The Corporation

The film "The Corporation" touches on a few aspects of culture and identity. The main point of the film was to show that the corporate world is taking over in every aspect of our lives. It focuses and tries to brainwash all generation. The movie was meant as a big warning sign, it was trying to tell us that if there are no limitation put on big corporation they soon will be able to do anything. They are trying "to devour as much profit at any expense" and they are only concerned about "shot term profit" and have no consequences for their actions.The movie compares the corporate world to a big shark ready to attack its prays. There must be some way to stop all the manipulation and brainwashing that big corporations do. There has to b some room for self imagination and self exploration.

The movie touched on a good point, these corporations do produce valuable and good products that help to make the lives of Americans easier and better every day. However, it is never enough product and never enough profit that is being made, which consumes the corporate world all in itself. How can children be creative and be able to find their own identities in a world where everything is being spoon fed to them through the television. Children are becoming the targets for advertising. Commercials are meant for children themselves, to show them that they NEED a toy in order to be liked or popular or cool or whatever the case may be. These techniques are used to make children think they need a product so that they will go an nag their parents, so their parents will go out and but a toy, game or a item of clothing for them. Children are self with no sense of identity when their entire world is based on fitting in and having what the other kids have. I feel that it getting worse and worse every day and it is not only affecting little kids today, but also their parents and their grandparents. I feel that when i was growing up in Europe thing were not this bad. Us kids were left to use our imaginations somehow, to go out and explore different kids of sports, dance activities. We were left to figure ourselves out on our own, where as now it is all about what s on TV or what the latest video game is.

The movie also talks about the corporate world and compares it to a psychopath. It says that corporations, just like psychopaths have the "incapacity to maintain enduring relationships", have "reckless disregard for human health", "incapacity to experience guilt" and "failure to conform to social norms". It is about time that someone in the corporate world answers for all these things and is no longer treated as this Almighty thing that has the same rights as a human being. The fact that these corporations have no regard for human health is mind boggling. The movie said that individuals that work for these corporations might be the sweetest people you meet, but as a whole they turn into monsters. How can a group of decent human beings turn into monsters? Where there is an expression "money talks" and these corporations get so consumed by making profit and making money, getting power, because money is power that they loose a sense of self. Well more restrictions should be put of these corporations and we as people should really think about how this effects us as human beings and us as individuals.
