What is Wrong with Conforming to Social Norms? A Sartrean perspective
This paper examines Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialist critique of social conformity, Sartre’s critique reveals the cost of societal conformity: it exchanges our most precious freedom and the possibility of authentic selfcreation for fleeting comfort and a sense of belonging. This philosophical analysis invites us to examine moments of “self-deception” in our daily lives and encourages us to courageously exercise our freedom, shaping a unique life through sincere choices.The paper engages with recent scholarship, including Anderson’s work on Sartre’s two ethics and contemporary applications to digital identity performance. Through examination of Sartre’s waiter example and the concept of “the look,” the analysis reveals how social conformity operates through both external enforcement and internalized objectification. The paper addresses key objections, distinguishing between necessary social coordination and rigid conformity, while clarifying how Sartre’s later ethics incorporates collective responsibility alongside individual authenticity. Ultimately, the paper argues that authentic existence requires critical reflection on inherited social patterns and the courage to resist norms that limit human flourishing, demonstrating increasing relevance for contemporary challenges including digital alienation and systemic inequality.

A Comparative Analysis of Tragic Prototypes in Chinese and Western Disaster Myths: Taking Gun’s Efforts in Flood Control and Prometheus’ Act of Stealing Fire as Examples
In ancient times, prior to the establishment of written records, early civilizations often relied on oral narratives to cope with frequent yet inexplicable natural disasters. The resulting disaster myths underwent continuous evolution yet eventually crystallized through intergenerational transmission and evolved into a distinct form of collective identity endowed with unique ethnic traits. This paper focuses on the types of natural disasters in mythological narratives, selecting two classic mythological tragedies—Gun’s attempt to tame the floods and Prometheus’ theft of fire—with the aim of comparing the differences between Chinese and Western myths through dimensions such as mythological settings, central figures, and underlying logic, and thereby exploring how national myths articulate distinctive cultural features. By comparing the typical cases of disaster deepening tragedies in China and the West, it can not only help us gain insight into the profound differences between different cultures, but also provide a feasible approach for modern people to solve the problem of disaster response, and even play an important role in the process of continuing the collective memory and cultural genes of the nation.
This essay explores Jean-Paul Sartre’s idea of radical freedom and the criticism that his philosophy places too heavy a weight of responsibility on human beings. Starting with Sartre’s contention that existence precedes essence, it considers how his ontology of freedom insists on radical self-determining in a universe without divine or natural assurances. But critics say this requirement makes life unbearably solitary and morally absolutist. The essay rereads the accusation of bad faith through Sartre’s model for it and argues that its protest responsibility is a masked form of refusal to confront one’s freedom. It goes on to examine the modifications brought by Simone de Beauvoir’s concept of situated freedom and Sartre’s own subsequent formulation in Critique of Dialectical Reason, which conceives freedom within historical and social totalities. Finally, the essay maintains that the “burden” of responsibility is not an ethical excess or a failure of abstraction, but constitutive of human existence as such: an ontological necessity enabling both authenticity and dignity and moral creativity.
The Sociocultural Influence of British and American Accents on English Teaching in China: Identity Formation and Teaching Implications
In China, English is the principal foreign language for studying, working, and communicating abroad. In this context, both British and American accents have become symbols of language and culture, influencing learners and teachers’ understanding of English. Based on a review of literature and educational practices, this study explores the historical development and social functions of Standard Pronunciation (RP) and General English (GA) in the United States, as well as their impact on the construction of learner identity in Chinese English education. The results show that RP is typically seen as prestige and authority, whereas GA is associated with accessibility and practicality. Learners show their tendency through accent choice. But in some classes, exam-oriented teaching, inconsistent teacher’s accent, and bias against different accents hinder education. In response, this study proposes pedagogical approaches that value accent diversity, prioritize intelligibility, and support identity development. By analyzing accents, authentic interaction, and intercultural exchanges, students can develop linguistic adaptability and intercultural competence and at the same time reinforce their cultural identity and sense of belonging.
The Theory of Humanistic Spirit Contained in Historical Records
This paper studies the profound humanistic system constructed in Historical Records, by Sima Qian. Through the combination of text reading and theoretical interpretation, examples and ideological analysis, the following four care dimensions are discussed: the individual value of human and the analysis of the unique status of human in history; The integration of the concept of the times morality, ethics and historical evaluation shows the internal relationship of humanities in society; the philosophy of the indomitable spirit of human; The sublimation of individual value, from the world to the understanding and pursuit of the mission consciousness of cultural heritage. This article argues that the theory of humanistic spirit in Historical Records, by Sima Qian’s a system with rich levels and contents, which takes respect for individuals as its starting point, social construction as its link, and praises the system of fighting bravely for fate and pursuing mission. This system is a great historiography masterpiece that inherits the ancient but has pioneering significance and lays the foundation for the humanistic tradition of Chinese historiography in later generations. It is also the spiritual source of cultivating the spirit of the contemporary people, and has important enlightenment value with personal face, world connection and responsibility burden.
Political Metaphors in the Representation of Strategists: Fan Li and Zhang Liang in Shiji and Zizhi Tongjian
Against the backdrop of traditional Chinese historiography,figures such as Fan Li and Zhang Liang have long been regarded as emblematic strategists whose careers embody the tension between political authority,ethical judgment,and personal withdrawal. This paper focuses on their representations in Sima Qian’s Shiji and Sima Guang’s Zizhi Tongjian ,with the aim of revealing how two eminent historians constructed these characters to serve distinct historiographical purposes. Employing a comparative textual analysis,the study examines narrative strategies,thematic emphases,and contextual differences between the two works. The findings indicate that Sima Qian highlights the complexity of early Han political ecology,presenting Fan Li and Zhang Liang as figures negotiating between power,cunning,and moral ambiguity,whereas Sima Guang reshapes them within a didactic framework aligned with his moral and political agenda for governance. The study concludes that these divergent portrayals not only illuminate the contrasting historical consciousness and value orientations but also demonstrate the broader role of biographical writing in articulating historiographical intent within the Chinese intellectual tradition.
The Expression of Female Artists in Intimate Relationships: Marina Abramović’s Expression of Female Emotions in Performance Art.
Close relationships play an important role in meeting people’s needs for emotional support, security and belonging. The theory of interdependence states that individuals unconsciously give in relationships to satisfy their partner’s needs, and that this giving is in line with their inner self-awareness, which in turn increases their satisfaction with the relationship. However, this interdependence may also lead people to unconsciously seek more attention and emotional value from their partners. This article discusses why female artists regard the intimate relationship of their partners as the core of their artistic creation, and think that the intimate relationship is an important part of their lives, reflecting their personal life experiences. Women artists explore these relationships to express their identity, emotions, and social roles. In addition, female artists tend to create through emotional and direct means, and intimate relationships provide them with rich emotional materials, such as love, pain and desire, and other emotional elements, allowing them to tap into the complexity of human emotions. Taking Roman Abramovich as an example, this performance artist, who works from a female perspective, breaks with traditional artistic perceptions by using the body as a medium and combining the experience of emotional life, the mother of performance art in the 20th century. Her work reflects the unique experience and energy of women and the profound influence of intimate relationships in the creation of art.

A study of drama translation from the perspective of feminist translation -- A case study of The Romance of the Western Bower.
The theory of female translation originated from the western feminist movement. This theory regards translation as a political activity, pays more attention to the translator’s subjectivity and creativity in the process of translation, and tries to promote the spread of feminism through translation. This paper explores the specific application and limitations of feminist translation theory in practice through the study of the English translation of The Romance of the Western Bower(a classical Chinese literature written by Wang Shifu). According to comparative studies, female translators are generally more likely than male translators to pay attention to how female roles are portrayed in the target text and to use certain translation techniques to lessen the prejudice against female roles in the source text and attempt to balance out the gender differences. From the perspective of feminist translation theory, this paper also reveals the influence of the social background centered on male discourse power on women’s lives in ancient China.
Poetic Exploration Under the Changes of the Times: Taking Li Bai and Li He as Examples.
In the nearly 300 years of the Tang Dynasty, it is evident that while the poetry from different periods embodies a rich poetic culture, each era possesses unique expressions and artistic styles. Prominent among these are the distinctive styles of Li Bai, a poet from the Tang Dynasty, and Li He, a poet from the Middle Tang Dynasty. This article will compare and analyze the imagery, artistic conception, and writing techniques of two poems by these poets, aiming to explore their divergent artistic styles and uncover the emotional expressions and philosophical thoughts they convey. It will then delve into how these poets reflect the characteristics of their times in their works and how they respond to the changes of their eras through their own creations. Additionally, the article will focus on analyzing the historical contexts of the two poets and discuss how these contexts influenced their creative ideas and modes of expression. By discussing these differences, the article reveals the diversity inherent in the development of Tang Dynasty poetry, as well as the interplay between the shifts of the times and the creative output of poets.

The Disparity in Expenditure on Compulsory Education Between Urban and Rural Areas.
As an important component of State financial expenditure, education expenditure is of great significance in upgrading national quality and promoting social equity. However, even though China has launched a series of policies to promote the balanced development of compulsory education, there is still a significant urban-rural gap in China’s compulsory education expenditure, which not only affects the development of rural education but also exacerbates the inequality between urban and rural areas. This paper analyses the current situation of the urbanrural gap in education expenditure, and concludes that the causes of the unequal situation are the difference in fiscal expenditure, the difference in education expenditure, the unequal allocation of resources, the difference in teacher strength, and the difference in the development of the economic level; it also puts forward the following countermeasures to improve the situation: improving the education infrastructure, perfecting the education policy and management system, and promoting the cooperation between home and school and the participation of the society; to provide references to the promotion of education fairness.
The Effect of First Language on Spoken English Accents.
This paper presents the effects of first language (L1) on the spoken English accents of non-native speakers. This paper analysed spoken English of native speakers from Spanish, French and Chinese through a review of past literature, focusing on phonological features, intonation patterns and overall intelligibility. The findings demonstrate that speakers’ L1 has a major impact on how they pronounce English and that they maintain unique phonological traits in their spoken language. Furthermore, the accent was further impacted by dialectal differences within the L1 group, which resulted in unique intonation patterns that impacted listeners’ assessments of intelligibility and fluency. These results highlight the intricate relationship between second language learning and the native language system, indicating that teachers should take L1 influence into account when creating lesson plans for English language learners. This study contributes to understanding accent formation and provides insights into language teaching and assessment practices.

Research on the Influencing Factors and Mobilization Strategies of Higher Education Students’ Learning Motivation from the Perspective of Teachers.
This study explored the key factors that affect student’s learning motivation and how teachers mobilize students’ motivation in higher education. Based on the dilemma of students passively accepting knowledge in the traditional indoctrination education model, this study analyzed the impact of internal and external motivation factors on students’ academic performance through a combination of literature review and semi-structured interviews. The results showed that students’ learning motivation is affected by intrinsic interest, external incentives (such as grades, and scholarships), and teachers’ teaching strategies. Teachers play an important role in mobilizing students’ motivation and can enhance students’ motivation through goal setting, timely feedback, and flexible curriculum design. However, teachers face challenges such as resource constraints and insufficient personalized teaching in practice. This study suggests that teachers adopt diversified strategies such as cooperative learning and competitive teaching to balance internal and external incentive mechanisms cultivate students’ autonomous learning abilities and provide a reference for future educational practice.

English Translation Studies: Chinese Literary Works.
This paper examines the two most prevalent strategies employed in the English translation of Chinese literary works. First, the effectiveness of literal translation is examined, with a focus on how well it renders legal documents, historical accounts, textbooks, and religious texts. Since accuracy and faithfulness to the source text are crucial in these kinds of works, the use of literal translation in these situations is justified. Second, it is examined that when the cultural content and context of the source text need to be successfully communicated, free or idiomatic translation may be an essential tactic. When translating literary works, where imagination is crucial, this method is invaluable.Furthermore, this study explores the cross-cultural difficulties that arise when translating between Chinese and English, paying particular attention to idioms, which frequently present serious translation challenges. The study also investigates the translation of seminal works such as Water Margin, Journey to the West, and others, alongside Botev’s Translation, to illustrate how adept translation can reconcile the linguistic and cultural differences between the source and target texts. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into translation processes is examined, along with the associated possibilities and challenges. By examining these translation strategies and their applications, this study aims to contribute to the field of translation studies and enhance the appreciation and understanding of Chinese literary works in English-speaking contexts.

In particular, learners with ASD face several challenges, including sensory processing, communication deficits, and communication comprehension. Additionally, educators encounter difficulties developing educational materials and teaching strategies appropriate for students with ASD. Furthermore, the review highlights effective interventions such as the use of visual teaching tools, vocabulary acquisition techniques, reading comprehension strategies, and parent collaboration. Consequently, Students with ASD can benefit significantly from ESL learning when educators recognize and address their unique needs, allowing them to develop language skills while balancing their cognitive and sensory needs.
Comparison Between Vocational Education in China and Germany.
The issue of VET (technical and vocational education and training) in China has recently become the subject of considerable attention, yet there remain shortcomings in the manner of its development. This paper examines the distinctions between technical training in China and Germany about the legal framework, social and cultural context, and the structure of the vocational education system. It finds that both countries emphasise the equal status of vocational and general education. Regarding social background, the lack of attention to vocational workers in China’s Confucian culture affects the enrolment in vocational education and the job status of graduates. The German cultural background and the cultural advantages of German industrial culture provide a more favourable social environment for vocational education. In terms of the education system, the Chinese vocational education system is mainly dominated by vocational schools, with enterprises contributing less to vocational education. In Germany, however, vocational education is shared by government departments and enterprises, with schoolenterprise cooperation being relatively close. In light of the aforementioned analysis, this paper proposes the suggestions as follows: at the legal level, the vocational education law in China should be further amended to provide more robust protection for the interests of VET apprentices; at the social and cultural level, China should place greater emphasis on the social status of Vocational education. In the matter of the education system, China’s vocational education group should facilitate greater involvement of industry associations and local enterprises in vocational education.

A Comparison of Educational Equality and Equity in Gaokao and Admission System between China and the United States.
This article focuses on the issues of educational equality and equity as reflected in the Chinese Gaoako and the American college admissions system. China and the United States use completely different strategies in selecting students for higher education. Gaokao, a unified national standardized test, is the name of the college entrance exam in China. A student’s eligibility to enroll in college is determined by their test result. The admissions process in the United States is more comprehensive, taking into account a student’s extracurricular activities, personal statements, and scores on standardized tests. To guarantee fair entrance, the Gaokao gives pupils a single set of test questions and answers; the admissions process takes into account the socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds of various students in order to address the issue of equality. However, both countries face the challenge of whether they can truly achieve educational equity due to socioeconomic inequality and unequal access to educational resources. By comparing the two systems, this article explores some similarities and differences in the challenges faced by the two countries.

Spanish students exhibit substantial vocabulary and grammatical structure migration, whereas Chinese students mostly exhibit language transfer in pronunciation and grammatical structure.
Gender Commonality and Differences in Public English Learning and Their Countermeasures.
In the process of discussing the effectiveness and efficiency of English learning, the similarity and difference between male and female, as a multi-dimensional influence factor, its importance cannot be ignored. While there are some similarities between the English language learning processes of male and female pupils, the gender-based disparities are considerably more notable. Schools should take into account how gender affects how well students learn English and use the necessary strategies to help both male and female students become more proficient in the language and create a more productive learning environment. This article mainly looks at the elements that influence the similarities and differences in English learning between male and female students in order to fully improve the efficacy of English instruction in public schools. . Based on this analysis, it suggests that teachers and schools employ appropriate teaching activities and approaches to fully utilize the advantages and potential of each gender in learning the language.
Research on Film Subtitle Translation—A Case Study of Hi, Mom.
As a consequence of the growing proximity between China and the rest of the world, Chinese films are becoming increasingly visible on the international stage, occupying a unique position as carriers of Chinese culture. It is therefore crucial to promote the export of Chinese films overseas through improved translation. It is projected that Hi, Mom, a time-travel comedy from Jia Ling, will become the second highest-grossing film in China, with an estimated final gross of RMB 5.17 billion ( $ 799 million), as estimated by Maoyan. This study analyses the methods used in subtitle translation in the context of it and explains the success of subtitle translation in the film, which has significant implications for the practice of film subtitle translation and the promotion of cross-cultural communication between China and other countries. This paper concludes that the English translation of subtitles in the context of comedy movies must be integrated with the language and context, and that the corresponding translation methods should be employed in accordance with the specific circumstances.
