The World

 Since the Opium War, China has gradually degenerated into a semi colonial and semi feudal society, and the major powers of the world have invaded China one after another to seize various privileges and interests. As an emerging capitalist country, the United States has different ways of aggression. This was related to the national strength and world situation of the United States at that time, but it was more based on the consideration of the national strategic interests of the United States. Based on the historical facts, this paper mainly studies the cultural export of ancient China from the perspective of American education and medical treatment, so as to further explore the purpose of this cultural export and its impact on Chinese society.

The Common

The United States is among the most religiously diverse countries in the world. Although such diversity is not a new phenomenon, its degree and visibility have increased dramatically in the past fifty years, reigniting the debate over a fundamental civic question: What is the common identity that binds us together? How we respond to religious diversity in the context of education has enormous implications for our democratic society. To the extent that previous frameworks such as exclusion or assimilation ever were desirable or effective, they no longer are. Increased religious diversity is an established fact and growing trend. The United States needs a more inclusive and robust civic framework for religious diversity in the twenty-first century—pluralism—and this framework should be an essential component of civic education.

Biological Weapons Convention

This article describes the restraints on biological weapons, as dictated in the 1925 Geneva Protocol and the Biological Weapons Convention, and the weaknesses of these instruments. Falk clearly argues for nonpossession as a requirement of international stability. He points out that their commitment to unconditional renunciation has been disregarded by the United States and the Soviet Union. The author concludes that the failure of major powers to comply with the rules they themselves set has encouraged emulation by the rest of the world. It is the duty of those with extensive knowledge of this weaponry to eliminate the pressure for its development.

Rapid Reaction

The article reviews proposals to create a United Nations standing armed force as opposed to a rapid reaction force. In either case, to play its optimal role in the future of peacekeeping operations, the U.N. will have to face up to new demands, beyond those contemplated in 1945. Given the resistance in Iraq that has surprised two major powers (the United States and the United Kingdom), it is plausible that a truly collective effort by the U.N., even at higher costs in people and finance, merits serious consideration in order to secure peaceful lives in the world.

China’s national strength alone does not ensure its position as a “world leader” or a “competent leader.” It would be prudent for China to consider the international situation. The question arises, “Will China become a super strong or a member of group strong or are we seeing a reversal to the bipolar era?” This article explores the role China can play in the development and change in the world order. Will China police the world along with the United States. The article discusses the background of the super strong and the group strong; how the country could evolve into a “group of strong.” Furthermore, it analyzes the current situation of the world pattern and presents the outlook for the future. Results indicate that peace and development are current themes, and the pattern of future world would depend on the gambling stratagem among the major powers.

The United States has become extremely wary of China in recent years due to reasons such as China’s aspiration to become a maritime power, campaign to strengthen ties with other major powers, efforts to secure a presence in Central Asia and an ambitious economic and industrial outreach. Together with China’s One Belt, One Road initiative, they conjure an image of a China bent on challenging the United States on the world stage.

The author examines the materials of the US media in 1989, devoted to finding answers to the question about the type of protests in China. Analysis of the US press reveals a complex and controversial information situation. 1989 saw a gradual increase in the interest of journalists, editors, and politicians to the problem of existence of citizen society and democracy in China. US journalists had come to understanding the new contours of the geopolitical picture; they realized that there are at least two global approaches to the question of restructuring Chinese society and that these approaches directly affect the understanding of the new role of the United States in the world.

The pandemic of COVID-19 created great havoc in the whole world through its fast penetration. The virus, after hitting China, soon penetrated the world at a very fast pace. The pandemic crippled the economic structure of the world compelling them for prompt action.  Though some countries had to adopt strategies for the recovery of their economies either through V-shaped or through U-shaped recovery, yet it would have far-reaching consequences on their economies. Every country had to make the best use of its available resources for protecting the health as well as the economic sector. The most affected ones were the major powers particularly the United States and European Powers besides some other countries of Asia. The focus of this paper is on the adherence to SOPs and different economic and relief packages by the major powers for the survival of their countries and the restoration of the economies.

Background. Nearly all of the research on sex differences in mass media utilization has been based on samples from the United States and a few other Western countries. Aim. The present study examines sex differences in mass media utilization in four Asian countries (Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore). Methods. College students self-reported the frequency with which they accessed the following five mass media outlets: television dramas, televised news and documentaries, music, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet. Results. Two significant sex differences were found when participants from the four countries were considered as a whole: Women watched television dramas more than did men; and in Japan, female students listened to music more than did their male counterparts. Limitations. A wider array of mass media outlets could have been explored. Conclusions. Findings were largely consistent with results from studies conducted elsewhere in the world, particularly regarding sex differences in television drama viewing. A neurohormonal evolutionary explanation is offered for the basic findings.

Sandra Ramos (b. 1969) is one of the few artists to reflect critically on both sides of the Cuban di-lemma, fully embodying the etymological origins of the word in ancient Greek: di-, meaning twice, and lemma, denoting a form of argument involving a choice between equally unfavorable alternatives. Throughout her works she shines a light on the dilemmas faced by Cubans whether in Cuba or the United States, underlining the bad personal and political choices people face in both countries. During the hard 1990s, while still in Havana, the artist focused on the traumatic one-way journey into exile by thousands, as well as the experience of profound abandonment experienced by those who were left behind on the island. Today she lives in Miami and operates a studio there as well as one in Havana. Her initial disorientation in the USA has morphed into an acerbic representation and critique of the current administration and a deep concern with the environmental collapse we face. A buffoonlike Trumpito has joined el Bobo de Abela and Liborio in her gallery of comic characters derived from the rich Cuban graphic arts tradition where she was formed. While Cuba is now represented as a rotten cake with menacing flies hovering over it ready to pounce, a bombastic Trumpito marches across the world stage, trampling everything underfoot, a dollar sign for a face.
