Abstract
New consumer education for the 21st century is under pressure to cope with current problems, such as environmental disruption, globalization of economy and finance, and revolution of information technology. In this new social context, each citizen consumer is required to ship to volunteer for the resolution of a community's problems. The purpose of this study is to search for ways to educate consumers for cultivating this kind of citizenship. First, I have studied the Institute for Citizenship's campaign in the UK to find why consumers need education for citizenship. Then, I have understood what kind of citizenship is cultivated by participating in various communities around the world. In this paper, I would like to emphasize that we can implement education for citizenship at any school in any kind of society.
