This chapter takes the fragmented but continuous example of the government trying to get more people out of cars and walking as an example, towards a feasible and sustainable development, only when the "socialization" of behaviour change occurs, that is, when the behaviour is expected This happens only when social normalization becomes a habitual behaviour and minimizes or eliminates any structural and behavioural obstacles to this expected change.[1] we also consume: we buy newspapers and books, we go to university and do 5 courses and degrees, we produce and read the information on websites, through computers and other devices, and use up many services associated with expanding our knowledge or understanding each other and the world (McCracken, 2008). But consumerism is always bad, hardly increasing our well-being, and it is catastrophic for the planet. , Even to layout the gaps in life and issue a social statement about yourself. Consumption is often driven by the desi...

This article believes that the widespread dissemination and use of mobile phones is a sign of the transition to a new "personal communication society". Several key areas of social transformation have proved this, including the symbolic significance of technology, new forms of coordination and social networks, public Personalization of space. The era of personal communication technology, taking the widespread adoption and use of mobile phones as an example was the nuance and addition of the network society in the 1990s. Personal communication technologies differ from other network technologies (such as computers) in that they are usually worn on the body, are highly personalized, and are regarded as an extension of the self. The proliferation of mobile phones and other wearable media has challenged the traditional concept of the relationship between communication technology and the human body. A mobile phone can be worn on the body, so it is different from most other interac...

Cultural Values & Cognitive Frames in Environmental Communications Lectures The central of our sense as well as the concept of ourselves are constructed by human identity and human influences . Our cultural values and the way we express them through communication frames contribute to how we understand ourselves and our behaviours  in relation to others and many environmental contexts. Desire and individualism go together inside ourself. When we want to express that by narrating, or re telling them to others, it will create the identity of yourself. Therefore, we can say human identity is a narrative construction. Our knowledge, thinking and talking makes use of frames and frames form the systems of relations. The significant thing here is many frame-circuits directly connect with the emotional regions of our brain. The fact is you cannot think rationally without emotions. If there is no emotion and you have to face something, you cannot make rational decision to choose th...

Reading GLOBALISATION AND CROSS CULTURAL PRODUCT DESIGN INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE Keywords: globalization, cross-culture design, cultural dimensions Cross-Cultural Product Design is becoming more necessary, typically in globalization time. It reflected ethnic-cultural variation in different functionality, different ways people use them. Moreover, the amount of cultural diversity reflect the differences between products and product forms. However, there are many conflicting of ethnic-cultural variation with the uniformity principle of mass-production. Therefore, we care about the impact of cultural dimensions on the experience and interaction between people and products. From there, product designers are facing to various issues. They often must develop a product which will be used in one culture (context) to another cultural environment. It creates a question is "‘global’ or ‘local’ featured design of products". Therefore, these things has become significant for des...

Reading Ethics in Design Why we need ethics of design Reason 1: bad industrial design can cause fatality and pose danger to people. Reason 2: corporate and businesses use designers as a way to make money and stimulate consumption, often disregarding of cultural values. Reason 3: the way urban design is built does not match with the desired experience. The choices made in urban design is still very poor in a technology-driven society.[1] All three reasons suggest importance of considering the subjective views of the individuals more than just for organisations to make profits. That design helps to build an image which connects the artificial with the natural world. The ethics we need: Fights against capitulation of human interests compared to the market. Against the greed of global capitalism. Prevents economic errancy and to withstand negative impacts from negative globalisation. Does not just take what is given but fights against negative actions. Ethics will help to form a belief tha...

Reading Design As Research : Positions, Arguments, Perspectives 'PROJECT-GROUNDED RESPONSES: DESIGN / RESEARCH Through practice-based research allows for the emergence of new modes leading to the establishment of innovative design processes and methodologies in solving issues of material thinking and production. It is significant to contribute to the knowledge, it requires us to work through several concepts that are intricate to knowledge and knowing, for example ‘context’ and the aim to fill gaps as a way of making a contribution.[1] Design is neither a service nor a production site of marketable products. The relationship between theoretical knowledge and action in professional practice as a ‘process of reflection-in-action’ where thinking and doing are closely interlinked.[2] 1. Blaming scientific rationality for the serious divorce between science and research on the one hand side and practice on the other, he describes the relationship between theoretical knowledge an...
