“The Corporation”: The Idea of the Movie and Analysis

  The movie The corporation gives us a good and clear description of the main processes peculiar to the economy of the majority of states in the world nowadays. It states the fact that business corporations became the leading power. However, it is not the best possible variant. Taking into account the idea that there always should be the leading power, it is possible to say that business corporation as the dominant institution will lead to the decline of society as only mercantile relations would be appreciated. Moreover, men will take care only about money and benefits, and it will result in the destruction of relations between people. One person stated that corporations “have no soul to save, nobody to incarcerate. What does this mean? It is obvious that this statement can be taken as one of the best characteristics of the majority of business corporations nowadays. The first part of the statement means that a corporation does not care about personal feelings, emotions, or some moral aspects of human beings. The only thing it takes into account is a benefit, and that is why all the work of a corporation is subordinated to this issue. Nevertheless, the second part of the statement means that corporations have abilities that are not peculiar to human beings, and that is why accepted norms of behavior cannot be applied to them.
