Health M4: CONSUMER WELFARE AND PROTECTION.

1. What are the instances that you practiced your consumer rights?

For example, I am being advertised with a product. During the advertisement, I am not informed
that the product has side effects that can be harmful to me. Later, I found out about the side
effects. I, then, reported this incidence to the authorities.

As a consumer, I have to right to safety and the right to information. This incident has violated
my right to know everything about the product and it had put me at risk.

2. In which programs did you participate to advocate for consumer protection?

Write a short reflection on a piece of paper. Include the importance of practicing
your consumer rights.

First of all, at my age (15 yrs. Old), I haven’t participated yet in any advocate
program for consumer protection.

On the other hand, the importance of practicing our consumer rights is that it
provides a way for us, individuals, to fight back against abusive business practices.
These are designed to hold sellers of goods and services accountable when they seek
to profit by taking advantage of a consumer's lack of information or bargaining
power. For instance, it also provides us the basic rights such as the right to be
protected against hazardous goods.
