Walmart Affect The Community

Wal-Mart is destroying our, as Americans, culture and environment. Wal-Mart destroys little shops from our towns, shops that were built by natives and hard-working people. Shops that overcame hardships and reasonable competition are being torn apart one by one in order not to cause too many people filing bankruptcy. Wetlands in America are not being taken care of, as they should. Wetlands are homes and safety nets for many animals. Wal-Mart has destroyed many wetlands in order to build a store in some town people do not even want there.

Not only Wal-Mart is saving money for consumers, Wal-Mart creates jobs, improve economic conditions and overall improve the areas in where they operate. Wal-Mart usually open in rural and down trotted areas. A perfect example is Carol Foote. She and her friend Paula Beaulieu started a petition to open a

Walmart is bad for America, as some say. The Globalization essay that was handed out in class had many good points. It states that Walmart puts many smaller businesses out of service. A recent study by

According to UNI report (2012) the presence of Walmart stores in local communities has a devastating impact. Large retailers like Walmart force smaller businesses to close up as they

Is Wal-Mart bad for America? Absolutely not. Wal-Mart has lived up to Sam Walton's promise of affordable goods and services. Every day, shoppers enjoy the low prices of the things they need. In a recent local survey Lisa of Sedalia, MO claims to save at least $1200 a year on prescription medicine from Wal-Mart's pharmacy. Another shopper, found in the automotive corner of the store, stated that he saves approximately $300 dollars a year on engine oil, spark plugs, filters, windshield washer fluid and wiper blades. These are certainly great savings, and many other people

In fact, small businesses are affected by Wal-Mart in an upsetting way. Wal-Mart destroys competitors with

Walmart is the go-to shopping center for most Americans, but are they fully aware of the negative impact Walmart has caused America? Many people shop where they can find everything at once and is in a decent distance from their home, but most shoppers don’t realize what they are really purchasing or the truth about the stores they buy from. If more Americans knew what they were really getting out of their shopping trips at Walmart they probably wouldn’t come back. Walmart has a privative effect on America more than people realize. The people they hurt in the process of trying to “Save money” and “Live Better” are the backbone of the business, the products they sell might as well be used, and their crime rate escalates more and more, and

Wal-Mart is a bad thing for this economy. Our country is based off an economy that supports small business and entrepreneurs. Wal-Mart stunts and doesn’t allow the growth of any small companies, because of their unbeatable prices. How are other people supposed to become business owners? Wal-Mart is also bad for the economy because it doesn’t provide adequate wages or healthcare. With employees being paid so little they won’t be able to spend as much which negatively effects the economy.

One measure is that the revenue isn't ploughed back into our local economy, as all the profit returns to the parent company which is usually located aboard instead of going to the health care and education. Consequently, there will be no improvements in our local services as the money isn't filtered down to our economy. Moreover, Walmart offers services that may not be convenient to a particular type of customers, who feels that they're in their comfort zone when there is maximum personal contact with the salesmen. Also, they feel convenient from the special offers

Not only does Walmart directly affect the economical situation of your community, it also puts significant strain upon the environment we live and depend on. In October of 2004, North America sued Walmart for violating the Clean Water Act CWA in nine states, causing a huge uproar both from the defensive Walmart corporation and more so from the targeted communities. Relying upon a communities oblivion, Walmart takes advantage of the situation in which it's presented, posing a threat to all nearby water supplies because of all the toxins and pesticides literally oozing from Walmart facilities worldwide. Much more costly towards the environment than the tinkling of spare change resounding in our pockets. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that a single Walmart location expends countless amounts of energy to maintain,

The total giving from charitable organizations was $358.38 billion in 2014. There are many different ways that people can go about giving to charity or helping out others in their community. Corporations donate a large sum of money every year to various causes, but if instead they required there workers to complete a certain amount of community service it could make a bigger impact then money can. Customers feel strongly that companies should give back.

Walmart seems to have a store in every city or town that you have ever visited, they’re everywhere and they keep opening more and more stores all over the U.S. and the world. The real question is, does Walmart actually help the local economy? Some think yes, and others are quick to say no. This is because Walmart is a super chain, it’s so large that where ever they open, the area around it changes dramatically. Many businesses like to open near Walmart, because they tend to strive, except for the businesses that are in the same market, in that case Walmart ruins their business.

Throughout me working with Wal-Mart’s assets protection, I feel as though equal pay and internals are the two biggest social issues throughout our agency or the store that I work. It is a Wal-Mart policy that we must not discuss our wages whether good or bad to other employees because everyone doesn't get paid the same amount. This issue mainly comes into place when people do the same job but get paid differently and coworker start to tell each other about there hourly wage. Many people may not see this as a social issue however it is a social issue and at least to my next issue which is internal theft. Internal Theft could be anything including: money, time on the clock, information, supplies, and/or merchandise that

Many reports have been written documenting the economic and eventual social and environmental degradation which occurs when Wal-Mart “comes to town”.

     When you talk about Wal-Mart the first thing that you have to remember is that they are the largest retailer in the world. Wal-Mart employs more people in the United States than any other company and is second only to the federal government in the number of employees that they have on the payroll. These are important facts to consider in that due to their tremendous size, Wal-Mart has an enormous
