Since 1962 Wal-Mart has given us great products for our money, yet people still bash them for reasons I don’t even know. I have gathered some information from a few online sources such as Wikipedia, and Wal-Mart watch to show that Wal-Mart does a lot of productive things for society as well.

What isn’t often said is how much Wal-Mart has contributed to our society by offering low prices on a wide array of goods, and easy access to those goods, to consumers. If Wal-Mart were not offering superior value would you shop there? No!

It’s no secret that Wal-Mart prides itself in being a store that gives back to the community. Given the current economy, how have we stepped up our efforts to help? Wal-Mart does things such as give money and donations to local charities, food banks, like how they give food donations to Neighbor to Neighbor food banks every month hear in Hamilton, or how about how they gave $5000 check to a local charities to help raise awareness of homelessness.

Wal-Mart has taken a step towards being an eco friendly business. It sure is useful to slow down the world and the amount of waste we create. Wal-Mart encourages purchase of their new reusable bags which in itself gets rid of a massive amount of plastic in our landfills. Some Wal-Mart is even powered by wind turbine, and eco friendly roofs. All these little changes have a great affect on our environment.

What do people say about Wal-Mart? The town destroying, junk purveying, labor abusing, sweatshop supporting. Job killing, soul numbing, seizure-inducing, hope curdling, retailer in the known universe. (Just ask around) Basically when you ask someone what they think about Wal-Mart as a business you get a negative response, I don’t believe Wal-Mart is as bad as we make them out to be.

I think we tend to give Wal-Mart a hard time for the same reasons we give anything successful a hard time. It’s our need for something to talk about. Our need for drama, and there is no easier target then a big corporation, because we all know there will be mistakes in them. Wal-Mart has a lot negatives, but we know in everything in this world has something negative about it. We need to look at the other side and see how much Wal-Mart actually does for us.
