Drawing upon existing literature, this paper briefly discusses aspects of conspicuous consumption. Analysis of the construct has been done in the perspective of changing capitalist structure and dominating socio-philosophical ideologies, especially postmodernism. Effort has been made to extend the original concept and propose necessary refinement and integration of relevant concepts to enable a meaningful, holistic, and contemporary interpretation of the said construct. This paper examines different aspects of consumer behavior, helps to generate some important directions for future research in the field, and also discusses these issues in the context of the transitional socio-economic background of India.

Zerrenthin's collars and coats are all luxury items, hand-made from materials she scours the globe to find.

Castle Hound Designs' products include jewelled and tasselled collars ranging in price from $10 to as high as $75 for a limited-edition item from her "masterpiece collection."

When she first started out, her products were designed specifically for greyhounds because that's the breed she's most familiar wit...

Griffiths discusses whether the undoubted thinning of sea ice in the various waterways that make up the Northwest Passage will produce not only an increase in intercontinental shipping, but a shipping-based challenge to Canada's sovereignty over its Arctic waters. Griffiths argues that climate change presents no serious sovereignty problem in the Northwest Passage where commercial navigation is concerned. However, Canadians may well have a need to prepare for new security and environmental challenges associated with a gradual increase in summer-months foreign shipping, which offers little or no challenge to Canada's occupancy of the high Arctic Archipelago.
