With fierce competition under the epidemic, the American multinational fast-food company McDonald's must attract the attention and satisfaction of a wide range of customers through consumer stimulation. Since high substitution products make the industry highly competitive, high frequency differentiation strategy is needed to meet the freshness of consumers. McDonald's, one of the world's most well-known fast-food brands, has also made enormous changes in the process of entering China. Because local culture and in-depth communication are the embodiment of brand value and the integration of localization, this paper analyzes McDonald's cultural strategies in four areas: product, marketing, people management and production, and provides some suggestions for sustainable development. Cultural exchange is used and respected in all these important aspects, which is a big reason for shaping the uniqueness of different regional brands. Overall, McDonald's has done a successful job in product development and localization in China, which is an exemplary case among fast food brands and can bring many suggestions and implications to other familiar brands.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131440655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Price changes in oil affect every aspect of the economic sphere of each country. The three oil crises in history have become major factors in the world oil market prices. Compared with the other two oil crises, the second oil crisis in 1970 was due to the interruption of Iranian oil exports. The market set psychological expectations for the unsteady oil supply, which led to a surge in oil prices. The study of the second oil crisis is of great significance to Asian countries because Asia, as a region of rapid economic development, has an outstanding internal conflict between oil supply and demand, and the causes of the second oil crisis and its impact on the development of Asian countries are also a major concern for countries around the world. This paper examines the characteristics, causes, and manifestations of the second oil crisis from the perspective of industrial policy through case comparison and other methods. Then, this paper finds that the motivations of the second oil crisis are mainly the decline in oil production capacity caused by the Islamic Revolution and countries' oil reserve plans, which exacerbated the oil crisis. The economic impact of the second oil crisis on developing countries in Asia is mainly reflected in the asymmetry of supply and demand, squeezing domestic economic construction funds, and causing a national debt crisis in oil-poor countries in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134309883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Menstrual shame is not only a physiological phenomenon, but also a social phenomenon with social connotations. This article summarises the menstrual shame that women experience in everyday life, and describes the direct and indirect negative effects of menstrual shame on women in terms of their physiology and psychology, work and study, as well as the negative effects of menstrual shame on society. The paper also examines the causes of menstrual shame, ranging from historical misconceptions to the lack of sex education and inappropriate media content due to the shame of “sex” in modern society. The lack of proper knowledge about menstruation can make it easier for people's attitudes towards menstruation to be influenced by societal attitudes. This paper also seeks to propose countermeasures: to popularise the physiological significance of menstruation through sex education and to guide positive attitudes towards menstruation through a proper understanding of menstruation. The paper also attempts to strengthen the regulation of menstruation-related content and to encourage talk about menstruation in public places.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132540276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In sociological research focusing on the autism spectrum community, even though landing on the same topic as they might be, the research questions of different authors are often diverse, fragmented, and disparate, and the relatively heterogeneous nature of both the research methods and the disciplinary contexts in which the research is rooted adds to the complexity of the situation faced by researchers wishing to provide an overview of the field. This paper attempts to provide a brief overview of the current state of research on the autism community by topic. The reviewed articles on autism communities are selected by keyword search and related literature search, and then organized and summarized in terms of research contents, research methods and reference values. The existing research on autism communities are arranged in terms of their coverage and database characteristics, in hope that doing so would point out possible future directions for researchers.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134296780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, compared with their contributions, gig workers face the problems of low level of equity resources and well-being. Based on the theory of resource caravan passageways, this study explores the effect of enterprise-union coupling relationship (EUCR) on work well-being of gig workers from two resource paths: basic labor rights and developmental labor rights. The results show that enterprise-union coupling relationship positively affects work well-being. On the one hand, EUCR enriches the basic equity resources such as labor safety, labor time, labor remuneration standards by promoting basic labor rights, and improves work well-being of gig workers. On the other hand, EUCR enriches the developmental equity resources such as the professional ability development, employee participation, and work autonomy by promoting developmental labor rights, and improves work well-being of gig workers.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131771802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the female body becomes an important site of discipline for women, through dress and grooming. This study attempts to elucidate how women’s physical discipline and physical liberation occur by masculine dress. Starting from symbolic violence, the study elaborates on the regulation of women’s bodies by masculine clothing in terms of both capitalism and gender; it also explains how women can liberate themselves through dressing masculine by rebelling against traditional images, breaking the consistency of biological gender and social gender, and escaping the domination of the male gaze. Therefore, when women have a more thorough understanding of dressing itself, they can better perceive their position and its complexity, and promote women’s liberation through individual practice.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133484613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From 1980s to 1990s, liberalization, marketization, globalization and Neoliberalism had become the world main trends of economic development.

This paper discussed what process and impact (pros and cons) included in Rao’s reform by using the approach of literature reading. The paper got a significant conclusion that Rao’s new policies provided an effective path for Indian development, broke the traditional closed economic model by changing the structure of enterprise ownership and other scientific approaches. Finally, helped India open the door of Neoliberalism.

However, in order to obtain greater benefits in the Chinese market, some multinational corporations choose to seek illegitimate commercial interests through bribery. The increasing corruption cases of transnational corporations have bad influences on China's economic development, business environment and international reputation. However, there are still many deficiencies in China's legal system to regulate the corruption of transnational corporations. This paper will study the legislation on transnational corporations’ corruption in China, and put forward more effective suggestions for China to regulate the corruption of transnational corporations in legislation. This paper will analyze the current anti-corruption legal system against transnational corporations in China and other countries, and use the method of comparison and case study to find deficiencies in Chinese laws. Through the analysis, it is concluded that China should formulate a special Anti-commercial Bribery Law in order to improve the legislation in relevant fields.","PeriodicalId":380947,"journal":{"name":"BCP Social Sciences & Humanities","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116894665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
