"The market for these services is the population of men with an interest in both looking good and taking good care of their hair, face, hands and feet. More particularly, because this is envisioned as an upscale shop with sophisticated masculine architecture and appointments (chairs, walls, waiting area, etc., to be planned by a qualified interior designer for both functionality and attractiveness to the intended market), the market consists mainly of men who have money to spend on exceptional grooming services. We expect these will be mainly business executives at all levels, male models, wealthy individuals, and actors."

From the Paper
"Internet shoppers cited the wider variety of choices available, especially in terms of the above-mentioned favorite purchases. For the high street shopper, the "what you see is what you get factor" proved to be the most positive aspect of the shopping experience. The subjects were fairly evenly divided as far as the other criteria were concerned. However, subjects did feel that one could get a better price online, as opposed to in the high street. There was, nevertheless, a striking difference in spending amounts between the two styles of shopping. Very clearly, the subjects spent considerably more money in the high street than on the Internet."

Abstract
This paper examines how on-line shopping was one of the new activities that was created through the use of the Internet and how its emergence cannot be considered a linear process. It looks at how, based on social constructivism, its development is attributed to different social interests from many social groups and how these social interests result in the pros and cons of the use of Internet for on-line shopping. It attempts to utilize different theories to analyze the use of Internet for online shopping.
From the Paper
"The use of Internet for online shopping also impacts human society in other ways. It constructs a new social relation. Conventional shopping way requires the meet up between consumers and retailers, but the Internet closes the gap between consumers and producers. Consumers can more directly reflect their need to producers through the virtual world, but interestingly, they do not have to meet up. The position of retailer seems disappearing. Some people consider it as alienation between people due to the adoption of this technology , but some think it as more frequent interactions between consumers and producers."

Abstract
This paper explains that Benjamin Barber in his book "Strong Democracy: Participatory Politics for a New Age" defines 'thin democracy" as a democracy in which leaders are elected but they are left to their own devices concerning the majority of issues; people have the powers, which democracy provides, but the demonstration of these powers is primarily manifested in the form of elections. The author points out that Barber is convincing in making his point that "thin democracy" has a tendency to strip citizens of their sense of purpose as manifested by the voter participation rate stagnating in the U.S. at about half of those eligible. The paper stress that Barber loves the thought of a "strong democracy" in which it is not the leaders who make a democracy great but rather an active, informed citizenry.
From the Paper
""Thin democracy" takes the stance that average citizens are not interested in political matters and are not capable or adequate enough to directly participate in the political process themselves, beyond electing officials. Benjamin Barber feels that the United States democracy is thin and poorly represents the entire population at large. Significant portions of citizens are unable to vote due to restrictions or simply choose to be complacent and abstain from voting. Citizens under the age of eighteen are restricted from voting, as are prisoners, and persons living within the borders who are not nationalized. Citizens who are active in a thin democracy mainly participate in it by electing persons and then monitoring their political decisions (if they choose to do so), allowing the elected (those seen by the majority to have the most expertise and capability to discern what best represents the will of the majority) to do the actual work."

Examines the demographics of postponing holiday shopping, based on research.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the demographics of postponing holiday shopping. This is accomplished in part due to a literature analysis and in part due to a fictitious survey that was conducted during the holiday shopping season of 2000 - 2001 at three urban malls. This paper determines that male shoppers are far more likely than female shoppers to postpone their holiday shopping until immediately before the holidays. In order to take advantage of this, merchants should concentrate on promotional packages that will attract male shoppers, such as gift boxes that are easily displayed and accessible to the shoppers.
