Black Friday It's Not What It Seems

                                                          Black Friday, It's Not What It Seems

Black Friday is nothing new to Americans. It is the Friday after thanksgiving. Many people don't understand how a day reserved for giving thanks for all the things we have; can be followed by a day we fight for things on sale.

For most stores the sale and madness begins at 12 a.m. and ends at 6 a.m., but for Walmart the rage begins at 10 p.m.. The people in this video they do exactly what is expected... fight. Black Friday is the day where sales go from red (bad) to black (good). The term was truly adopted by the people because of the extreme sales right before Christmas time. I found an article that explains how it went from a huge Macy's sale to black Friday world wide.

In my own opinion black Friday is a very well  thought out plan. As we all no Christmas is in the month of December. This time is filled with kids saying; I want, dear Santa, please mommy, please daddy etc. As you can see it is a time of wanting and giving. People always complain were in a recession, times are hard. We have all made it clear that middle and lower classes have a hard time getting all the things their kids want for Christmas. So why not make a day nationally that puts toys and the nice expensive clothes on sale for 70% off. That is an almost irresistible deal; but wait there is a twist to this offer that is too good too be true. Let's only put out 100 of the most popular barbies this year, the top selling PlayStation game, and the cutest pair of Uggs.

So can you see what I was talking about, it isn't hard to see that this is not generosity it is a show that we put on for them every year.
