Wal* Mart

I’ve never been to Wal-Mart and I’ve never heard of Wal-Mart before I watched this movie. But I know exactly what Wal-Mart is like because we have the similar corporation in Australia called K Mart. My family goes to K mart monthly because they sell a wide range of things and most of them are cheap. And we always know that K Mart uses cheap labor, in fact, most people know. But I don’t know how serious it is until I watched this movie. Workers have little privacy and they have nearly no rights. When I see the workers in China moving to the dining hall, the whole factory suddenly looked like a Nazi concentration camp. It shocked me! The interviews on small business also shocked me. When I saw they cry, my heart broke into pieces. I never thought of the affect large corporation like Wal-Mart could cause. I always though Wal-Mart is making little money because its’ products cost so little. Then I saw how Wal-Mart is also putting pressure on its own employees, and this really angered me. They give their workers small amount of wages and expect them to work their hardest, it is just immoral. The movie showed some of their employees’ family and some of them are struggling to give their child a better education. Wal-Mart is trading their employees’ future for its profit. And I feel really angry about this. At the end of this movie, it shows how towns are rejecting Wal-Mart all over the country. Many people stand up for themselves and I think this really gave small family owned business hope.
