John Maxwell Coetzee was an excellent writer, his first novel Foe, which is the rewriting of Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, earns a lot of acclaim from home and abroad. Coetzee gives the marginal female the role of main character, who tells the whole story. However, Susan still exists as the colonizer to Friday and the relationship between Susan and Friday is self and “the other”. With the help of the post-colonialism theory, through the analysis of Barton’s ambivalent attitude towards Friday, this thesis manages to explore the Susan’s voices and Friday’s silence in Foe.

This paper discusses the implementation of a teaching strategy based on WeChat, using the course of Floriculture as an example. The integration of WeChat into course instruction proves to be highly beneficial for students’ learning experience. It not only enhances students’ interest in learning, but also promotes active participation in the classroom, fosters autonomous learning abilities, and encourages engagement in teaching and learning. The utilization of WeChat in teaching demonstrates great significance in reforming the traditional methods of floriculture classroom instruction.

The concept of morality and its roots may not be entirely new. Every day you hear people mention the word morality. Perhaps we all have our own opinions on what morality is. Several pieces of literature abound on morality (moral norms and the elasticity of moral actions) thus making it a little complex. Many are those who perceive morality to be the domain of religion and think that people who are avowed to one sect of religious belief or the other are those who should be concerned with morality. Far from these convictions, morality affects every human person and transcends all fabrics of human endeavors. We deal with people in our everyday life be it at work, church, in communities, and the like. Our relationships with others are sometimes adjudged as good, bad, and worse. By the same token, we also consider the behavior or lifestyle of others equally as bad, good, and worse. Why should it be so? The answer lies in what morality is. The exploration of the concept of morality led to the discovery that morality takes if not all a substantial quantum of its components from philosophy and psychology benefiting from their theories and concepts that act as guiding principles for moral behavior. In this paper, the authors aimed to explore the concept of morality and review how business managers and leaders can benefit from the application of morality to improve the success of their organizations. Generally, this theoretical exploration intends to illustrate the linkage between philosophy, psychology, and morality and to help us understand how they can shape our moralistic conduct and some consequential rewards we can get as individuals, communities, business organizations, or nations by putting them into practice. Specifically, this theoretical exploration relies on existing literature and attempts to expose readers to some insights that connect philosophy and psychology to morality by exploring the nexus between philosophy, psychology, and morality. It also examines how philosophy and psychology shape morality. It further explores moral psychology and its elements. Additionally, it considers moral norms, standards, or values by focusing on some key elements: fairness, altruism, trust, and cooperation and discusses how “reciprocity” a social mechanism can help promote compliance with these moral norms, standards, or values. Finally, the review on how business managers and leaders can benefit from the application of morality to improve the success of their organizations which has also been discussed.

This study examines pragma-linguistic cues and modal expressions of (un)true reported speech after confirmation of their veracity by the reporter in the end of conversations. From an inspection of 31 conversations between friends which contained RS, we seek to align discursive features according to truth-value of utterances. In addition, surrounding elements (shielding/evaluative parts) will be analyzed to show implications of RS according to speaker and his/her subjective assessment about reported statement. Article attempts to identify prominent verbal cues of true/false reports and their parts, according to pragmatic function. Respondents were instructed to be persuasive in both cases and use constructions they apply in real life when they’re (in)sincere while transmitting others’ statements. Findings show that true RS contain more uncertain epistemic modals on peripheral parts, don’t insist on compelling their evaluations to interlocutor, while personal assessment is main part on liar’s mind, because there is expressed his/her intent for lying.

A number of studies indicate a connection between Academic Emotions and Engagement. Besides, Foreign Language Peace of Mind is a new variable in English education in China, with limited literature studying their relationship. This article investigated the correlation between English Academic Emotions, English Study Engagement, and Foreign Language Peace of Mind among 267 non-English major students in a normal university. Results indicate that English Academic Emotions, Study Engagement, and Foreign Language Peace of Mind are at a medium level. Positive Academic Emotions significantly correlate with both English Study Engagement and Foreign Language Peace of Mind. While the English Negative Academic Emotions do not correlate with English Study Engagement, among which the Negative Activity-oriented Academic Emotions negatively and significantly correlate with Foreign Language Peace of Mind, and the Negative Result-oriented Academic Emotions do not correlate with Foreign Language Peace of Mind. The findings suggest that Foreign Language Peace of Mind plays a partial mediating role between Positive Academic Emotions in English Study Engagement. This study has important implications for enhancing students' Positive Academic Emotions and increasing their level of Engagement in English studies, and promoting students’ peace of mind in foreign language learning.

Today, the usage rates of social networking sites are increasing globally, with different age groups using social media. This study aims to focus on how the users aged 65 - 74 are presenting themselves on social media, as well as their daily online habits on social media. Within the scope of this study, online behaviors of older adults on social networking sites were discussed based on Goffman’s dramaturgy theory. In this context, in-depth interviews were completed with 25 participants and the findings were analyzed with descriptive analysis. The results of the research showed that older adults’ self presentations on social media are dominated mostly by their “fears” in terms of getting punished by the political power, being excluded from society and to be deceived by some groups. They use the impression management tactics of ingratiation, exemplification and self-promotion with their digital identity.
