Authors: Sun Haoxuan , Xu Xingyu , Guo Ruilin , Li Nuo , Feng Tinglu
Published: June 2023

Social media platforms policies aim to restrict cyberbullying. However, there is little study on whether these policies are effective. The primary aim of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness of the Weibo policy between 2012-2022 against cyberbullying and find a way to strengthen its effectiveness. We studied the Case of Liu Xuezhou, which is a typical example of cyberbullying. By studying the case and analyzing how relevant policies of Weibo worked or failed in preventing the case, this research found that although Weibo does have a policy to prevent cyberbullying, they are delayed and ineffective. Thus, when netizens encounter cyberbullying, the policies against cyber violence have little power in preventing its happening or help reducing the harm suffered by victims. Weibo, as one of the biggest social media platforms in China, should strengthen the prevention and regulation of cyberbullying by increasing the effectiveness of these policies' terminology and enforcement. Meanwhile, netizens should improve their ability to distinguish between right and wrong and participate in the prevention of cyberbullying themselves.

Prosecution of Governmental Figures: An Obstacle in the Path to Peace
Authors: Tsai Kai Cheng
Published: June 2023

Amongst numerous conflicts in the status quo that have devastated economies and resulted in massive human life losses, international criminal law must turn away from the hollow principles of justice and accountability; instead, an alternative of impunity and peace is preferable. This paper challenges the traditional notion that government officials who lead and are responsible for crimes recognized by the International Criminal Court (ICC) should be prosecuted by said committee. It will explore how prosecution hinders the functionality of peace processes and negotiations while analyzing its impact on the incentive for leaders to intensify and prolong conflicts. Lastly, this paper suggests an alternative to impunity through mechanisms such as establishing Truth and Reconciliation Commissions and blanket amnesties as a more sustainable option to maintain peace. Justice cannot come without consensus, which is a prerequisite to justice.

Published: June 2023

Under the background of globalization, diversified narrative approaches have been increasingly adopted in international news reports in the context of new media, leading to varying degrees of influence on the audiences opinion. In virtue of their fast-paced, penetrative and fragmented contents, short video communication platforms, represented by TikTok, cater to peoples reading needs in the rush of modern life. They are also found to differ from traditional media in the reporting and dissemination of major news events. On July 8, 2022, Shinzo Abe, former Prime Minister of Japan and a current member of the House of Representatives, was shot and killed during his street speech in Nara City, Nara Prefecture. After the incident, many relevant news reports and short videos emerged on the platform of TikTok, with different emotional attitudes highly perceivable from users comments. Based on the Theory of News Narratology, this article collects and encodes first-hand data from 100 short videos with the largest number of likes after July 8 and 9 on the short video platform of TikTok, such as video length, release time, video presentation mode, narrative approach and music style, and explores the impact of different narrative approaches and elements in international news reports on the attitude and behavioral orientation of Internet users using the method of content analysis. The results of comparative analysis show that the audiences comment tone is relatively flat under the sad style of music and the short news videos with low timeliness; the narrative approach of incorporating subjective comments and human participation into short videos is conducive to the rational return of public opinion.

In the era of social media, it is essential for the rise of feminism to fight for their discourse right and to speak up rationally. The awakening of women's self-awareness and the reduction of women being seen, fantasized, objectified, and consumed are not only essential parts of gender studies but also indispensable propositions of media studies, in which social media plays a crucial role. Also, the dilemma of cultural discrimination that feminism, as a non-traditional and imported culture, is currently encountering in China, as mentioned in this essay, is also worthy of attention and further exploration in future feminist studies in China.

Analysis of the Irreplaceability of Offline Relationship
Authors: Huang Tianchun
Published: June 2023

During covid 19, traditional offline social interaction becomes difficult. Benefiting from the availability of social media, people are increasingly relying on social media to socialize. Can social media interaction replace real-life interaction? Is a social media-based relationship a sufficient substitution for a real relationship? This article divides social media interaction into reciprocal and non-reciprocal and compares two different social media interactions with real-life interactions. For the reciprocal social media interaction, The first research question distinguishes computer-mediated communication (CMC) from face-to-face (FtF) and discusses the possibility of CMC replacing FtF. Because the absence of social cues cannot be made up, CMC is not a sufficient substitute for FtF. For the non-reciprocal social media interaction, the second research question focuses on parasocial interaction-induced parasocial relationships. Because of non-reciprocality and lack of authenticity, the parasocial relationship is not a good substitute for a real relationship. In conclusion, social media relationship is not a sufficient substitute for a real relationship, but they can be used as a good supplement to a real relationship. The difference between reciprocal social media relationships and non-reciprocal social media relationships is also discussed. Reciprocal social media relationships and real relationships are interchangeable, while non-reciprocal social media relationships cannot transform into real relationships.

Authors: Dai Ying
Published: June 2023

The development of the Hanfu movement in modern China reflects the Chinese peoples quest for national identity. Hanfu is the traditional dress of the Han nation. Initially, some Hanfu activists attempted to use Hanfu to restore the core status of the Han nation in China. Later, Hanfu became more popular among the Chinese public and represented increasing Chinese cultural influence abroad. However, the association of the Hanfu movement with nationalism has not been widely studied. It is introduced Benediction Andersons imagined communities, Anthony Smiths ethno-symbolism, and Manuel Castellss three identities in the age of the Internet in the paper to explore the changes in the construction of Han Chinese identity at different times in China and the flow of nationalist sentiment. In addition, the network soil and radical nationalism at the birth of the Hanfu Movement are also noteworthy. This is linked to the modern online forms of nationalism and the new issues of Chinese nationalism in the context of online media under the control of the Chinese government to remind the future Hanfu movement not to fall into a narrow nationalist dilemma.

Reasonable Motivations and Barriers for College Students to Effectively Sort Household Waste
Authors: Zhang Heng
Published: June 2023

The amount of trash generated by college students on campus is enormous, with the average college student generating up to 640 pounds of trash per year, most of which accumulates at the end of the year when they move out of school. It has become a very wasteful annual tradition for many students to choose not to sort their trash and simply concentrate on throwing away most of their personal items and start over the next year to repurchase them. This waste is largely avoidable, as much of it can still be used. If the promotion of student waste sorting is to be successful, it is important to understand the motivations and barriers to students not sorting their waste. This paper examines this by constructing a Nash equilibrium model of the MSU student-school game and by conducting semi-structured interviews with students. It is found that there are several very focused reasons for students' motivations and barriers for not sorting garbage. Although college students have begun their higher education, the scope of their education is frequently limited, and many of them still lack common-sense knowledge about garbage sorting. College students often prefer to spend their time on social, athletic, and academic activities, which gives most students an excuse for being pressed for time and believing they do not have the time to do the tedious task of sorting garbage. At the same time, many students believe that everything they do will have a substantial gain for them; socializing will increase their popularity, and studying is the obvious direct gain of knowledge, compared to which sorting garbage does not seem to be so outstanding. On the other hand, there are problems with the school's management. Many students report that the school lacks garbage cans to sort garbage. These hindrances often limit the motivation of college students to sort their garbage.

Authors: Xu Andi
Published: June 2023

Gay mens marriages with females are a social phenomenon that happens in conservative regions and countries lacking gay marriage legislation. These regions and countries restrict the sexual orientation expression of LGBTQ people and try to discipline them to accept the heterosexual marriage. On account of patriarchal society and the emphasis of offspring, Chinese gay people not only suffer from social discrimination, but are also forced to finish marriage and carry on the family line by their parents. This pressure sometimes results in a deceptive marriage. In a deceptive marriage, gay men hide their sexual orientation and deceive their wives to reproduce. Therefore, gays wife become reproductive machines and victims of deceptive marriages. This paper chooses baidu tieba as a virtual field and observes the situations of gays wife in the forum. A part of the participants in forum have known that they are victims of deceptive marriage, but most the forum members just suspect their husbands are gay and are stricken with anxiety. Through observation of gays wife groups, this paper analyses three problems: the AIDS risk, twofold oppression of patriarchy, and demonization of homosexuality. It applies dramaturgy proposed by Goffman to analyse the causes and puts forward suggestions for the three problems.

Published: June 2023

Some stereotypes about gender still exist in today's society. Backward ideas lead to different positions and benefits of different groups. When society requires people to progress and at the same time requires them to improve or vanish, conflicts will inevitably arise. In addition to disturbing the normal order of public opinion, it will divert people's attention from the event itself and bring about secondary disasters. However, many people do not allow or acknowledge the existence of gender issues because they are vested interests in this ideology. This article uses the method of case study to analyze the gender inequality caused by this stereotype. Additionallythe factors caused by stereotyped influence are very likely to evolve into extremely restless factors in political and economic life and expand and intensify on the Internet. Consequentlythis has formed an extreme social mentality, led to excessive venting of social emotions, and brought negative effects to social harmony.

The term 'highly visual complex' refers to images that contain a wide variety of elements within their basic visual elements, such as features, designs, and variations. Currently, with the advancement of modern technology and the popularity of social media, brands are paying more attention to their social media images. In order to capture the needs of the market with visual marketing, social media images' visual complexity has become a key concern for brands. In this study, case descriptions with two types of cases that have different levels of visual complexity are performed in order to generate comparisons and analyses. Brands need to judge the level of visual complexity according to their own positioning and design. Consequently, consumers are able to form a more accurate perception of the brand. This is how brands can win the favor of consumers.
Influence of Field Independent-Dependent Cognitive Styles and Exam-oriented Education on Second Language Syntactic Priming
Authors: Cheng Anning
Published: June 2023

Syntactic priming is an important paradigm for the study of sentence production. It refers to the tendency to repeat previously used sentence structures in the process of language production and comprehension. Field independent-dependent dimension, as an essential dimension of cognitive style, has different effects on individual perception, thinking and other cognitive processes. The nine-year compulsory education that most Chinese students receive is an exam-oriented education, which includes English learning. The effect of exam-oriented education on second language syntactic priming is unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the field independent-dependent dimension of cognitive style and exam-oriented education on second language syntactic priming. In this study, field dependent-independent cognitive style is measured by Embedded Figure Test, and second language syntactic priming is measured by picture description. The results show that field independent-dependent cognitive style has no effect on second language syntactic priming. While exam-oriented education inhibits second language syntactic priming for English learners at different levels. Future studies may use different methods of syntactic priming and cognitive style to measure and refine the thresholds for second language level in syntactic priming studies.

Published: June 2023

Clinical psychology, the psychiatry field, and medical conditions all tend to ignore the role of evolution in them. However, the human brain is indeed a product of natural selection. Its complexity, including both normal functions and potential dysfunctions, has developed over evolutionary time under the process of natural selection. Evolutionary psychology provides guidance for psychologists today on how to think about individual differences in terms of psychopathology. Therefore, understanding the evolutionary origin of psychiatric conditions is a crucial component of a complete understanding of psychological illnesses and their etiology. This paper explores this idea of evolution with four examples of mental illnesses, depression, postpartum depression, agoraphobia, schizophrenia and autism.

It is discovered that more than half of participants agree with the point that personality has an influence on secondary language learning. Take attitude for example, approximately 80% of them are positive about solving their problems that they are faced with during the learning process. The paper adopts the analysis of the link between personality and secondary language learners and discourse analysis to deeper understanding of positive and negative transfer among different learners. The result showed such an answer: it is not just personality is correlated to secondary language learning, a number of external factors is linked with learning outcome, especially in positive transfer in language learning . In consequence, except personality from the perspective of learning strategies, researches that linked with external factors are still in the long run, such as teaching methods, learning atmosphere and the status of language.

Published: June 2023

Educational system was dangerously challenged by COVID-19 without preparation. Schools and students cannot afford another strike. Mask-wearing has become a new normal. Scholars researched the potential effects of mask-wearing, but no direct study focuses on students learning engagement under mask-wearing conditions. In our study, we implemented a quantitative method to study students learning engagement in four aspects: emotional, behavioral, academic, and cognitive engagement. We received 218 questionnaire responses from native Chinese college students. Then, 90 valid responses were generated after exposure to three different stimuli: a native Chinese instructor lecturing English morphology in a quiet environment (SNR > 15 dB) without wearing a mask, the instructor lecturing the same content in the same acoustic environment (SNR > 15 dB) wearing a mask, and the instructor lecturing in the presence of noise (SNR < 15 dB) with mask-wearing. Our finding indicates that neither mask-wearing nor a noisy environment has a substantial influence on our participants emotional, behavioral, and cognitive engagement. However, our participants academic engagement was discouraged significantly after being lectured in noise after mask-wearing.

The psychological need is not a new concept. It affects every aspect of a person in the normal process of survival. When material life is gradually satisfied, and people have begun to pursue a spiritual life, the satisfaction of psychological needs seems necessary to realize everyday life. Such a changing trend has naturally attracted the attention of many researchers. In recent years, mental health problems or mental diseases have occurred in more and more adolescents, and the satisfaction of psychological needs has become a new research direction for relevant scholars to study the prevention and intervention of adolescent mental health problems. Therefore, this paper focuses on China, which has already started to pay attention to the development of mental health education and takes Chinese adolescents as the research object. Based on the relevant research data and literature in recent years, this paper discusses and analyzes the psychological needs of Chinese adolescents and practical strategies that can be applied in daily education work. According to the discussion, the psychological needs of Chinese teenagers are not very different from those of normal teenagers in other countries. Still, they have a stronger desire to meet specific psychological needs in some situations.

This paper mainly discusses the externalizing problem of adolescence, specifically the problem of substance use. Based on the research done to study adolescent psychology, the problems that occur during adolescence are mainly distinguished into two categories: the externalizing problem and the internalizing problem. Externalizing problems refers to problems that influence the external world. While internalizing problems refers to the problems that influence the internal world of the adolescent. Substance use is one of the most common externalizing problems occurring during adolescence. It is defined as the use of materials that can alter your mood and cognition, which are often addictive. For instance, substance use includes using drug, alcohol and smoke. The data and studies in this paper are all adopted from other researchers or organizations, focusing on adolescents ageing between 10 to 18. This paper indicates that there is a high rate of substance use all across the world and substance use is mainly carried out in four types, including experimental substance use, social substance use, medicinal substance use, and addictive substance use. And the causes of substance use can be distinguished into two types, including socialization causes and individual causes. For socialization costs, this paper includes explanations of how family relationships, family structure, parental teaching, friend influence, and others influence the substance use rate of teenagers and adolescents. And for individual causes, this essay analyzes how low impulse control, gender, personality and optimism influence the rate of substance use among adolescents.
How People Learn through Peer Learning
Authors: Qi Jingyi
Published: June 2023

Peer learning is a practice that has been used for many years, and it is becoming increasingly popular nowadays, especially in higher education. Previous research has provided different explanations about whether peer learning is effective or not based on different learning theories. For example, some researchers have suggested that peer learning is helpful based on the constructivism theory. In contrast, others have found that peer learning can be problematic from other perspectives, such as the behaviorist and cognitivist perspectives. In this paper, I use the theoretical model created by Topping and Ehly to analyze the features that make peer learning the most effective. Topping and Ehly's theoretical model suggests that five subprocesses lead to the effectiveness of peer learning. The findings of this paper indicate that peer learning can be improved by focusing on these five subprocesses and combining various learning theories.
