Culture of consumption .. measure or waste?
26/11/2017 12:00 am [rtl]Abdul Zahra Mohammed al-Hindawi One of the characteristics of developing societies, including Iraq, is that it is a first-class consumer, noting that some of these societies have been able to change this behavior once it has become a producer. It has also become an exporter. We refer here to China, South Korea, Japan and other Asian countries, While other peoples remained dependent on themselves, despite their enormous economic resources because they did not succeed in investing these resources for the development of production, but consumed to provide a living, "imported of course"! . If we talk about Iraqi society, we may need pages to talk about the many consumer behaviors. All appeals, Koranic verses and religious sermons do not help to limit this irresponsible behavior. Our social culture confirms that this extravagance Not a waste, but a reward. One day, some people stole to spend what he stole in the readers' reading, so that he would say: The generosity is a form of courage, and history recorded the names of generous and generous characters of light, especially Hatem al-Tai, without paying attention to the text of the Koran, which equated the devil and the devil and made ratios between them (the Spaniards were brothers demons). If we take the example of social events, we will find it surprising to see the huge quantities of food distributed among the well-wishers, the mourners and the various species and species. The next morning we were shocked by the large stacks and they were thrown in the waste. On the other hand, we may find a starving star and his children. Because our culture of consumption has made us a popular market for various bad and bad goods and goods, because traders and importers no longer want to import good goods as long as the society accepts everything and does not ask about the source of the goods. When we turn the Chinese on their poor goods they bring to Iraq while we find themselves making the best Goods and the best and in accordance with the highest international standards, they say do not care about us, but they reprimand your merchants because they ask for this comes to you, and we are working to meet the desire of the customer is always right! Certainly, our unregulated consumer culture has negatively affected the economic reality. We have become consumers, not producers, and the great catastrophe when the society does not eat from its planting and production. It depends on others, which led us to exposure in the national economy after agriculture and industry declined. Only import way to secure all life requirements. In light of this bitter reality, we should think carefully about refining our consumer culture so that we can rebuild our society so that it can rely on itself and benefit from its wealth in improving its painful reality. This will not be achieved easily under the root of such behavior. The aim of this policy is to improve consumer behavior. This policy is aimed at strengthening the coordination between the concerned parties in order to implement the health and safety instructions and regulations for consumers. This indicates that there is a great weakness in this aspect, which leads to the inability to enforce and apply the regulations and laws And we are supposed to have modern and integrated laboratories for testing in order to provide safety and quality requirements. The current presence of these laboratories is insufficient. The government has to contract with foreign companies. There are many observations regarding the performance of these companies. In this context, I find it necessary that the private sector and civil society organizations are present in this task. In this regard, we find weakness and absence of the role of these two main parties. The private sector has turned to commercial activity and abandoned its competitive role in developing the national industry of high quality. Is due to the opening of the Iraqi market to import at cheap prices and such a thing would provide fast and secure profits for traders. On the other hand, we find a decline and a clear weakness in the role of civil society organizations, which must be active in disseminating and spreading the culture of consumer awareness through the definition of consumer rights. Such absence helped to reduce the quality of products in the markets. The importer determines the type and specifications of the imported goods without It is exposed to any societal pressure, and certainly these traders and importers suffer from a lack of awareness of the requirements of world trade. What encouraged us to delve into this complicated issue is the announcement by the government of its approval of a regulation to draw up a national quality policy in the country, which focuses in its general directions on the need to ensure human health and safety, promote economic reality, support the private sector, identify imports and rationalize consumer behavior. We hope and hope that our excessive consumer behavior will change and that our society will become an active society that eats what produces and sells part of its production to others.[/rtl] [rtl][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][/rtl] |
