The popularized use of social media accelerates the spreading of fake news. The overwhelming amount of fake news was a severe social issue during the 2016 presidential election and the first outbreak of Coronavirus in 2020. As controlling the spread of fake news is not practically workable, the detection of fake news is significantly valuable to solve this issue. In this paper, we conduct experiments to discover the effect of contextualized embedding of news content on counterfeit news detection. We also explore the features of fake news through two aspects: clickbait and sentiment.

German philosopher Kant, in his moral philosophy, made a clear distinction between categorical imperative and hypothetical imperative. Under his three propositions of morality, Kant argued that only actions motivated by maxims (or moral principles) rather than any other emotional feelings could produce moral worth. Since then, the criticism from Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and a series of reconciling propositions from other later scholars such as Paten, Henson towards such Kantian dichotomy have never ended. This sets the main focus of my article.The article is divided into three parts: the first part expounds the content and ethical basis of Kantian philosophy by explaining the epistemological gap between noumenon and phenomenon. The second part focuses on four different reconciling propositions proposed by Paton, Henson, Herman, and Allison as well as their shared issue: they all try to revise the conclusion within Kantian philosophy in a theory of motivation outside the Kantian philosophy. By tracing back to the three propositions and the relationship between autonomy and heteronomy, the last part offers the article’s own argument: though Kant denies emotion as a motivation to produce moral worth, he does not exclude it from the inevitable concomitant from phenomena.

This paper shows the different results of the Body-Specificity Hypothesis in Chinese culture. Chinese have other metaphors on the left and suitable compared to western countries, which may affect their choice of the “dominant hand side as the positive side.” In this paper, we settle an experiment, and the results show that culture will influence people. A Chinese person, even a right-handed person, will think that the left side symbolizes the positive side (And different ages will have different degrees of cultural influence). Chinese participants show the opposite result due to their diverse culture from western countries.

In order to explore the function of Kant as a ‘reservoir’ in the history of philosophy, this paper reviews the thought of several important philosophers who preceded him from an interpretive perspective. It analyses Descartes’ ‘I think, therefore I am’, mainly in terms of the ‘unity of subject and object’, and then examines how Hume’s refinement of empiricism was transformed by the influence of purely theoretical thinking. Finally, the two are explained in the context of Kant’s thought, which leads to subsequent developments.

With the development of Chinese traditional ideology and culture and the changes in history, whether it is from the contention of a hundred schools of thought to the unique branch of Confucianism to the development of Neo-Confucianism, the architecture of the academy always carries and shows the context of its development. At the same time, traces of regional culture and cultural and historical development are imprinted. Research on the origin and diversity of academic architectural forms can protect and inherit the historical context of the academy. Through field investigation and literature research, the article takes several representative academies in northern Fujian as examples. Carry out historical construction investigations, analyze and compare the characteristics and background of the architectural forms of Northern Fujian Academy in different periods of history. Supplementary to the research on the architecture of folk academies in northern Fujian.

This article examines this phenomenon after studying the previous literature on silent students. With the surge in the number of Chinese students, more and more foreign universities have their presence, so the characteristics of Chinese student groups have become a favorite research direction of many Western scholars. The main arguments of this paper are 1) The impression of Chinese students can be summarized by the following keywords: silent, passive, and inflexible; 2) Although the descriptions are close to reality, most of the current research is limited to criticizing and judging arbitrarily, which makes these studies inevitably one-sided, self-righteous, and therefore lacking a comprehensive attitude; 3) Different cultural heritage and historical backgrounds will cause significant differences in the characteristics of local people; 4) The characteristics of Chinese students must not necessarily be negative. Consequently, this article reconsiders this problem from another perspective of cultural dimension theory. In the analysis process, this paper shows the differences between Chinese and Western cultures with the help of Hofstede’s cultural dimension theory. It makes a comprehensive analysis based on China’s socioeconomic and political conditions. Therefore, this paper contributes to putting forward some suggestions to improve the current education situation, emphasizing the significance of family and social education for students’ growth and character development.

To explain the causes of local “anti-refugee” sentiment propagated throughout local Hong Kong, this article delves into historical deadlocks – notably the cultural revolution and influx of Vietnamese boat people – that led the city’s attitudes to transition from relatively lax policies into strict regulations and negative media portrayal still present today. Yet, the present-day Hong Kong protests are brought into context to explain the slight generational gap in refugee sentiment. Finally, the Hong Kong refugee dilemma is brought into context compared with similar deadlocks in Norway and Germany to suggest an optimal mode of action moving forward.
