consumer boycott

Read a random definition: antidestruction clause

A quick definition of consumer boycott:

A consumer boycott is when people refuse to buy products or services from a company to show that they don't like what the company is doing. It's like when you don't want to play with someone who is being mean to others. The word "boycott" comes from a man named Captain Charles C. Boycott who was treated badly by a group of people because he was mean to farmers. Sometimes, groups of companies might also boycott another company to try to make them change their ways. This is not allowed by the law in some cases.

A more thorough explanation:

A consumer boycott is when a group of people decide not to buy products or services from a company to show their disapproval of the company's practices. This can be done to try and force the company to change its ways or to punish it for something it has done.

  • A group of people might boycott a clothing company because they found out that the company uses sweatshops to make its clothes.
  • Another group might boycott a fast food chain because they disagree with the company's political views.

These examples illustrate how a consumer boycott works. By refusing to buy products or services from a company, the group is trying to send a message to the company that they don't approve of what it's doing. If enough people participate in the boycott, it can have a big impact on the company's bottom line and force it to make changes.
