    How Can International Legal Rules and Institutions Improve Aspects of the Global Response to Pandemic Disease and Climate Change?

    This paper examines the role of existing and future international laws and international organizations in mitigating climate change and pandemic disease issues. Both of these issues are urgent and significant sustainable development goals. A carbon market is a practical approach reformed by the Paris Agreement that helps climate mitigation, especially in developing countries. Available evidence concludes that adversity in biodiversity and climate change forms a vicious circle that lacks international cooperation, and the paper proposes solutions. Vaccination is at the center of discussion as the Covid-19 pandemic raises global awareness of public health issues. Organizations are expected to be more effective and better provide access to the vaccine for developing countries. Therefore, better international treaties must be established, which are expected to include forming independent affiliates and enhanced financial assistance, technical assistance, and so on.

    The Influence of Internet on Adolescent Psychological Development from the Perspective of Developmental Psychology

    With the rapid development of science and technology, the Internet has gradually become a channel for teenagers to interact with the outside world. Therefore, from the perspective of developmental psychology, this study combines Kohlberg’s moral theory and Erikson’s development theory to analyze the influence of the Internet on adolescents. In addition, this study provides strategies for teachers and parents to strengthen the positive effects of the Internet and reduce the negative effects of the Internet. The result shows that it can bring some benefits to adolescents, such as helping adolescents to achieve self-identity and meeting the needs of communication and emotional expression. However, it can also have a negative influence on some teenagers. For example, harmful Internet information may make them set up the wrong values. In addition, cyberbullying, a new form of bullying derived from the Internet, can lead to depression problems in adolescents. Specifically, for positive effects, teachers can ask classmates to complete homework that requires using the Internet, and parents can teach children to use the Internet to a limited extent. For negative influences, teachers and parents should convey correct values to teenagers, communicate with teenagers on an equal footing, and help teenagers establish a growth mindset.

    Attempting to Explore Entrenched Inequalities in the UK: Analysing Darlington and Formulating a Research Methodology

    This study examines the critical definitions and debates of geographic inequality by looking at the development of inequality to clarify the pressing geographic inequality challenges facing the UK, taking Darlington as the target area for developing locally applicable research methods. Since the negative impact of the historical process of unequal development in Britain, innovative investigations are called to solve this problem. This paper discusses the deep-rooted inequality in Britain by reviewing the information on geographical inequality and analysing the data from multiple spatial perspectives. The data analysis shows that the UK is one of the unequal countries in the industrialised countries and suffers from increasing domestic inequality challenges. In addition, the economic performance of London is far better than that of other regions. London has an extreme inequality between the bottom and top income levels. In addition, the data research illustrates that Darlington has optimistic trends and low levels of educational qualifications, and average weekly income. Secondly, due to the lack of research on inequality and trends in small regions, the paper utilised the attitudinal survey design as a research method to attempt to explore the correlation between population education and income and to understand further the inequality situation in the area by the relevant authorities.

    The Effect of Microglia on Depression

    This paper focuses on the relationship between microglia and depression. Depression is affected by multiple structures, cells, and hormones, including the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, gut microbiota, stem cells, and glucocorticoids. This paper explores the relationship between microglia and structures, how these structural changes lead to increased concentrations of microglia leading to depression, and current treatment options for depression. Treatment options include drug therapy, electroacupuncture, and stem cell therapy. All of these treatments significantly impact the cure of depression and, at the same time, affect the overactivated microglia cells. It is concluded that the production of depression is closely related to microglial cells.

    Will Totalitarian Movement Rise Again in the Future?

    This paper aims to discuss the elements, technology, and entertainment that totalitarians may utilize in the future. Technology is an essential method of controlling the populace. Nowadays, more advanced technology like street cameras, smart home devices, and even smartphones can be convenient ways to monitor one's private life, which can help dictators reach total control and manipulate the populace. Despite this Orwellian vision of totalitarianism, other ideas of totalitarianism offered by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World may also be realized in the future because of the emergence of television entertainment.

    Study of the Main Components of Educational Inequality in Contemporary China

    The idea of educational equity has a long history, and the pursuit of educational justice is a long-standing human society ideal. China is one of the largest educational countries in the world. The government has been working hard for educational equity. With the continuous development of society, many educational hidden dangers left in the past have gradually emerged. The main research object of this paper is the inequity phenomenon in modern China’s education circumstances, and through the research data, policies, and existing research theories to look for the root of the inequity in China’s education. The results of the study found that it is difficult to generalize the root causes of the existing educational inequity in China. Policies, resources, and regions are one of the main manifestations of inequity, among which resources are the most important. Their origins are interrelated, and inequality of opportunity is one of the reasons. This paper puts forward some feasible schemes to improve the current situation of educational inequity in China from the perspective of different areas.

    Visually Overwhelmed Graphic Design Element Anxiety Syndrome and Its Value Leading

    In recent years, along with the diversified development of culture, two-dimensional elements in posters, posters, logos, and many other types of graphic design have become contemporary testimonies and symbols. However, many graphic designers have neglected to improve their structure and creative abilities and started to rely on the software and tools they use to produce art, leading to reduced quality of output and making everything look the same in our information-saturated world, which in turn impact the audience who has developed aesthetic anxiety and facing challenges to absorb the information they truly need in an ocean of images that is chaotic and fast-moving. In light of this, this paper analyzes the creative process and the application of contemporary graphic design. It discusses the problems in using two-dimensional elements and the corresponding solutions, such as starting from images, words, and colors simultaneously. These suggestions can significantly help to improve the effect of graphic design and creative industries to relieve the aesthetic anxiety of the public and provide them with better solutions and the ability to absorb the information they need.

    Impact of Shanghai's Zero Covid Policy on Manufacturers and Employees - Case study

    The pandemic that was brought on by the COVID-19 virus has resulted in an increase in the number of lockdowns in China. Given that Shanghai is the country's financial hub, the effects of the citywide lockdown imposed on the Chinese economy were tremendous and very significant. In order to get insight into the ways in which companies and people in Shanghai were impacted, an interview was carried out at a manufacturing company in the city. We discussed the issues and challenges that were presented to them in terms of their manufacturing, supply chain, sales, and marketing. We also spoke with employees separately to have a better understanding of the difficulties they faced. It is recommended that the government should, in the near future, relax control measures and offer greater help to small businesses and those who are now without jobs.

    The Problems Encountered in the Implementation of the “Double Reduction” Policy and Suggestions

    China published the Opinions on Further Reducing the Students' Assignment Burden and the Off-Campus Training Burden in Compulsory Education in July 2021 in an effort to alleviate the academic burden of Chinese primary and secondary students. With the execution of the "Double Reduction" policy, however, numerous problems emerged. The school has cut the amount of homework provided to students, but parents will actively offer additional homework. On the surface, the number of after-school tutoring institutes has decreased, but these classes continue to proliferate covertly. This series of issues arises from the "Double Reduction" policy's disregard for parents' and children' needs to improve exam scores. We should take into account this demand by enhancing the education burden reduction policy further. This paper will use actual cases and empirical data to illustrate the problems that have occurred since the adoption of the "Double Reduction" policy, and give suggestion to improve the policy in combination with literature and the author's own ideas.

    The Lack of Contemporary Death Education in China and Its Impact on Public Awareness

    China lacks three categories of education: sex education, education of love, and death education, which correspond to the integrity of the body, the abundance of the soul, and the value of life, but they have become forbidden, obscure, and taboo. In recent years, self-mutilation, suicide, and violence are becoming infantilization, which has a growing negative impact on teenagers. Through literature review, the main arguments of this paper are 1) the social influences caused by the lack of death education’ 2) the process of developing public awareness of death from 1928 until the present, and 3) the discussion on the first-hand data from the primary questionnaire. Therefore, this paper investigates in-depth domestic death education in China, aiming to find the correlation between whether people have received death education before and their awareness of death.

    Research on the Psychological Defects of Primary and Middle School Students in Rural Areas

    In recent years, China has experienced rapid economic development, but the problem of the uneven distribution of educational resources between urban and rural areas has also emerged. This problem has caused the educational gap and cognitive ability gap between rural children and urban children to gradually become larger, and rural children may even develop psychological problems such as low self-esteem and anxiety. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to study the psychological deficiencies of rural primary and secondary school students due to the unequal distribution of educational resources and the lack of family education. Through literature reading and analysis, this paper draws the following conclusions: the inequality of educational resources and the lack of family education can easily lead to psychological disorders such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and withdrawn personalities in rural primary and secondary school students.

    On the Necessity of the Application of China’s Constitution in Civil Trials

    Promoting the application of China’s Constitution is not only an important part of governing the country in accordance with the Constitution, but also a way to solve the problem of “difficult to invoke” in civil trials. Any law in a country is the embodiment of its constitution. In civil trials, there are inevitably cases involving infringement of citizens’ fundamental rights. When specific laws and regulations are hard or cannot be used as the basis for invoking, by solving the problem of “difficult to invoke” by the court through reasonable constitutional application, we can give consideration to the protection of citizens’ fundamental rights and civil rights in civil trials and promote the development of the rule of law.
