This study investigated differences in perception by 240 males in their teens, 20s, 30s, and 40s residing in Seoul, Incheon, and Gwangju about seven items for male makeup, and analyzed makeup items preferred by men, perception about male makeup users, and relationship between success and appearance, thereby providing basic materials to activate the beauty market for males and developing goods for male users. The result was that most males thought the influence of their appearance on their social success was great and in particular, 23.3% of respondents thought that their appearance affected their success by 50% or higher percentage. The items most preferred by the respondents were concealers, color lotions, and BB creams; 60.8% considered them positive. This showed that basic color cosmetics had already been established as one of the essential goods for men. In contrast, the respondents had slightly negative perception about items like mascaras, eyeliners, and eyeshadows. Overall, those who were young, unmarried, and city dwellers had positive perception about such cosmetics by and large. The above data will be able to be used to develop various makeup goods for male consumers oriented toward success and implement diverse marketing strategies, thereby activating the beauty market for males.

This paper aims to show that Sylvia Plath searched for the female poetic voice, by tracing the aspects of her early poems. This study attempts to demonstrate that Plath disclosed the violence of male-centered literary tradition against women poets although her early poems seem to be written from a male point of view. In her poems, "Snakecharmer", "Full Fathom Five", and "The Colossus", it is particularly found that Plath hoped to be empowered with the poet's voice, which nevertheless resulted almost in silence or babbling. Plath, indeed, devised a strategy in order to show that, for women poets, the patriarchal literary tradition is a destructive power rather than a generative one. Namely, women poets are not able to fully grow out of a male-oriented tradition. On that account, she tried to represent in her early poems herself who sought to be empowered with an authoritative voice, invoking the male muse, but this ended in failure. Plath was skeptical about the way she had desired to find her own voice by relying upon the male muse, and she needed to free herself from that literary tradition.

남성은 왜 존재하며 과연 필요한 것인가? 남성은 여성에 비해 거칠고 온갖 골칫거리의 원인을 제공하나 종의 존속을 위해 필요한 것이라고 하지만 이 세상에는 처녀생식을 하는 종들도 많다. 칠면조는 수정하지 않은 알에서 부화하여 발육시킬 수 있으며 채찍꼬리 도마뱀은 모두 암컷이다. 또 델로이드윤층과 같은 일부 미생물중에는 4천만년동안 성없이도 살아왔고 민들레와 같이 전혀 무성인 식물도 있다. 수수께끼같은 남성의 세계를 알아본다.

과거 담배가 남성의 전유물로 여겨지던 시절에는 여성의 흡연율이 전반적으로 대단히 낮았다. 그러나 담배로 인한 폐해가 늘어나고, 담배의 해로움에 대한 연구결과들이 보고되면서 남성의 흡연율은 선진국을 시작으로 감소추세에 있지만, 여성의 흡연율은 세계적으로 급속한 증가추세에 있다. 유교 문화권에 속해 있는 우리나라의 경우, 여성 흡연율이 아직 그렇게 높은 편은 아니지만, 1990년대에 들어서면서 젊은 여성으로부터 급속하게 증가하고 있기 때문에 이에 대해서 심각한 고민과 적극적인 금연운동이 필요한 상황이다. 여성은 같은 양의 담배를 피워도 남성보다 건강상의 피해를 보는 정도가 더 심하다는 연구 결과 들이 많다. 여기에 덧붙여서 최근의 연구 또한 흡연하는 여성이 담배를 끊으려고 할 때 남성보다 더 끊기 어렵다고 보고하고 있다. 금연이라는 것이 원래 쉬운 것은 아니지만, 여성에게 특히 더 어려운 이유가 무엇일까?

사람의 외모를 나타내는 요소 중 하나인 모발은 그 사람의 새로운 이미지를 연출하기도 하고, 자신만의 개성과 자신감이 창출하기도 한다. 이런 측면에서 대머리 남성들은 대머리가 아닌 남성들에 비해 자신의 외모에 대한 자신감이 많이 결여되어 있을 뿐 아니라 심리적 측면에서도 심각한 영향을 준다. 탈모가 이들 남성에게 심각한 스트레스를 주는 이유는 머리숱이 적은 대머리 남성이 호감을 덜 주며, 10년은 더 늙어 보이기 때문이라고 한다. 모발은 사람의 첫인상을 결정짓는 중요한 요소라 보면 탈모증 환자들은 탈모로 인하여 자신의 신체상:Body Image)에 부정적이거나 만족하지 못하게 된다. 탈모 경험이 없는 사람들은 절대로 알지 못하는 그들만의 고민을 경희대병원에서 탈모환자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 벌였다.

The problems of unemployment have been recognized as male problems even though the female unemployment problems are as significant as those of men since IMF. The women who have experienced insecure employment and lower wage than men in the labor market are having more serious economic difficulties after being unemployed. Especially economic problems of the unemployed female headed families are anticipated to be tremendous because the female heads do not have spouses who can act as a buffer seeking or beginning to work to reduce economic hardship. The purpose of this paper is to compare living conditions and utilization of the unemployment programs between male and female heads of the family who are unemployed and discouraged workers. It will examine the functionalism, human capital theory, and feminist perspectives on the cause of female unemployment in order to help understanding of their living situations after being unemployed. Then, it will compare the socio-demographic characteristics, their economic activities before being unemployed, their living conditions and changes in family life after being unemployed, their efforts to overcome unemployment and utilization of various government unemployment programs. It used the national data of National Unemployment Survey of Korean Institute of Health and Social Affairs conducted in 1998 and analyzed 283 female and 1,528 male family heads who are unemployed and discouraged workers. It reveals that the female family heads experienced lower economic status in the labor market before being unemployed, are having more serious economic hardship because of it, utilize more of the government programs such as public work and public assistance than the male family heads but less of the public loans for the unemployed. It recommends expansion of public work and public assistance, more vigorous advertisement of various unemployment programs, and active training of job creation technique for female family heads.

This is the study on the preference of men's jewelry in Korea and China. It started to change and develop the market of modern men's jewelry, which is increasingly growing. The men's jewelry market, in Korea, has developed as small market as part of women's, and since 2006, it has started to grow as men's jewelry. However, it is still treated only by some brands. It is a time when innovation is needed because design diversity is weak. The men's jewelry market in China is rapidly developing under the influence of young emerging rich people. However, as in Korea, a research on the design of men's jewelry is insufficient, so it is urgent to study the preference for men's jewelry. Each survey was conducted on a the tie-pin and cufflinks as the most representative men's jewelry in Korea and China. As a result, both countries were not satisfied with the designs currently being sold. In Korea, the popularity of the tie-pin and the cufflinks is made to some extent, and customizing to consumer and innovative development are required. And, in China, the popularity of the tie-pin and the cufflinks made it possible to expect the growth of the men's jewelry market.

It has been a major agenda in criticism that there have been a dominant tendency of male-centered narratives in Korean mainstream films after . These kinds of narratives could be accept as a result of searching process in virtual realm for understanding the social changes. I suggest $H.Lef\acute{e}bvre's$ very familiar concept 'quotidienne', which influences the conditions to constitute male-identity as a fundamental base of male-centered narratives, to analyze and . It seems meaningful these texts tried to reconstitute male-identity through distinguish potential energy of 'quotidienne' from repressive everyday-life. The result of analysis has lied two ambivalent dimensions, nevertheless, it would be required further studies to argue on male-centered narratives and discourses of male-identity as which results could represent interactions between various social contradictions.

The purpose of this study was to construct and test a structural equation model of subjective quality of life in middle-aged men. The participants were 493 middle-aged men. Data were collected from September 10 to October 31, 2011. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 and AMOS 19.0. Self-esteem, social support, family communication showed direct and indirect effect on subjective quality of life for middle-aged married men, and job satisfaction showed a direct effect on subjective quality of life. The structural regression model of middle-aged men's subjective quality of life was a good fit with the model. These results indicate that it is necessary to design intervention programs to increase self-esteem, social support, family communication and job satisfaction in order to increase middle-aged men's subjective quality of life.
