What values and responsibilities do we abandon as we transition from college to adulthood?

W

In the process of becoming an adult, we often lose sight of the values that we hold dear, as I found myself forgetting the value of concessions in the midst of fatigue and conflict after entering college. However, in order to become a true adult, we must constantly look at ourselves, reflect, and strive to become a better person.   When I was in high school, I thought college students with...

The open structure of legal rules and the purpose of legal interpretation: How can the positions of Hart and Fuller be reconciled?

T

In legal interpretation, Hart emphasizes the open structure of language and values clarity of legal rules, while Fuller emphasizes the purpose and context of the law, arguing that legal interpretation should embody social ethics and justice. The positions of both scholars provide important criteria for legal interpretation and contribute to finding a balance in the process of applying the law...

How do legal principles and legal rules interact and what role do they play in guiding legal decisions?

H

Legal principalism divides legal norms into legal rules and legal principles, with legal rules having clear normative content and legal principles having ideological authority. Rules of law have definite requirements and consequent legal effects, while principles of law seek optimal legal effects and resolve conflicts through interest sentencing. Legal principles play an important role in...

How can CPTED principles protect the vulnerable and prevent crime in low-income neighborhoods?

H

  Recently, violent crimes against vulnerable people, such as children and women, have become a problem in densely populated areas. Due to the lack of budget and manpower, existing crime prevention measures are limited, and the principle of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) is gaining attention as an alternative. CPTED is a strategy that reduces crime opportunities and...

Do aesthetic judgments about works of art reflect objective properties or are they expressions of subjective experience?

D

Aesthetic realism holds that aesthetic properties are real to the object, while aesthetic antirealism holds that aesthetic judgments are based on subjective experience. Both sides agree that aesthetic judgments are statements that require rational reasons, but they differ on whether they are based on objective properties or subjective sensibilities.   In aesthetics, one of the debates about...

Why are the roles of men and women interpreted differently from an evolutionary psychology perspective?

W

When I was a junior in college, I discussed evolutionary psychology with my classmates when we were talking about gender roles on blind dates. When I explained that evolutionary psychology explains male and female traits in terms of genetics, the boys viewed it negatively. However, I believe that evolutionary psychology is a scientific framework for understanding human nature. It explains human...

Why do we need to know more about the Ice Bucket Challenge and ALS?

W

The recent Ice Bucket Challenge was started to raise awareness and understanding of the suffering of people with Lou Gehrig’s disease, which destroys motor neurons and gradually paralyzes muscles, and for which there is still no clear cause or cure. With so many people participating in the challenge, awareness of the disease is growing, and support is coming in to help those affected...

Why have nuclear industry professionals been labeled the “nuclear mafia” and is it a legitimate criticism?

W

The term “nuclear mafia” is used to criticize nuclear industry professionals, but it’s a distortion of a natural phenomenon in which they hold key positions primarily because of their expertise. Nuclear power is a reliable and efficient source of energy, and specialized knowledge is essential. Some unethical behavior is not representative of the entire industry, and we need to...

Why has modern civilization caused global warming, and what can we do to address it?

W

Modern civilization has brought us many conveniences, but it has also created a serious problem: global warming. Changes in the climate system and increased carbon dioxide emissions are causing global temperatures to rise. To solve this problem, we need international cooperation, advances in science and technology, and small individual actions.   Modern civilization has given us so much...

Genetically modified foods, a real solution to food problems or a potentially dangerous monster?

G

The term “Frankenfood” refers to genetically modified foods, which have been developed to increase production and facilitate distribution. However, these foods are controversial because their safety for humans and ecosystems is unproven. While genetically modified foods are often seen as a solution to food problems, they also pose potential risks, disruption of ecosystems, and loss of...
