Is Walmart Really Going Organic and Local?
It is counterintuitive that organic offerings can be found throughout the Walmart and in all categories of food products its only aim is to bring customers everyday low prices, and offer them best prices.The author describes the store with perfect orbs of cabbage and tomatoes, onions and melons. It cannot be describe as a single store as the company sells 18 percent of all the groceries bought in the United States. Both organic and conventional agriculture provide safe, healthy and sustainable products for the customers. It totally depends on the customer what they choose.Walmart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan noted an email by describing that there’s also food that goes to waste in up to seven days of transit.Walmart also supports farmers and their communities by selling 1$billion worth of produce from small and medium farms.

Does Using Paper Take CO2 out of the environment?
It is counterintuitive that most of the energy used in paper production is renewable and carbon intensity is surprisingly low. Paper production is not as harmful as it seems, it even after manufacture, printing, distribution, and eventual disposal, still carry a significant carbon credit. Waste from paper is a big issue. It’s easy to forget that producing of paper also a devastating impact on the world we live in. Luckily, the market for our waste has expanded as Chinese need more and more paper to recycle into cardboard boxes as packaging for the toys and electronics they ship back to us. Chinese people using our waste is better than the alternative: cutting down old- growth forests in their own region. Old-growth forests contain large quantities of carbon and cutting them down and turning them into paper releases all the carbon back in the atmosphere.
Man Defining Rape: A History
It is counterintuitive that men have been deciding when it is okay and when it is not to rape a woman for thousand years. In The Code of Hammurabi it defines rape of virgin as property damage against her father. Under the law of Saxon law the severity of punishment depends upon the type of woman raped- whether she is virgin, a wife, a widow, a nun, or a whore, which is appropriately medieval. In United States some states still had laws that held statutory rape wasn’t rape if the woman was impure. There are different laws for different places like in North Carolina A man can legally rape his wife. At many times woman have to prove herself that she is not lying, someone said she had to prove evidence of semen. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has the ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
The problem with your first Summary, SPatel, is that it doesn’t serve a clear purpose. These Summaries are supposed to be Purposeful, meaning, you eliminate anything from the material that doesn’t serve your purpose. You shape the material to demonstrate ONE IDEA. Your summary covers many topics:
It is counterintuitive that organic offerings can be found throughout the Walmart and in all categories of food products its only aim is to bring customers everyday low prices, and offer them best prices.
—This one is a good start except for your phrasing. Why did you say “AND” its only aim . . . ? I think you want to make the point that you’re surprised to see Walmart featuring organic produce WHICH SEEMS CONTRARY TO ITS PRIMARY POLICY OF OFFERING THE LOWEST-PRICE COMMODITIES.
—But, organic produce is something their customers might still want, right?
—So, maybe, Walmart does want to have organic options, and they will be more expensive than conventional produce, but they’ll STILL BE THE LOWEST PRICES ON ORGANIC PRODUCE?
The author describes the store with perfect orbs of cabbage and tomatoes, onions and melons.
—I don’t see how this contributes to your overall point. Are you skeptical that organic produce could look so good without artificial fertilizers and pesticides?
It cannot be describe as a single store as the company sells 18 percent of all the groceries bought in the United States.
—This seems totally irrelevant to your theme of low prices on desired products . . . UNLESS you want to argue that Walmart CAN OFFER LOWER PRICES ON ORGANIC BECAUSE they command so much of the produce market.
Both organic and conventional agriculture provide safe, healthy and sustainable products for the customers. It totally depends on the customer what they choose.
—True, but irrelevant to your main theme (you only get one main theme for a Purposeful Summary) UNLESS you want to claim that customers have an inexplicable desire for organic produce EVEN THOUGH both alternatives are healthy. Maybe Walmart doesn’t care, as long as they can profit on their customers’ prejudices.
Walmart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan noted an email by describing that there’s also food that goes to waste in up to seven days of transit.
—I don’t see ANY WAY to make this fit your theme.
Walmart also supports farmers and their communities by selling 1$billion worth of produce from small and medium farms.
—This sounds like strong evidence that Walmart is actually devoted to the GOOD PRACTICE of buying local produce AND that you might think IT’S NOT AS SURPRISING AS YOU THOUGHT that Walmart might be a big advocate of Organic and Local foods (as long as they’re profitable!).
Overall, Walmart exists to generate profit, not social change.
—So, what you mean to say, and haven’t yet said, and need to say, is that we’ve misunderstood Walmart. Of course they’ll promote organic produce. Consumers want it. They’re willing to pay more for it. And we can STILL sell it cheaper than other outlets for organic produce.
As the company tailors its offerings to each region, it will essentially sell whatever its customer wants, as long as there’s a profit to be made.
—Yeah. Like that.
Does that help, SPatel?
You won’t get similar guidance on the other two Summaries, but you should be able to apply that advice to the rest of the assignment. I’ll change your grade if you revise all three and let me know you’ve done so.
