QUESTION 4

Compulsory – 60 marks: PUPIL RESPONSE

BE A CATALYST FOR CHANGE

Aim: Through research, you will be required to identify and discuss injustices that surround
the unethical practices of a specific company and to unpack various aspects pertaining
to this theme. The skills of problem-solving, reflection and analysis will be required to
respond adequately to the questions in this section.

We have now established that almost all of the products that we consume, have an
environmental and/or social justice price tag and that we do not need to stop consuming
altogether, but that it is more about having a conscious attitude while consuming.

The burden of addressing extreme consumerism cannot and should not be placed solely
on the individual. Instead, companies which have their own self-centred interests to make
a profit must also be held accountable. To create real change for vulnerable groups and the
environment, society must make the shift away from extreme consumerism through
extensive structural shifts. This must be a collaborative effort. What is needed is a
restructuring across all sectors of the economy towards valuing fewer, but higher quality,
goods.
