    1. Do you like Walmart? Do you shop there? If so, how frequently? If not, why not?

    2. Is there a Walmart store in your area? If so, has it had any impact on your
    community or on the behavior of local consumers? If there’s no store in your area,
    would you be in favor of Walmart opening one? Explain why or why not.

    3. Is Walmart’s rapid rise to retail dominance a positive or a negative development


    for our society? What does it tell us about capitalism, globalization, and the plight
    of workers?

    4. Can a retailer ever become too large and too powerful?

    5. Is opposition to Walmart’s expansion a legitimate part of the political process or is


    it unfair interference with our market system and a violation of the company’s
    rights? Do opponents of Walmart have any valid concerns?

    6. In 2015, Walmart raised its minimum wage to $9 per hour (up from the federal
    minimum of $7.25). Why do you think Walmart did this, and what impact do you
    think it will have?
