Documentary Film: "The Corporation"

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the documentary film "The Corporation" demonstrates the way the ideologies of corporations impact society and the public good. The author points out that, in this film, the corporation is analyzed and treated as if it were a person with a personality of a textbook psychopath. The paper relates that corporations manipulate the mass media and the consumers by ignoring social accountability, moral rules and sometimes even direct laws.

From the Paper:

"The corporation is probably the most dominant institution in our society today. It is the most wealthy, powerful, pervasive, and influential institution on earth today. The principal goal of a corporation is to make as much legal monetary profit as possible, regardless of the consequences. It is also an institution legally not concerned with the well being of the society at large. This essay will argue that the limited liability of corporations makes them all-powerful and that it is this status quo that the corporations want to maintain, using propaganda and consumerism in order to do so."
