Globally, human beings are ushering in a new digital era. The digital economy is comprehensively and profoundly affecting human production and life with unprecedented speed and strength. As a major scene of trade and consumption, the international exhibition industry is experiencing a round of unprecedented digitalization. This paper discusses the digital transformation path of exhibition user growth model, proposes an innovative model of exhibition user growth based on the characteristics of the digital era, and adopts empirical research methods and digital exhibition tools to carry out a preliminary validation of its adaptability and application scenarios, which preliminarily solves the three major pain points in user growth, broadens the idea of user growth, and proves the validity of the innovative model and the bright application prospect.

The current era in the history of humanity has been dotted with increasingly moral degeneration and brutal secularization. The value of life has encountered lots of challenges with this increasing technological preference and secularization from the same harbingers of life. Hence, the dignity of human life is one of the epochal negligence that springs from this secularization. Euthanasia has in its light become one of the outlets for perpetuating this unhealthy development. This concept “euthanasia” has continued to capture the minds of scholars in ethics, medicine and religion; attracting arguments and counter arguments in a bid to give an objective analysis. All struggles tend to create a marriage between the different opposing views of this concept. While some scholars have optimistic view of this, many others have continued to decry the mayhem and evil laden in this act and its socio-religious influences it has continued to attract. This work aims at synthesizing the opinions of various scholars in this regard and the need to disabuse our mindset on the tag “mercy killing” to decode the euphemism in the euthanasia.

During the twentieth century (1932-1972), white physicians representing the United States government conducted a human experiment known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study on black syphilis patients in Macon County, Alabama. The creators of the study, who supported the idea of black inferiority and the concept that black people’s bodies functioned differently from white people’s, observed the effects of a disease called syphilis on untreated black patients in order to collect data for further research on syphilis. Black individuals involved with the study believed that they were receiving treatment, although in truth, treatments for syphilis were purposely held back from them. Not only this, but fluids from their bodies, such as blood and spinal fluid, were extracted to serve as research material without their awareness of the purpose of the collection. The physicians justified their approach by positioning it as mere observation, asserting that they were not actively intervening with the patients participating in the experiment. However, despite their claims of passivity, these white physicians engaged in various morally improper actions, including deceit, which ultimately resulted in the deaths of numerous black patients who might have had a chance at survival.

This study aims to explore the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese folk art, taking Wuqiang New Year paintings as an example for in-depth research. By refining the inheritance genes of Wuqiang New Year paintings and combining them with modern design concepts, we explore how to give them new innovative genes. Adopting the theoretical framework of genealogy, we systematically analyze the familial development lineage of Wuqiang New Year Paintings, establish the framework of the DNA model of Wuqiang New Year Paintings, and propose a feature classification method based on the model. The results show that for the inheritance and development of traditional culture and art, it is crucial to combine modern design concepts and give them new innovative genes. This study not only helps to improve the survival and development ability of Wuqiang New Year paintings in contemporary society, but also can provide reference and inspiration for the protection and inheritance of other similar traditional cultural arts.
