Along with a series of derivative issues it brings about, cyberbullying is increasingly garnering the attention of the academic community. In the present study, the relationship between the recovery duration from cyberbullying and the auxiliary strategies selected by the victims was primarily focused on. This study examined the impact of exposure duration to cyberbullying on recovery time, the role of therapeutic dependency, and the effectiveness of perceived self-help strategies in a sample population from China, mainly comprising university students. Research indicates not only a correlation between longer exposure to cyberbullying and extended recovery time but also a negative correlation between the perceived effectiveness of self-help strategies and recovery time. However, there was no support for the hypothesis that predicts a decrease in recovery time with the application of various therapeutic strategies. The study suggests the possibility of therapeutic dependency and repeated revisiting of traumatic experiences prolonging recovery.

This paper critically addresses the significant issue of educational opportunity inequality faced by Asian women, exploring its root causes and potential solutions, predicated on principles of justice and social development. The subjects of the study are Asian women, who are encumbered by intersecting societal stereotypes, cultural expectations, and institutional barriers, thereby curtailing their educational prospects. The study deploys an analytical interpretative approach, analyzing various societal stereotypes and prejudices, cultural factors, and systemic constraints, substantiated through a qualitative method. Findings reveal a collective imposition of an “educational opportunity ceiling” or “Bamboo Ceiling” on Asian women, proposing potential solutions including policy reforms, awareness initiatives, and educational strategies. Innovative methods are suggested, inspired by the narratives of Asian women, Li Ziqi and Papi Jiang, who overcame such inequalities. Ultimately, the study posits that acknowledging and addressing these entrenched sources of inequality could engender an environment fostering equal educational opportunities for Asian women, aiding in the demolition of the “Bamboo Ceiling”.

This research paper examines and compares urban migration patterns during Chinese New Year and Christmas in Asian countries and Western countries. It explores the economic, cultural, and social factors that drive migration patterns and their implications for urbanization and globalization. The study draws on existing literature and data from secondary sources, including travel agencies and government agencies. Preliminary findings indicate that holiday travel during these seasons is influenced by various factors, such as economic opportunities, cultural practices, and social dynamics. Economic impacts are significant, contributing to local economies through increased consumer spending and tourism. However, challenges arise from overcrowding and resource strain, as well as potential inequalities resulting from consumerism and commercialization. Cultural and social implications shape migration patterns and impact urban landscapes, maintaining identity and belonging for diasporic communities and transforming public spaces. Understanding these dynamics can inform strategies to manage the impact of holiday travel and address challenges and opportunities associated with globalization, urbanization, and cultural exchange. This research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the economic, cultural, and social dimensions of holiday migration patterns and their implications for urbanization and globalization.

Previous research revealed that syntactic and lexical complexity is crucial in predicting writing quality. However, measuring these features is difficult because they often interact in unpredictable ways. To address this challenge, measurement practices need to capture a more holistic view. This study aims to explore the integration of the complexity metrics and examines how they relate to L2 writing. A sample of 199 argumentative essays from an in-house English proficiency test was scrutinized using the Syntactic Complexity Analyzer and the Lexical Complexity Analyzer. Factor analysis and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. The findings indicated that, syntactically, a higher frequency and richness of coordinate phrases were associated with superior L2 writing quality (r=.27, p<.01). Lexically, verb variation (r=.186), transformations of the number of different words measures (r=.241) and noun & mod variation (r=.233) were found to be valid indicators of L2 writing quality. However, different from previous research on narrative writing, verb sophistication is found to have no significant correlation with argumentative writing scores. It indicates that the genre of L2 production is a variable that may affect the validity of verb sophistication as a descriptor of L2 performance.

Language has always been a powerful tool in human society, it is often used for political purposes and a political speech can be extremely influential to the society and its audience when it is based on philosophy. During the reign of Stalin, his political speeches heavily influenced the citizens of the Soviet Union or the USSR. In fact, one of the main factors that led to the success of those speeches was the involvement of philosophical ideologies and theories in the language. The ideas from multiple philosophers such as Grice, Brandom and Tirrell earnestly supported Stalin’s speech and increased its influence, especially in the agricultural speech provided by Stalin in the late 1920s. For instance, Stalin by giving speeches based on philosophical theories, which helped gain the support and recognization of the vast majority of citizens, was able to shape the Kulaks as the enemy of the Soviet Union society and arrange suppression and eliminations towards them. Thus Stalin and his speech will be analysed in this paper by offering theories from different philosophers and discovering the role of the philosophy of language in politics, especially in political speeches. Additionally, providing an understanding of the huge influence and power of language for scholars exploring this field of study.

The study is about citizens’ opinions on student loans by analyzing Twitter reactions to Biden’s student loan cancellation project using the machine-driven classification of open-ended response (MDCOR) and found it saved research time, increased efficiency, and ensured authenticity and objectivity of data. After putting data into the application, we found that using five analysis topics is appropriate. The topic’s content can be predicted by seeking the relevant word for each case. The analysis of five issues related to student loans shows mixed opinions about the impact of loan forgiveness, with some key terms such as “predatory” and “donation” being significant. At the same time, some topics are not directly related to the issue.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether literary and artistic works are related to the formation of the concept of beautifying pain in high school students, and analyze the correlation between beautifying pain and depression, so as to predict the future development of high school students. Questionnaire method and SPSS analysis are the main methods involved in this study. This study makes up for the gap in the previous research on the concept of beautifying pain in high school students, and finds that the concept of beautifying pain is an unhealthy psychological state. The results show that high school students in first-tier cities have a relatively high degree of beautification of pain and depression. There is no significant correlation between contacting artistic works and the idea of beautifying pain, but there is a significant positive correlation between the idea of beautifying pain and depression. The degree of pain beautification and depression can predict the future development of high school students effectively, and high school students with high pain beautification are more inclined to engage in spiritual exploration majors. For high school students with high degree of pain beautification, parents and teachers need to guide, educate and give more psychological support in a special way.

This paper is based on the rapid development of new media in the context of the new era, and the anxiety emotions generated by different age groups are different. This paper speculates that there is a mutual influence between internal anxiety and internet information among different age groups. So this paper conducts a survey and research on the impact of different age groups on the sources and manifestations of inner anxiety, to explore the relationship between inner anxiety and new media among different age groups, and how to face the impact of this new media on mentality. This paper mainly adopts three research methods. They are namely interview method, questionnaire method, literature research method. The research results show that young people are more susceptible to the influence of internet information, while those over the age of thirty are relatively less affected by internet information. The research ultimately found that age has a certain impact on inner anxiety, and this impact gradually decreases with age. The sensitivity of the group aged 30 and above to internet information is not lower than that of the relatively younger group. However, due to their different social and life experiences, they are relatively less influenced by the internet.
