article for essay

The article I choose to use in my essay is Quoted in Andy Rowell, “Welcome to Wal-World: Wal-Mart's Inexhaustible March to Conquer the Globe,” The Multinational Monitor, Oct. 1, 2003, p. 13. This article is a pro and con about Walmart. I can use it for evidence in my argument or I can use it to find a good counter-argument. Becuase it has the pro and con I will be able to get a good look at both sides of the argument. It is also full of a lot if good facts that I can use as evidence. One fact that I can use is that walmart watches 45% of its workers quit every year and does nothing to change. Facts like this can really help my argument.

walmart

In the documentary "The High Cost Of Low Prices," it talks about how horrible walmart is. Some reasons why it is so bad is because it puts smaller businesses out of business and they don't treat their employees well. Although it was a good documentary, it was extremely biased which isn't a very good way to argue your point of view. It also appealed to people's emotions which is effective when talking about the low wages and discrimiation that employees of walmart face. At the same time appealing to emotion makes the film a lot less acedemic. At one point the flim blatenly calls a ceo of walmart the devil. Even with all its facts and statistics, this film would have been a better argument with out being biased and didnt appeal so much to emotion.
