Forces Affecting trading in global markets

What products have you bought lately that were made in a different country? What countries produced them? Did you have any difficulty accepting the fact that the product came from there? If presented with the choice, would you rather buy foreign made products with a lower price or American made products with a slightly higher price (assuming they are of the same quality)? Does any of this matter if you are a business owner? Does this matter if you work for a U.S. based company?
