Wal-Mart: Good, Evil, or Simply Misunderstood?
So, we started a documentary today, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Living. We will finish watching it on Thursday, but I need everyone to watch a Frontline episode about Wal-Mart (60 minutes, viewable online, read an excerpt here.) that is more objective. Also read a critique by Tucker Carlson here. Please do so BEFORE Friday. On Friday, we'll watch a Penn & Teller BS episode (I have to edit it during playback) that attacks the documentary. Here is a review of the P&T episode. You'll have to write a SHORT paper, due Wednesday. If you are interested in what I showed in class today, check out the Target Virus and Wal-Mart Virus. And please remember that we have the FInal Exam in 2 weeks, while you AP test-takers have less than 3 weeks to test day. Chew some gum!
