This study analyzed domestic consumers' perceptions of and participation in consumer boycotts and its relation to ethical consumerism by surveying 1,000 people aged 20 or more with an on-line questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed in terms of frequency, factor analyses, cluster analysis, ${\chi}^2$, and one-way analysis of variance. The research findings are summarized as follows. First, consumers had an average (or higher) perception level of consumer boycotts and were categorized into consumer boycott groups of pursuit of self-realization, achievement of results, and pursuit of rationality according to perception patterns of consumer boycotts. Second, the consumer boycott group of self-realization exhibited a high intention for participation in economic and ethical consumer boycotts and was active in all aspects compared to other groups; in addition, the consumer boycott group of results achievement was in the lowest level of ethical consumerism with a low intention for participation in consumer boycotts and ethical consumer boycotts along with the lowest perception level for consumer boycotts as ethical consumption. The consumer boycott group of rational pursuit was comparatively skeptical about the influence of consumer boycotts and with a low level of deontological ethical consumerism. They had additional doubts about the effectiveness of consumer boycotts despite being active participants. The study contributes to the establishment of an ethical consumer behavior theory by investigating connections between the perception patterns of and participation in consumer boycotts as well as ethical consumerism as consumer boycotts conceptually expand as a form of ethical consumption.

Purpose - This study verifies the relationship of the authenticity and the fit of CSV activities on brand equity, brand attitude, and purchase intention. The moderating effect by the ethical consumerism was also verified. Research design, data, and methodology - In order to carry out the purpose of this study, 388 survey data were used. Statistic programs, SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 20.0 were used to analyze the data. Results - It was found that the authenticity and the fit of CSV activities had a positive effect on brand equity. However, the fit of CSV activities did not have any positive effect on brand attitude directly. To bring out the optimal brand attitude and purchasing intention from operating the CSV activities, the corporation must recognize the consumers who possess high ethical consumerism and perform suitable marketing strategies. Conclusions - The results of this study show that when establishing positive brand attitude by operating CSV activities, the corporation must put an effort to show the authenticity of the activity. Additionally, to establish brand equity, brand attitude and purchasing intention, corporation must recognize the consumers with high/low ethical consumerism in order to bring out the optimal brand attitude and purchasing intention by operating the CSV activities.

This paper contemplates egalitarian ethics and ecumenical consumerism suggesting expansive possibilities of Northern Ireland's sectarian limits towards unlimited spatialities in Robert McLiam Wilson's Belfast novel, Eureka Street. This paper argues that Northern Ireland's (Belfast's) (post)modernity and a social ethics promoting outwardly mediated relationships are a vision for nonidentity Eureka Street espouses against the identity politics of Protestant-Catholic schism. Eureka Street remarkably challenges Northern Irish sectarian politics propelling inwardly unmediated relationships by ethical possibilities of infinitively mediated relationships. In the argument for a postmodern view of the novel, commodity fetishism and consumerism are considered as key to a prospect of emancipation of Northern Ireland from the political fetters of total identity the partisan communities impose on themselves. This paper also demonstrates that a post-national cosmopolitanism Eureka Street envisages embraces a new social solidarity predicated upon socio-political pluralisms against Northern Irish sectarian identities.

최근의 소비자들은 기업이 우리 사회가 직면한 문제들과 맞서 싸우며 사회 변화를 위하여 관심을 가지고 행동하기를 기대한다. 이에 본 연구는 우리 사회의 주요 이슈와 관련된 사회적 목소리를 담은 네이티브 광고에 대한 효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 특히 본 연구는 사회적 목소리를 담은 네이티브 광고의 주체와 개인 특성인 윤리적 소비 성향에 따라 그 효과가 어떻게 나타나는지에 대하여 주목하였다. 그리고 소비자는 기업이 후원한 네이티브 광고보다 기업이 직접 제작한 네이티브 광고에 대해 부정적 기업 태도를 보일 것이며, 소비자의 윤리적 소비 성향에 따라 이러한 효과가 달라질 것이라는 가설을 제안하였다. 일련의 가설을 검정하기 위하여 직장인들을 대상으로 온라인 실험을 진행하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 사회적 목소리를 담은 네이티브 광고에 있어서 주체를 기업이 직접 제작이라고 표기했을 때와 기업이 후원하였다고 표기하였을 시 소비자의 기업 태도는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 소비자의 개인 특성인 윤리적 소비 성향에 따른 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 있었는데 윤리적 소비 성향이 높은 소비자의 경우 사회적 목소리를 담은 네이티브 광고의 주체로 기업이 제작하였다는 표기보다는 기업이 후원하였다고 표기한 경우 기업 태도가 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구의 결과는 광고 표기의 명료성에 관한 관심이 높아지는 현시점에서 네이티브 광고의 주체 및 표기에 대한 효과를 밝히고 이러한 효과에 영향을 미치는 개인 특성 변인을 규명하였다는 점에서 연구의 함의를 찾을 수 있다. 또한, 실무적으로 기업이 사회적 목소리를 담은 네이티브 광고를 집행할 시에 윤리적 소비 성향이 높은 소비자들의 기업 태도를 높이기 위해서 광고 주체 및 표기를 더 세심하게 재고해야 할 필요성이 있음을 시사해준다.

The medical profession has the problem of lack of bioethics, due to the expansion of capitalism and mannerism after modernization. Therefore, the need of education of bioethics is increasing, however, the cramming system of education is insufficient for promoting personal morals. So the author studied ancient and present bioethics and searched for the cause of current bioethics absence and the method of overcoming it. Especially, studying the vocational features of oriental medical doctor as profession and the problems of education of bioethics in oriental medical college, the author searched for the directions of educations of bioethics. The conclusions are as follows. The current medical profession have ethical problems because of social moral hazard, evils of capitalism, change of doctor-patient relationship due to expansion of consumerism, limitation of autonomy due to commercialize of hospitals, decrease of knowledge monopolism of professionals, moral indifference and frailty, and a missdeed preference. The education of bioethics needs "Rest's 4 components" but the current education of bioethics in oriental medicine college lacks of time and is composed of the cramming system of education. So it needs various types of education system. Morals are subjective and discretionary personal character. Therefore, informational education is insufficient for enhancing morals and complex education for various personal attainments (various social indirect experience, philosophical speculation, mental serenity) is needed. It has to be done on the basis of educational method by experience not lecture, long term expectation, and basic understanding of bioethics.

As fashion has concentrated increasingly on inner values, it has become more directly connected with human life and society. This study analyzed anti-fashion, a movement that resists mainstream society and culture, which it views as causing inner conflicts such as competition, mammonism, consumerism, and egoism by fixating solely on the pursuit of growth and improvement. The study examined Kinfolk, an independent lifestyle magazine, to determine the essential values and principles that comprise this movement's refusal of mainstream modern society. The analysis of Kinfolk identified the following characteristics of, the Kinfolk lifestyle: essentialism, nature-friendliness, retro sensibilities, socio-ethical awareness, and diversity. Essentialism refers to the pursuit of essence, brevity, innovation based on tradition and slow life. Nature-friendliness involves communion with nature and humanity, animal-friendliness, de-industrialization, de-urbanization, and nomadic behavior. The components of the retro sensibility include nostalgia, and interests in vintage culture, and handcrafts. Diversity encompasses commonplaceness, various subcultures, agelessness, genderlessness, acceptance of other cultures, and new understanding. The analysis identified the tendencies of anti-fashion in Kinfolk magazine as simplicity, naturalism, resistance to novelty, ethics, and inclusiveness. Anti-fashion pursues the essential values of human life that have been lost or forgotten in modern society. It is important to pay constant attention to the values of minority, non-mainstream and indie cultures that represent anti-fashion. It exerts considerable influence and has great potential as an area for the development of various style-based paradigms rather than as a single fashion direction.

본 연구는 중학교 가정과 교과서 중 소비생활 영역의 교육내용 변천 및 내용특성을 분석하고, 시사점을 도출하여 소비생활 영역의 교육과정 편성 및 교육내용 선정을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 분석 대상은 1차 교육과정부터 2009 개정 교육과정의 가정과 교과서 중 소비생활 영역이며, 분석 방법은 내용분석법과 워드 클라우드 기법을 사용하여 각 시기별 소비생활 영역의 교육내용 변천 및 특성을 심층적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 설정한 연구문제는 다음과 같다. 연구문제 1: 교육과정 시기에 따른 가정과 교과서 소비생활 영역의 핵심 교육내용은 무엇인가? 연구문제 2: 교육과정 시기에 따른 가정과 교과서 소비생활 영역의 내용특성은 어떻게 변천하였는가? 분석결과 시기별 소비생활 영역의 교육내용 변천과 특성을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 1차시기는 경제생활 중심의 절약과, 2-4차시기는 가사노동 및 자원관리를 교육내용으로 강조하고 있다. 이는 시기적으로 볼 때 우리나라가 1962년 경제개발 5개년 계획을 시작으로 자원관리를 통한 근검절약을 강조하는 시기와 교육내용을 함께하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 둘째, 4차시기 교과서에 소비생활 단원이 중단원으로 도입되고 5차시기에 소비생활 영역이 독립단원으로 분리되어 강조되었다. 이는 1987년 소비자보호법이 개정되고, 한국소비자보원이 설립되는 등 정부차원에서 소비자보호에 대한 관심이 성숙단계에 이른 시기이다. 이를 바탕으로 6-7차 시기에는 청소년의 소비생활이 강조되었다. 셋째, 2007개정 교육과정 시기는 2007년 소비자보호법이 소비자기본법으로 전환되고, 소비자 주권을 강조하는 등 소비자교육 패러다임이 전환된 시기로 소비자권리와 함께 책무가 강조되고 있다.
