Optimistic and energetic, Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart Stores Incorporated was a great businessman.

Hotels in the early 1960’s were limited all across the nation because technology and money was limited.  The hotels that were mostly available in big cities and the hotel rooms were not cheap. If you were traveling you had usually (stay in hotel)  pulled in to a motel. People that had a good amount of money would get the big rooms and the smaller ones usually were rented to the middle class people. The big hotel rooms usually contained a bar, television, bed, bathroom and sometimes a balcony. Two of the top hotels were located in Las Vegas and California because they had a lot of tourist attractions. Motels were found more often than hotels because they were cheaper and not as fancy. The motel rooms were usually run down and dirty. The motel rooms usually contained a bed, a television and bathroom. Most of the lower class people stayed it the motels because they couldn’t afford the hotel rooms. By the late 1960’s technology was slowly becoming easier to understand for the younger generation.

In the 1970’s people discovered there was more efficient technology, therefore the government could produce more money.  Most of the hotels and motels were bigger and better then they were in the early 1960’s because the technology was better and there was more money.  The hotels and motels got more business because it was easier to advertise to the public and people made more money then before. Hotels and motels were easier to come by because the business expanded across the nation. People made more money so they spent more traveling across the nation. Hotel rooms were a lot nicer since technology was upgraded. Most of the TVs were bigger then in the 1960’s and had a lot more channels plus they were colored. The motels were bigger and much nicer then in the 1960’s. Most of the business nations wide were more efficient during and after the 1970’s.

In the 1960s technology was still developing and medicine was nothing compared to what it is today. An increasingly mobile population in the United Sates during this time began to demand and improved quality of care in hospital facilities that consisted of an emergency room. Since most of the hospital admissions were elective, these poorly designed emergency rooms were not well equipped and barely had any staff. Despite these impediments patients were increasingly motivated to look for unscheduled care. Emergency room visits quadrupled from1955 to 1970.

As the pressure to provide care to more and more patients grew, hospital began to change their bylaws. Many facilities were short in staff and they had to place doctors in the emergency room regardless of special training or specialty. For several years there were no educational or academic training programs in emergency medicine. Because of these emergency physicians held a meeting in Arlington, Virginia in 1968. Thirty-two physicians from eighteen stated attended this meeting. Thanks to this meeting, they incorporated a national association of emergency physicians called American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). Throughout the years more associations and programs began to develop.

After all Sam Walton lived during trying times. He cared about his community thus providing them with opportunities. He once said “we are all working together; that is the secret, and we will lower the cost of living for everyone, not just in America, but we will give the world an opportunity to see what it is like to save and have a better lifestyle. We are proud of what we have accomplished and we have just begun”. I can say Sam Walton deserves all due respect for his great accomplishments. It can definitely be declared that Walton was a great entrepreneur in business. He was not only able to use his talent to search out and take advantage of new business opportunities, but was also able to develop innovative ways of doing many things in a way that had never been used before. By using his imagination, aggressiveness, and hard work, Walton gave birth to a great industry and all the benefits that would follow, not only financially, but also emotionally.
