목적: 안경의 기능이 점차 문화적, 심리적, 사회학적 측면으로 확대 되는 점에 주목하고, 그러한 요구에 맞는 디자인을 위해 전통문양을 접목하는 방법 연구. 방법: 전통문양의 상징성을 이해하고, 그 중에서 세계적인 보편성을 지닌 팔메트 문양 넝쿨장식문양 등의 문양연구와 전통재료기법의 하나인 자수기법, 조각보 기법 등을 안경의 템플과 안경 클리너 등에 현대적으로 재구성하여 응용하는 방법을 제시하였다. 결과: 세계화는 문화의 교차적 소비현상을 빠르게 촉진시키고 있다. 그러므로 세계적인 보편성위에 그 민족의 미적 특질이 잘 드러난 전통문양을 활용한 안경디자인은 오히려 세계 시장의 이러한 속성에 적응하여 성장할 수 있는 새로운 자원이 된다. 이 논문에서는 전통문양 및 전통기법을 활용하여 현대화함으로써 안경 디자인의 문화적 가치를 발견하고, 현대 소비자의 문화적 욕구와 접목할 수 있는 새로운 시각을 제안하였다. 결론: 안경은 소비자의 사회적 지위를 표상하고, 현재의 심리적 언어로써 하나의 스타일을 표현해내는 도구가 되었다. 그러므로 전통문양을 활용한 안경디자인은 소비자의 문화적 소비욕구를 충족시켜주는 계기를 마련해주며, 기존의 안경디자인이 지니고 있는 서구 문화중심의 디자인 개념을 동양적인 미감으로 전환시키는 계기를 마련한다.

Based on case studies from Japan and South Korea, this review paper explores the hidden costs of English language learning (ELL). In a context where English has become a commodity and ELL a form of consumption, we focus on the personal and social costs of (a) studying abroad as a much-touted path to "native-like" proficiency and (b) sexualization of language teaching materials in order to reach new niche markets. The hidden costs of ELL are embedded in language ideologies which set English up as a magical means of self-transformation and, at the same time, an unattainable goal for most Japanese and Koreans. We end with the call to expose debilitating language ideologies in order to shed light on the hidden costs of ELL.

The purpose of this study was to analyze social, economic and cultural phenomena of the luxury brand in the viewpoint that the consumption system of the modern society stood for the sign consumption and the industrial production of difference as Baudrillard mentioned in the Consumer Society. The result was divided into the two subjects popularization and differentiation of luxury brand. Firstly the meaning of luxury brand was that the personal effects of consumption of king or aristocratic class who did not exist in the modern and were made into the selection and consumption-possible things of exchange value. The popularization of this sign was accelerated through TV drama. Secondly as differentiation strategy of luxury brand, was made by giving meaning to the life style concept of the upper class with advertisement and design, and also the logo of design was used as sign differentiated from people. Also the reason why the producer of the luxury brand gave meaning to such life style was that the awareness of the brand which people have consistently makes them consume more products. The consumption system of the modern society stood for the sign consumption, difference sign mark value which was the desire on a social meaning basis, not the consumption of things as used value. And the consumer could express his personality by selecting and consuming the product of luxury brand model made with this sign. Accordingly the distribution, purchase, sales and acquisition of the things with this difference sign were our verbal activity and linguistic code today, and it was the essential feature of the society, culture and economy of the consumer society.

Modernity is commonly defined as a reflection of the features of modern society based on the historical experience of the West. As such, modernity includes involvement with political, economic, and social changes, a changing world-view, and changing trends in equality, gender roles, a desire for "the new," consumption, distribution based on mass production, and rational reform in fashion and dress. First and foremost, however, modernity in costume has been driven by the functional requirements of industrial capitalism. But while modernity has popularly been regarded as some sort of universal standard, in fact the West and the other societies have vastly different, unique, and particular experiences with their own respective histories of modernization. For this reason, cultural changes in the modernization process should be-indeed, must be-analyzed in the context of a country's own unique historical and cultural circumstances, rather than through the prism or strict adaptation of generalized Western concepts of modernization. Moreover, a "periodization" of the modernization of fashion and dress can be established by examining the characteristics of modernity in costume.

This study analyzes the motives of Korean women for choosing breast augmentation in a cultural and relational context; in addition, it investigates their evaluations after surgery. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with 10 Korean women in their 20s and 30s who have received cosmetic breast augmentation. Enlarged and made-up breasts are a form of clothing that symbolizes the socio-economic status of women. In the vertical and individualized Korean society, the desire of women for a fashionable body invigorated the appearance management market. Fashion consumers have passively internalized the ideal body trends as the concept of the ideal body-image, which has been constructed by the social structure, markets, and the media. The analysis was rooted in post-modern feminist perspectives on the female body. The ideal body-image internalization process through the social interactions of participants was the main cultural factor to choose breast surgery. The self-image and conformity/individuality of participant were categorized as relational factors for the motivation to undergo breast surgery. The result showed that after surgery the participants achieved positive feedback from their social relationships. They expressed or hid their socio-economic statuses through their purchased fashion bodies. They also showed higher self-esteem and feelings of satisfaction by pursuing individuality and conformity as a member of society. Moreover, they achieved wider fashion options and greater controls over their public/private/secret clothing choices for certain occasions. Cosmetic breast surgery positively empowered individual women while reinforcing the socially manipulated body ideals that oppress women at the same time. Participants internalized socially constructed values and justified their surgery choices.

고령에 대한 개념은 학자와 법령 등에 따라 다양하게 정의되고 있으나, 본 연구의 특성상 소비지출이 소득과 관련이 깊으므로, 고령자고용촉진법에서 기준으로 하고 있는 55세를 고령자의 기준연령으로 설정하였으며, 고령자 가구는 고령자 1인가구와 고령자부부가족만으로 제한하여 연구를 진행하였다. 소비특성은 욕구의 반영이라는 표출된 욕구로 파악될 수 있어 사회복지 측면에서도 의미 있는 분석 대상이라 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구는 고령자 가구의 소비형태를 유형화해서 소비특성을 파악하고, 소비패턴을 결정하는 요인을 찾아 고령자 가구의 표출된 욕구를 통해 관련 정책 수립에 기여하고자 하였다. 조사대상인 고령자 가구 소비 패턴의 내재적 구조 유형을 살펴보기 위해 고령자 가구의 소비지출 항목을 투입하여 군집분석(Cluster analysis)의 K-means법을 실시하였으며, 결과 4개의 군으로 유형화 되어 각각 '보건의료 중심형', '저축 중심형', '생계 중심형', '식비 중심형'으로 명칭을 부여하였다. 고령자 가구의 소비패턴 결정에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하기 위하여 이항로지스틱 분석을 사용하였다. 연구결과 고령자 가구는 서로 다른 욕구와 문제에 직면해 있으며, 이를 해결하기 위한 접근방법도 다양해야 할 필요성이 있었다. 특히 지금까지 노인하면 경제적 빈곤자로 인식되어 왔으나, 연구에서는 저축을 통해 준비된 가구들도 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 전반적으로 생계 중심형이 가장 많았으며, 이에 영향을 주는 요인으로 혼인여부와 가계소득이 중요한 역할을 하고 있었다. 따라서 고령자 가구의 소득확대에 대한 노력이 필요함을 시사하고 있다. 또한 연령, 주택소유, 주관적 건강상태 등도 유의미한 영향력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 결론 부분에서는 보건의식에 대한 고령자 스스로의 인식 개선, 노년기의 건강 상태에 대한 표준화된 기준 제시, 고령자의 문화생활에 대한 접근성 확보, 삶의 질을 높이기 위한 재정관리 코디, 고령자에게 맞는 일자리 개발과 보급, 협동주거형태인 공동생활가정 보급 등을 제도적 과제로 제언하였다.
