Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the section 6 of Consumer Protection Act, 1986 there has been an effort to empower consumers by giving them six consumer rights. But the fact of the matter is that the rights of consumers are still infringed by unfair and restrictive trade practices adopted by traders or manufacturers.The study aimed to analyze the consumers' awareness level and protest of recognized and unrecognized consumer rights. Further, it identifies and analyse the sources of awareness of consumer rights.The primary data is used which has been collected by using a structured questionnaire. 600 respondents of rural and urban areas of fifteen districts of Haryana were sampled. Responses were analyzed by the help of Percentages, Chi- square, One Sample t-Test, Karl Pearson Co-efficient of Correlation and presented by tables. It was concluded nearly half of the respondents were found aware about the consumer rights but protest for the rights was not much evident. Moreover, awareness of unrecognized consumer rights was also equally accepted by consumers. It indicated that consumers did not exactly know the legal rights but everything which felt like consumer right deemed to be the right of consumer. Television has been reported as major source of awareness of consumer rights along with schools/ colleges, internet and newspaper. Radio was most unpopular source of awareness along with friends and family. Educated, young and high income consumers found internet as very useful source.
Book Synopsis Test and Protest by : Norman Isaac Silber
Download or read book Test and Protest written by Norman Isaac Silber and published by New York : Holmes & Meier. This book was released on 1983 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traces the tradition of consumer protest and examines the early history of Consumers Union, which started as a working-class-oriented movement and soon evolved into the guiding light of an educated consumer elite. Silber argues that in choosing scientific testing as a means of consumer reform, the Consumers Union changed itself and the consumer movement more than it did American society. He uses three case studies -- reform of automative design, discouragement of smoking, and prevention of the contamination of food by radioactive fallout -- to demonstrate the use of scientific testing in social reform.

Download or read book Consumer Rights for Everyone written by Pushpa Girimaji and published by . This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect guide for harried consumers Consumer Rights for Everyone is in essence what it promises to be: Everymanýs guide to consumer awareness. It addresses certain basic questions which all of us have asked ourselves at one time or the other: what does a telephone subscriber do when he gets inflated bills for a period when his phone was not even in working order? What do harassed parents do when their child becomes the victim of a doctorýs apathy? Can a consumer sue a housing society which has fobbed him off with a substandard house? To millions of middle-class Indian consumer courts promise speedy and inexpensive redressal of grievances about deficient services, unfair trade practices and defective goods. In this, the first book of its kind, newspaper columnist and consumer rights activist Pushpa Girimaji provides an exclusive insight into the functioning of the consumer courts and the invaluable service they render, offering advice on the pitfalls to be avoided. Starting with the basics, she gives an explanation of the Consumer Protection Act and details how a consumer can fight his/her own case with or without a lawyer. Case studies and brief summations of court verdicts form the core of the book and touch fields as diverse as housing, health, telecommunications, railways, power supply and insurance. Written in a crisp, accessible style that consciously steers clear of jargon-ridden legalese, Consumer Rights for Everyone should become a valuable handbook for the conscious consumer.
Book Synopsis Protest Politics in the Marketplace by : Caroline Heldman
Download or read book Protest Politics in the Marketplace written by Caroline Heldman and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protest Politics in the Marketplace examines how social media has revolutionized the use and effectiveness of consumer activism. In her groundbreaking book, Caroline Heldman emphasizes that consumer activism is a democratizing force that improves political participation, self-governance, and the accountability of corporations and the government. She also investigates the use of these tactics by conservatives. Heldman analyzes the democratic implications of boycotting, socially responsible investing, social media campaigns, and direct consumer actions, highlighting the ways in which such consumer activism serves as a countervailing force against corporate power in politics. In Protest Politics in the Marketplace, she blends democratic theory with data, historical analysis, and coverage of consumer campaigns for civil rights, environmental conservation, animal rights, gender justice, LGBT rights, and other causes. Using an inter-disciplinary approach applicable to political theorists and sociologists, Americanists, and scholars of business, the environment, and social movements, Heldman considers activism in the marketplace from the Boston Tea Party to the present. In doing so, she provides readers with a clearer understanding of the new, permanent environment of consumer activism in which they operate.

Download or read book World Protests written by Isabel Ortiz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access book. The start of the 21st century has seen the world shaken by protests, from the Arab Spring to the Yellow Vests, from the Occupy movement to the social uprisings in Latin America. There are periods in history when large numbers of people have rebelled against the way things are, demanding change, such as in 1848, 1917, and 1968. Today we are living in another time of outrage and discontent, a time that has already produced some of the largest protests in world history. This book analyzes almost three thousand protests that occurred between 2006 and 2020 in 101 countries covering over 93 per cent of the world population. The study focuses on the major demands driving world protests, such as those for real democracy, jobs, public services, social protection, civil rights, global justice, and those against austerity and corruption. It also analyzes who was demonstrating in each protest; what protest methods they used; who the protestors opposed; what was achieved; whether protests were repressed; and trends such as inequality and the rise of women’s and radical right protests. The book concludes that the demands of protestors in most of the protests surveyed are in full accordance with human rights and internationally agreed-upon UN development goals. The book calls for policy-makers to listen and act on these demands.
Book Synopsis Protest Cultures by : Kathrin Fahlenbrach
Download or read book Protest Cultures written by Kathrin Fahlenbrach and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protest is a ubiquitous and richly varied social phenomenon, one that finds expression not only in modern social movements and political organizations but also in grassroots initiatives, individual action, and creative works. It constitutes a distinct cultural domain, one whose symbolic content is regularly deployed by media and advertisers, among other actors. Yet within social movement scholarship, such cultural considerations have been comparatively neglected. Protest Cultures: A Companion dramatically expands the analytical perspective on protest beyond its political and sociological aspects. It combines cutting-edge synthetic essays with concise, accessible case studies on a remarkable array of protest cultures, outlining key literature and future lines of inquiry.

Download or read book Global Consumer Organizations written by Karsten Ronit and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As corporate activity continues to expand in line with the continued globalization of the economy there is an increasing demand for establishing rules to regulate the trans-boundary activities of firms and their many and complex relations with consumers. Until now, sources of knowledge in this field have been scattered and unsystematic and this volume fills a key gap in current literature, providing a concise and accessible introduction to the role of global consumer organizations. The book: Provides an historical overview that traces the early attempts made before WWII to formulate elements of global consumer policy, highlighting key issues and initiatives up until the 1980s. Outlines the groups of organizations that are responsible for dealing with consumer issues in areas such as trade and development, socio-economics and the environment, including the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, World Trade Organization, International Monetary Fund, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, and World Bank. Analyses the group of special intergovernmental organizations that address the problems of specific consumer segments, industries and service-providers, including the World Health Organization, International Telecommunication Union and World Tourism Organization. Evaluates both current and future challenges and dilemmas facing consumer organizations, including addressing the continued issues of coordination between them. Providing a much-needed overview of this key area in international organization, Global Consumer Organizations will be of interest to students and scholars in a range of areas, including international political economy, consumer behaviour, international organizations, economic policy and consumer behaviour.
Book Synopsis Consumer Culture by : Roberta Sassatelli
Download or read book Consumer Culture written by Roberta Sassatelli and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2007-04-30 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A thorough and wide-ranging synthetic account of social scientific research on consumption which will set the standard for the second generation of textbooks on cultures of consumption." - Alan Warde, University of Manchester "The multi-disciplinary nature of the book provides new and revealing insights, and Sassatelli conveys brilliantly the heterogeneity and ambivalent nature of consumer identities, consumer practices and consumer cultures... Newcomers to consumer culture will find this an invaluable primer and introducton to the major concepts and ideas, while those familiar with the field will find Sassatelli′s sharp analysis and discussion both refreshing and inspiring." - James Skinner, Journal of Sociology "This is a model of what a text book ought to be. Over the past decade the original debates about consumption have been overlaid by a vast amount of detailed research, and it seems unimaginable that a single text couuld do justice to all of these. To do so would involve as much a commitment to depth as to breadth. I was quite astonished at how well Sassatelli succeeds in balancing the two... Ultimately, it′s the book that I would trust to help people digest what we now have discovered about consumption and start from a much more mature and reflective foundation to consider what more we might yet do." - Daniel Miller, Material World Showing the cultural and institutional processes that have brought the notion of the ′consumer′ to life, this book guides the reader on a comprehensive journey through the history of how we have come to understand ourselves as consumers in a consumer society and reveals the profound ambiguities and ambivalences inherent within. While rooted in sociology, Sassatelli draws on the traditions of history, anthropology, geography and economics to provide: a history of the rise of consumer culture around the world a richly illustrated analysis of theory from neo-classical economics, to critical theory, to theories of practice and ritual de-commoditization a compelling discussion of the politics underlying our consumption practices. An exemplary introduction to the history and theory of consumer culture, this book provides nuanced answers to some of the most central questions of our time.

Book Synopsis Madison Avenue and the Color Line by : Jason Chambers
Download or read book Madison Avenue and the Color Line written by Jason Chambers and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, most works on the history of African Americans in advertising have focused on the depiction of blacks in advertisements. As the first comprehensive examination of African American participation in the industry, Madison Avenue and the Color Line breaks new ground by examining the history of black advertising employees and agency owners. For much of the twentieth century, even as advertisers chased African American consumer dollars, the doors to most advertising agencies were firmly closed to African American professionals. Over time, black participation in the industry resulted from the combined efforts of black media, civil rights groups, black consumers, government organizations, and black advertising and marketing professionals working outside white agencies. Blacks positioned themselves for jobs within the advertising industry, especially as experts on the black consumer market, and then used their status to alter stereotypical perceptions of black consumers. By doing so, they became part of the broader effort to build an African American professional and entrepreneurial class and to challenge the negative portrayals of blacks in American culture. Using an extensive review of advertising trade journals, government documents, and organizational papers, as well as personal interviews and the advertisements themselves, Jason Chambers weaves individual biographies together with broader events in U.S. history to tell how blacks struggled to bring equality to the advertising industry.
