Within the movement toward socially responsible business practices, new vocabulary and symbols have become important in identifying business and industry’s participation in such practices. In this lesson, students will learn about what the tag of “fair trade” stands for. Additionally, students will learn about the certification organizations who verify that socially responsible means were employed in the production of goods. Students will also be encouraged to critically examine the notion of fair trade, given the power dynamics that often exist in a relationship between vulnerable and powerful entities.
