It is wrong to think that business is incompatible with ethics. I know that it is perfectly possible to carry one’s business profitably and yet honestly and truthfully. The plea that business and ethics never agree is only advanced by those who are actuated by nothing higher than narrow self-interest. He who will serve his own ends will do so by all kinds of questionable means, but he who will earn to serve the community will never sacrifice truth or honesty.You must bear in the mind that you have the right to earn as much as you like.Anything that remains after the needs of a decent living are satisfied,belongs to the community. -MAHATMA GANDHI INTRODUCTION The concept of 'Consumer Protection' centres around the problems of buyers in the …show more content…

Majority of our population is illiterate ,uneducated,ignorant and ill-formed. 3.

Yes, I fit into the category of a consumer due to the fact that I’m part of the endless cycle of supply and demand.

    1540 Words  | 7 Pages

    In the world, there are one billion people undernourished and one and a half billion more people overweight. In this day and age, where food has become a means of profit rather than a means of keeping people thriving and healthy, Raj Patel took it upon himself to explore why our world has become the home of these two opposite extremes: the stuffed and the starved. He does so by travelling the world and investigating the mess that was created by the big men (corporate food companies) when they took power away from the little men (farmers and farm workers) in order to provide for everyone else (the consumers) as conveniently and profitably as possible. In his book Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System, Patel reveals his findings and tries to reach out to people not just as readers, but also as consumers, in hopes of regaining control over the one thing that has brought us all down: the world food system.
