When I came here, I always wondered why some people didn’t like Wal-Mart, even though many people are using it. After reading this article, I could learn why. People who live in Murphysboro have different options between agreeing and disagreeing to building Wal-Mart. Some people said that Murphysboro is not a good place for Wal-Mart; also, it will make a traffic jam in Murphysboro. On the other hand, after building Wal-Mart in Murphysboro, there are factors about business development and increasing sales taxes. However, while Wal-Mart was trying to get permission from the government of Murphysboro, Wal-Mart did not tell the inhabitants. Wal-Mart advanced a secret meeting with members of the public works committee for building in Murphysboro without the mayor or inhabitants. Therefore, the mayor couldn’t know about this situation, so the mayor announced to inhabitants about building at Murphysboro because of the Freedom of Information Act request. Finally, Wal-Mart decided to build in Jackson County instead of Murphysboro.

I plan on writing about a solution to the problems of Wal-Mart Supercenter at Carbondale-Murphysboro, in Jackson County. First, Wal-Mart tried to build using illegal behavior, even though Murphysboro doesn’t need Wal-Mart. For example, Wal-Mart didn’t tell people, and they advanced a secret meeting without the inhabitants. Wal-Mart should tell them even if they don’t like Wal-Mart. Second, the mayor should find a good way to get profit to Murphysboro. Third, the inhabitants should think about how to make better use of Wal-Mart.
I have found why some people don’t like Wal-Mart even though it is a very convenient store. It is obvious that Wal-Mart can give us much profit, but Wal-Mart should be an ethical store.
