assignment

The easiest assignment that I did in 5a was the first assignment about idioms. We were asked to write three idioms and thier history. In my point of view, the hardest assignment that we did in 5a was writing a critique about the article.
The article was written by intenational student. It was about the international and Us born students relationship.

critique

In my point of view, many family businesses was destroyed by Wallmart arrival. In fact, it's not fair that many families lost their jobs, for another business comes. Alot of families have tried many years to have a sussesful business, so they become really disappointed.

I certenly agree that Wallmart doen't have any benefits for employees. In fact, employees are given a minimum wage and, they aren't given any benefit. Many of them can't afford even doctor's fees. However, the Wallmart owners say, they are really responssible and benefitial for employees.

wallmart

Wallmart is a big American chain store that sells everything such as cloths, foods, elecrical tools, and other things. As it can be seen in the video, after Wallmart arrival many family businesses destroyeds. Some American family are reaaly upset and dissapointed, for they have attempted for many years to have a successful business. For instance, there is an old man who says he was working very hard since 1982 to have a successful business and can serve people in a best way. He added Wallmart chain stores ruined his business and all his attempt that he did in many years.

As it can be shown, people who works in Wallmart are also furious. They want to have union. At first, Wallmart made many promises. It suppose to have many benefits for employees. After a while, employees understand that it isn't true. Wallmart doen't have any benefits for them. For instance, they couldn't get health card, or insurance. Moreover, working in Wallmart is very difficult, for it's always very crowded . Furthermore,The employees don't get paid enough.

However, the Wallmart owners and managers are happy and confident. They says Wallmart havs many benefits for employees and proud of it. Finally, employess feel ignored, not confident, scared and angry. Therefore, they want to have union.
