On completion of this module, students should realise that, as consumers, they hold the power to change things. They will consider such issues as organic foodstuffs, fair trade, recycling, the concept of the carbon footprint, food miles and using a gap year to do some good in the world on a voluntary basis. They will consider the meaning of the word ‘ethical’ in a number of contexts and make decisions about what is right and what is wrong in areas like stock market investment and Sharia law.
