I feel that we ought to maintain our own status of production and manufacturing, and should foster growth and development within our borders. It should be noted however that foreign specialization due to comparative advantage is necessary in order to strengthen the economy. Therefore a blend of foreign and domestic is optimal, and protectionism is only necessary to an extent.

How might friendships change if shared interests in international popular culture were limited by trade policies?
@9KZ8G2GRepublican2yrs2Y
@9KZ7WV82yrs2Y
If trade policies limited shared interests in international popular culture, friendships could change.

However, true friendships can overcome these barriers and find other ways to stay connected and enjoy shared interests.

Would choosing a local product over an imported one make you feel more connected to your community, and why?
@9L8L8LQ2yrs2Y

Buying from a local community business can establish trust between consumers and the products they buy because they know exactly where its coming from and how it has been made.
