Rethinking of Quantum Mechanics Based on Heidegger's Philosophy
Authors: Wu Qihong
Published: January 2024

The essay examines the probability Heidegger's philosophy offers for interpreting quantum mechanical theories. The idea of "Dasein" in Heidegger's philosophy is compared with quantum theory to support the assertion of measurement as reality in quantum mechanics. The essay examines the non-transparency of quantum physics and applies Heidegger's philosophy to explain the unconventional quantum theories under this nature. The retrocausality theory in quantum physics is connected with Heidegger's theory of time, his tripartite framework of states of being and their interconnection in his philosophy. The lack of free will is demonstrated in both Heidegger philosophy and quantum mechanics by drawing comparisons between the "Thrownness" of "Dasein" into the world and the superdeterminism hypothesis of quantum physics. This essay increases the scope for using Heidegger's philosophy to comprehend quantum physics.

Authors: Liu Haochen
Published: January 2024

In the epoch of big data and the ubiquity of mobile internet, the sanctity of personal privacy on social media platforms is increasingly imperiled. As communicative exchanges on these platforms become nearly instantaneous and pervasively ubiquitous, the demarcation between corporeal experiences and digital interactions becomes increasingly nebulous, thereby augmenting the intricacy of privacy conundrums. The digital transmutation and incessant circulation of personal datum, magnified by avant-garde big data technologies, intensify the vulnerabilities surrounding user confidentiality. Concurrently, societal conceptualizations of privacy undergo a paradigmatic shift, compelling a recalibration between the imperatives of privacy preservation and the exigencies of personal information exploitation. This investigation offers a perspicacious dissection of the historical trajectory of privacy, elucidates the manifold challenges engendered by the disclosure propensities of social media aficionados, and delineates prospective regulatory paradigms. The overarching aspiration is to promulgate efficacious stratagems for safeguarding personal privacy on social media amidst the contemporary digital renaissance.

An Analysis of Gender Inequality Existing in the World
Authors: Luan Xinran
Published: January 2024

In 2000, the United States issued a detailed report on the situation of women around the world, which showed that although women and men lived in the same world, they enjoyed different education, employment opportunities, health, safety and human rights. But in almost every country, women are oppressed as second-class. This paper studies the phenomenon of gender inequality in the world, and finds that the traditional ideology of son preference in rural areas shows that in the workplace, women not only have fewer opportunities for employment and promotion than men, but also bear the double pressure of housework and employment. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated women's employment difficulties and domestic violence. In order to solve the inequality between men and women, the government should improve relevant laws and regulations and guide the development of mass media. At the same time, women should improve their own quality and strengthen the construction of leadership.

Analysis of the Dual Subject Identity Cognitive Construction Mechanism in 100 Flowers Hidden Deep Based on Lacanian Three Worlds Theory
Authors: Luo Zhiyu
Published: January 2024

Chen Kaige's short film 100 Flowers Hidden Deep guided by the theme of "moving house" serves as a narrative thread, portraying the inner struggles of a modern individual faced with conflicts between tradition and modernity. This conflict not only exists within the protagonist's inner world but also permeates society, leading the film's characters to exhibit different attitudes and behaviors when confronted with various dilemmas. This paper explores how the unique character configurations in the film, hidden beneath the clash of tradition and modernity, project onto Lacan's Three Worlds Theory, offering a fresh interpretation from a film text analysis perspective on the Real, Imaginary, and Symbolic worlds. Starting from the dilemma of the self and the other, this paper interprets the existence and forms of the self across different dimensions, attempting to decipher how the film text constructs the journey of self-recognition for both the protagonist and the audience in a symbolic and psychoanalytic world. This analysis is an integral part of psychoanalytic studies, with profound implications for film text analysis. The film not only provides a new interpretation of character settings and plot arrangements but also offers essential theoretical support for film production and audience comprehension. 100 Flowers Hidden Deep by Chen Kaige demonstrates the importance and value of Lacan's Three Worlds Theory in film text analysis.
An Analysis of the Effect of ''Send-down Movement'' Experience on Gender Perception
Authors: Yang Zhengkai
Published: January 2024

In 1960s and 1970s, roughly 18 million urban youths in China were sent to rural areas under the command of government to bear heavy agricultural work. This paper adopts discontinuity in policy to conduct a Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) to examine how send-down experience in the youth affects long-term gender perception. The result shows that being sent-down in the youth on average shifts the score of gender perception several decades later towards the more progressive direction by 1-1.4 standard deviations. This implies that, even in rural areas where agriculture is dominant and people bear heavy manual work, gender equality can be achieved by a fair institution.

Rebirth in Dreams: The Concealed Metaphor of the Golden Bough in Virgils Aeneid
Authors: Cui Zhimeng
Published: January 2024

The imagery of the golden bough in Book Six of Virgils Aeneid has always been a topic of great interest among scholars. Understanding the significance of the golden bough is essential for unraveling the meaning of Book Six and comprehending the entire epic. This paper first reviews all the scenarios involving the golden bough and employs methods such as close textual reading and textual verification. It argues that, in Virgils depiction, the golden bough has three main metaphors: firstly, it serves as the initiation ritual for Aeneas to enter the underworld in the flesh; secondly, it symbolizes the imperial scepter, pointing to the life-in-death for both individuals and the state; and finally, it metaphorically represents a rebirth in dreams, marking a crack in the Roman foundation myth.
Interweaving Power Discourse: An Analysis of Dynamic Interaction Between the Dramatic Monologue and Imago of Confinement in My Last Duchess and Andrea Del Sarto
Authors: Wang Xiaomin
Published: January 2024

Robert Browning, based on a story and a painting, reconstructed the inner voices of the story's protagonist and the figures in the painting within his poetry. His skillful use of "dramatic monologue" provided a stage for the characters' inner activities, and the image of confinement set the stage for conflicts between the characters and the flow of power discourse. This interactive and intertwined "dual stage" enhances the power of narrative and dramatic elements in Browning's poetry. The purpose of this paper is to find out the closed imagery employed by Robert Browning in My Last Duchess and Andrea del Sarto combined with Foucault's concept of "power discourse" to analyze how they interact and the change of "power discourse" in protagonist within the dramatic monologues, and further explore "transgression" within two poems. The author finds that the dramatic monologue offers a "big stage" for the conflict. Still, reading Browning's poetry needs to pay more attention to the "small stage" provided by the closed imagery, where the speaker who holds the power of speech changes his identity with the closed imagery and achieves the "transgression" through it.

Evolution of Human Cooperation: An Archaeological Approach Focusing on Hunter-Gather Society
Authors: Chen Maggie Junhui
Published: January 2024

The history and development of cooperation between people is a major topic in many areas. The most popular ideas about how cooperation started are cultural group selection and the idea of charity. Scientists have different responses to them, though. People have evolved and survived in many places over a very long time, so they must have left behind a lot of proof. This paper looks into the main reasons why people work together and how cooperation has evolved by collecting historical samples and ethnic records and analysing them along with other research. The poll results show that the main reason people work together is to get what they want. To stay alive in natural settings that are very complicated, people work together to build trust and reputation systems. The creation of ways to respond to different cultures and punish people who don't follow the rules has helped to keep socialised systems of cooperation that were formed when cultures clashed or mixed. Cooperation is something that everyone does, but different places have their own religious beliefs and cultural practices that shape how people work together. A lot of different things affect how cooperative people are, and it's hard to come up with a good theoretical model just from the studies that have been done so far.

Authors: Gao Fengchang
Published: January 2024

The background of the research is based on the problems and dilemmas faced by women in modern East Asian society. The research investigated how Confuciuss thoughts put social constraints on women in China, Japan, and South Korea because of their gender through the content of the books and the derived meaning of folk while looking at the ideological transformation of women in society to resist these regulations. People in those societies are often disciplined by thousands of years of traditional etiquette, hence the conflict between self-consciousness and cultural oppression brought about by Confucianism becomes an important topic among East Asian scholars. The paper aims to show how the Confucius norms build on the fixed gender role in different ways and analyze the social oppression of East Asian women, with the resistance and struggle that women are making in these countries. Hence a better understanding of the progress of women's rights in East Asian countries and the role of women in society. The significance of the paper is that it makes up the research gap on how Confucian culture oppresses women's social status and uses realistic scenes while demonstrating the transformation of women's self-consciousness under these regulations in a chronological sequence.

Authors: Li Xueming
Published: January 2024

The Jilting of Granny Weatherall is one of the classic short stories of the famous American writer Katherine Anne Porter. The short story expresses womens liberation through the protagonist Granny Weatheralls attitude in the face of frustration. Some scholars focus more on analyzing the techniques used in the stream of consciousness used in the short story; some compare it to other similar works, while others provide a broader interpretation from a feminist perspective.

Therefore, more and more Chinese buzzwords are being translated for learning. However, as a part of learning and teaching Chinese as a second language, the translation results of popular phrases have also caused certain impacts. Based on relevant literature and corpus analysis, the article explores how different translation strategies of popular phrases have different degrees of influence on second language acquisition and teaching Chinese as a second language in terms of language learning and cross-cultural communication and how the results of popular phrases translated by using either alienation or naturalization translation strategies are unable to show the linguistic and cultural meanings of the source language at the same time, whereas the strategy of using both of them or annotating them can take care of both of them and assist the second language learning.

The Anti-Corporate Films Nostalgic Inclination
Authors: Zhang Tingting
Published: January 2024

As a niche genre within the yet-to-be-systematized film landscape, anti-corporate films serve the purpose of exposing and critiquing the prevailing inequities in society, particularly the exploitation of capital on the masses. These films often revolve around narratives of capital oppressing human rights and the struggles of ordinary individuals attempting to rebel against colossal corporations. They provide a platform for denunciation and irony aimed at the prevailing dominance of capital. The debate between irony and nostalgia is continuous within this context, yet both evoke unexpected dual emotions and agency. Nostalgia in anti-corporate films explicitly presents an inappropriate present juxtaposed with an idealized past as binary spatial symbols, ultimately portraying a utopian vision of the future.
The Double Contradiction - Education Gospel and Education Penalty
Authors: Zhang Ran
Published: January 2024

The wishful thinking of education-jobs-development promise has formed within the emergence of the trinity of the knowledge economy, meritocracy and human capital theory embedded in education ideology. The take-for-granted promise is idealized and deceptive, which largely ignores the interplay of other variables. The education arms race, credential inflation, overeducation, the dilemma of liberal arts and humanity subjects, and education penalties for employees, especially student workers, have exposed another side of the seemingly promising trinity. In this sense, the absolute goodness of education has gradually tilted toward relative or positional goodness, suggesting an alienated structure which simultaneously constrains individuals. Focusing on the paradoxes of the trinity specifically, allows people to not only scrutinize the overall picture and interconnection of those educational settings but also how education shapes and reshapes different stakeholders. This essay expounded the traps of the trinity, indicating meritocracy reproduces inequality and its premise on ability-based placement is also flawed. Heavily human-capital-based-idealogy alienates education. People with knowledge do not necessarily gain high-income jobs. The paper suggests a reconnection and review on education purposes for education stakeholders and the construction of a working environment legal protective framework to embrace the increasing student workforce.
