Theoretical Connotation and Practical Direction of the Chinese Youth’s Historical Mission in the New Era

Since modern times, in the historical process of national liberation, Chinese youths have dared to shoulder the historical mission and made outstanding contributions in the history of modern China. Inheriting the historical mission entrusted by the predecessors and carrying the ideal of the Chinese people in pursuit of a better life, the contemporary Chinese youth is becoming a force that cannot be ignored in the practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Under the unprecedented material conditions and institutional advantages, only through “establishing lofty ideals”, “raising courage to struggle” and “practicing excellent skills” can the unity of ideality and reality be realized. Only by “loving the great motherland”, “taking the responsibility of the times”,and “refining moral character” can the unification of personal and social values be realized. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, with the continuous improvement of China's educational system, under the guidance of the socialist core value system, Chinese youths in the new era have begun to show patriotism, determination, diligence, moral cultivation, innovation, and pragmatism.This will certainly promote the contemporary youth to gradually grow into talents who can adhere to their ideals and keep pace with the times.

跨文化传播时代的广告

广告文化作为文化传播的一种形式,必须为弘扬民族文化、实现民族文化的合理拓展作出承诺。从广告传播的角度来看,广告若欲将信息传递给目标受众,就必须采用本民族容易接受的文化形式和文化价值观。因此,在广告传播中采用民族题材、弘扬民族文化价值观的广告作品十分多见。这些广告表现了同一文化的亲和力,极大的唤起了消费者的文化认同,从而导致其购买行为,而客观上它们又弘扬了民族传统。     

Complex Individualism and Legitimacy of Absolute Property Rights

In this article my purpose is to go thoroughly into the ideas expressed by economists regarding the legitimacy of absolute property rights. I visit the Lockian argument taken up by Murray Rothbard (1.1) and the principle of the finder keeper clarified by Israel Kizner (1.2). I argue that it is impossible to legitimate either the property of the finder keeper or the property of oneself if man does not think of himself as an individual. Indeed individualism becomes the cultural prerequisite required to acknowledge the rights of the finder keeper and the goods obtained through labour. Here, Hayek's complex individualism is akin to the hypothesis of the social animal of Benjamin Constant and the work of Gabriel Tarde on the transformation of law. The individual is both an effect and a cause of property rights.

大学生消费价值观遭遇文化帝国主义

作为当代市场经济社会中不可或缺的人格素质要求,大学生的消费行为及其价值观的形成过程应当被视为一个全面的意识形态教育及其信念的建构过程。在西方消费社会的文化价值观连同其中的意识形态开始直接影响当代大学生的思想状况的时候,有必要适当调整大学生思想政治教育的视角,开展围绕着“消费价值观教育”的相关改革。

Modeling Facts,Culture, and Cognition in the Gun Debate

Can empirical data generate consensus about how to regulate firearms? If so, under what conditions? Previously, we presented evidence that individuals' cultural worldviews explain their positions on gun control more powerfully than any other fact about them, including their race or gender, the type of community or region of the country they live in, and even their political ideology or party affiliation. On this basis, we inferred that culture is prior to facts in the gun debate: empirical data can be expected to persaude individuals to change their view on gun policies only after those individuals come to see those policies as compatible with their core cultural commitments. We now respond to critics. Canvassing the psychological literature, we identify the mechanisms that systematically induce individuals to conform their factual beliefs about guns to their culturally grounded moral evaluations of them. To illustrate the strength and practical implications of these dynamics, we develop a series of computer simulations, which show why public beliefs about the efficacy of gun control can be expected to remain highly polarized even in the face of compelling empirical evidence. Finally, we show that the contribution culture makes to cognition could potentially be harnessed to generate broad, cross-cultural consensus: if gun policies can be framed in terms that are expressively compatible with diverse cultural worldviews, the motivation to resist compelling empirical evidence will dissipate, and individuals of diverse cultural persuasions can be expected rapidly to converge in their beliefs about what policies are best. Constructing a new, expressively pluralistic idiom of gun control should therefore be the first priority of policy-makers and -analysts interested in promoting the adoption of sound gun policies.
