There is an ongoing debate regarding domestic products versus foreign products. Some people opine that it is better to buy country-made products, whereas others contradict the fact and state that it should be an individual choice. In my view, I support the purchasing of domestic products as it boosts the economy of a country. In this essay, we will discuss both views along with reasons for my opinion.
To start with, in today’s era of globalised economy, it is extremely difficult to sustain a country’s economy without promoting locally made products. Firstly, it will create more job opportunities for local population. Secondly, it minimizes the use of foreign money reserves to purchase international products. For example, a huge part of budget usually is spent on purchase of defence products, which can be avoided if the products are manufactured in the country itself, in turn boosting its economy
On the other hand, individuals have the freedom to buy whatever they desire. People have access to all kinds of social media, and as the world is becoming more and more global, people are aware of the products and services provided all over the world and are also available in their own country. They have the right to buy anything they want if they have the means. For instance, people who are able to afford prefer to buy Swiss made watches because of their quality.
To conclude, it is an acknowledged reality that global products are available worldwide. Purchasing of domestic products should be encouraged to protect the economy. While keeping in mind that everybody has the right to make their own choices, as long as the product quality is not be compromised.
