A2 FINAL EXAM: PRE-DISCUSSION

1.Should government be responsible for keeping consumers safe?


In my opinion, government should be responsible for keeping consumers safe. As the paper “A2 Final Exam: Pre-discussion” says “certain items in the marketplace can be dangerous and are regulated for the common good by the government.

For common good, it needs meet certain safety standards, especially food. Consumer safe is important for consumers. Sometime, consumers are dangerous to buy goods. For example, some automobile's companies want to sell their cars. They give wrong information to consumers. Cars are fast and freedom that make consumers buying the car for unsafe driving.

Many countries have a law for consumers safe. In my country, China has a law for consumers safe and March 15th is consumer’s safe day.



3.Should the business involved be responsible for keeping the consumer safe? What is the goal of business in society?


In my opinion, business should be involved responsible for keeping the consumer safe. Business must meet a goal in society that is not only for money.

In the past, some businesses want to sell their goods for money. They give wrong message to consumers. Fox example, cigarettes can make people comfortable; cars can move fast without rules; and color lollipops can give children different feeling. In fact, cigarettes are one of sources for lung cancer; many people die on car accidents every year; and pigment can harm children’s growth.

However, at present, business changes their goals. They are not only for money, but also consumer safe. Companies make “harmfulness for health” on cigarette boxes. Car’s qualities are quiet and comfortable seats. Lollipops are less sugar and without pigment. But businesses can not stop their production. They just change their ideas to show that goods are good for consumers. And consumers believe those goods are better than before.
