Content analysis and methodology of narrative explore the ideological nature of representations of youth as well as the interpretation of trends in Chinese youth cinema. This study argues the particular manners of representations of Chinese youth in the youths＇ films produced in China's Mainland, through distinct elements such as film properties, film discourse, and acting on set It will explain how functional and social category diversity, cultural diversity, and historical diversity derive the actuality in Chinese communities, and center on a series of sex-based issues that revel correlations between Chinese youths＇ ideology, psychology, and social construction. Including a discussion of technical factors, it defines the specific natures of Chinese youth cinema in the region based on fixed parameters of culture or ancestry that convey rhetorical messages to discover the characteristics of genre film so that the interpretation of the term ＂peers groups＂ represents the values and beliefs in modern Chinese society, thus presenting the exchange approaches which construct and validate the relationship among society, global film industry, young audience and film content.展开更多

文摘Objectives:The climate crisis demands urgent action from all sectors of society,including young people in higher education.While previous research has explored individual and contextual predictors of pro-environmental behaviour(PEB),the contribution of Positive Youth Development(PYD)remains underexplored.This study investigates the relationship between PYD dimensions(Competence,Confidence,Connection,Character,and Caring)and two environmental outcomes:environmental habits and climate change awareness,considering gender differences.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 1779 students from 10 universities in Andalusia(Spain).Data were collected through an online survey assessing PYD indicators,PEB,and sociodemographic variables.Descriptive statistics,t-tests,correlation analyses,and multiple mediation models were performed.Results:Descriptive analyses indicated moderate levels of PYD dimensions and PEB across the sample.Among the 5 Cs,Caring had a positive association with environmental habits(r 0.22,p 0.001)and climate change awareness(r=<=0.30,p 0.001).Character also had a positive effect on both environmental habits(r 0.23,p 0.001)and climate<=<change awareness(r 0.30,p 0.001).Competence and Confidence were not significantly associated,and Connection=<demonstrated limited predictive value,potentially influenced by contextual or social factors.Gender differences were also identified,with women showing higher scores in Character(d 0.29,p 0.001),Caring(d 0.63,p 0.001),=<=<environmental habits(d 0.20,p 0.001)and climate change awareness(d 0.40,p 0.001),while men scored higher in=<=<Competence(d 0.57,p 0.001)and Confidence(d 0.22,p 0.001).Mediation analyses indicated that the association=<=<between gender and environmental habits was totally explained by Character(β95%CI:and=-0.02;-0.04;-0.01)Caring(β95%CI:Furthermore,the relationship between gender and climate change awareness=-0.04;-0.05,-0.02).was partially mediated by Character(β95%CI:and Caring(β95%CI:=-0.03;-0.05;-0.02)=-0.05;-0.07,-0.03).Conclusions:Females showed more environmental habits and climate change awareness than males,because of their greater scores in both Caring and Character dimensions of PYD.These findings highlight the importance of the PYD for promoting PEB and engaged citizens among young adults.Gender-sensitive and interdisciplinary interventions,such as environmental volunteering and community-based programmes,are recommended for university contexts to enhance sustainable development behaviours and values.
文摘The emergence of new media with multiple platforms has abundantly adjusted the socio-political perspectives in such a way that our everyday conducts and professionalism point of views are entrenched over technological diffusion.The young people remain the potential users on the social media,considering their primary bases for daily accomplishments,owing to the novel features and realistic methods available.As an entry point,this paper intends to draw the conception of the public sphere,whereby the notion of publics is vital on abstracting the sphere of the internet,in which abundant spheres meant for the multiple clusters embark on political communication for their ways distinctly.It’s the ideal realm which converges the peripheral spheres into the inclusive domain through communicative actions.In the developing countries,the youths along with minorities’engagement and reliance on the internet have been ominously mounting,comprehensive for political identities and rationalizing their civic opinions.Polling discussion on running candidates and political parties’manifestations are common during the general election and some diaspora communities and further foreign activists play a part in political affairs of the countries.Thus,this article aims at tracing the potential civil integrity for youths with political information efficacy fostered on digital public spheres,by which traditional media are politically run-downed,remoted by draconian legal framework and commercial determinants.Besides,this paper argues about the offline publics which are ideally distant,and thus far implies to the narrow unitary sphere theorization owing to the technology division which so far entails partial civic life.
