I posted my questions on a few boards and I did not recieve any feedback. One said because my questions were too random that it was not understandable what my question was. I guess what I am getting at is... Why do people find other countries more facinating then their own?
Middle class America only used to want to buy stuff that was "Made in the USA". And then Walmart changed all that when they started importing EVERYTHING they stocked from China. And there was a small backlash. But soon everyone was like, "oh well, if it's cheaper I don't care".
And then there are other items that come from European countries like handbags and fancy shoes that are always super expensive. And people use this high expense as a fashion or status symbol. And again people just don't seem to care.
Does this apply to the countries that the product comes from. Do people in Italy have the same regard for the ultra shiek as Americans seem to? Or do people in China want to buy the products that are made from Chinese factories? Does "Made in America" even matter anymore?
I will contiue to ponder this and continue this discussion further.
