The starting point of this study is to re-exam the cultural conflict between the new and the old in Taiwanese society. With the example of the co-existence of traditional grocery stores and international chained convenient stores, we will study the crisis and solutions of the native cultural evolution. In early observation, we found that the convenient stores have become more and more acceptable by the general public through the years. On the other hand, 20% of the traditional grocery store have been disappearing every year. This showsthat the traditional shopping habit has been replaced by a new kind of habit. Althought the convenient stores had beenrefraining the market, the menory that we have about the good old grocery stores, particularly in our childhood, have brought us some regretful feelings toward this change. What is it gives the traditional grocery. stores an unspoken quality that the convenient stores can not replace? Is this unspoken quality to disappear forever? We will begin with finding answers for the mentioned questions, and continue to experience from field observation and depth interviews. In the mean time, construct an ideal social outlook on the basis of daily life world, to re-exam the quality changes in the consuming process. Eventually, we will combine existing examples and theories to reveal the true character of native consuming culture.

Fourth, in the Revelation, with the general understanding from two previous chapters on grocery stores and convenient stores, we will re-construct a consuming space with communication action which presents the goal and strength of social reform. Moreover, the space will need to have the ability to reexam the quality change between individual and group reationship. Last, in the Conclusion, the unspoken quality of grocery store has been revealed. It is only a sentimental item in a person memories, but it is also a powerful weapon to criticize the consuming habit accumulated by the convenient stores. Even though the social theory of reasonable communication offers the opportunity to re-exam, there still are three inefficient and incomplete parts in this study, still as, the personal subjective cognitive and the negative effect of relity reform.
