I believe that this is a fantastic example of keeping tensions low between 3 neighboring nations who share different cultural values. In this example, NAFTA allowed for the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, to both work together in terms of trade, rather than compete with one another in the North American theatre. If we hadn't had North American trade between the 3 countries, than the U.S. would never have the chance to produce cars in Mexico, giving Mexico more jobs and wealth within their economy, which in turn helps the U.S.

I think this is a great point that shows that international trade has prevented many potential conflicts between nations who would rather seek trade benefits than the detriment from war. Having two countries that would otherwise be enemies trade with one another allows for mutual benefit by keeping tensions low. However, issues can arise in the event that one country begins using their trading relationship to take advantage of the other through corporate espionage.

I also feel that in the U.S. there are states who set themselves up to be more inviting to businesses due to their policies. Take Delaware for example, half of all Fortune 500 companies are based out of Delaware due to the states politics.
