Walmart: Improving My Community

In conclusion, a Walmart would help our community. A Walmart is a good place to shop at. If we could put any other store that would help our community, but a Walmart in my opinion would help Duffield,

If I had the authority to change my community in a positive way some changes I would enforce is volunteer to clean up the trash, organize a special event to raise money to help out around, give food out to the families in need and start a place to help/hand out food to the homeless. Many people don't realize how this could change or how much it would help. If we get people to help out in the community it would make other communities to do it so then the world would be great.

Walmart is known throughout the entire world as one of the most popular chain department stores. Actually, most have probably visited a Walmart store in the past week. Though Walmart stores seem to be a normal part of life the average person more than likely has little knowledge that pertains to Walmart’s success and business culture. This paper will guide one through the history of the organization, why Walmart is successful, what could threaten or open new opportunities, and how might they hold a competitive advantage.

The United States of America represented the land of promise for millions of people around the world, and for many years. For some, the American dream is still existent and continues to lure in millions of immigrants each year. For others however, the American dream is setting, and this might be revealed at several levels, such as the decreasing access to health care, the decreasing quality of the educational act, the decreasing access to jobs or the lower ability for the average citizen to live a life without worry or economic care.

To strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and the community, I would stop police from killing blacks without a reason, cease the interrogation of policeman from stopping us on highways and law enforcement should be on duty often at night.

If I could change one thing about my community, it would be how we deal with the issue of childhood hunger. It often goes unnoticed, but there are many children going hungry at night. It is a real issue in America and here in the Birmingham area. No child should ever go to bed hungry at night wondering where their next meal is going to come from. That is why I believe our business community should partner with local non-profits and churches to develop more community gardens. Community gardens are an affordable way to feed those in need and for children to learn how to grow their own food to support healthier lifestyles. Implementing multiple community gardens in the Birmingham metro area (similar to Jones Valley Farm) would allow children to

What I have done in order to make my school/community a better place is by being me. To be specific I go out of my way to help my community to be a better place. I have joined the California Scholarship Federation (CSF), which is a federation that recognizes students like me living in California that possess high standards in academic scholarship, community service and citizenship through volunteering time and effort to help one's community. I know that when I get older I will help my community grow and thrive into a better place. Simple tasks like being a member at any service or community organization or voting in elections and being a law abiding citizen helps my community and me. I have recently donated blood and have told all friends and

Question- Identify one area of need, and describe how you would address this need in a community setting. Be as specific as

It is said that “The only social responsibility that there is, is to obey laws and pay taxes,” but according to Milton Friedman, “social responsibility is to increase profits.” This kind of responsibility also a form of giving back. Many people believe that the future of Wal-Mart is sustainability. Wal-Mart Stakeholders are the associates, otherwise known as employees, the suppliers, and the investors of this company. I believe that Wal-Mart is doing enough to become more sustainable both locally and globally by the resources, its key stakeholders.

Walmart hurts local communities and drives out small businesses. “In the old days you actually support a family selling electronics or running a general store. But you can’t support a family working at Walmart. The vast majority of the jobs that Walmart create are very low paying. Large numbers of Walmart employees are on welfare, and this is part of the reason why we have seen an expansion in the number of the working poor in America.’-economyincrisis.org

If I could change one thing about my community I would build more homeless shelters. I know they are a couple of homeless shelters in Arizona, but there’s not to many near my neighborhood. I want homeless shelters in my neighborhood than teens and kids can walk or bike to. I believe that we change by serving others and by helping our homeless citizens we can come closer as a community.

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,

If I were Mayor I would make our community healthier by making more public activities in the community for example, having a healthy day which would be on a Sunday. In the healthy day we would have volunteers to come up with the activities that would take place. For the activities we would have more volunteers make fundraisers around the schools and in the stores of Osceola for equipment for the healthy day! I would also make more parks around the community so the people of Osceola can go to other parks not just the parks that we already have!

What improvement would make our community better. Helping people with their homes it would make the community look better. An improvement I would make is more assistance to those in need because they may need home repairs, transportation and help cleaning and cooking.

My final reason is that It would improve Wapello. If we had a Walmart it would make the town more money to improve the water fountains at school or getting better construction equipment so construction gets done more efficient and faster. Also if we had a Walmart more people from Mediapolis would come here
