PBS Frontline Feature — Is Wal-Mart Good for America?

Here’s another PBS Frontline segment that touches on a number of the things we have or will cover regarding China. It’s titled, “Is Wal-Mart Good For America?” (look for the Watch the Full Program Online note and click on it).

The first part of the segment addresses Wal-Mart’s business in the US, but then the documentary shifts to China and a more global perspective. The segment also visits Shenzhen, an area we will visit, and covers the supply-side of the China/Wal-Mart equation. The segment is very helpful in understading one of the many faces of the China-US business relationship.

Safety in Study and Travel Abroad Video

Here is a safety video you MUST watch in it’s entirety before we leave (it makes some good points and it’s also a Risk Management requirement that you watch it). It’s a 30 minute video. You will need to sign a document that verifies you watched this video (currently located in the Orfalea College Graduate Programs office — stop by during our open hours of operation and you can sign it!).

I appreciate some of the video may not be directly relevant or is common sense, but you would be surprised to learn of some of the poor safety decisions I have seen a minority of students make on this trip over the years.   Per this Risk Management requirement please watch it and glean and apply what you can.  Thank you.  - Professor Carr
