Corporation Chapter 1-3


Although the book was more detailed than the film, I preferred the film since it was a lot easier to relate  with visualizations.
 Anyways, the first three chapters taught me how difficult it is to actually construct morals and principles in corporations. Even if the corporations did have certain restraints in themselves, as written in the book, they cannot sacrifice their interests or their shareholders' interests. This reminded me of the 'The Body Shop' story, Rab shared with us the other day. Even though The Body Shop advocates no animal testings, by letting Loreal take hold of the company, that principle will totally contradict its situation since Loreal does conduct animal testings. This is somewhat similar to what Disney does. Although I do love Disney Land and I am well aware of my contradicts , personally I think Disney is one of the darkest and contradictory companies that exist today. Disney is all about the kids, well at least that's what they say. They have cartoons, stuffed animals and create this magical happy kingdom. However, what a lot of people don't know is that Disney has so many sweatshops in third world countries. There are actually small children who should be in school, making these Disney merchandises. Just recently, Selena Gomez, a disney star signed something(I don't know much about the details) with Adidas, another company notorious for its sweatshops. We can see the connection that exists there.

Mcdonalds as well. They say aloud that they donate a bunch of their money to a children's hospital when in reality, they are the ones selling a load of crap food that actually contributes to manymany sicknesses. (It's funny cause I was actually reading the corporation at Mcdonalds the other day.haha)

Corporations have no morals or principles because their actions are based on how much profit they get...Someone(I forgot who) said during a discussion the other day that the corporations' religion was money. I couldn't agree more. They don't care about us or our healths...
However, as stated in the book, the law contributes to the actions of corporations a whole lot. The only way to change the situation is to change the law and to change the law, we need a majority of people to become aware of the situation.
