Discussion on“School is Society”and Its Enlightenment to the Construction of University Environment

The principle of“school is society”indicates that controlling the environment is the only educational method.By transforming the school into a microcosm of society,we can cultivate individuals who possess a social spirit and adaptability,preparing them to thrive in real-world social situations.By analyzing the social performance of colleges and universities in terms of their training objectives for society,research concepts for the development of society,and service consciousness for the improvement of society,as well as the current demand for a proper connection with society,it can be found that taking“school is society”as the guiding ideology for the construction of the university environment tends to be simplified,purified,balanced,broadened,and provided with practical space.This will be beneficial to the development of higher education.

An Analysis of the Current State of Civil Society Participation in Ensuring the National Security of Mongolia

In this article, the researchers tried to evaluate the contribution of civil society to Mongolian democracy and the problems faced by civil society. In addition, the article aimed to determine the unique national criteria of Mongolian democracy and the need to create an organization to monitor the process of democracy. The process of identifying important documents and ideals for the development of Mongolian civil society today is still in its early stages. It can be said that the approval of the democratic constitution and the first free and fair parliamentary elections as a country that has newly and restored democracy became another impetus for the creation of a new type of citizen organization. It is characterized by trying to study the changes that have occurred since this historical period at the intersection of political science and security studies. One of the most important issues today is to find out how many non-governmental and civil society organizations exist in Mongolia today, which are Western-oriented, focused on specific issues, have their own position and opinion, are specialized, and are capable of influencing government policy. On the other hand, in this article, we emphasize whether non-governmental and civil society organizations, which aim to hold the government accountable, and carry out influence and control activities, are fully developed.

How Does the Film Raise the Red Lantern Explore the Oppression of Women by the Patriarchal Society in China

With the gradual improvement of Chinese women’s status in the 21st-century,gender studies and gender relations had become one of the hottest topics in Chinese society,which consequently prompted Chinese Women’s Cinema to attract the attention of larger audiences.Therefore,many researchers have focused their research on Chinese Women’s Cinema,but at present,it seems that there is still a research gap to discuss and analyze the changes in women’s status and identity in China in recent years.This paper will take the famous early Chinese Women’s Cinema Raise the Red Lantern as an example for discussion and analysis.The purpose of this paper is to discuss the oppression of women in Chinese feudal patriarchal society through the details in the film Raise the Red Lantern.The significance of this paper is to appeal for gender equality in China by analyzing the oppression of women by the feudal patriarchal society in the film Raise the Red Lantern.Through careful analysis and research,it is concluded that the film Raise the Red Lantern profoundly criticizes the oppression and exploitation of women and vulnerable groups by the Republic of China through shooting details.At the same time,it is in sharp contrast with the independent thought and social status of Chinese women in the 21st-century.

The Protection of the Right to Equality of the Elderly in the Digital Society

The inequality faced by the elderly in a digital society is the digital inequality caused by both public and private actions,as well as the societal inequality exacerbated by the digital inequality.The essence of this issue lies in the unequal social participation due to the expansion of digital space under digital inequality.The characteristics of the elderly,combined with their inherent human dignity,determine that the ultimate goal of protecting their right to equality in a digital society is not limited to equal digital rights alone.Instead,it aims to ensure that the elderly have equal opportunities for social participation in both digital and non-digital spaces by eliminating digital inequality and curbing the expansion of digital space.This ensures the autonomy of the elderly in the digital society.Accordingly,the State should implement two policies based on both prohibitive obligations that prevent direct infringements and protective obligations that safeguard the equal rights of the elderly against encroachments from private entities.The first policy,“Digital Integration”,empowers the elderly with digital skills and helps them actively integrate into the digital society.The second policy,“Digital Coexistence,”ensures that the elderly can equally participate in society even when they choose to abstain from digital technology.

Procreation Anxiety in Climate Crisis:Comparative Analysis of The Smog Society and Diary of an Interesting Year

The deterioration of the environment caused by climate change has been entangled with other factors to wane people’s desire for having children.This paper takes two climate short stories,The Smog Society by the Chinese SF author Chen Qiufan and Diary of an Interesting Year by the British writer Helen Simpson as case studies,comparing the writing of the climate change induced fertility anxiety in the two stories from both the individual and community perspectives.By associating the textual analysis with the social reality about fertility rate in China and Britain,the paper explores performance and coping methods of fertility anxiety in the face of climate crisis,aimed at providing possible solutions for the sustainable development of population.

Analyzing the Differences in the Concepts of Love Between Korean and American Women Using the Female Characters in Kim Ji-young,Born in 1982 and The Sun Also Rises as Examples

This paper scrutinizes the differences in the conceptualization of love between Korean and American women.Grounded in an analysis of literary figures,Brett and Kim Ji-young,the study unravels the intricate interplay of cultural,historical,and societal forces shaping these perspectives.The contrasting landscapes of the United States,driven by ideals of freedom and individualism,and Korea,entrenched in Confucian values and collectivism,serve as crucibles for forming women’s roles,self-perception,and societal expectations.The examination extends to communication styles,illuminating the directness of American expression versus Korea’s reliance on formalism.Through this exploration,the paper illustrates the profound impact of cultural contexts on the intricate tapestry of love,offering a nuanced understanding of divergent viewpoints within a global context.

“社会”与Society的中英语义差别对比分析

翻译过程中,中英文同一组词的语义不对等问题引起语义学者兴趣,而高频互译的“社会”与society这组词在译者与读者视角下语义对等性极强,由此语义差别研究较少且研究空间较大。该文研究该组词的字典释义,对比探究两者的语义不对等性,归纳语义差别背后原因。研究发现,“社会”和society存在语义不对等;“社会”一词包含“社交”和“公共”两大含义,而society一词对应其中“社交”之意,表现出一定的不对等性。

The Frontiers and Future Landscape of Research and Education on Value Rationality in Contemporary China

The importance of conducting in-depth research and education on value rationality in the new era is increasingly recognized.Therefore,it is essential to systematically grasp the themes,frontiers,and trends of research in this field,organizing the knowledge system to provide references for future studies.This necessitates clarifying the research achievements of scholars from different disciplines and institutions.Using the CiteSpace visualization analysis method,we can analyze,summarize,and synthesize research networks,hotspots,and knowledge structures,thereby forming a direction for advancing research.Through literature review methods and knowledge graph software analysis,it is believed that value rationality and instrumental rationality represent the rational attitudes individuals adopt when contemplating issues and putting them into practice.They are merely methods and should not be subjected to excessive value judgments.The relationship between value rationality and instrumental rationality is a focal point of societal concern,involving complex interdisciplinary issues with significant theoretical value and practical implications.In the future,the academic community needs to strengthen research collaboration,enhance the expansion of value rationality in various social practice fields,and conduct empirical studies to build consensus for the construction of Chinese society.

Combinations of Transportation Policies to Promote BRT Usage Using Artificial Society Model

Various transportation systems have been developed in recent years.In this study,an artificial society model is developed to examine the combination of transportation policies in urban areas.In this model,each trip maker selects the primary and terminal transportation modes.An artificial society model is applied to the southeastern region of Osaka City,Japan.The effects of introducing BRT(bus rapid transit,primary transportation)and on-demand buses(terminal transportation)are investigated.The results confirm that BRT is used by a certain number of users.An increase in the use of BRT will increase the amount of walking,thus resulting in a healthy city.However,on-demand buses are rarely used as terminal transportation.Additionally,the development of bicycle parking stations near BRT stops is shown to be effective in the northern section of the BRT route.

Hungry and Angry Society: Implications for Sustainable Development in Nigeria

Hunger is a physiological need,but the production and consumption of adequate and balanced food is a function of social forces.At every point,social,political,and economic processes intervene,for better or(more common)for worse.Food is one fundamental need of human beings for survival.But in Nigeria there is widespread food shortage and hunger.Development scholars have put forward reasons why poverty,hunger persists in the country,from the platitudes about population growth,inadequate implementation of agricultural policies,and neglect of agriculture,bad leadership,corruption,and the issue of distribution.Nigeria is richly blessed with arable land and citizens eager to unlock its food potentials.Unfortunately,this is far from being realized as the country depends on foreign countries for food,a situation that is tragic and sad.She spends about$10 billion a year importing food and agricultural products,the majority of which are wheat,rice,poultry,fish,and consumer-oriented foods.The pressure on the exchange rate results in devaluation-triggered inflation and food costs that fly up beyond the grasp of people at the bottom of the ladder as it is now is one of the negative repercussions of high food importation bills.Examining the effects of hunger is one of this paper’s key concerns and goals,and anger crisis for achieving sustainable development in the country using the Frustration-Aggression Theory,The Relative Deprivation and Political Economy Approach as guide.

China Society for Human Rights Studies, I would like to extend my warm greetings to the launch of your Human Rights magazine. Enjoying human rights fully is a lofty goal long pursued after by human race. Over the years when they carried out revolution, construction and reforms, the Chinese people have struggled indomitably and strived incessantly to achieve this goal. Progress made in this regard has caught worldwide attention. When struggling for, safeguarding, promoting and developing human rights, the Chinese people have always combined the universality prin-

社会(society)还是社会性(the social)?——社会学学科的再定位

用研究对象来进行学科界定,是社会学的传统做法。这种方法存在诸多问题:宏观与微观的二难;学科史书写中"社会"的强势;以及将社会学理解为研究"社会"所带来的学科边界的模糊性。更值得注意的是,"社会"本身在许多社会学家那里遭到了挑战。这些问题引发了对社会学学科定位的重新思考。社会学区别于其他学科的根本之处就在于它独特的方法论——社会性地看待问题。比起从研究对象出发,从研究方法来界定社会学更具有可取之处。这种对社会学的再界定,必然要求用"社会性"(the social)替代"社会"(society),并将之作为社会学的核心概念。

Female Struggle in Patriarchal Society-Comparative Interpretation of Gimmal and Crumbs of Agalloch Eaglewood-the First Incense Burner

Zhang Ailin created so many various kinds of female charaters in her novels;females who own distinct characters and identities just have similar fates and struggles.This paper tries to probe into the similar fates and struggles of two heroines with different identities in the same social background by analysing the novel Gimmal and Crumbs of Agalloch Eaglewood-the First Incense Burner from perspective of feminism.

Examining the Relations between Language and Society through a Small Window

Language and society are so closely intertwined.From the sociolinguistic perspective,language not only has denotation functions,but also has a function of signaling the speakers' social and personal backgrounds.Personal names,as a kind of language use,although vary from country to country and from times to times,they still signal something about people's social identities.Chinese names have very rich connotation.Chinese naming system is a mirror of Chinese society and culture,and personal names have revealed a lot of time features.This study is to examine the change in the choice of words for Chinese given names during the time period of 1940s to the current from the sociolinguistic perspective.It focuses to explore the relations between the change of language use in personal names and the change of society,as well as on the influence of social ideology on the choice of Chinese given names.

The Development of Chinese Traditional Culture and Its Society

社会与文化是同步发展的。19世纪著名的人类学家泰勒给文化做出了一个最早期的定义：文化包括知识、信仰、艺术、道德、法律、习俗以及作为一个社会成员的人所习得的其他一切能力和习惯。根据这样的解释，我们可以多少认为文化就是人们的所想和所做。文化同样也可以看作为人们行为的结果。可以肯定的是世上很少有两个完全相同的个体，但毋庸置疑，社会当中的人也有一定的共性，因为他们的文化有一种主要的特征来影响着他们。在过去的2000年里，儒家思想是中国传统文化的主要特征。中国人都受到了儒家思想得影响。

The Coupling Coordination Evolution Research of Economy - Ecology - Society System in Xinjiang：Based on the Interaction Perspective of Water Resources

Under the water resources perspective,coupling coordination of economy-ecology-society system in Xinjiang was taken as the research object. By building the coupling evaluation index system of the water resources-economy-ecology-society system,quantitative evaluation and analysis of the coupling coordination of the water resources-economy-ecology-society system from 2001 to 2014 were conducted. The results showed that benefit indexes of economic system and social system grew rapidly,while benefit indexes of water resources system and ecosystem fluctuated smoothly from 2001 to 2014; coupling state of the whole system was at rival stage,and coupling coordination was reluctant coordination type,and the coupling index was slightly higher than the coupling coordination index. Moreover,it showed that the more the coupling systems,the lower indices of coupling and the coupling coordination.

Smart Society and Artificial Intelligence:Big Data Scheduling and the Global Standard Method Applied to Smart Maintenance

The implementation of artificial intelligence(AI)in a smart society,in which the analysis of human habits is mandatory,requires automated data scheduling and analysis using smart applications,a smart infrastructure,smart systems,and a smart network.In this context,which is characterized by a large gap between training and operative processes,a dedicated method is required to manage and extract the massive amount of data and the related information mining.The method presented in this work aims to reduce this gap with near-zero-failure advanced diagnostics(AD)for smart management,which is exploitable in any context of Society 5.0,thus reducing the risk factors at all management levels and ensuring quality and sustainability.We have also developed innovative applications for a humancentered management system to support scheduling in the maintenance of operative processes,for reducing training costs,for improving production yield,and for creating a human–machine cyberspace for smart infrastructure design.The results obtained in 12 international companies demonstrate a possible global standardization of operative processes,leading to the design of a near-zero-failure intelligent system that is able to learn and upgrade itself.Our new method provides guidance for selecting the new generation of intelligent manufacturing and smart systems in order to optimize human–machine interactions,with the related smart maintenance and education.

The Core Mechanism of Natural Selection: How the Natural Cycle of Potassium Resources Affects the Biological Evolution and the Change of Human Society

Darwin’s theory of evolution believes that biological evolution is a process of natural selection. This theory has been supported by much evidence, but the internal biological mechanism is not clear. Here, I elaborate on the cycle of potassium resources on the earth and the biological utilization and efficiency, which may be the core mechanism of natural selection and affect the evolution of organisms and the development of human society.
