You believe that implementing policies to restrict imports will safeguard domestic industries, promote self-sufficiency, and ultimately strengthen the national economy.
Protectionism is a political ideology that advocates for policies designed to protect domestic industries and businesses from foreign competition. This is often achieved through the imposition of tariffs, quotas, and other trade barriers. The primary goal of protectionism is to shield local businesses, jobs, and the economy from potential harm caused by cheaper imports or unfair trade practices.
The history of protectionism dates back to the mercantilist era of the 16th to 18th centuries, when European powers sought to accumulate wealth by restricting imports and promoting exports.…

Imagine if studying abroad was limited to favor local universities—how would that change your academic aspirations?
@9KM4GVG3mos3MO
It would definitely limit the amount of opportunity you could have the ability to do
@9KV5B6Y3mos3MO
Studying abroad can teach you more about the profession you want to do. All employers would like to see a good and well-known college/university on the resume, and not all local colleges are good.
@9KM4QTX3mos3MO
I would change by forceing people to go to those universities even if they don't
@9KM4KNM3mos3MO
Although I myself are not interested in studying abroad, I feel like I would be restricted if I did just because the local universities wanted to have more attendance/revenue because the outside universities are taking students.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What concerns might you have about your local community if restrictions were placed on cultural imports, like books and films?
I believe that the long-term risk associated with "protectionism" is not worth the consequences.
@9JT42G84mos4MO
I prefer to learn as much about other cultures as I can, so I would likely be upset if the flow of new info was cut off
@9JT3BZ74mos4MO
This is taking away basic rights, citizensNO should be allowed to watch and read whatever information they feel fit.

How would the dynamics of online gaming communities change if only games produced in your country were available?
@9KZ79ST2mos2MO
If we were isolated from the rest of the nation, we would lose lots of our collaboration with other countries and relations therefore with them. Even if focusing on ourselves economically would be beneficial, that does not mean we should be completely split from the world.
@9KZ6YRD2mos2MO
the world would not be connected in the community and everyone would be angry. they are unable to play games from other countries
@9KZ6P4Z2mos2MO
Restricting what games people play is a waste of government resources
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
If international music were harder to access, how would that shape your cultural tastes and experiences?
@9KM46NR 3mos3MO
I think it would make it difficult to have diverse interests and tastes. It would also hinder our understanding of other places and cultures.
@9KLZWN2 3mos3MO
I would hate it because a lot of good music comes from the other side of the world. If I could only listen to "American" music i would go insane. People have different tastes.
@9KLZKXJ3mos3MO
It would shape it badly because you wouldn't be able to experience your culture.
@9KLZJ633mos3MO
the potential contamination and destabilization posed by the cultural goods themselves
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How does the idea of 'made in your country' influence your perception of product quality and value?
@9JP8THN4mos4MO
Due to what our country likes to put forward, I enjoy buying goods made in the USA because it makes me feel like its something of quality made for the people by the people.
depends, countries operate trade using comparative and absolute advantage
@9JP8LRQRepublican4mos4MO
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.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How important is it to you that jobs stay within your country, even if it means higher prices for goods?
I don't find this issue as important because I disagree. I believe that some jobs should be allowed outside of the country because keeping prices as they are now or lower will benefit many individuals struggling financially
@9HZH6NG5mos5MO
I think especially in America with the multi cultural and diverse society it would be important for jobs to be maintained within the country. Since, many jobs are local businesses or underground and going International will essentially make them lose importance or significance in the local level.
@9HZH6S25mos5MO
Not important at all, I believe people should be allowed to work outside the country and the cost of goods should be lower.
@9HTB8YS5mos5MO
As long as the pay is adjusted to afford everything it's ok
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
In what ways could focusing on domestic goods over imports affect the cultural diversity of products in your country?
@9HTT42F5mos5MO
The U.S could loose a lot of support from other races if they stop importing foods that cant be grown in the U.S.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Should a country's government prioritize the economic well-being of its own citizens over global cooperation and why?
@9HDFSX3Women’s Equality6mos6MO
It should prioritize the economic wellbeing of it citizens because if they have no citizens the global cooperation won’t matter
@9HDFRJ36mos6MO
yes, protectionism is good for a simple reason, if were gonna send jobs away, we need to get some sort of benefit out of it.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you think trade policies should prioritize your country’s consumers or producers, and why?
@9HL2PLS6mos6MO
Yes, as the country’s people would be its main consumer.
@9HL34KFWomen’s Equality6mos6MO
To improve economic activity within a domestic economy
@9HL34NC6mos6MO
I think producers because if the producers can get the product out for cheaper it will be cheaper to the public.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
How would you react if foreign products were banned and only local products were available, even if they were of lower quality?
@9H4HJNRProgressive6mos6MO
That would be very bad we should have products from other countries too
@9H462PF7mos7MO
I do not care about this enough to have an opinion yet.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do you feel about your country relying on its own goods and services during a global crisis?
@9HZHC885mos5MO
I feel that opening trade can aid both the home country and other countries. Isolationism and protectionism may not be the most beneficial option.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How would you approach environmental activism if your choices were limited to local products and services?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How do you weigh the pros and cons when your comfort item becomes substantially more expensive to promote local industries?
@9KLY8XR3mos3MO
Yes, assuming said product has an actual reason to become more expense, and isn't simile corporate greed.
@9KLY83P3mos3MO
I would be ok with it because then I would be more comfortable knowing I'm still getting a higher quality version of said comfort item than having to rely on a cheaply made item that won't last as long as the former.
