Blog Post #3: Wal-Mart





For your third blog post, I would like you to first complete the readings for the unit, including "Up Against Wal-Mart." 

Using ideas from the readings as well as your own experience as a Wal-Mart shopper, write a post about how you see the compromise between low prices for consumers and low wages for employees. Is this a fair trade off? Some people can't afford to shop anywhere else, and on black friday we will see the hordes of people waiting to get the best deals. Will you be there, too? Why or why not?

Please use quotes from the texts in your post. You should continue practicing "They Say/I Say" techniques. What do the authors say, and what do you say in response?

Due Monday, November 18th.


Black Friday at Wal-Mart
