▶ Your Answer : Various opinions may exist over the argument that it is better to buy a domestic product than a foreign product. With respect to this subject at hand, many people are liable to think that purchasing products produced by own country will be of great advantages regardless of their costs. That being said, from another point of view, It seems that it has more benefits for society to buy international products than only domestic products. I also have the same idea with some certainty, and the reasons are as follows To begin with, competitive edges for domestic industry will be improved by purchasing international products based on their costs. This can be stimulation for producers to make their products more durable and cost-efficient. Moreover, if we would buy domestic products without reasons, the power of competing with other country's industry will be deteriorated. To illustrate this, there was a study conducted by The Ministry of Industry and Resource to understand the effects of blocking foreign products into domestic customers. The results have shown that the quality of products that is produced by national producers have been lowered. This shows that there are no motivations for producers to make their items well with no competition with other industries. It just goes to show that it is better to buy any products even if it is not a domestic one. On top of that, buying international products will make customers have more options when they choose their products. Each country has their comparative advantages to make a product, and this product have better qualities in comparison to qualities of products produced by other countries. Therefore, customers can compare many products with their own criteria, choosing the best one. I will give an example to explain this. When I was 6th grade students in elementary school, I needed to buy a laptop for playing my computer game. I searched on the internet a lot, narrowing down 3 choices I wanted to buy. Those options were all made by foreign countries. The qualities and prices were much better than ones made by Korea. I selected one that would best match my tastes, and the product delivered to my home was fantastic. if it had not been for that foreign product, I could have not chosen the best one. This corroborates the aforementioned idea that buying international products will increase the available options. In a nutshell, It hardly comes to the convincing conclusion everyone agrees with. However, taking the two reasons described above into consideration, It is clear-cut that there are more benefits to buy any products regardless of their originated countries based on cost
