The media culture influences upon young people while introducing new cultures by every hour. Considering the mainstream culture, in which media has the greatest effect on young people, this article examines the symbolic significances of youth fashion through media culture. The results of this study can be summarized as the following: First, young people's popular culture ("pop culture") is becoming the medium that leads to the creation of similar cultures of the young people globally through various routes.

Third, youth fashion, which has been formed centering on media culture, has the flexible property that varies the symbolic significance according to which culture becomes the main axis.

빠르게 변화하는 것은 기술 발전만이 아니다. 언어도 세대별 계층별로 다양한 공감대를 형성하며 급속으로 만들어지고 확산되어 간다. 그러므로 신어는 시기마다 생성되는 문화사의 한 부분으로서 이해할 필요성이 있다. 신어는 언어공동체의 공인 속에서 재미와 편리함, 친밀감 이상의 대체 불가능성을 지니고 있어 규범 언어에서 그 사용을 자제하도록 한다 해도 그 파급 속도를 막을 수가 없다. 그것이 얼마나 오래 살아남을 것이냐는 중요한 문제가 아니다. 언어를 중심으로 작은 공동체가 만들어지고 기존 공동체를 파편화시켜 보이지 않는 벽을 세우는 것이 신어 향유자들에게는 오히려 흥미로운 언어 생활로 여겨지기 때문이다. 우리는 이 논문에서 한 글자를 두 가지 또는 그 이상으로 읽거나 거기에 담긴 다의적인 연상을 의도적으로 오독하는 시각적 유희, 즉 문자 유희를 중심으로 신어를 연구한다. 신어의 특성은 간섭 받기 싫어하고, 기존의 질서에 기발함을 더하는 것을 즐기는 젊은 세대의 성향이 만들어낸 결과물이다. 그렇기 때문에 어느 시대에나 신어는 만들어졌고, 형태는 다르지만 신어 생성의 원리는 오래된 방식이다. 우리는 이 논문에서 신어 생성의 역사적 특성에 대해서도 고찰할 것이다.

Although many adherents openly praise the importance of quality management practices (QMP) in organisations, others have identified significant costs and implementation obstacles. Some recent studies showed that QMP have failed due to the ignorance of quality cultures. How to improve the success rate of QMP in organisations has become a critical issue both in the academy and in practice. This paper discusses the common enablers of and cultural impacts on QMP. It explores the dimensions of national versus organisational culture, and identifies the main features of four quality culture models as advocated in the literature in relation to facilitating QMP in organisations. It was found that flat structures, decentralised functions, empowerment, flexibility, innovation, limited rules and regulations and teamwork favor the QMP implementation. For facilitating culture changes for QMP, values associated with low power distance, low uncertainty avoidance and collectivism would have to be nurtured. Further research is needed to incorporate the findings and develop a practical quality culture approach for real applications in industry.

This research aims to analyze humorous images expressed in 2D graphics fashion illustrations and to propose application of 2D graphics in humorous images for fashion illustrations to suggest a more creative and relevant fashion illustration for contemporary culture. The result of this research were as follows: First, theories on reaction of humor can be classified into Incongruity theory, Superiority theory and Arousal and Relief theory. Humor in visual arts are classified in Visual Parody, Visual Pun, Visual Paradox and Visual Satire. Second, Visual Pun, Visual Parody, and Visual Satire are used for visualizing fashion illustration, and the foundations for many humor images were simple-colored, imaginative, and unreal settings. And it was also found out that the physical proportion of the models generally was 1(head):7(entire body), 1:8, 1:15 and the models were usually laughing and smiling. Tone was usually pastel and vivid, and posture was usually standing-position or sitting-position. Third, based on such results, fashion illustration works of humor image using 2D graphics were created. To concretize the humor image, 'gift' as a concept was chosen. Humor alleviates the tension and stress. It also brings laughter and pleasure to people's lives. Therefore humor image will be an effective way of expanding creativity in modern fashion illustration.
