Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page speech whose purpose is to convince the audience that it should not shop at Wal-Mart. Shoppers may pay low prices for a time, but they can be certain prices will rise in the future. In the meantime, they can pay the taxes that increase as communities find themselves with the need to provide health care or food stamps to Wal-Mart employees, who work full time but cannot earn a living wage.

Still others choose to shop there. The companys choices are based on calculated strategy and are made possible by its vast size. Workers likely are not fully
informed at the time they begin work with Wal-Mart, but they certainly learn as they go. Shoppers, however, are less likely to have access to full information on which
