Wal-Mart...good or bad!?

People have completely different views about Wal-Mart. Weserville is debating on bringing in a Wal-Mart to the town. Yes, it will bring in jobs and help lower unemployment rate. But also, Wal-Mart treats their workers so unfair, and the way the products are made is horrible because the Chinese that make them get paid less than $1 for their labor. But in America, the poor/poverty rate is so high. Big chain stores like Wal-Mart allow people to shop for necessities that they maybe could not afford in private businesses because of higher prices. Yes, it is so sad that the way the workers are being treated is bad, but the amount of people that benefit from Wal-Mart surpasses the amount of people that are not benefiting. It is sad that not everyone can be happy, but that is how America is, not everyone wins in every situation. I think that it would be a good idea for Weserville to have a Wal-Mart.

  1. I agree that the pros outweigh the cons. Walmart has been know to do damage, but the good that they do is also extremely prominent.
