Abstract

This research project aims to investigate the interactions between ethical consumption, civic engagement, and the impacts of the 4th Industrial and Social Revolutions. The research seeks to understand how these dimensions relate to and mutually influence each other in a socio-cultural and economic context that is constantly evolving. To achieve this objective, a systematic literature review will be conducted, encompassing multidisciplinary studies addressing the themes of ethical consumption, civic engagement, and the advancements of the 4th Industrial and Social Revolutions. The review will be grounded in theories and concepts that help elucidate the Finally, a framework will be presented outlining the potential impact of the key technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution on the dimensions of ethical consumption and civic engagement. This framework may contribute to consumer awareness and the development of more conscious and sustainable consumption practices. Additionally, the study aims to identify effective ways to integrate ethical consumption and civic engagement within the context of the 4th Industrial Revolution, aiming to drive a positive transformation toward a more just, equitable society committed to ethical and civic values.
