Introduction\nTHE PROCESS of development along with the expanding globalisation and liberalisation process has increased the number of consumer related issues. Consumer protection has earned an important place in the political, economic and social agendas of many nations. In India, the Government has taken many steps including legislative, to protect consumers. \nEducation is a life long process of constantly acquiring relevant information, knowledge and skills. Consumer education is an important part of this process and is a basic consumer right that must be introduced at the school level. Consumers by definition include all citizens who are, by and large the biggest group, who are affected by almost all government, public or private decisions. The most important step in consumer education is awareness of consumer rights. However, consumer education is incomplete without the responsibilities and duties of consumers, and this influences individual behaviour to a great extent.\n\nDefinition\nConsumer awareness is making the consumer aware of His/Her rights.\nConsumer awareness it a marketing term. It means that consumers note or are aware of products or services, its characteristics and the other marketing P's (place to buy, price, and promotion). \n\nUsually commercials and ads increase consumer awareness, as well as "word of mouth" (a comment from someone you know about a product or service). \n\n   Need :\nwe need it so we will not be misled by producers,it explains if what we buy is worth to our money..and not harmful to us and to environment .\n\nMany people are ignorant of their rights to get protected against the exploitation by so many others. So when there is a forum for such redress of grievances there seems to be no such exploitation by many; and becomes a rare one. So in order to get a clear picture of the level of exploitation of consumers, the awareness is required. \n\n\nRole of producers\nproper labeling, full information, health warnings, handling information, expiration date, etc. keep to requirements, norms, standards\nlabelproducts according requirements, providing true facts\nThey have to produce and deliver the goods/services of rght quality at right price at right time at right place at right quantity with right face\n\nIf they are providing a service they should  carry it out with due skill and care. They must also make sure that any materials they provide as part of this service are fit for the purpose.\nIt is also illegal for a supplier to cut off, or threaten to cut off, supply to a reseller (wholesale or retail) because they have been discounting goods or advertising discounts below prices set by the supplier.

Both are inter-related and it is difficult to separate. Concentrating on production is essential to run the business profitably which doesn't mean that you should concentrate only on production.  Unless the employees are satisfied with the working conditions provided by their employer, they cannot get a better out-turn from their employees.  Provision of better working atmosphere, amenities which includes employees' welfare measures are all part of the employers' concentration on their products only and we need not view them separately.  On the otherhand, if the employer is concentrating only on their production ignoring the welfare of the employees, it would amount to nothing but exploitation.

How is it exactly that consumers are being abused? I agree that Consumerism very well could run this country into the ground, but that is the fault of consumers living beyond their means and borrowing to do so- not capitalism's fault.  Capitalism is simply the freeing up of people to make their own decisions in what they think is their own best interest.

I'm no expert but if you're willing to do a bit of reading check out Clark Howard's website.  He has a lot of information as do other consumer advocates.  Good luck!

When considering whether to produce more capital or consumer goods, you first must look at the state of firms in south africa. If here is a need for efficiency and productivity among firms and businesses, then capital goods should be produced. Yet to produce profit, firms must offer consumer products. An equilibrium must be found where the amount of consumer goods meets the market demand while producing enough capital goods to sustain firms. A good starting point is to draw a supply/demand graph for south africa goods.

ok.. the child consumer is the spoiled brat borne of a broken home.  It has disposable income that was not around 20 years ago.  and it doesn't stabilize anything.   Obviously, this question was from a teacher with an agenda.

The trouble with what's in the media is that it's often contradictory; one moment someone will say that something's good for you, then a few days later some clever dick will say that it's not. People end up confused, not knowing who or what to believe.\nTo increase consumer awareness, I'd say there should be emphasis on the benefits of keeping oneself healthy (and on the possible outcomes of indulging in bad habits), rather than ramming "See this stuff- it's good / bad for you"-type  adverts and messages down peoples' throats.

Factors Influencing Demand\n\nThe amount of a good demanded depends on:\n\n    * the price of the good;\n    * the income of consumers;\n    * the demand for alternative goods which could be used (substitutes);\n    * the demand for goods used at the same time (complements);\n    * whether people like the good (consumer taste).\n\nThe demand curve labelled DD in the figure below shows the amount of a good one or more consumers are willing and able to buy at different prices.

For me there are Five challenges\nFirst there needs to be an AWARENESS of product and/or service.\nSecondly there has to be an INTEREST in the product and/or service\nThen a DESIRE to acquire\nand with the ACTION that produces result, mainly using your product and/or service.\nThe final one is KNOWING WHO YOUR MARKET IS and understanding what motivates them to move from AWARENESS to ACTION
