‘It's The Catcher in the Rye… He said it was the kind of book you made your own': Finding Holden in Contemporary YA Literature

Published in 1951,The Catcher in the Rye encapsulated teenage angst. Some time ago David Belbin mused about the influence of Catcher on the proliferation and popularity of YA literature. Salinger's recent death has sparked a renewed interest in his work and more attention on Holden and his inheritors. This article discusses how five recent adolescent novels, with male protagonists, mirror Holden's adolescent paralysis. They exist in a liminal state between childhood and adulthood, attempting to understand the phonies around them. These protagonists help define the nature of the ‘lost’ adolescent in the current golden age of YA literature.

浅析当前我国经济体制下如何增加居民收入

党的十七届五中全会,审议通过了《中共中央关于制定国民经济和社会发展第十二个五年规划的建议》。《建议》明确提出,要保障和改善民生,促进社会公平正义。这是十分正确的,也是十分必要的。文章将从以下几个方面进行简单的阐述:一、我国经济持续快速增长,但是,我国居民的个人收入却没有跟上经济的增长,以至于出现了"国进民退"、"国富民弱"的矛盾;二、我国要实现由投资、出口拉动型向消费型经济增长方式转变,增加居民收入是必然要求;三、如何使人民群众从经济增长中受益。

Gender-preferential intergenerational patterns in primary educational attainment: An econometric approach to a case in rural Mindanao,the Philippines

This study investigates the factors determining children's educational attainment, focusing on gender-differential intergenerational patterns, by employing a case study from rural Mindanao. The result mainly shows, unlike general trends in developing countries, educational attainment is more favorable for girls; maternal education level is equally associated with daughters’ and sons’ education levels, and paternal education level is preferentially favorable to their sons. To reduce the disparity, suggestions include providing boy-specific interventions to enhance the magnitude of the father–son educational virtuous circle and comparing the magnitude of gender-equal maternal and boy-preferential paternal education influences to specify which effect is larger.
