▶ Your Answer :
A large number of people might argue that people should buy goods depending on their prices in order to make a rational purchase. Contrary to popular belief, I strongly believe that people should buy products made in their own country for the following reasons: to boost the overall economy and to save money.
To begin with, when people buy a domestic product, the economy of their country can develop. This is due to the fact that with increased number of selling goods, the companies will make many job positions in order to satisfy customers' needs. This trend can create millions job positions, leading to the economic growth. According to the Ministry of Economy of Korea in 2011, after a movement, which Korean government encouraged people to buy domestic goods rather than imported goods in the late 1990's, the number of job positions increased by geometric progression. The study showed that the new rise of middle class allowed people to spend more, which stimulated Korea's economic growth. This implies that buying domestic products has direct correlation with the economic development.
In addition, buying expensive domestic goods enables people to save a large amount money eventually. This is due to the fact that cheaper imported products might be breakdown more easily than expensive domestic goods because international companies tend to manufacture their products by using cheaper components in order to lower their prices. For example, when I was in college, I had a friend who wanted to buy a computer. She considered whether she should buy a expensive computer of domestic brand or a cheap imported brand. Finally, she bought a imported laptop owing to its cheaper price. However, after 1year, she had to change her laptop due to the frequent malfunction. She made a unnecessary purchase by buying imported cheap laptop and spent more money than buying a expensive and sturdy computer of domestic brand. If she bought a domestic good despite its high price, she could save money. This implies that it is better to buy expensive domestic goods due to their high quality.
In brief, although there are many people who prefer cheaper imported goods to expensive domestic products I personally believe that the advantages of buying domestic goods far outweigh that of imported goods. All in all, purchasing domestic products cannot be underestimated in improving the quality of life.
