcoming investigations into school bullying within China and for the development of effective school-based interventions.
