Sign language is a visual language that conveys intentions through physical signals, including movements as like hands and eyes, based on existing spoken languages. Communication in sign language generally involves combinations of shapes drawn with fingers or arms, their position and movement, and facial expressions (Padden, 1990). As hearing-impaired people grow and with increased availability of receiving education, many also learn sign languages in addition to spoken languages (Lucas, & Valli 1992). In these cases, lip shapes or sounds can be used to supplement communication, but sign language remains the primary language for most hearing-impaired people, with spoken languages playing a secondary role. Sign language is a distinct language and should not be confused with non-verbal communication systems such as body language. A common misconception is that sign language is a universal language (Lillo, 2010). For example, signals used in sports games or specific organizations are not considered sign language. To clarify this distinction and improve conditions for hearing impaired people, some countries designate sign language as an official language, allowing them to access more diverse and abundant information. This misconception arises from the prejudice that sign language is no different from body language, and many people who hold this belief overlook the fact that body language vary depending on region and culture. Therefore, in search of limitations of sign language in communicating by English-language based technical terms, this study will explore the ability of spoken language and sign language customers to express the problem through analyzing the electronics product put into two groups for after service and their disadvantages through communication duration with customer agents as well as success frequency of solving the problem in quantitative data.

The black women’s share in the US Congress in 2023 is low compared to the US Congress’ total number of members. Additionally, the realisation that this is occurring after more than half a century since 1969 when Shirley Chisholm was the first and only black Congresswoman to be elected, makes us reflect upon the possibility of any existing related phenomena. Moreover, nearly quarter of the African American women had a bachelor’s degree or higher in 2020, a matter that raises the need to try to connect the dots between the higher educational accomplishment of Black women and their political participation in the Congress from 1969 to the present. Therefore, this work is going to try to find out whether there is a correlation between the African American women’s higher educational attainment and their political participation in the US Congress from 1969 to the present.

Green landscapes in colleges and universities have important effects on the physiological and psychological indicators of college students. Based on virtual reality technology and environmental emotion perception measurement technology, the article constructs three biodiversity virtual reality landscape green areas and measures the changes of physiological indexes (brain waves) and psychological indexes (anxiety level) during 68 subjects’ experience of virtual reality scenes to investigate the effects of different biodiversity green areas landscape on human physiological and psychological indexes. The re-sults showed that: The biodiversity of the green space landscape had significant effects on physiological and psychological recovery, in which the high biodiversity environment had better recovery effects than the low biodiversity; however, students were more focused in the low biodiversity environment; the effects of the virtual green space landscape on physiological and psychological were consistent with the real environment.
