Nowadays, ethical consumers are increasing and they consider social values such as worker's human rights, environment and animal's welfare as key criteria in purchasing products. This study focused on the academic and practical research of ethical consumption, in which the needs and interests are now growing globally. This study addressed the concept, trend and practices of ethical consumption as well as seeking methods to support and promote ethical consumption. It examined the concept and types of ethical consumption from the perspective of the philosophy on ethical consumption. Ethical consumption was defined as a behavior that intended to improve the environment and the welfare of people and animals by purchasing products produced according to sound ethical principles and avoiding products that are made through the exploitation or the damage of people, animals and the environment. It also dealt with the practices of ethical consumption such as the fair trade movement, Clean Clothes Campaign, boycott, local food movement, animal's welfare movement. In conclusion, I suggested that consumers, companies, governments, and NGOs should make an effort to promote ethical consumption.

Many studies have shown that the parents of developmentally disabled children are adversely affected by the experience of raising a child of this type. However, the range of reactions to parenting a handicapped child is quite varied and is presumably affected by a wide variety of variables. This study examined a number of demographic and psychosocial variables to determine which particular combination could best predict the current level of stress and coping behavior of mothers. Among predictor variables, marital satisfaction and dysfunctional attitude are variables that I am particularly interested in which can mediate parental stress. Five variables are found to be related to the stress of mothers, that is, level of disability, level of needed help, marital satisfaction, type of disability, father's education level. Also variables that affect four different types of stress (which are four factors of QRS-F) are analysed and the results presented. Among these variables, some are pre-determined and some are intervenable. We should make an effort to make changes in those intervenable variables such as marital satisfaction, beliefs and attitude about disability, and level of needed help. In future research we need to search and clarify the beliefs and attitude that help mothers adjust to a life with a disabled child. Also governmental support and policy making to reduce the burden of these mothers should be accompanied as well.

The study finds a constructive way to improve shared houses by analyzing shared house living conditions, satisfaction of the residents and potential consumer's needs. For this, a survey of 179 single-person university residents and interviews with seven young adults residing in shared house was conducted. The results showed that shared house tenants had high satisfaction in regard to bedrooms, common spaces, and rental costs. They successfully adapted to community life by frequently using the living, dining spaces, and common spaces with respect and consideration towards other tenants by following rules. Single-person university household should prefer single rooms and the biggest consideration when they move into a shared house is rent. Affordable rates were 300,000 to 350,000 Korean Won per month (40.5%) and deposit of 3 million won or less (64.3%). Results also showed a need for a professional manager residing in the house with a cleaning service for common spaces and a want to share hobbies with other tenants (3.25/5 point scale). It is very important in a housing welfare perspective that one experiences the value of living and emotional sharing to heighten the satisfaction through shared houses. It is essential to put effort into developing a service that reflects consumer's needs for shared houses to continue as a housing alternative model for young adults.

Recently, child abuse is mentioned in revised Child Welfare Law, on the other hand, elder abuse is not yet recognized as a social problem and little addressed in the field of social service. Like this, elder abuse has gotten less public and professional attention than other areas within the family abuse field. Despite the lack of attention to elder abuse, the number of elder abuse reports and incidents is likely to increase in the future. Based on the recognition that current effort and approach to elder abuse is not appropriate, this study attemped to briefly review laws and programs addressing elder abuse in the United States which have shaped in other contries. In the United States where various laws and programs that address elder abuse exit, there are incresing arguments that addressing elder abuse in the area of social service rather than in the criminal justice systems is more desirable. Because the most common form of elder abuse is not physical abuse but neglect including self-neglect. Self-neglect and neglect caused by caregivers' burden can not be addressed through criminal justice systems appropriately. From these experiences of the United States, the implications for policy, programs, and practice aimed at intervening elder abuse were discussed.

This study has focused on the transfer of infants and Toddlers-protecting responsibilities from families to infants and Toddlers education agencies due to an increase of a double-income family and nuclear family. It is because there is insufficient safe play space from the moment when infants and Toddlers return from infants and Toddlers education agencies to home due to a high crowding of housing and increase of vehicle, and there can be difficulties to take responsibilities of infants and Toddlers safety with a mere recognition and effort of parent. Thus, to suggest a safety education through mutual contact between the communities and agencies supporting parent role in a level of social welfare, its potential has been identified through a frequency analysis on 60 participants of experimental group who have trained a safety education and 60 participants of control group who have not trained a safety education. As a result of frequency analysis, the increase in safety condition in Korea, safety and development of infants and Toddlers, safety of play materials, and safety knowledge on general part of facility safety has detected and the practice of safety and safety consciousness has also identified to be more effective. The results of this study has shown a potential to verify its efficacy if it is verified through an elaborative model of safety education based on parents of young infants and Toddlers family.

Nowadays, the conflict of work and family has become a common problem in families due to the increase of working parents. But in Korea, there is a little supporting system which can help them work.

본 연구는 결혼이주여성들이 문화 간 차이에서 오는 스트레스를 해소하고 원만한 가정생활을 누리기 위해서 그들에게 제공할 수 있는 사회복지실천방안을 모색하고자 한다. 연구 결과에서는 첫째, 문화 간 차이 극복하기 위한 실천방안이 필요하다. 효과적인 문화 간 차이를 극복하기 위해서는 문화적으로 다양한 내담자를 위해 그들의 인종, 문화, 민족, 성별, 성적 지향의 배경에 부합하는 개입양식을 사용하고 목표를 설정하는 것이다. 둘째, 전문교육인력의 양성이 필요하다. 전문인력 양성을 위해 기존의 사회복지 과목에 문화적 다양성에 관한 내용이 다루어져야 한다. 셋째, 관련법의 재정비가 필요하다. 다문화가족지원법은 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 한국가족문화의 이해라든가, 결혼이주여성 상담이라는 항목이 결여되어 있는 등 보완의 필요성이 계속해서 대두되고 있다. 결론적으로, 결혼여성이민자들은 일상생활의 여러 측면에서 한국생활이 자국의 생활과 다르다는 점을 인식하게 되어 적응하는 과정에서 많은 인내심과 높은 수준의 노력을 하게 된다. 따라서, 이를 뒷받침할 수 있는 사회복지실천방안이 요구된다.

본 연구는 사회복지전담공무원을 대상으로 사회복지교육성과가 직무성과에 영향을 미치는지, 그리고 임파워먼트가 이들 간의 관계를 매개하는지 살펴보고, 이를 통해 전담공무원의 인사관리차원의 전략을 모색하고자 하는 것이 목적이다. 이를 위해 396명의 사회복지전담공무원을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였고 AMOS 구조방정식모형을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 인과모형은 적합도 지수가 매우 적절하게 부합하는 것으로 나타나 이론적 모형을 잘 나타내고 있었으며, 사회복지교육과 직무성과, 그리고 임파워먼트와의 관계를 잘 설명하는 모형임이 입증되었다. 따라서 사회복지전담공무원의 직무성과를 높이기 위해서는 기본적으로 사회복지교육이 선행조건이 된다는 것이 확인되었으며, 사회복지교육성과를 높이기 위한 인사관리차원의 다양한 교육훈련 정책이 강화되어야 할 것이다. 또한 사회복지전담공무원의 임파워먼트 향상을 위한 다양한 방안도 마련되어야 할 것이다.

HIV/AIDS 감염인의 삶의 질은 치료경과와 생존율 향상뿐만 아니라 HIV/AIDS 감염의 예방과 관리를 위해서 매우 중요한 의미를 지닌다. 이러한 감염인의 삶의 질에 대해 우리 사회에 여전히 존재하는 부정적 시각과 낙인은 이들의 삶의 질을 저하시키는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 감염인의 삶의 질 제고를 위해서 낙인을 불식시키는 노력과 더불어 그 부정적 영향을 완충하는 개입 또한 요구된다. 하지만 감염인의 삶의 질을 실증적으로 검토한 연구가 매우 소수이며, 삶의 질에 대한 낙인의 부정적 영향을 조절하는 요인을 다룬 연구는 거의 없는 상태이다. 이에 본 연구는 HIV/AIDS 감염인의 삶의 질에 대한 지각된 낙인의 부정적 영향을 완충하는 요인으로 사회적 지지의 조절효과를 검증하는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. HIV/AIDS 감염인 102명을 대상으로 조사가 이루어졌으며, 위계적 회귀분석과 단순기울기 검정을 통해 사회적 지지의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 연구결과 통제요인인 교육수준과 직업의 유무가 삶의 질에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 지각된 낙인은 삶의 질에 유의한 부적 영향을 미치고 있었다. 사회적 지지는 삶의 질에 유의한 정적 영향을 미치고 있었고, 지각된 낙인이 삶의 질에 미치는 영향에 대한 사회적 지지의 조절효과가 유의한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 HIV/AIDS 감염인의 삶의 질 향상을 위해 이들에 대한 사회의 낙인을 불식시키기 위한 HIV/AIDS에 대한 올바른 정보제공과 교육의 노력이 필요하며, 특히 사회적 지지를 강화하기 위해 지역사회 기반의 동료지지 집단 프로그램의 수행 등의 노력이 필요하다는 사회복지실천에의 함의를 제시하였고, 연구의 한계점을 바탕으로 후속연구에 대해 제언하였다.
