Paper Summary:

In this essay, the author argues that Wal-Mart industries unflinchingly jeopardize the vital civil liberties upon which America is founded. The author makes this point based on the following premises: Premise 1) Wal-Mart condones the use of sweatshop labor for its goods, disrespecting the constitutional clause that all men are created equal; Premise 2) Wal-Mart endangers America's capitalist system by destroying small businesses and creating what is essentially a monopoly; and Premise 3) The construction of hundreds of new stores yearly creates serious environmental issues. In conclusion, the author of the paper suggests that a corporation, which violates such entities as equality, choice, and a healthy environment, simply cannot belong in a nation that holds them in the highest of regards. This, therefore, makes Wal-Mart immoral to the true and patriotic American.

From the Paper:

"As bewildering as it may be, there are many solid arguments against the giant retail chain we have grown so fond of: Wal-Mart. Even less known is the fact that the company unflinchingly jeopardizes such treasured American entities as equality, freedom of choice, and the environment. In the following argument I will use these examples as premises to contend how Wal-Mart is immoral to the patriotic American."
