| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is studying synthetically the influence of the service society in an everyday life by the sociology. This research clarifies the service society, using a questionnaire and a field work together and utilizing data, reference, etc. positively. Consequently, the following research results were obtained.
In the service society, a family may lose intimacy much more from now on. The individual who had chosen external service actively is governed by such service offer system. The service society has made the paradox that the man who buys sex goods wants "the sex which is not goods." Furthermore, the maturity of the consumption culture changed the child market, and the family image also changed. Moreover, the computer game produced new media feeling. Especially the tendency has appeared to children. And old people's individual intention is comparatively high. It is thought that the aging society needs the service market for active and healthy old people. Many in-Japan foreigners are beginning to work in service fields, such as not only the factory of minor and a small company but also a place of the entertainment and restaurant. However, the problem on the communication by the life custom or the cultural difference has occurred.
