Select a food, clothing or technology product that you currently have in your home. Determine from where said product originated.
Ascertain how the origins (including raw materials, byproducts, or social issues) of this product may have impacted an indigenous people or a specific community.
Reflect on how this knowledge, combined with what you have learned in this course, affects your ability to make socially aware choices.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post one paragraph that briefly describes the origins of a food, clothing, or technology product you have in your home. In a second paragraph, assess the extent to which your consumer choices could impact global justice and environmental sustainability. What other steps would you consider taking to promote positive social change?
Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week’s Learning Resources, or something you have read, heard, seen, or experienced.
