Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!! You know, it's interesting to think about our global economy, the factors of production and the controversy that surrounds Wal-Mart. It really is a tough question to answer whether Wal-Mart is Good or Bad for America. Would it make sense to decide we won't import any foreign goods? Of course not, because we certainly want to be able to export our goods too!! Listen to this report by Dave Padilla on how connected our world is today and how simple the export of Oranges can affect our global economy!!
After listening to the report, please respond to the following:
- What impact has the Port of Oakland's Labor Dispute had on Citrus Growers and other jobs around the world?
- What is good about the import/export of goods? What is bad?
- What are the benefits of a company (i.e. Wal-Mart) outsourcing? What are the negative aspects?
- Finally, having taken a day (or a couple days) to think about the documentary we just watched, what is your feeling - Is Wal-Mart Good for America or no? Give one reason you would use to defend your claim!
Thanks!!!
Mr. Rubin
