Wal-Mart Documentary
Recently I watched the documentary Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price by Robert Greenwald. I was already aware of a lot of the issues brought up by this film but I had no idea of the magnatude this business inflicts on our country and the rest of the world for that matter.
Watch the film and never shop at a Wal-Mart again in your life. But I pose these thoughts to whom ever:
Where do you draw the line on using and buying products made in other countries for lower wages? (How’s that coffee tasting?) How many things do you use in one day that have come from other countries. How many people profited off those items? Who profited and was it fair?
If I had to answer all these questions I think I would have to make my own clothes, not use my Apple PowerBook, wear homemade sandals, walk or ride my bike everywhere, and eat only vegetables I grew myself from my own garden.
My point is where do you draw the line? Regardless of your answer this film will get you thinking as it has for me. Watch it.
