5.13 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should buy things made by their own country, even if things of other countries may cost less?
In recent years, there is a public controversy on whether people should buy things made from their own country. Those who criticize the activity argue that people should purchase commodity regardless of their origins. However, some people are in support of this notion. Contrary to the opinion of the latter is my heartfelt agreement that people can select different kinds of products without the boundary where they come from.
To begin with, people are concerned about the inexpensiveness and the effectiveness of the products. The cheaper, the better. the effective ,the better. In this regard, price and quality takes a top priority. It provides an instance of my own, I am obsessed with digital products. Sometimes I will purchase the camera made in Japan, and sometimes I will choose an American good such as iphone. No matter where they are manufactured, the origin will never play an critical role when I am comparing a product. At the same time, what makes a customer really care about is whether the inventory is expansive or not. The higher performance-price ratio product will attracts more purchasers whether it is an import one. Therefore, no on account can we ignore the price and the quality of a product.
In addition, permitting only buying the native products will cause a barricade to other countries, thus making our own country a economic recession. As we all known, trading barricades will compel other countries do just what we have done. Consequently, no country will trade with us and the barricades will have an negative effects on our economy, inducing manufactory industrial depression. As can be seen in the case of Japan, in 2000, the Japanese government lay a trading barricade of tires to the united states, which results a sudden declining in its gross domestic profits from 40 millions dollas to 30 millions. Thus, we cannot emphasis the crisis of the trading barrier too much.
When people deem it is favorable to select various sorts of merchandise, isn't it essential that freedom selection will give us some consideration to the negative points it possibly emerges? For one thing, purchasing the products from other countries will cause more companies go bankrupt and drop the employment rates. For another, if foreign products take a large majority of our consumption, the fiscal revenue will be cut down. Even worse, our on sufficient finance will support our public welfare, such as medical treatment and education.
Considerable though the disadvantages that free trading brings about are, they cannot compete with the merits that national- wide productive selection result in, when the economy and the effectiveness are taken into consideration.
