Walmart and technology

Walmart: good or evil? As a college student Walmart is very necessary for my survival. With there low prices and wide variety of items it is an easy choice on where to do my shopping. But, how do they get there prices so low? Ever since the opening of trade with countries like China, Walmart has been bullying smaller manufacturing companies who have come to depend on Walmart's purchases from their country. Their demand for lower prices often drive these businesses into the ground because if they choose not to lower the price then they loose out when Wal-Mart takes their business overseas where the same worker rights don't apply as they do in America. All the while at home avoid laws by claiming rights as if they were one person but face no penalties for laws that normal people must abide by.

The second topic i think might be interesting to research is technology as it relates to communication and society. Is technology really enhancing our quality of life? Or is it something of fictional fantasy where it will be the end of all humanity. I say that technology increases one's quality of life with minimal harm to human society. Society is ever changing and it is in human society to resist change.  So it is only natural for those of the past generations to resist what is coming from technology and what will keep coming.  Due to technology people are living longer, we can no communicate across the entire globe in a matter of seconds, and people are becoming more aware of what is going on outside of their bubble. The use of technology is bringing about a globalization where we as the human race will no longer be divided by culture and color and speech but eventually be one unit living in harmony.
