Personal Global Economy
Many of the items we interact with on a day to day basis are part of our global economy. Evaluate the last ten things you interacted with – clothes, food, electronics.
What countries are your personal global economy made up of? Where is the product manufactured? What is their Country of Origin?
| Item | Country of Origin | Did COE play a role in the purchase? |
| Hand cream | Norway | Yes, I remember Norwegian hand cream brand Neutrogena had become popular in my country some years ago because of their ads using Norwegian fishermen who have soft and smooth hands |
| Perfume | France | Not really, French perfume brands aren’t special I guess |
| Nutella | Italy | Well, Italy’s chocolates are not famous as much as Swiss or Belgian chocolates. I’d say no to this, because I didn’t buy Nutella considering its Country of Origin. |
| Pen | German | Yes, German pens are really the best |
| Smart watch | Japan | Yes, I tend to think Japanese are good at anything related to tech |
| Supplements | Canada | Not really, I didn’t even check its Country of Origin |
| Indian Healing Clay for Face | India | Sort of, because I know India is good in natural products, and herbal cosmetics |
| Athletic apparel | Indonesia | Not really |
| Baklava | Turkey (unlike Greeks argue! Hahah :)) | Yes, Turkish baklava is famous |
| Tzatziki sauce | Greece | Yes, this Greek sauce is the best |
