Authors: Zhang Yitian
Published: September 2023

With the rapid development of science and technology, the Internet has gradually become a channel for teenagers to interact with the outside world. Therefore, from the perspective of developmental psychology, this study combines Kohlbergs moral theory and Eriksons development theory to analyze the influence of the Internet on adolescents. In addition, this study provides strategies for teachers and parents to strengthen the positive effects of the Internet and reduce the negative effects of the Internet. The result shows that it can bring some benefits to adolescents, such as helping adolescents to achieve self-identity and meeting the needs of communication and emotional expression. However, it can also have a negative influence on some teenagers. For example, harmful Internet information may make them set up the wrong values. In addition, cyberbullying, a new form of bullying derived from the Internet, can lead to depression problems in adolescents. Specifically, for positive effects, teachers can ask classmates to complete homework that requires using the Internet, and parents can teach children to use the Internet to a limited extent. For negative influences, teachers and parents should convey correct values to teenagers, communicate with teenagers on an equal footing, and help teenagers establish a growth mindset.

Research on the Current Status of the Revision of Japanese Constitution Article 9
Authors: Li Yueying
Published: September 2023

A constitution sets out the most fundamental rules of a country, and the rule of law warrants the country to act in accordance with its constitutional laws. Because of the supreme status of the constitution, complicated procedures are commonly required for constitutional revision. A constitution is rarely revised unless vital; however, persistent appeals for constitutional revision in Japan have arisen since the last century. Debates revolve mainly around Article 9, also known as the "peace clause", of which Japan claims to renounce war and war potentials for international peace. Supporters contend Article 9 allows Japan to concentrate on economic development, and prevents the militarist resurgence that had victimized countless people both inside and outside Japan in World War II. Yet, dissenters tend to deem that Article 9 could hinder Japans rights to self-defense. Despite decades of efforts made by constitutional revisionists, the Japanese constitution remains unchanged since its promulgation. Therefore, a need arose for this paper to investigate the peace clause to find out why its revision has been tremendously difficult. By reviewing the interpretations and enforcement of Article 9 through secondary sources, this paper also suggests that Article 9 should indeed be revised.

Authors: Hu Jiayi
Published: September 2023

This paper shows the connection between gun policy and crime rate and the public attitude towards the gun policy after a mass shooting and discusses how to prevent gun shootings in the United States. We found that there is less connection between gun policy and crime rate. Mass shootings are highly related to the death rate. The publics attitude also relates to mass shootings and gun policy. By studying the papers of others, we found that gun policies have a powerful impact on American society, especially after significant shootings. People's attitudes towards gun policy will change after a principal shooting, whether by gun owners or non-gun owners, but the change will not last long. At the same time, different states under different parties will have different ways of implementing gun policies. Many investigators have suggested that the federal government should strengthen background checks on applicants to prevent mass shootings. Gun policies need to be more strictly enforced, not only by the government but also by communities and individuals within their spheres. This has a more noticeable effect on preventing large-scale shootings.

Authors: Wang Keyi
Published: September 2023

Urban sprawl in China has become a common trend in urban history, thus, urban villages form during the process which contains both urban and rural characteristics. Among all the urban village management cases in China, Liede Village, Guangzhou, seems to be typically outstanding. It experienced regeneration from a poor urban village with chaos to a prosperous financial and retailing center in Pearl River New Town. The government followed ne-oliberal urbanism by decentralizing the central power and letting the market determine the urban plans. Public, private firms, and the village committee all played an important role in decision-making, helping Liede Village to build a new success in the 21st century. However, these approaches also had disadvantages in terms of tokenism of public participation and postponing information from mainstream media. Overall, some parts of the urban village management methods are acceptable, but they can never be copied without further consideration.

The Relationship Between Language and Thinking from the Perspective of Conceptual Metaphor
Authors: Qu Fangying , Wang Siyu
Published: September 2023

There has been a heated debate between the view that language determines thought and the view that thought determines language. An important point of discussion on this issue is that relating to metaphor. Metaphor is a universal phenomenon, not only as a linguistic and rhetorical device but also as a cognitive tool for human beings. While Chinese metaphors are usually short and concise, often conveying meaning in a single word, metaphors in English are usually complex sentences that require the reader to establish a larger context in order to understand them. But they also share many of the same or similar metaphors. English and Chinese, as two languages developed in different cultural contexts, both adopt similar concepts in expressing temperature and use the concept of temperature metaphor to express similar content. The article aims to examine the similarities and differences between the English and Chinese concepts of temperature and to give examples of the similarities and differences between English and Chinese temperature to argue its point. The article also compares the conceptual domain of temperature in English and Chinese and finds that ways of thinking that come from the same bodily experience create similar linguistic expressions, ultimately concluding that thinking significantly influenced language.

Researchers of Japanese anime seldom pay attention to gender transitioning as a subgenre, and scholars of gender studies rarely consider how Japanese anime, with its huge influence on transgender communities in Japan, affects the way Japanese people perceive gender transitioning. This paper connects the two fields to examine issues that have often been neglected.

Authors: Huang Zimeng
Published: September 2023

Nowadays, it is easy to take for granted the connection between Buddhism and Chinese culture. However, Buddhism was originally from India, and passed into China as a foreign religion. One particular period that Buddhism began to blend which Chinese culture appeared to be the Southern and Northern dynasties. The active nomadic activities during this period introduced both the possibility and need of Buddhism as a part of Chinese society. After this period, Buddhism truly gained momentum in Chinese history. This paper will examine Buddhisms unique means of propagation, specifically how Buddhism managed to wield both interpretive and political power as important tools. Such observations could yield insight into the dynamics of political interactions in ancient China, as well as how such a structure incorporated religions and common culture into its reign. The paper hypothesizes that Buddhisms ability to build connection with Chinese society was due to its unique power of flexibility and persuasion, which suited the political backdrop of the Southern and Northern dynasties well. This paper will discuss and seek to validate this thesis through three lenses: royal support, governance, and translation. The discussion will involve interpreting scrolls written by the ancient Chinese, to signify the contemporary political and intellectual importance of Buddhism.

Authors: Zheng Ziyu
Published: September 2023

The novel by Wendelin Van Draanen with the same name serves as the inspiration for the film Flipped . The film portrays the nostalgic emotions between young boys and girls as it narrates a young and lovely love story in America in the early 1960s. At the same time, the film also features the writer's thoughts and consideration of societal contents underlying the development of the natural environment and the image of women. Feminism embodies both the resistance of the underprivileged and the symbol of good nature. As the foundation, this paper explored how well the natural world shaped women's social consciousness and discoursed from the perspective of eco-feminism. Additionally, the paper also discusses the impact of environmental factors that contributed to the film's vivid environmental episodes, pays close attention to the struggles of the female supporting characters in the context of the times, and emphasizes how the environment and even the discourse of women are oppressive. Its statement of the notion that nature and women are linked and mutually reinforcing also provides a fresh viewpoint on the investigation of how women are portrayed in culture. The patriarchal environment's ideas of duality and hierarchical division have been turned on its head.

Authors: Yang Jinwen
Published: September 2023

With the promotion of law-based governance in China, laws and regulations play an ever more important role in our country whilst placing further demands on PRC law translation. Guided by previous research, this paper conducts a comparative study into the adjective phenomenon from the two selected corpus--the Model Penal Code and the PRC Criminal Law, respectively representing professional legal discourse and Chinese law translation. Concerning the research result, the author concludes the legal norms drawn from Model Penal Code and puts forward improvement proposals for the official Chinese-English law translations in terms of adjective distribution and category choices. The findings demonstrate that legal language tends to avoid adjectives and that thick concepts are more commonly used due to their evaluative intensity. By contributing to the promotion of future C-E legal translation, this paper aims to support China's legal system in its increasingly important role on the global stage.

Authors: Kuang Zhuoqi
Published: September 2023

The title of a film is an important factor in attracting audiences and markets. The same film in English is often released in different Chinese translations in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. According to the skopos theory, the purpose of translation determines the whole process and result of translation; the specific purpose of translation of a film title determines the uniqueness of its translation. Starting from skopos theory perspective, the paper compares and analyses the differences and the reasons behind the translations of specific film titles from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is found that mainland China tends to translate English titles in a more direct and conservative manner, while Hong Kong and Taiwan tend to translate them in a more paraphrased manner and with local language characteristics. The possible reasons for these differences lie in the different attitudes towards film, social mechanisms and linguistic and cultural differences between the three places.

The Impact of Public Resource Allocation on Housing Prices Taking Chengdu as an Example
Authors: Gao Qingying
Published: September 2023

This paper examines the impact of public resource allocation on housing prices and uses Chengdu as an example for analysis. By comparing education, healthcare, and transportation in each district of Chengdu, the study finds that public resource allocation and housing prices in Chengdu are positively correlated and that education and healthcare resources are more strongly correlated with property prices. Both public resources and property prices in Chengdu show a general trend of "circle + radial" diffusion, decreasing from the first to the third circle. After comparing the public resources and property prices in each district, it is clear that there is still a large gap between districts. This paper argues that the government should increase the construction of public resources and optimize talent policies in the surrounding areas in order to alleviate the disparity between districts, disperse the pressure on public resources in each district in the first circle, and promote coordinated urban development.
