  This study aims to examine the mediating effect of political involvement variables on the impact of the presidential debate based upon the political psychology model ,We also set the two groups of students into comparison to explore the instinct influence between Taiwan and Mainland college students by considering the social and political context. It is found that the political knowledge, partisanship, and discussion play significant roles in mediating the effect of the presidential debate. In terms of the mainland group, political knowledge played the most significant part. Those who know less about Taiwan politics are more easily persuasive to the presidential debate. Meanwhile, political discussion and partisanship show their notable impacts on the Taiwan group. For the ones who are lack of political participation or political discussion, they are more easily affected to change their votes since they are more vulnerable to the debate.

In this paper, the authors try to analyze how porn culture, a symptom of the dominant ideology of today, evolves interactively with the political, economic and cultural transformations of China.

They become one of the important forces behind online collective actions of all sorts in contemporary China. At the same time, however, they are deeply immersed in the cybermyth of free ?ow of information, and discard the socialist tradition of gender equality in the process of taking control of cultural production and interpretations. When soft porn culture spreads alongside the new economy, “gender war” and other social consequences also call for more critical attention, and the Chinese society is in need of a new cultural politics to form new consensus
