Genetics and evolution of Khmer characters

The Khmer characters contain the lives of Cambodians from the Indian culture that originated them to the injuries caused by the genocide of the Khmer Rouge. What changes do Khmer texts have in the future? We will become anthropologists for a while and follow the evolutionary state of the Khmer characters.

How did the sentence "If someone hits the right, then hold out your left cheek” come out?

The human beings have more abundant communication tools such as 'spoken language', 'letter', and 'body language' than animals. So does that mean humans enjoy more perfect communication than animals? In many cases, humans lie in spoken language, in text, and in body language. On the other hand, animals only with a poor spoken language and a body language, without letters, communicate more clearly and perfectly than humans do. Humans need to become more sensitive to the body language, and their words and writings must be reduced. In the meantime, they should look for 'the fourth language' if they can.

물신세계에서의 문자
What does the comedy that ‘the most dangerous philosopher’ who claims the 21st century communism becomes the biggest beneficiary of the system say to us? After Stalinism, the flow of the New Left and the postalism that swept the West made Marxism more intellectual and cultural, but the revolutionary power has been erased. In other words, the flow was a renewal of liberalism but known as a renewal of Marxism. Can true characters for progress and justice transcend the reality of being ‘pets’ in the renewed liberalism?
