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.

At the end of the 20th century, Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools has appeared. Especially after our country's accession to WTO, the development of Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools has remarkably developed with a larger size appearance over time. As a result, the educational levels constantly improve and educational models increasingly diversify. However, with the profound development of Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools, various new questions emerge. The existing researches have broad discussed and proposed some constructive strategies and suggestions. Thus, those researches concentrate on the existing problems in Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools with specific regional observation and lack of general analysis.

They signified an increasing tendency among terrorist groups and insurgency movements throughout the world to employ females as today's "weapons of choice" in deadly suicide bombings. Since 1985, when the first female, a 17-year-old Lebanese girl, blew herself up, more than 250 women in such distant locations as Sri Lanka, India, Turkey, Russia/Chechnya, the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Iraq embarked on suicide missions. While it is true that personal grievances drive some women to involve themselves in suicide bombings, such scenarios do not account for all cases of female suicide terrorism. There is evidence to suggest that in many cases women's motivations and commitments are no less political than those of men. Yet, acknowledging that women and girls become human bombs in order to...

Such expressions as "weak" or "fragile" states are absent from Brazil's President Lula da Silva's domestic and diplomatic rhetoric. Instead, according to official statements of Lula's government, lawlessness, insurgency, transnational crime and terrorism, which are widely linked to state failure, are blamed on deep social causes that inflict social injustice and poverty to large portions of the world population. This article explains this proclivity of Lula's foreign policy as a result of colliding agendas prevailing inside Lula's party, and his governing coalition. The social and political bases of such divide are explored, and the process through which ideological goals prevail in his foreign agenda is described.
