The purpose of this study is to investigate the purchase behavior, response, and complaining behavior for discounting claims in clothing products. The subjects are composed of 360 female consumers. Data were collected through questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was used for analysis of this study. The findings of this study were as follows: First, female consumer used department store for buying discount apparel products the most. The percentage of buying casual or sports wear for discounting was the most. Most consumers purchased clothing products when discounting at 20-40 percentages. Second, even if, consumers tended to distrust discounting claims, they were satisfied with discount apparel products. Especially, they were satisfied with price, design, color, and size, while they were dissatisfied with sewing and fabric in discount products. Third, most consumer knew the knowledge of consumer rights, but most dissatisfied consumers did not assert positive consumer's right. Therefore, marketer should increase the accessibility of their complaint receiving mechanism for dissatisfied consumers in retail environment.

Genetically modified foods may be defined as the foods deemed as safe by current technology among the many kinds of agricultural and stockbreeding products that are now under research and development using contemporary gene-modification techniques. This study examines hotly debated arguments, both for and against genetically modified- foods, in various countries. This study also investigates consumers'rights and responsibilities. Countries that are developing and exporting genetically modified organisms(GMO) have maintained that GMO can help produce more crops while reducing labor and other production-related costs, and that the genetically modified foods signify ″the second green revolution,″ which will solve future food and environmental problems by strengthening specific nutritive substances and extending shelf-life. But consumer groups, environmental organizations. and food-importing countries are more cautious about importing and consuming those foods because the potential dangers of GMO to human bodies and the environment have not been tested thoroughly yet. South Korea, following suit with others such as EU, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, introduced a law on 'Labeling of Genetically Modified Foods', which went in effect in March, 2001, on the basis of customers'rights to make informed choices. The law takes the ″precautionary principle″ into consideration, rather than stopping at insuring ″substantial equivalence″ in developing and consuming GM foods. The actual impact of the law will depend on the level of citizens'Participation more than on the government's willingness to carry out the law. So far the level of Korean consumers'consciousness about genetically modified foods is very low. Therefore, it is hard to expect consumers to exercise their ″rights not to buy″ foods that are potentially unsafe. The Korean government must devise an effective plan to inform and educate the people about the labeling of genetically modified foods.

Objectives: This study aims to identify gaps between knowledge regarding migration and the spread of HIV/AIDS, to improve understanding of migrants with HIV/AIDS and their human rights, and to make suggestions for Korean policy makers to reform laws and policies towards granting migrants with HIV/AIDS more human rights and access to treatment and care. Methods: This study is based on an extensive literature review, questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews from randomly selected 8 countries from 5 different continents: Japan from Asia; Australia from Oceania; Finland, Germany, Ireland and United Kingdom(UK) from Europe; and Canada and United States of America(USA) in North America. Results: This study has found that Korea has a discriminating policy regarding HIV/AIDS and foreigners. Classifying HIV/AIDS into a legal communicable disease, it requires a presentation of HIV/AIDS test results from foreigners wanting a long-term stay before entering. In principle, foreigners with HIV/AIDS cannot either enter or stay in Korea. If they are known infected with HIV/AIDS by any reason, they became to face an immediate deportation regardless of their sojourn statuses and purposes. Conclusion: With the results, this study suggests three reasons why Korean government needs to change the current HIV/AIDS policy on foreigners: 1) HIV-related travel restrictions have no public health justification, 2) its strict HIV/AIDS policy on foreigners could result in restriction on the mobility and migration of its people by the other countries, inversely, and 3) it needs to meet international guidelines and to observe conventions that international organizations suggest to maintain its status as a member of the international society.

이주여성의 증가는 한국사회에 많은 영향을 미치고 있지만, 적절한 사회프로그램이 제공되지 못하고 있는 상황이다. 최근 이주여성은 사회적 약자의 위치에서 벗어나 자신의 문화를 지키고 스스로의 역량을 강화해 나가는 새로운 집단으로 부각되고 있다. 따라서 디아스포라의 함의를 포함하여 문화절충과 소수집단의 역량을 강화하는 측면에서 장기적이면서 비차별적인 사회프로그램의 개발이 시급한 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 이주의 역사가 오래된 EU의 이주여성을 위한 사회프로그램을 분석하여 앞으로의 사회프로그램개발에 기여하고자 하였다. EU자료분석은 인터넷자료와 EU Commission의 공식자료를 주로 분석하여 표로 재구성하였다. EU 사회프로그램의 특징은 비차별, 완전 고용, 인권과 시민권을 기반으로 구성되었다는 것이고, 사회적배제의 차원이 아니라 사회포용정책의 일환으로 제공되고 있다. 단기간의 전시성 프로그램이 아니라 장기적으로 완전고용을 통한 시민권 보장을 위한 프로그램이 준비되는 것이 사회통합차원에서 필요할 것이다.

보편적 서비스에 정당성을 부여하는 철학적 근거에 대해 한.미간 비교연구를 진행한 결과 그동안 우리나라에서는 보편적 서비스를 인간의 기본권 보장이라는 관점에서 이해하고 이를 바탕으로 보편적 서비스를 구현하고자 하는 노력이 부족했으며 보편적 서비스를 추진했던 동기 및 배경에는 주로 경제적 요인이 있었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만, 오늘날에도 보편적 서비스에 대해 기존의 접근방식을 그대로 유지하는 것은 긍정적인 효과보다는 오히려 부작용이 더 클 수 있다는 우려의 목소리가 높다. 이 같은 부작용을 막고 미래지향적인 보편적 서비스 제도 및 정책방향을 정립하기 위해서는 보편적 서비스를 경제적 관점에서 이해하던 과거의 방식에서 벗어나 '인간의 기본권 보장'이라는 관점에서 이해하기 위한 노력을 기울여야 할 것이다. 또 새로운 커뮤니케이션 기술의 등장이 보편적 서비스에 미치는 영향에 대해 꾸준한 관심을 기울이고 후속 연구를 진행하는 것이 필요할 것이다.

여군인력은 2014년 육군의 포병, 방공 등 그동안 허용되지 않았던 전투병과를 여군에게 개방했다. 2015년 1만 명을 넘어섰으며 2017년 장교 4450명, 부사관 6374명으로 확대할 계획에 있다. 해군은 2017년부터 잠수함에 승선할 여군 장교를 선발해 3000t급 이상 잠수함에 승선시킬 방침이다. 그러나 정책의 결정에 따라 여군이 증가하였음에도 이에 대한 제도적 보완은 미흡한 상태이다. 따라서 여군의 역할이 확대되고 미래전 양상에 부합된 여군운용에 대한 발전적인 제도가 뒷받침되어야 할 시기가 되었으며, 여군의 선발과 인력 확대에 대한 보직순환과 관리 등 명확한 기준이 요구되고 있다. 여군과 남군이 차이가 있음에도 남군과 동일한 기준으로 적용하고 있는 현재 규정을 보완하고 현상을 분석하여 여군인사운영에 대해 발전적인 방안이 제시되어야 할 것이다.

구술자료는 개인의 내밀한 삶의 체험과 인생의 소회를 담고 있는 것이기 때문에 자료의 수집과 활용과정에서 매우 까다로운 윤리적, 법적 문제들이 야기될 소지를 안고 있다. 자료의 섣부른 활용이 가져올 수 있는 예기치 못한 피해를 예방하고, 구술자를 보호하기 위해서는 구술자료의 수집과 활용의 모든 과정은 엄격한 윤리적인, 법률적인 가이드라인에 입각해서 이루어질 필요가 있다. 구술자료 수집에서 발생하는 윤리적 문제는 구술 작업 전 단계에 걸쳐서 적용이 된다. 구술자의 인간적인 존엄을 보호하려는 마음가짐은 윤리적인 문제를 해결하는 가장 기본적인 사항이다. 구술자 보호와 관련되는 인격권의 문제는 프라이버시의 보호와 명예훼손에 관한 사항으로 구별된다. 프라이버시의 권리는 인격의 자유로운 발현과 인간의 존엄성을 유지하는 기본권을 일컫는다. 명예 훼손은 개인의 사회적 평판을 저하시키는 진술을 포함하는 것이며, 민사상의 책임뿐만 아니라 형사적인 책임으로 연결이 될 수 있다. 한편 공익성 등을 고려하여 위법성 조각의 사유가 적용될 수 있어 자료의 본격적인 활용에 앞서 적절한 가이드라인에 따른 점검이 이루어질 필요가 있다.

The purpose of this study was to assess medical professionals' knowledge and attitude about AIDS. The subjects of study were medical doctors and dentists, belonging to Korea Association of Public Health Doctors. We sent a e-mailed questionnaire to 3,059 members and received 407 replies. Questionnaire was made on the basis of former studies' results and interviews with infected people. Major findings of this study were as follow. A lot of medical professionals had incorrect and biased knowledge about AIDS. More than half of them overestimated infection probability in case of being prickled with a contaminated needle. And many has negative attitude. The more they had correct informations about AIDS, the more they had possibilities to have friendly attitude to infected people. Incorrect knowledge cause excessive fears about AIDS, which amplify the stigma and discrimination. They contribute to people's vulnerability not only to HIV infection but also to other threats to health and well-being. It is in need of medical professionals' effort to increase their knowledge and improve attitude about AIDS.

By no means rapid advances in technology affects the working and improvement of all systems built to increase the quality/standards of human living. Information technologies as the main driving force of technological progress today happen to be a sine qua non for all organizations hoping to keep pace with or surpass rivals. However, despite their vital advantages it is true that these create undesirable side effects that harm social systems and the rights of persons. Similar to all others in the world Turkey is trying to cope with the problem through creating an appropriate legal and administrative substructure trusted to discontinue or at least minimize such criminal acts.
