You All Made Dank Memes: Using Internet Memes to Promote Critical Thinking

In the time following the 2016 presidential election, much has been written about the spread of false information on social media websites. Given the potential influence false information has had on American politics, it is more important than ever for people to critically evaluate the content they view and share on social media. This article describes an activity that encourages students to develop evidence based arguments and think critically about content shared on social media. In the activity, students are asked to generate an internet meme related to U.S. politics and write a short essay defending the position they have taken in the meme. This article explains how the activity can promote critical thinking and includes suggestions for future implementation.

利用Flash制作交互式气相色谱虚拟实验

气相色谱实验是仪器分析实验教学中的一个重要组成部分,由于气相色谱价格昂贵,操作相对复杂,学生能够自己动手独立操作的机会较少,常规实验方法达到教学大纲规定的效果.运用网络多媒体开发工具Flash MX 2004制作了交互式气相色谱虚拟实验,使学生在电脑上"操作"气相色谱,熟悉仪器工作原理,完成实验过程,可以克服传统实验方法的不足,改善实验教学效果.

Reconciling China with international order

Abstract

The debate about Western policies towards China ('containment’ versus ‘engagement') is intellectually and politically misleading. At issue is not so much the policy blueprint but the ability of Western countries to design and implement coherent and consistent policies towards China, and to coordinate those policies between themselves. This ability has been affected by a trend towards the ‘domestication’ of foreign policies — a trend which is particularly marked in the case of the United States, but clearly visible in France, the UK and Germany as well. If the capacity to design, implement and coordinate effective China policies is to be regained, the problems will have to be recognized and addressed.     

克制、勤奋、节俭、追求财富以完成“天职”

《新教伦理和资本主义精神》是马克斯.韦伯关于宗教研究的开篇之作。主要论述了新教伦理和资本主义精神的选择性亲和。同时引发了一场关于资本主义起源问题的争论。试图综合各种观点,提出了资本主义起源的经济决定论和文化决定论。然而,在当今高度现代性的流动社会中,其理论失去了现实意义,从而引发了韦伯命题的反思。所以,试图从方法论上来审视,对韦伯社会科学方法论在实践中进行反思。
