Pilot GCSE: People as Consumers

Often the power and relevance of geography can be most forcibly felt through candidate’s own behaviours. ‘People as Consumers’ focuses attention on the impact that the processes of consumption have made and are making on people and places.

One requirement of this theme is for candidates to follow the production, distribution and marketing of one familiar product (e.g. Coca-Cola, Nike trainers) and one service (e.g. the tourism industry, the film industry).
