Countries are interconnected today as never before. From eating foods from different countries to singing along to songs perform
Nuetrik [128]
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings.  You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.

In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations.  However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.

I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in.  For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.

There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.

As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic.  We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.  

These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).

You have an insurance policy with a $300 premium and a $500 deductible. How much should you expect to pay the insurance company
Aleksandr [31]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks how much you would be paying for insurance with the information given.

<h3>Answer: $300</h3>

The reason why your answer would be $300 is because that's the premium that you would be paying for. The "premium" means the amount you're paying for coverage. The premium could have different coverages that make up the price. The insurance would cover the liabilities that you might have.

People tend to get confused with deductibles. You don't pay monthly for deductibles. Deductibles are a payment that someone needs to pay before an insurance company starts paying for your needs that your coverage provides. For example, if I brake a bone, I would first pay the $500 deductible before the Insurance company starts covering my costs. This is the ensure that the insurance company gets some type of money before they start helping you.

<h3>I hope this helped you out!</h3>
