The free movement of goods across national borders has long been a controversial issue. Some people argue that it is necessary for economic growth, while others claim that it damages local industries. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Nowadays, it is often argued about exportation, importation and their effect on the nation's
economy
. On one hand, some individuals believe that this
action is beneficial for the economy
, while others, on the other hand
, think that the free movement of goods across national borders have a bad impact on the local industries. This
essay will discuss the above-mentioned controversial statement in detail with suitable examples.
To begin
with, most of the people believe that the exportation and importation of goods are highly beneficial for the nation's economy
. Firstly
, people can find products that are not produced in their home countries, such
as fruits, wine, local food, textile, electronic, etc. And secondly
, costumers will take the benefits of the law of offer and demand, hence
industries and business
would be forced to fight with their product's price and quality. In the same way, the ones who will receive more benefits of this
situation will be client in last instance
, who will be able to find excellent offers on a big variety of products.
Suggestion
the last instance
On the other hand
, there are some individuals who will not perceive this
movement of goods across borders as something good, the owners of local industries. This
industry is normally a small business
incapable of competing with big international companies. Therefore
, a local business
may not be able to compete in the market with their goods prices and quality. To cite an example, small local shops, such
as bakeries will have to depend of an excellent marketing and gain clients with the originality of their bakery, breads and pastries, their supreme flavour, and quality. Also
, people owning local shops should be close to their customers, with a friendly and familiar treatment, which will invite their clients to come back.
In conclusion, in my personal opinion, even if the importation and exportation of products are necessary for economic growth, and will help to citizens in last
instance with the law of offer and demand, we should also
support local industries and help to run the economy
of local, family and enterprising small business
