Brand

I am not interested in products from a famous brand. I believe that those products are always expensive, but they are not as durable as their cheap alternatives/counterparts. When I was in high school, I watched a video about how multinational corporations manufacture their goods in developing countries. Some of them use low-quality materials to make the products. Nonetheless, they still sell their goods for high prices because of their brand-names.

Yesterday, my friend told me that he had bought a costly jacket from a famous brand, while he was travelling in Canada. To me, it was not the best decision. I prefer to spend my money on a cheaper jacket without a brand name . When he asked me of my opinion, I frankly told him what I thought. However, what he said after that seemed to make sense also.

"I used to think like you. Now I think that those branded products are popular for a reason. Some goods are really more durable than their alternatives..."

Maybe my friend had a point, but being a stubborn person myself, I think that I will still stick with cheaper goods.
