Trampled Walmart Worker
The other day in class there was a discussion about the incident on black Friday where a Walmart employee was trampled and died when opening the doors to the store. He died of a heart attack. I think this shows that some Americans can be so greedy and selfish that they would commit insane and immoral acts to satisfy their needs. Jacara argued that the article was not based on the point of views of shoppers but my point is to show that some Americans can be immoral. Of course i cannot judge all Americans based on this one account of immorality. In this case people are bum rushing a Walmart for what they think are "big savings" waiting inside but in reality they're all fooled because there is so much bullshit about black Friday being the day with blowout sales. Black Friday seems more of a hoax to me. People make it seem like there are a lot of savings but stores are not necessarily lowering they're prices, most of them are jacking up the prices beforehand so when theres a "sale" the prices are close to the regulation price.What happened in Walmart is a tragedy but if the government isn't always hyping people up for sales to help the economy, non of this would have happened.
