Based on DeepSeek artificial intelligence technology driven career assessment as the background, this paper discusses the construction method and significance of career assessment enterprise customer mental model. Starting from the theoretical basis of mental model, this paper analyzes the cognitive, behavioral and emotional components of customer mental model and its role in career assessment service, and expounds the theoretical contribution of DeepSeek and other artificial intelligence technologies to the construction of mental model. Research shows that big data analysis based on artificial intelligence can describe the implicit psychological model of customers, enrich the theoretical tools for career decision support, and help realize the accuracy and individuation of career assessment services [2]. This study provides new ideas for the transformation of career assessment industry, reveals the theoretical significance of integrating customer mental model into career planning service to improve decision support effect, and looks forward to the future development direction of career assessment service driven by artificial intelligence.</p>2025-10-21T15:02:57+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Social Development Studieshttps://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/SDS/article/view/12420Building a Better Future - Promoting High Quality Development of International Mining Cooperation among SCO Countries2025-10-27T11:18:41+08:00Yicai Guteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is a permanent intergovernmental international organization established in Shanghai, China in 2001 by the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Tajikistan, and the Republic of Uzbekistan. As of now, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has 10 member states, 2 observer states, and 14 dialogue partners. The total area of member countries exceeds 37 million square kilometers, accounting for approximately 25% of the global land area; The total population in the region is nearly 3.6 billion, accounting for half of the world's population, and the total gross domestic product of the countries within the organization exceeds 23 trillion US dollars.</p> <p>The Shanghai Cooperation Organization has always maintained strong vitality and cooperation momentum, fundamentally because it creatively proposed and consistently practiced the "Shanghai Spirit", advocating mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations, and seeking common development. This goes beyond outdated concepts such as clash of civilizations, Cold War mentality, and zero sum games, opening a new page in the history of international relations and gaining increasingly widespread recognition from the international community.</p> <p>In the economic cooperation and exchanges among the member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, international mining operation cooperation is an important field. With the abundant mineral resources and deepening cooperation of the SCO countries, it has demonstrated enormous development potential. Under the cooperation framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, international mining operation cooperation is not only of great significance to the economic development of various countries, but also occupies an increasingly important position in the global mining landscape.</p>2025-10-21T15:20:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Social Development Studieshttps://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/SDS/article/view/12421Research on the Practical Paths of Comprehensive Rural Revitalization from the Perspective of the Sinicization and Modernization of Marxism2025-10-27T11:17:05+08:00Yunlong Zhuteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>Rural revitalization and common prosperity are crucial strategies in the new era, highly consistent with Marxist theories. Currently, rural revitalization faces challenges such as unbalanced urban-rural development and insufficient sustainable industrial capabilities. Prominent issues include unequal resource allocation, the “hollowing out” of rural areas, and industrial homogenization. To address these, guidance from Marxist systematic thinking is essential. This involves comprehensively promoting the “Five Revitalizations,” facilitating two-way flow of urban-rural elements, synergizing industrial integration with technological innovation to extend the agricultural industry chain, enhancing innovation in county-level government functions to optimize governance models, and refining top-level design using systematic thinking principles. Additionally, coordinated development of rural material and spiritual civilization can be achieved by improving talent policies and innovating cultural cultivation mechanisms, thus advancing balanced urban- rural development and realizing the goal of common prosperity.</p>2025-10-21T15:20:24+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Social Development Studieshttps://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/SDS/article/view/12423Research on the Intrinsic Logic and Path of News Dissemination in the Era of Intelligent Media2025-10-27T11:20:39+08:00Zhenzhen Wuteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>The advent of the intelligent media era has profoundly changed the landscape of news dissemination.

Based on the cultural dimension theory, this paper examined<strong> </strong>blended learning research trends in both South Korea and China, which are culturally similar but also<strong> </strong>differ. The research methods include keyword analysis and visualization. Academic papers on blended<strong> </strong>learning indexed by WoS, KISS, and CNKI from 1990 to June 2022 were collected and analyzed.According to the findings, since the outbreak of COVID-19, the common research topic of blended<strong> </strong>learning has been subdivided by forming clusters in various research fields. Korea and China exhibit<strong> </strong>similarities to global research trends while exhibiting differences based on cultural background. The<strong> </strong>cultural dimension theory-based analysis reveals a common pattern that is especially long-term<strong> </strong>oriented. The findings can suggest significant implications for designing what role national culture plays<strong> </strong>in forming patterns of education and research and for developing blended learning with effective<strong> </strong>impacts in a multicultural educational environment.</p>2025-10-30T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Social Development Studieshttps://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/SDS/article/view/12531The Possibility of Social-cultural Creativity Education: A Case Study of “Imaginative Innovator” at H University2025-10-30T17:37:42+08:00Jee-Young Leeteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>As the fourth industrial revolution accelerates, universities have made great efforts to develop and reform creative convergence courses for improving the students’ creative convergence capabilities. Although various subjects such as “Capstone” and “Design Thinking” to the improvement of students' creative convergence competences, many courses focus on creativity education in the direction of creating new products or outputs such as engineering, design, and art, so there is still a lack of systematic education and subjects on creative convergence capabilities from a humanities and sociological perspective. In order to overcome their limitations of creative courses, “H” University developed a 'Imaginative Innovators' class with the purpose of solving creative problems on social issues related to sciences, culture, politics, economics, and so on. In this study, we introduced the purpose, methodology, students’ best practices etc. of the “Imaginative innovator” course. In addition, we discussed the limitations and complements as well as the advantages and possibilities of the course. These findings are expected to contribute to the development and expansion of creativity education.</p>2025-10-30T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Social Development Studies
