Is Walmart Good for America?



Walmart has been around now for many years; many people think of Walmart as a huge discount store but there is so much more to Walmart now then just being your local super savings store. The biggest thing that caught my more while watching this video actually learning more about rubbermaid. I never knew the harship Walmart put rubbermaid through back when prices where changing in the past. Nowadays if Walmart was to pull a move like that it would be made into a hige debate and many of us all know that most people wouldnt stand for that. Moves like that are not movees that people would make now; the business world has much more class than that.


Outsourcing has many ups and downs to it, when choosing to outsource you have to realize that there are many factors to it. For instance some advantages to outsoucring is now americans can buy there products at a much cheaper price since the cost of production in third world countries cheap; reason being why the US imports so much. If you may not know the US is an exporting country but for raw materials which is then sent to foreign countries for production.



This video hasnt affected where I will and wont buy things, for me I'll shop around for the best deal and most economical decision rather than buying or not buying because of a companies ethics. For the little guys is where its hard nowadays to open discount stores; where for companies producing the product then sold to Walmart are prospering. Walmart is expanding in my eyes every year, its a business that seems to never fail, as the eye can see there are no flaws.
