low-wage countries (l.w.c) can make same amount of output at cheaper price than developed nations (d.n). in results, d.n usually import goods from l.w.c. this is good for consumers from d.n. But this is bad for businesses from the d.n that produce the same type of goods imported from l.w.c. this may force businesses to close which then lead to unemployment. therefore unions usually oppose imports from l.w.c. and demand for advocate trade barriers. unfair trade competition usually refers to the super-cheap products made by those l.w.c as opposed products by d.n i'll say that there is no such thing as unfair competition and to say 'no' to these goods are just being selfish and foolish. we have to remember that one's import is one's export. if we stop importing these products altogether, unemployment in the l.w.c would increase. they are already receiving low wages in the first place, what would they eat with no jobs at all? what the d.n should do in my opinion is to focus on things that can't be provided by the l.w.c. examples would be services, tourism and so on. again, i'll say there is no such thing as unfair compettion. those l.w.c may have advantage on labour, d.n may have advantage on other things. d.n must figure wat those advantages are and exploit them. but this is just my opinion, ya? importing 'everything' from l.w.c is not a good thing at all. |

Why is crime rate low in some Crime rate is especially low
in some muslim countries.
Muslims believe God watches
people at all times and will
ask about their actions and
faiths. Does this belief have
anything to do with the low
crime rate in Muslim
Countries? While researching I
saw that there were
excessively high crime rates
in Western Nations, like the
United States and Britain.
Will increased spirituality
help lower crime in those
nations?
