Wal-Mart does not care about the American economy because they are thriving the way the economy is now, so American citizens have to stand up for their communities. According to the book, How Walmart is destroying America and what you can do about it, when you are a huge rich company and all you want to do is get huger and richer, it turns out a lot of smaller, poorer people have to get hurt in the process.

Having such a small amount of people possessing such a large amount of the wealth will pull down society. Our biggest private employer, Walmart, the “Union-busting low-wage retail empire happens to have generated a $200 billion family fortune”, while, not even paying their workers a living wage. People having accumulated all this wealth then use it to pay off politicians to vote and write bills in their favor. America would be better off with the upper class being flushed out of our system.
They form bonds as a group together rather than being forced together. They want to succeed for the whole group as it is a morale boost for everyone to do well and improve cohesiveness. While on the other hand a group that doesn’t want to work together and doesn’t form a loyalty/bond with one another will ultimately put the whole group’s goals behind them and work for themselves. “Related directly to good communication skills are good listening skills. These skills are extremely important in the communication world.” (Ellis, 2009) 3) This basically says that without listening in a group people will never get their opinions heard and ultimately let down the group.
If many players are paying trainers to get them in-shape and trainers are costing a lot of money to inject steroids into players, why should Commisioner Bud Selig care how much the cost of players being tested really is. If players are hurting the game and loosing the game its publicity and its fans, testing players regardless about the money will be a good decision if the league every wants to follow the rules and play the game correctly. This will not hurt the league if this costs them millions of dollars. The only people who are viewing this is a lose if the MLB because they don’t want to put out the money. Players are getting payed enough money by the teams to play good in games without using performance enhancing drugs.

People cannot be millionaires overnight and know how to act when they receive large sums of money. Since most lottery winners tend to be people with average income, they seem to not understand how to manage their money well and that leads to reckless spending. In the Documentary “Reversal of Fortune,” a homeless man is given $100,000 and the man starts spending recklessly, wasting his money on two vehicles, beer and starts spending an average of $10,000 a week. That is an example of what reckless spending can do to a person with money as it changes a person for the worse. The second most common problem that faces the irresponsible winner is erratic behavior.
He stole millions of dollars out of people’s life savings by falsely investing the money they gave him. All for the possession of paper that we give value to. Many took their lives because they had nothing left. In the many ways humans try to be better and more powerful than one another; they can create moral flexibility. This is, in essence, saying that certain rules only apply to everyone else: creating hypocrisy.
Companies’ off-label drugs so that they can make a great deal more profit in the end. This is because instead of just selling and having one drug on the market for one sole purpose, they can have one drug on the market that can be used for several other treatments. Although they cannot legally promote the off-label uses of their drugs to the doctors, some companies take the risk anyways for personal benefits. Take Pfizer for example; they had four off-label drugs out on the market that resulted in making their patients sicker and even causing death for the uses that they were prescribed. This cost Pfizer $2.3 billion dollars.
If you have any doubt that most people believe that telling a little lie is acceptable just look at our court system. Our courts are bogged down with people suing the heartless corporations for outrageous amounts of money. It is similar to Lottery fever and everyone is looking for that big payday by taking advantage of a situation and stretching the truth a little bit. Don’t get me wrong some people genuinely have legitimate cases but a large percentage do not. Heck, those companies can afford to pay so why not.
