This study aims to discuss on some of the main factors that contribute to juvenile crime commitment, and specifically how those factors affect the psychological health of young adults. Factors identified in previous literatures as a significant contributor to juvenile crimes fall under three main categories: family, school, and peers. Structure of the family, parental attachment and treatment of the child during their early childhood are the main elements of family-related factors that determine the likeliness of teenagers leaning towards infliction. For school-related factors, a poor performance (whether academically or extracurricular-wise) and bullying/harassment on campus strongly control the rate of crime conviction in juveniles. Longtime accompany with other anti-social friends and social distancing are the major peer-related factors that play a huge part in leading to offending in the later adolescent stage. Current studies can certainly be a knowledge basis for finding solutions to juvenile crime. Further research can be done in further study of how these factors correlate, and whether slight alternations to them can reduce the rate of crime in those under the age of 18.
This literature review examines how short videos have affected the digital era, with an emphasis on apps such as TikTok and Instagram. It draws attention to how short videos may drastically alter how people consume material and emphasises the necessity for a well-rounded strategy, particularly with younger audiences. The research also delves into the controversy surrounding the use of casual language in educational settings, with experts voicing varying opinions on how it affects formal writing abilities. It highlights the potential advantages of brief video material for language learning, such as improved comprehension and vocabulary retention. It demands that platforms for short videos be included in instructional frameworks in a curated manner. It notes a research lack in the systematic evaluation of instructional practises designed for this medium, despite the potential of short videos in education. This review offers a thorough synopsis of the many effects of brief video material in the digital age.

The Silk Road has long attracted researchers from various fields, sparking their interest in ancient cities and the ancient route that connected civilizations. However, the role of horses and grass in the development of the Silk Road has been relatively understudied. This essay presents a novel perspective, revealing the significance of horses and grass in shaping the growth of nomadic cultures and their profound impact on the formation and development of cities along the Silk Road. Through an examination of Persepolis and Samarkand, this paper analyzes the intricate relationship between horses, grass, and the Silk Road. As a means of transportation, horses' agility and endurance allowed merchants and travelers to traverse vast distances, connecting civilizations and promoting economic and cultural exchanges. The abundant grasslands along the Silk Road corridor shaped the way of life and livelihood of nomadic tribes, providing sustenance for their horses. Nomadic tribes acted as intermediaries, facilitating trade between settled civilizations. This facilitated the establishment of trade routes and the emergence of prosperous urban centers. Therefore, the symbiotic relationship between horses, grass, and nomadic tribes played a crucial role in the development and prosperity of the Silk Road.
In philosophical theory, the understanding of "truth" can be divided into axiological truth and epistemological truth. The truth in the axiological sense mainly involves the problem of meaning and value, while the truth in the epistemological sense involves the problem of the conformity between the subject of knowledge and the object of knowledge or the objective reality. From the epistemological point of view, we can clarify the difference between the coincidence theory and the Chinese Neo-Confucianism in the view of truth so that we can not only explain the truth of each theory but also understand the harmonious relationship between the two views of truth.
This essay delves into the profound impact of psychosocial factors on the emergence and diffusion of popularity, highlighting the intricate dynamics that govern consumer preferences. The herding effect, wherein individuals follow the majority, is a pivotal force shaping trends. Consumers are drawn to products or ideas with widespread acceptance, influenced by the collective consciousness of society. Aesthetics also wield significant influence, as visually and sensory pleasing attributes enhance a product's appeal, contributing to its popularity. Moreover, the compelling drive of social affiliation emerges as a powerful force shaping consumer choices. The inherent human need for belonging and acceptance influences product selection, amplified by social media platforms where individuals showcase preferences, creating virtual spaces for exchanging ideas and trends.In conclusion, the interplay of psychosocial factors, including the herding effect, aesthetic appeal, and social affiliation, profoundly shapes the landscape of consumer popularity. Recognizing and understanding these influences are crucial for businesses, marketers, and policymakers navigating the ever-evolving societal context of consumer behavior. By acknowledging the potency of these factors, stakeholders can strategically leverage them to anticipate and respond to shifts in consumer preferences, ultimately fostering successful engagement in the dynamic marketplace.

The biblical teaching is that, on a practical level, tithing embodies an ideal division of labor with distinct responsibilities. By tithing to the Church, Christians provide the clergy with the necessities of life, enabling them to concentrate on the sacraments without having to worry about worldly matters, and at the same time, offer material support for the holy ministries of the Church, helping to improve the financial situation of the Church. On the level of faith, tithing is an expression of faith in God. The voluntary and full payment of the tithe is a great manifestation of one's faith in God. It maintains the harmonious relationship between God and man, which brings God's abundant blessings to man. The Church in Medieval Europe collected tithes based on the clear and strong scriptural basis of the Bible. However, in practice, the Church abused the tithe to enrich itself and ignored the poor lives of the people, which was destructive to God's good intention in the establishment of the tithe and was not in accordance with the teachings of the Bible.

This study investigates the relationship between the frequency of engaging with digital affluence display wealth-related content on social media and self-esteem among Chinese young adults aged 18-26. A quantitative analysis of self-reported survey data showed a significant negative correlation between the frequency of viewing wealth-flaunting content and levels of self-esteem, challenging the traditional views of Social Comparison Theory. The results indicate a complex interaction between online displays of wealth and psychological well-being, including influences of stimuli and thresholds, underscoring the need for a more detailed understanding of how young people interpret and respond to social media in today’s digital environment.
In 1933, French historian Olier raised the issue of the "Spartan Illusion" and believed that ancient historians' impressions of Sparta must have been artificially processed based on the author's writing purpose. Xenophon's The Constitution of Lacedaemonians is the crucial surviving material of a contemporary author who personally experienced and recorded the specific internal conditions of the Spartan city-state. It is also a concentrated expression of the Spartan illusion. As a historian of the Greek city-state crisis period, Xenophon not only paid more attention to Sparta in the process of writing "Greek Chronicles" due to his legendary personal experience, but also focused more on the image of ideal Sparta. Thinking about sex, theodicy, and political philosophy were integrated into historical writing, making the image of Sparta the focus of Xenophon's historical writing and philosophical thinking, and a tool for him to write history. Previous research has mainly focused on a series of subtle thoughts that Xenophon developed by borrowing the Spartan illusion. This article intends to formally explore and summarize the process of Xenophon manufacturing and using this writing instrument, and whether it achieves its expected results.
