Because of the global economy. Many goods including what we use as daily basics produced by other countries have to be transported for a long distance. To what extent do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

In

this

modern era, various kinds of

products

, used in everyday life, are coming from abroad and be transferred for a long route.

This

essay will discuss both pros and cons of

this

issue and explain why the advantages do in fact outweigh the disadvantages.

To begin

with, looking at the advantages of overseas

products

,

Firstly

, one of the main positives is a cheap price. To illustrate, wages in some

countries

are extremely high, so entrepreneurs change their manufacturing

countries

to those with lower wages. China is one of the great examples, and due to the low cost of production, customers can get a high-quality product at a cheaper price.

Secondly

countries

countries

, as well as the whole world economies.

On the contrary

, the drawbacks of

this

issue can be identified, to start with, the waiting

time

is one of the problems of the overseas goods, they have to travel for a long way, most of the

products

are transported via ship due to its low-cost transportation,

thus

, it may take a period of

time

normally for a week or a month.

Moreover

, if some accidents happen on the transportation route, there will be no chance that the customer will receive the

products

on

time

.

For instance

, the Suez Canal was blocked for six days after the grounding of the giant ship.

This

situation affected the economy in a deteriorate way,

in other words

, many manufacturers lost a large amount of money from

this

accident. In conclusion,

time
