Book excerpt: Chapter OneFactors influence consumer behavioral differences between US big cities and small citiesHow and why do factors influence the consumer behavioral differences between US big and small cities? Has it consumer behavioral differences between US big and small cities? I shall indicate some evidences to attempt to explain whether it is possible that the consumer behavioral differences between US big and small cities as below: For cosmetic product sale industry example, whether it has consumer behavioral differences between US big and small cities to influence US big and small cities residents whose consumption use for personal purpose. The major factors of cosmetic facial beauty product of price, attractive packing, sales promotion, advertisement, ingredients and warehouse storage factors will influence the US big cities and small cities resident consumers' attitudes and choice consumption behavioral differences. It is due to the sale method difference of sale price, ingredients, promotion method and warehouse storage number to cosmetic products when the cosmetic consumers choose to buy any brands of cosmetic products from small cities or big cities in US.In fact, cosmetics are not just used by the US young female resident customer any longer, US young male resident customer is increasing taking as the use of more and more body sprays, perfumes and other cosmetics. Hence, the US resident young female and male both young cosmetic product buyer number will influence the cosmetic product sale number in US big and small cities. For example, if the US big or small cities have many adult older age male or female residents are living more than the younger age male or female residents in US. Then, the US resident cosmetics consumer will reduce. Otherwise, if US big or small cities have many US younger age male or female residents are living more than the older age. Then, the US itself US resident cosmetics consumer number will raise in possible. The reason is because cosmetics product need is depended on age factor. So, younger age US big or small cities residents will have more facial beauty need to more than older age US residents who is living in either US big cities or small cities. Such as US cosmetic product sale case, the large or small cities cosmetic product sale number will be extremely depended on whether how any younger or older age US residents who are living in the either big or small cities in US.Based on this age factor reason, the age factor is more important to influence US big or small cities cosmetic product sale number more than other factors, such as price, brand, promotion ingredients etc. different cosmetic products themselves basic product sale method factors. Also, it implies that the US large or small cities cosmetic facial beauty product sale number will not be possible to be influenced the sale number to be reduces, even the brand of cosmetics product sale price is raised, if the US large or small cities have many younger age US residents are living more than older age US residents number who are living in US. Hence, in consumer behavioral view point, it seems to explain that the age factor is extremely important to influence the US big cities or small cities cosmetics product sale number.Another one for luxury fashion sale industry example, whether it has consumer behavioral differences between big cities and small cities in US. In fact, luxury fashion industry, it has low or high luxury quality difference. This quality factor will influence US resident consumption behaviors between big cities and small cities in US.

Book excerpt: ChapterTwoHow can global climate changing and globalpopulation income level raising factorinfluence future U.S. greenhouse gasconsumption behavior ?I suppose US big cities have more high income and high education people are living. So, they have more effort to buy greenhouse gas to use at home to reduce pollution challenge. So, it seems that the greenhouse gas sale number in big cities, US will be higher than the small cities, US. Whether will future global climate change influence U.S. consumption market to reduce U.S. people greenhouse gas consumption desire? Does external natural environment variable factor influence U.S. people's green house gas consumption desires to be reduced? Ought U.S. businessmen need to achieve international poor or negative climate warm environment changing policies to prevent future U.S. natural energy resource shortage challenge causing? The important question concerns why and when future global climate warm environment changing negative factor will influence global natural energy, such as greenhouse gas consumption desire to be fallen down. I shall explain why and how global warm climate change will influence global consumption desires to be reduced as below: On the one hand, I shall explain how and why global warming climate changing factor will influence future greenhouse gas consumers' useful desires to be reduced. For national and regional greenhouse gas daily nature energy global home users' consumption product example, the emission reduction, due to global climate warm changing factor causes, it will lead global home users' consumption desires to be reduced. In general, global home energy consumers will choose to buy greenhouse gas energy product for these functions: Cooking food, driving vehicles to travel, air condition and heater energy supply etc. main daily basic needs at home or driving uses. So, when the home energy users ( families) need to drive cars to go to office or go to any where to entertain needs. These families will choose to buy greenhouse gas to drive cars to replace other kinds of energy. Also, when families choose to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner at home, who will make choice either buy greenhouse gas or other kinds of energy to cool their food to eat at home. Also, when winter or summer is coming, families will choice either buy greenhouse gas or other kinds of energy to turn on heaters or air conditions when they feel too hot or too cold at home. So, it seems that future greenhouse gas will b some families' base essential energy choice product, due to green house gas does not make pollution to compare other kinds of energy and price is not very expensive when global any families choose to buy this kind of energy to use at home for long term benefit. However, future serious global warming climate environment changing effect will bring this question: Why will global warming climate changing factor cause global greenhouse gas energy consumers to choose other kinds of energies to replace it to use? I shall explain the reasons as below:

Book excerpt: On online shopping customer behavior example, whether what factors which can influence the more or less frequent online shopping consumption behavioral difference between big cities and small cities in US. Although, online shopping behaviors are popular in US and internet technology can influence many US resident consumers choose to apply internet to buy any product habitually. IS saving time or convenience the main factor which influence US resident consumers choose to internet to buy any things ? If it is not right, whether what other factors influence US big or small cities resident consumers choose internet to buy any things from online purchase channel habitually? In fact, the most popular online shopping products which are books, watches, electronic product, sport products, home using product, e.g. tooth paste, towel, movie or music or entertainment game videos, electronic air tickets products. So, it implies that other kinds of products are not popular to be chosen to buy from internet. So, it explains that it does not mean that the US big cities have more population number to compare small cities. It does not mean that big cities must have many online shoppers number to compare small cities in US. For example, in the year, if the US big or small cities have many resident customers who have needs to choose to buy any kinds of above products. Then, the online shoppers number will possible increase in the year. Otherwise, in the year, if the US big or small cities have many resident customers who have not any more needs to choose to buy any kinds of above products. Then, the online shoppers number will possible decrease in the year.Is saving time and convenience the most influential factor to cause big cities and small cities US resident consumers to choose online shopping? In US cig cities, it is possible that time saving can influence big cities residents to choose to buy any kinds of products from internet. If the large city resident who are living so far away from the sellers' shops. He/she will consider whether he/she needs to spend how long time to go to the shop to buy the product, when he/she is busy at the moment. He/she will need to choose either catching any transportation tools or driving himself/herself car to spend long time to arrive the shop to buy the kind of product or turning on computer to click the shop's website to buy the product from internet online sale channel at home. Thus, the US big city resident consumer will be persuaded to choose online channel to buy the product attractively when he/she has computer and internet supplying at home as well as the seller has website to provide any US resident consumers to click whose website to buy any things. So, it is possible that saving time and convenience factor can influence the US big cities busy resident customers to choose buy the products from internet at homes. Otherwise, in US small cities, it is not time saving factor can influence small cities US residents to choose to buy any kinds of products from internet easily.

Book excerpt: In US, the large and small cities resident age, gender, and occupation and income levels are different, so these factors can influence the buying intention of luxury watches and mobile phones, gold, wine etc. luxury products and luxury entertainment needs and different kinds of luxury products and / or luxury entertainment consumption behaviors with respect to US different regions.In fact, although the US big cities have larger population amount to compare the small cities. But, it is not the main reason to influence the US large or small cities any kinds of luxury product sale number or entertainment service number any one. If the US large cities, e.g. Washington, New York both have many high income , better or permanent occupation , high education young people are living in these cities. Although, these both cities have larger population amount to compare the small cities. The population number factor ought not influence the both US large cities' luxury fashion product or luxury entertainment service consumers number to be increased if these both big cities have many low educational level, many temporary or contact job employees who are living in these both big cities in US. Otherwise, it is possible that the other small cities' cosmetic product consumer number will be more than these both big cities in US, if other small cities have many residents who have high stable income, permanent jobs and high educational level occupation and high educational level young residents are living in small cities in US. So, it seems that the larger population number factor is not the main influential factor to cause the different kinds of luxury fashion product or luxury entertainment service sale number to raise the luxury consumption need in US large cities. It depends on whether how many high education, high income and stable permanent occupation residents who are living in either big cities or small cities in US every year. So, the influential factor to US big cities or small cities luxury fashion every kind of product or luxury entertainment service sale number ought be the how many US resident individual has high education level , high income, better and stable or permanent occupation factor which can influence the luxury fashion product or luxury entertainment service changing every year in US.

This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I shall bring this question: Why does global population income level raising, which will influence human's basic essential energy need to be raised as well as why can it influence greenhouse gas consumption to be raised? Some scientists explained these reasons as below: When, human's income level raising, it influences human likes to spend more expenditure for travelling entertainment, e.g. many people like to spend much money to catch air plans to travel often. So, air planes will need much greenhouse gs to provide them to fly often.Schafer et. al (2010) indicated that travel is commonly considered in transportation units of passenger distance ( passenger kilometer). For GHG emissions, the modal split is also important. So, when global general population's income level is increasing, we will like to spend money for any travel entertainment. Any travel entertainment will need any transportation tools, e.g. high speed cars, public transportation, buses, trains, trams and air planes. All any one of these transportation tools which will increase to use greenhouse gas to provide to them to use. So, when global population's income level raising, we will often catch air planes to arrive different countries travel. When, we arrive the countries travel, we will catch the countries' trains, trams buses, ferries to travel in local. So, global any transportation tools will need to increase green house gas to use in order to satisfy global travelers' travelling entertainment needs. So, it explains why global transportation tools' greenhouse gas energy useful number will be increasing because when global population's income level is raising, then human will accept to spend more saving time to travel to different countries.However, in any global travelers' journeys, they will need catch any transportation tools to go to anywhere to travel. So, increasing global traveler number, it will cause global transportation tools to use much greenhouse gas. Then, the greenhouse gas can be raised to charge global transportation service providers easily because global transportation service providers will need to buy much greenhouse gas to provide to them to drive.Anyway, when global population income level is increasing, it will lead the greenhouse gas demand to be raised to global every home energy users' home energy need. For example, U.S., Canada these both countries, their temperature will be below than 0 degree in winter. So, it will be very cold in winter. I shall suppose that when U.S., Canada both countries' populations have high income level, then this high income level people have enough money to either turn on heaters often all day in order to keep their homes more warm and live more comfortable when winter is coming or they can turn on air conditioners often all day in order to keep their homes more cold and live more comfortable when summer is coming. So, the global greenhouse gas energy need will be increased when global the air conditioners and heaters are often turning on all days in winter or summer time.

Book excerpt: Factors influence US big cities and small cities same online consumer behavioral habitsUS , online ( electronic commerce) environmental factor can influence US inner city shopping areas face a decreasing number of visitors and declining sales numbers to the visiting shops of consumers' buying habits, but US online purchase habits to online shoppers sales numbers and the number of online shoppers will increase. Because e-commerce and young aging online consumers are considered to be the main causes in US inner city shopping areas, due the US traditional visiting shop consumers' habits are influenced to choose to buy any products from online by internet technology, however in US big cities or small cities. What Factors can influence US big cities and small cities' consumers change their traditional visiting shopping areas habits to online visiting consumption habits.Improving the buying experience in inner-city shopping areas may be a solution to attract more visitors to choose traditional visiting shopping areas habits more easily in US big cities and small cities. How to change US big cities and small cities young aging online consumption behaviors to traditional visiting shopping areas habits? I believe US big cite or small cities businesses need to change their shops or stores historical appearances, shopping locations, appeared appearances, shop windows and advertisement designs in order to attract US young aging shoppers to choose to visit to their ship or stores habitually. Because , online shopping method had attracted US big cities or small cities young aging to use internet channel to buy aythings at homes conveniently. Due to US some big and small cities of businesses stores ( shops) which are located so far from some big cities or small cities' young age residents' houses. So, it causes their needs to catch buses or taxi or trams or trains , underground trains etc. transportation tools, or driving their cars to visit any shopping areas to buy anythings. So, internet can influence US big cities or small cities young age residents to buy anythings from internet at homes conveniently.Hence, if US big cities or small cities some businesses hope their shops or stores can attract many young aging US residents to choose to visit their stores or shops to buy any things. They need to change their shop design to be more attractive, e.g. providing more comfortable furniture to visitors to sit, changing the shop internal areas' hot temperature and white light shop environment to the warm temperature and colourful light shop environment to raise their shop inner environment more attractive, changing their shopping location , e.g. moving their shops from narrow street ( less pedestrians) to busy precinct ( more pedestrians) or moving their shops to near to transporation tool stations, e.g underground train stations, bus stations, taxt stations, train stations, tram stations etc. stations in large or small cities' main streets, e.g. office, restaurant, large size shopping centers locations. Hence, it seems that shop location and shop inner shopping environment factor will influence the US big cities or small cities residents to change their consumption behaviors whether they ought choose to visit shopping areas more or visit website to consume at home more.

Book excerpt: Prediction future global fruit and vegetable soft drink consumption behavioral trendI suppose that future US big and small cities young, adult and old people began to concern health issue. So, they need to buy fresh fruit, food , e.g. pork, beef, sheep , vegetable to eat. It will bring the fresh fruit and food need to be increased. in US big and small cities. Due to these are essential food to every US people. So, supermarket businesses can choose to build their supermarkets to locate offices, schools entertainment places in cities, they ought not build their supermarkets in country , e.g. near farming location. Because food consumers will not be farmer target consumer. They will be students, working people in cities mainly. So, future supermarket choice will influence food consumer number in US big and small cities.State of the plate (2015) indicated that the U.S. fruit and vegetable consumption market trend after a brief rise through 2005 year, US per capita fruit and vegetable consumption has declined 7% over the past five years, this has been driven primarily by decreased consumption of vegetables ( -7%) and fruit juice (-14%). If fruit juice is excluded from the overall fruit total. However, these is only a 2% decrease in fruit consumption over the past 5 year. So, fruit has seen growth among certain subsets of the population, specifically children of all ages and adult ages 18 to 44 age.Hence, it seems that fruit juice is popular to be selected to drink for children and young, adult consumers in U.S. food market. Otherwise, U.S. consumers can select either to buy fresh fruit and vegetable to eat or buy fruit juice and vegetable juice to drink in U.S. fruit and vegetable health food market. However, U.S. food consumers will have possible to decrease fruit and/or vegetable soft drink consumption. The factors include ongoing interest in consuming low-carbohydrate foods, which peaked a decade ago, and the ever-increasing competitive set of beverages available to consumers that include flavored water. So, U.S. fruit or vegetable soft drink consumers will have possible to reduce fruit or vegetable soft drink consumption because they feel flavored water beverages or fresh fruit and vegetable will be low-carbohydrate food. Otherwise, fruit and vegetables soft drink are " sugar-sweetened" beverages. It will give less health to compare fresh fruit or vegetable food.Why is fruit or vegetable food the main food to U.S. people daily? The reasons include that : In U.S. eating habit, fruit has enjoyed gains in U.S. people traditional consumption habit t breakfast. This is likely because breakfast is a more health related meal and fruit. For example, berries and bananas have gained favor all day, probably due to their versatility for consumption and these both fruits are as a topping for cereal or yogurt or as an ingredient to a smoothie or hot cereal.Future global children and young and adult and old age food consumers whether they will change their eating habit to accept fruit and vegetable soft drink to replace fresh fruit and vegetable food more easily. I believe that every different age fruit and vegetable food consumer targets who will have different food need. For old age fruit and vegetable food consumer target , U.S. fruit and vegetable soft drink manufacturers need to persuade old age fruit and vegetable consumers to change their fresh fruit and vegetable food eating habit for better medical conditions , it is as a category to bring stronger health benefit to persuade higher consumption rates among older consumers. Global many old age people are concerning their health and greater incidence of medical conditions.

Book excerpt: Part TwoUS global consumption behaviorsChapterOneWhat factors will affect future U.S. peopleconsumer behavior of purchasing totobacco products?Nowadays, U.S. cigarette manufacturers have been increasing the use of less expensive foreign tobacco and decreasing the use of more costly U.S. grown tobacco. Hence, it is possible to cost U.S.. cigarette quality is worse, due to cigarette is manufactured more cheap and high quality of tobacco to cause the U.S. cigarette price can be cheaper and high quality to compare other countries' cigarette to attract global cigarette consumers to buy more easier. However, the high educational level and high income population in big cities is more than the small cities in US. This high income and high educational US residents will concern their health, so they will concern to smoke cigarette whether how their smoking behaviors will bring harm to their bodies. So, the cigarette smoking number in big cities, US seems to be less than the small cities, US.IS it only cheaper cigarette price factor to attract many cigarette consumers to choose to buy any U.S. brands of cigarette manufacturers' cigarette to smoke? Has it other factors to lead global cigarette consumers to choose to buy any brands of U.S. cigarette to smoke? It is one interesting researching question. I shall indicate that the other different factors which can influence global cigarette consumers why they prefer to choose to buy any U.S. brands of cigarettes to smoke, instead of cheap price and high quality smoking reason as below: On U.S. government assistance to encourage tobacco industry development hand, U.S. government helps farmers to shift to alternative agricultural enterprises, non-farm business development, training for non-farm occupations, household income support, and possibly even support for the social service that will suffer with a shifting tobacco economy. So, on behavioral economic view point, U.S. government creates many non-farm occupations to work in tobacco and cigarette non-farming industry. So, it influences many tobacco and cigarette manufacturers have confidence to develop their cigarette manufacturing and sale business in U.S. Due to many cigarette manufacturers sudden manufacture many cigarette number to supply in U.S. domestic market, even overseas market. But, U.S. domestic people number is small, so U.S. cigarette consumer demand number must be less than overseas cigarette export number.In supply and demand theory, when the product supply number is more than the consumer demand number, then it will cause the product's price to be fallen down. So, such as cigarette case, when U.S. government subsidizes fund to assist U.S. cigarette manufacturer to develop their cigarette business to encourage them to research different kinds taste of cigarette to grow in non-farming industry. It will lead many cigarette manufacturers compete in U.S. domestic market. Moreover, due to different kinds of U.S. cigarette supply number is more than U.S. domestic cigarette buyer number. Hence, it will cause U.S. domestic cigarette sellers to reduce cigarette sale price in order to attract many cigarette consumers to choose to buy themselves brand of cigarette to smoke. Hence, U.S.'s domestic cigarette supply number is more than cigarette consumer demand number.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of past society in terms of what it consumes rather than what it produces is - relatively speaking - a new development. The focus on consumption changes the whole emphasis and structure of historical enquiry. While human beings usually work within a single trade or industry as producers, as, say, farmers or industrial workers, as consumers they are active in many different markets or networks. And while history written from a production viewpoint has, by chance or design, largely been centred on the work of men, consumption history helps to restore women o the mainstream. The history of consumption demands a wide range of skills. It calls upon the methods and techniques of many other disciplines, including archaeology, sociology, social and economic history, anthropology and art criticism. But it is not simply a melting-pot of techniques and skills, brought to bear on a past epoch. Its objectives amount to a new description of a past culture in its totality, as perceived through its patterns of consumption in goods and services. Consumption and the World of Goods is the first of three volumes to examine history from this perspective, and is a unique collaboration between twenty-six leading subject specialists from Europe and North America. The outcome is a new interpretation of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, one that shapes a new historical landscape based on the consumption of goods and services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Trash explains how municipal trash collection solved odorous urban problems using nongovernmental and often unseemly means. Focusing on the persistent problems of filth and the frustration of generations of reformers unable to clean their cities, Patricia Strach and Kathleen S. Sullivan tell a story of dirty politics and administrative innovation that made rapidly expanding American cities livable. The solutions that professionals recommended to rid cities of overflowing waste cans, litter-filled privies, and animal carcasses were largely ignored by city governments. When the efforts of sanitarians, engineers, and reformers failed, public officials turned to the habits and tools of corruption as well as to gender and racial hierarchies. Corruption often provided the political will for public officials to establish garbage collection programs. Effective waste collection involves translating municipal imperatives into new habits and arrangements in homes and other private spaces. To change domestic habits, officials relied on gender hierarchy to make the women of the white, middle-class households in charge of sanitation. When public and private trash cans overflowed, racial and ethnic prejudices were harnessed to single out scavengers, garbage collectors, and neighborhoods by race. These early informal efforts were slowly incorporated into formal administrative processes that created the public-private sanitation systems that prevail in most American cities today. The Politics of Trash locates these hidden resources of governments to challenge presumptions about the formal mechanisms of governing and recovers the presence of residents at the margins, whose experiences can be as overlooked as garbage collection itself. This consideration of municipal garbage collection reveals how political development often relies on undemocratic means with long-term implications for further inequality. Focusing on the resources that cleaned American cities also shows the tenuous connection between political development and modernization.
