People have different opinions on whether people should buy things in their own countries even though it costs higher than it does elsewhere. I agree that it is necessary to buy domestic goods regardless of their prices. First, buying domestic goods benefits your country economy. Second, it is hard to use customer service if you buy things abroad.
Most of all, if you buy demestic goods, your country can benefit from it. It may have some merits to buy products in other countries. However, let me give you an example to show why buying things within your own country is neccesary. Nowadays companies in my country have a hard time keeping up with their competitors. Chinese businesses have been exploding and are rapidly catching up in multiple industries. Western countries have showcased a high degree of innovative and novel ideas. As a result, there is a demand for companies to hire exclusively the highest qualified workers. Consequently, only those who are experienced and highly-qualified can land a job and retain it. Students in colleges and even high school are working hard to ensure they possess a vast array of practical job skills. Furthemore, workers put considerable time and energy into developing themselves to expand to a better and more stable workplace. If domestic sales fall by buying things abroad, most workers will have a trouble to maintain their job and earning. On the contrary, people purchase more and more products in the domestic market, the economy will grow and both companies and employees can survive. This proves that it is better to buy things in your own country.
Besides, you cannot expect good customer service for goods you brought abroad. Some case that the customer have a chance to repair their goods brought in abroad may exist. However, let me provide an example to support the idea why it is difficult to get a customer service about goods that purchased from other countries. A few years ago, I traveled to China. I bought a watch that was very cheap. However, When I came to my country, it was out of order. I had efforts to search a service center. However, I could not find it. In this reason, I had to throw the watch in trash can. This demostrates that if you buy a good in your coutry, you can get a good customer service.
In conclusion, I agree that people should buy things in their own countries even though it costs higher than it does elsewhere. First, if you buy demestic goods, your country can benefit from it. Second, you cannot expect good customer service for goods you brought abroad.
