Wal-Mart, is it good or bad? I didn’t know until recently that Wal-Mart is the most admired company of the United States. Crazy isn’t it? Why crazy? I believe that it’s crazy that so many people love this company that thrives on capitalism simply because of the low prices it provides. What’s crazy to me is that Wal-Mart, an American corporation, bullies it’s fellow Americans.
Many just see the good Wal-Mart brings. Sure it provides low prices, and jobs in the customer service or retail sector. But what about all the people they’re putting out of business? What about other companies that is forced to shut down because Wal-Mart is a bully? What about the disgusting difference between exports versus imports from the United States to China? It is because of corporations like Wal-Mart that China practically owns us. Even American flags flown on Independence Day are made in China!!
China, a communist nation, is welcomed by the United States. We send them products such as cardboard boxes or agriculture products and they send us the end product. We, the United States of America, act more like a third world country than the world power we are.
Wal-Mart is a momentary joy because of the rock bottom prices. But it is corporations like Wal-Mart that will be our downfall. I believe Wal-Mart is bad for America!
P.S. I don't shop there anymore.

ReplyDeleteGenerally, students are split in terms of whether they consider Walmart as a good thing or a bad thing. I see a lot of problems with the way they conduct business, but more and more businesses are using them as a model. Good work. Richard Bobys
Thanks Professor! So, since Walmart is almost anti American, which stores provide more American made products?
