My survey about Walmart

               My survey was about Walmart; I asked if they believed if Walmart is killing small businesses. I walked around with a small notebook and personally asked fifty people if they believed Walmart was killing small businesses and what surprised me is out of those fifty people I asked it ended up with me in around thirty conversations, people felt pretty tied to this. Sure I got lots of yes and no replies but what can you expect, I did it around campus. Out of the 50 people I interviewed thirty seven believed Walmart was killing small businesses and that was not a surprise I was expecting the majority to vote this way and these people usually just said yes and gave some common reasons why Walmart is killing small businesses like how they can’t compete with their low prices and wide selection and that is usually what I heard from these people. The thirteen who answered no to this question had lots of reasons and the reasons were pretty diverse. Many believed that the businesses that closed down when Walmart came around were already struggling and while they did not deny that Walmart can be held responsible for closing down a few stores they believe Walmart does not kill all of them or can be held directly responsible for their demise. I was expecting a few more yes responses but all in all the survey went how I thought it was going to go, but what surprised me was how strongly some people feel about it; some people were radical and hated Walmart and the other hand some were totally on the other side willing to fight why Walmart is a good thing, but most of the people I interviewed did not feel that strongly about the subject, they had an opinion and they gave it to me and that was that.
