ConsumerServices



Ethical concerns of advertising, warranties, and consumer rights clearly show the need for a more informed consumer. Consumer services prepare students to distinguish between consumer rights and responsibilities, and gain a better understanding of the governmental laws and agencies designed to protect consumers. After investigating product labeling regarding wise purchasing decision and safe use, students will explore the pros and cons of the media in regard to advertising and advertising claims. Then, they will write an advertisement for a target market and using a software program they will design a brochure. To complete the IIU, students will gain an understanding of the "Consumer's Bill of Rights" and then perform a product comparison activity of household items and other products.
