    Although women are less represented and objectified in the film industry, in recent years, more women entered the film industry and are bringing in narratives from the female perspective. Under this social context, The Devil Wears Prada, a film based on the novel of the same name, premiered. This paper analyzes the feminist and non-feminist themes in the film. After analysis of the script, cinematography, and story plot, this research discovers that the film reflects on feminist themes – the fashion industry as a non-patriarchal industry, less gendered use of language, and fashion as empowerment - and efficiently reveals societal expectations of women to maintain a balance between life and career. However, the film also imposes stereotypes and objectification towards women, as demonstrated in the fashion industry’s strict rules for body image and gazes from male characters to Andrea. The issues identified in this film, such as strict body image for women, still exist in contemporary society, and more research can be done to try to address this problem.

    This paper aims to analyze the different views of war in ancient China and ancient Greece, based on The Book of Songs and Ancient Greek Mythology. The comparisons are divided into three parts: the distinction of background, views in The Book of Songs, and attitudes towards war in Ancient Greek Mythology, and finally conclusion will be drawn. In the first part, the geography factors will be given, and then the analyses of lifestyles, personalities and beliefs that are influenced or shaped by the natural environment follow, also including the comparisons. The second part is on the views of war in The Book of Songs where four typical examples are given which represent four genres that indicate four different attitudes towards war in ancient China, also with analyses. Part three is based on Ancient Greek Mythology, the Trojan War especially, which fully exemplifies the western view of war. The analyses of the culture of offensive war and individual heroism follow. Finally, in the last part, some suggestions for nowadays diplomacy will be given based on the analyses and comparisons above. Also, the culture of defensive war and patriotism, as the two most distinct and significant beliefs, are worth highlighting separately, for they still deeply affect nowadays Chinese.

    The study of ancient Egyptian religion and femininity in today's academic world has become increasingly sophisticated and comprehensive, but there are still some gaps. This paper explores the impact of religion on women's status in ancient Egypt. Through case studies and literature review, the author analyses the positive impact of religion on women's status in ancient Egypt and the limitations that still exist from the perspectives of cognitive archaeology and femininity. As discussed and analysed, it can be seen that women in ancient Egypt did not have access to higher power and status due to the lack of educational opportunities and the domestic duties they had to undertake, but on the bright side, the existence of the religion in ancient Egypt and its widespread worship guaranteed women's religious participation and allowed them to gain power and status in the religious sphere, which in turn gradually extended their well-being in the practical sphere.

    In recent years, with advanced technology, various kinds of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in different domains are booming. However, chatbots in the field of digital mental health are still in their early stages and have not yet been widely adopted. Since people’s psychological problems have become increasingly prevalent in society, and many have not been handled, this paper provided comprehensive research and review on the necessity and potential for AI to address the psychological issues faced by the Chinese population through a questionnaire investigation. The questionnaire investigation aimed to gather information on people's attitudes towards using chatbots in digital mental health as a solution. The responses were collected from diverse age groups of participants, including both males and females and varying provinces of residence in China. Overall, the results of the questionnaire investigation showed the possible future of this kind of chatbot among Chinese people.
