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 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.

Abstract
This paper examines how much research has been done into the effect of retail store ambiance on customer shopping and consuming habits and how scientists have variably looked at the effect that music, scent, and colors have on the retail habits of their consumers. In particular, it looks at how greater detail has been devoted to the consideration of particular types of music, whether it?s background or foreground music, and its influences, and how effects are studied in terms of customer mood, shopping duration, and dollars spent in the establishment. It proposes a study to examine the moderating variable of shopper age by measuring whether background music affects younger shoppers (18 to 29 years old) differently than it affects older shoppers (30 years old and over).

From the Paper
"The sampling design chosen for this study is a nonprobability design. Although this means that there isn?t an equal chance for the subject selection in the population, the nonprobability design offers advantages in terms of time and cost that make it appropriate for this study. Since we are interested in doing a small, initial examination of background music on shopping behavior, a small, affordable study is appropriate for this research. The nonprobability design means that the proposed study can be carried out in a cost-effective manner by selecting based on convenience rather than random sampling."

"The setting in which I made my observations was a shopping mall, and I conducted my observation by choosing a concourse to observe, remaining there for approximately thirty minutes, and them repeating this process at three other mall locations. I discretely took notes as I observed the semi-focused gatherings around me, and felt rather devious watching these groups of people walking past me, unaware that they had become human specimens in a sinister sociology experiment."

"For many years the center of retail commerce in the United States was Main Street-the central street in most small towns. Main Street was also the metaphor for small town community life. Parades, festivals picnics, town meetings and social interaction happened in the hustle and bustle of Main Street, as individuals came together to shop, conduct their civic affairs and enjoy their leisure time.

From the Paper
"Competition from reusable bags is another very real threat to the market for biodegradable bags since there is a risk that "with the sale of reusable bags, consumers could wean themselves off plastic bags altogether." As was mentioned in the Weaknesses section of this report, reusable bags are environmentally preferable to all disposable bag alternatives, including biodegradable bags; in addition, evidence suggests that reusable bags are actually becoming trendy while plastic bags are becoming unfashionable. A designer cloth bag proudly emblazoned with the words "I'm not a plastic bag" sold out the day it was released at Holt Renfrew stores across Canada and "those lucky enough to snag the $18 bag can now sell it on eBay for more than $150." Therefore, although biodegradable bags are different from conventional plastic bags, their similar appearance may decrease their social acceptability if these trends continue. Furthermore, "major lobby groups [such] as the Canadian Plastics Industry Association, the Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors and the Retail Council of Canada promote reduction and recycling over [biodegradable] plastic bags."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to discuss the history of large regional shopping malls. Their impact on society will also be examined.
Changes in economic, social, and political attitudes create changes in the types of properties that are developed.. Aside from purchasing simple necessities, such as food and household items, shopping is a multipurpose activity. A shopper usually plans several purchases for one trip rather than a single item. There is an advantage to a center that offers commodities and services, rather than one type of item. As a result of shopping habits and the retailer's need to be accessible to the greatest number of shoppers, retail districts first were developed in downtown business areas and near public transportation facilities. The rise of urban decentralization--the decline of..."
