CORPORATION......sounds like a serious name......well maybe because it is........according to Michael Moore, in his documentary "The Corporation" he describes this entities as bunch of lies, he pretty much describes them as psychopath, yet people keep depositing all of its trust on corporations and see nothing wrong with them.

I been a big fan of all of the documentaries Moore has done, my favorite one definably is Fahrenheit 911. I like the way he says the true up in the front telling what he believes without caring the outcomes. And in this last documentary I saw "The Corporation" he didn’t let me down, The documentary truly outlines the "all-pervasive" role the corporation has taken as the "world's dominant institution". Unfortunely the world now a days are run by a few and we are definably not one of those………. And who are these people..Well just some bad apples.

But maybe these apples don’t really have a shape of a fruit after all, maybe more like the actual corporation since this legal entities are now classified as actual “people” this was all thanks to the signing of the fourteenth amendment, this was done long back, between the years 1890 and 1910 in the name of free slaves. But this defend less little apples took advantage of this and tangle the amendment to include all corporations as individuals, thus allotting the rights of a person to a corporation.

The corporation seems smart,  now I think they don’t really have a soul. The documentary shows us all true behind the brick walls of the corporations, such as the bad operational environment employee’s work under, harms to the environment in the form of dangerous production methods, toxic waste, pollution, synthetic chemicals, even getting to the point of accusing corporation for the cancer epic in United States.  I know Moore intensions is to show the world what the corporations have done….but can they be undone?

OMG!!!!  the most shocking thing I thing corporations have done in today’s world is not how they influences us grown people, but now they are taking over children little minds, Take
for instance the case of toys enthusiastically being advertised in
televisions all the time . It is not a hidden fact that toy
manufacturers expend a lot of money$$$$$ in publicizing
their products… I think this is so influential for kid’s minds, speaking from personal experience (my 5 year old sister)….

Well, in conclusion. CORPORATION wins………………. The rest looses.

In this documentary, corporations are defined as "legal entities" and they meet the clinical definition of psychopathic behavior. Do you agree, why, or why not?

I do agree, I think corporations are taking over Little by Little over this world, and since they are classify as a person, I think know what type of people they are……psychopaths. Some of the labels the film uses to describe psychopath are “callous disregard for the feelings of other people,” “the incapability to maintain human relationships,” “reckless disregard for the safety of others,” “deceitfulness,” “incapability to experience guilt,” and “failure to conform to social norms and respect for the law.”

 I agree with most of this labels, for example   “callous disregard for the feelings of other people” corporation don’t care what or who they have to harm in order to get to the top, its only purpose is to create wealth for its shareholders.  “reckless disregard for the safety of others,” definably true, because all this famous brand we see on our everyday life puts on a front on how they are giving back to the community if we purchase their product, yet most of their products are made abroad paying their employees 10cents an hour in risky working environment and selling the same products for over 100 dollars a and like most  psychopaths , the corporation manipulates everything  in order to get what they want. But I think is a little harsh to judge all corporations an classify them all as psychopath I disagree on this part, because I think there are corporations that do work under good ethics decision making.
