Movie "The Corporation"


Question: Do you think corporations are the root cause of the problem, or is it consumerism, capitalism, or all three?


I think that the three are a complement to create the problem: because the corporation by it self don`t have the complete capacity to become in a problem that we are facing today, but when it is linked with the capitalism the intentions of profit increase and some important things as values an culture can be forgotten anymore the role of consumerism as a helper of corporations to create the culture of buy things we don`t need and it help to corporation to increase its profits

For those reasons we can see that sometimes corporation are only acting by the proper benefits, without thinking in the employees, the community, the investment in the social problems, etc and factors as the capitalism and consumerism are helping it to happen, as something normal without considering the damage.

It is also the big importance that is acquiring today the capitalism and the consumerism that are generating the problem, because the corporations are getting more involved in fulfill the needs of a world dominated by capitalist vision no matter what must be made to achieve these objectives, forgetting important bases such as moral, ethics and transparency

  1. Hi Vivi:

    Nice looking blog.

    I agree with you, Corporations are also influenced by other forces that drive them to grow without boundaries, and in many cases, doing harm, I really appreciated that guy in the movie that had a Carpet company,in which he changed all kinds of procedures to become a green industry, generatin profit for them, but also helping the society.

  2. Hi Vivi,

    I agree with you, I think there is a circle where capitalism feeds consumerism and at the same time, it encorauges corporations to make as much profits as they can without taking into account how can be harmed.

  4. Hi Vivi

    I think that consumerism and capitalism are not really the problem. Those elements are essential in a market economy. Without consumption and capitalist ideology, the big corporations we have today would not exist. I consider that the problem is inside corporations among its members. Sometimes members act for their own benefit regardless of the impacts of their actions. In that aspect I agree with you.
