Question

Find three products in your home—food, clothing, appliances, electronics, etc.
Speculate how the items arrived at the store.
1) What modes of transportation do you think were used?
2) Why do some goods and ideas travel more easily than others?

Answer 1

What would happen if we no longer traded with other countries?

Answer 2

We wouldn't have any of their stuff. Check your clothes. Anything not made in the USA would be gone. Most electronics are put together in Asia. Your iPhone or any Apple product is made in China. Those would be gone. Video games would be gone.
