I have to write a 12 page paper on Wal-Mart and neo-liberalism/globalization and I haven't even started yet :S I just don't know where to start...any ideas?

First thing to do is start collecting data on the history of Walmart. You got to start with the first step.

If you're at a university or something you can try using a search engine like JSTOR (if you guys have a subscription). That usually turns up some interesting leads.

this is why we don't let big businesses like Walmart open up in San Francisco. they will shut down local businesses. i'm not sure why they let so many Starbucks open up in the city.

Yep, getting started is the hardest part sometimes. Sending good vibes.

Although I shop at Walmart, they built their Honolulu and Kona stores on sacred Hawaiian burial grounds without relocating all our dead kapuna. (Whole Foods is doing the same thing)

You should probably read and reference The Long Emergency by James Kunstler. The book is basically about how the world is going to change when the oil supply runs out. A chapter of the book is devoted to suburban sprawl and big-box mass retailers like Wal Mart. Worth a read even if you don't use it for your paper.
