The corporation

This film showed a very dark side about corporations and their real intentions. Sometimes without any principle of ethics, the corporations pursuit economic goals without caring the most important element which is the consumer.
1. Should corporations be entitled to the same legal rights as individuals? Where the line should be drawn?
According to this film some corporations have interests that are not based in the development and the cooperation between people. Violating human rights and humiliating a specific geographic zone with its population. The interests are pointed to fulfill an economic interest, trying to get a large profit specially lowering the costs at the maximum level. Without caring a human being paying them low wages and making them perform hazardous and inhibited works. They shouldn’t be entitled to the same legal rights as individuals because the greed is involve in every action and strategy. They must be monitored by entities that can punish an inappropriate behavior.
2. How can we ensure corporations are held accountable for their actions?
There organizations that protect the rights of the people and also the wealth of the environment, but to ensure such actions is a very complicated task because there is an explicit objective that is covered by the ambition and make the corporations act in a selfish way in order to achieve those objectives. Disrespecting not only the population but the environment, fact that would affect all of us.
3. Should individuals bear any responsibility for the actions of a corporation? If so, to what degree?
Of course individuals have to bear the responsibility because each person contributes to an objective and all together work to achieve a goal. Each individual is implied especially the high positions or the people that has more decision power.
4. What are the benefits of the corporate form? Could an alternative model offer these as well?
There are some corporations that are making a lot of benefits to their consumers without exploiting and damaging the environment in the process of fabrication. This model is effective because it join many people to pursuit a common goal making the corporation very strong at the time of achieve the expectations.
