From history to economics: what do companies do to people?, Reivew on The Corporation

Mark has been working on an economic documentary for a long time, but he did not expect that in fact, it involves a lot of historical content.

Historical content

The documentary explains the characteristics of a group of people (people engaged in business) who set up a business, and they gather together for more profit. Corporate interests override other things.

The people who set up the business (businessmen) are a special group of people

Merchants are insatiable in terms of interests

The labels on some clothes stated that part of the income would be donated to children in the xx area. In fact, 13-year-old child labor was employed in the factories of these brands. I guess I will think about it for a while when I look at similar tags.

The poor can provide merchants as labor

Enterprise development also brings pollution:

Sure enough, petrochemical companies cannot escape being condemned.

Early animation

Countless companies have been fined for pollution, unfair competition and other illegal activities

Companies manipulate the mass media to write the news they want.

The Corporation quotes

Vandana Shiva: Fifteen corporations would like to control the conditions of our life, and millions of people are saying, "Not only do we not need you, we can do it better. We are going to create systems that nourish the earth and nourish human beings". And these are not marginal experiments. They are the mainstay of large numbers of communities across the world. That is where the future lies.
[last lines]

Michael Moore: You know, I've often thought it's very ironic that I'm able to do all this and yet what am I on? I'm on networks. I'm distributed by studios that are owned by large corporate entities. Now, why would they put me out there when I am opposed to everything that they stand for? And I spend my time on their dime opposing what they believe in. Well, it's because they don't believe in anything. They put me on there because they know that there's millions of people that want to see my film or watch the TV show, and so they're gonna make money. And I've been able to get my stuff out there because I'm driving my truck through this incredible flaw in capitalism, the greed flaw. The thing that says that the rich man will sell you the rope to hang himself with if he thinks he make a buck off it. Well, I'm the rope. I hope. I'm part of the rope. And they also believe that when people watch my stuff, or maybe watch this film, or whatever, they think that, you know, they'll watch this and they won't do anything because we've done such a good job of numbing their minds and dumbing them down, you know. People aren't gonna leave the couch and go an do something political. They're convinced of that. I'm convinced of the opposite. I'm convinced that a few people are gonna leave this movie theatre or get up off the couch and go and do something, anything, to get this world back in our hands.
