Women's Rights in China and Feminism on Chinese Social Media
Issue Brief June 14, 2021 Women’s Rights in China and Feminism on Chinese Social Media Frida Lindberg In recent years, women in China have to a greater extent than previously raised their voices about issues relating to women’s rights and gender equality. Social media has served as an important tool and venue for women to share their own experiences with sexual harassment, domestic violence, and gender discrimination in the labor market. Yet, while the feminist movement has been on the rise over the past ten years, feminists and women in China who speak up about gender-related issues nevertheless face threats, antagonism, and censorship online.1China has stated that it aims to empower women and protect their rights.2 However, activities and discourses that have the potential to disturb the existing social order or challenge the authorities are not tolerated by the government, as social stability is one of its top priorities.3,4 This paper addresses how women and feminists in China use social media to speak up, while at the same time having to cope with gender antagonism in Chinese society and monitoring efforts by the government. Oppression and Discrimination Against enshrined in the constitution, while initiatives that Women in China involved women in building the new communist China were introduced.8 Through posters and In ancient China, women were subordinate to first speeches, the party projected the image of female and foremost their fathers, secondly their husbands, socialist icons, so-called “iron women”, who were and lastly, as widows, their sons.

Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society
Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society by Wei Huang B. A., Huaqiao University, 2013 Extended Essays Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication (Dual Degree in Global Communication) Faculty of Communication, Art & Technology © Wei Huang 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2015 Approval Name: Wei Huang Degree: Master of Arts (Communication) Title: Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society Examining Committee: Program Director: Yuezhi Zhao Professor Frederik Lesage Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor School of Communication Simon Fraser University Baohua Wang Supervisor Professor School of Communication Communication University of China Date Defended/Approved: August 31, 2015 ii Abstract Meritocracy refers to the idea that whatever our social position at birth, society should offer the means for those with the right “talent” to “rise to top.” In context of celebrity culture, it could refer to the idea that society should allow all of us to have an equal chance to become celebrities. This article argues that as a result of globalization and consumerism in the post-reform market economy, the genre of music-based TV talent shows has become one of the most popular TV genres in China and has at the same time become a vehicle of a neoliberal meritocratic ideology. The rise of the ideology of meritocracy accompanied the pace of market reform in post-1980s China and is influenced by the loss of social safety nets during China’s transition from a socialist to a market economy. -

{PDF EPUB} Spider Sense Spider-Man Spider-Man Versus Venom by John Sazaklis Tingled Web: 15 Secrets You Never Knew About Spider-Man's Spider Sense
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Spider Sense Spider-Man Spider-Man versus Venom by John Sazaklis Tingled Web: 15 Secrets You Never Knew About Spider-Man's Spider Sense. Spider-Man's most confusing power is also his most interesting, whether or not it appears in the movies. Here's everything you need to know! Before the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), news broke that Peter Parker may not have one of his most iconic powers in the movie: his spider sense. Kevin Feige eventually confirmed that the MCU Spider-Man did in fact have his spider sense, it just wasn't explored specifically in the new film. That is a perfect example of why the power isn't just noteworthy, it's also confusing. It's one of the only super powers that can be appear in a movie and people aren't even sure if it's there or not. The way that the power is supposed to work is like this: when there's danger nearby, Peter feels a buzzing in the back of his skull or top of his neck. He refers to this sensation as a tingling , which often sounds creepy to people who are unaware of what's happening. This power gives Peter a huge advantage in a fight and makes it nearly impossible for people to sneak up on him. Of course, given the confusing nature of the power, it gives writers a lot of freedom in how it's used. Over the years, it's become Spider-Man's most varied power, and here are 15 things people never knew about it! 15 IT ALWAYS LOOKS DIFFERENT.
