Atoms are inconceivably small particles that form the building blocks of matter, the smallest complete units of which all matter is made. To visualize the size of an atom, one can think of placing millions of them on the sharpened end of a pencil and still having room for more. Everything about us, everything we can see or touch, is made of atoms--the food we eat, the atmosphere, the water in the oceans, the smoke coming out of the chimney. |
Many of us think of ourselves as consumers only when we purchase a product or utilize a service. If we buy a suit or dress, we are part of the large mass of clothing consumers. If we sit down and eat a hamburger, we are consumers of fast foods. For most people, the concept of "consumerism" is fairly narrow. As a consequence of this limited focus, many people fail to understand that their individual decisions and actions affect other people. They become concerned about consumer issues only when they must deal directly with consumer problems. All too often, by the time they realize that they are not equipped to handle a consumer problem, it is too late. They have already become victims. |
