Abstract.The Americanization of Korean Drama is essentially a cultural transcoding project. When Ali in "Squid Game" kneels down, the camera deliberately captures the similarity between the prayer callus on his forehead and the Korean "sacred gesture" action - this visual translation allows the audience in the Islamic cultural circle to instantly understand the character's motivation. The cost of transformation is also clear: the "leisure aesthetics" of traditional Korean dramas is compressed into a 90-second quick cut in "Model Taxi". But it is worth noting that the seasonal broadcast structure …

Abstract.This paper applies Jürgen Habermas’s theory of the “public sphere” to examine whether the internet can serve as a modern public sphere. It first outlines the core features of Habermas’s concept—openness, freedom and independence, rational discourse, and reliance on mass media. The paper then analyzes how the internet, through its global reach, egalitarian access, anonymity, and immediacy, partially aligns with these characteristics and offers new possibilities for public communication beyond traditional media. However, significant limitations are also identified, including algorithm-driven …

Abstract.As social media becomes more and more popular, it has an increasing impact on the way people think. Many platforms recommend content based on criteria such as the number of likes and view time, a mechanism that makes emotional, one-sided and even misleading information more likely to be seen, while issues that are truly insightful and can help us think are instead buried. By reviewing data and analysing the policies of several countries (e.g., Germany, UK, EU, US, Singapore, China) and major platforms (e.g., Meta, YouTube, X, and TikTok), this study tries to figure out the causes of these …
