In the era of many changes, it is necessary for Chinese people to not only learn the advanced concepts and experience from other countries and also constantly absorb nutrition from traditional Chinese culture. Also, the inappropriate composition in the political values should be rethought and criticized profoundly, so that not only the political values of Chinese people can give a reflection to the superiority of socialism, and also people＇s personality and vitality are fully respected and developed.展开更多

With the development of graffiti art and the improvement of people＇s aesthetic idea, graffiti has penetrated into various aspects of people＇s life and has been closely integrated with people＇s life in many fields. Fashion design is one of the forms which have the closest relation with modem graffiti. Many famous brands have increased their own vitality and fashion sense of costume through graffiti. In modem fashion design, graffiti has special aesthetic value and personality characteristics, bringing about huge commercial opportunities to merchants. Its personality expression in fashion design involves factors in multi-aspects. This paper makes an in-depth analysis of this problem in simple terms, which is of positive significance to the combination of graffiti and fashion design.展开更多

Fifty Chinese EFL （English as a foreign language） college students and 50 American college students participated in writing English persuasive essays on the selected topics. The essays were then compared for similarities and differences in the use of rhetorical appeals with a focus on ethos, the credibility, and trustworthiness of an author. The study revealed that participants from both groups established ethos as an important rhetorical tool to persuade the audience to accept their viewpoints. However, they displayed different perceptions of what effective ethos entailed. For Chinese participants, effective ethos seemed to come from using detailed explanations that reflected an author＇s intention to advocate an ethical or moral message based on some Chinese cultural values. But, strong ethos for American participants appeared to mean the use of evidence--facts and personal testimony--to establish the writer＇s trustworthiness. The interpretation of the results from the perspective of different cultural value orientations was also discussed.展开更多

Why？ Simply because the most innovative and ＂literary＂ texts are always surprising： They are ＂different＂, and could not possibly result from writing guidelines devised only to facilitate a mechanical evaluation itself conceived for the sake of some illusory objectivity... Now, in our postmodern age with its rejection of models, what is more difficult than assessing the quality of creative writing？ In our approach, we suggest restoring confidence in the teacher, an expert reader if any, who, acting as a publisher, dramaturge, or mere aesthete, knows how to take his pupils＇ texts seriously, acknowledge their aesthetic value, and look at apparent clumsiness as a possible promise of innovation. The teaching of creative writing lies both in this specific reception of budding works and in the teacher＇s performative utterances that, then and there, make the pupil a writer.展开更多
