The Corporation Video

The corporation video is a very interesting subject that greatly emphasized some important issues, aspects, concerning Human Rights.

The fact that a corporation has the rights as a person is astonishing but also unusual.
Corporations are allowed to sue and be sued by either other coroperations or people. This knowledge really amazes me.

During the corporation video, there was a secret interview with Nike. There was also information about the cheep labor many corporations are involved in. These companies are using people, every day, for hours and hours but paying them only eight cents per an hour. That's absurd. These people are working their ass out every day for eighteen hours but get about three-tens of the product's price they are making.

Such sick people should be in prison. Another type of odd persons that should be punished for their doing and prisoners for life are those who believe that…"in devastation, there is opportunity." The kind of people who think of profit on the expense of other people's hurt. An example is the owner of Fanta Orange. During World War II, the Fanta Orange was also called the Nazi drink because it was sold mostly to Germans. Coca Cola wanted to keep getting a profitable paycheck while people were dying.

Another part in the ideas that really hurt my feelings is the IBM Company, is selling her computers all around the globe with no concern to what it's used for. During World War II the Germans had the IBM computers in every concentration camp. The IBM Company had a contract with the Germans but when they were asked if they have any contracts with the Germans, they denied it even though the contract was told about in a newspaper.
I am relieved, though, that there are some good people that do care and that they have power that helps them make the world a better place. An example for that kind of persons is President Roosevelt; the man had gone against the corporations and their rights. I am very thankful to him.
