The topic of whether a corporation is an entity or an institution is explored in the movie The

Corporation. Despite having the same legal standing as a person, a corporation is not held to
the same standards of accountability. For instance, a business cannot be jailed for criminal
activity. Former Royal/Dutch Shell Chair Sir Mark Moody-Stuart reminds audiences of the
financial obligations and advantages of the corporate body in his film The Corporation. Only
through the actions of individuals can true corporate social responsibility be attained.
Institutions are made up of people, and the personality of these people defines the institution.
The filmmakers bring up some moral concerns with marketing and advertising. The "Beg
Factor," for instance, illuminates how businesses market to teenagers and kids and enable
them to "nag for their products more effectively." Simply put, companies use nagging and
other antisocial behaviours to influence children's conduct and, in turn, the behaviour of their
parents through television and other media. A candid conversation with market researcher
Lucy Hughes, who works with businesses to "manipulate customers into desiring and
purchasing your stuff," or, as Chomsky puts it, "helps businesses turn individuals into
absolutely mindless consumers of items that they do not want," is included in the section. The
CEO of Big Fat Inc., Jonathan Ressler, also outlines "stealth marketing," a relatively recent
marketing technique that makes use of paid actors to promote goods in interactions and
conversations that appear to be casual in public. The movie challenges us to think about the
danger that covert marketing can represent by tearing apart the social cohesion of our
neighbourhood. What happens when we lose the ability to distinguish between messages
intended to sell products and those in which the messenger only provides an opinion? The
Corporation examines how corporate and governmental functions might converge. Viewers
are introduced to the intricate economics and ethics of public goods and services through
interviews with academics, business leaders, and labour leaders. According to Michael
Walker, "every cubic foot of air, water,." should be held by private individuals. The movie
also shows the housing and security initiatives Pfizer runs in the neighbourhoods surrounding
its New York City facility. It emphasizes how a failed privatization effort in Bolivia
demonstrates how society can revoke a corporation's social license to operate. The Third
Reich used IBM's punch card technology to track detainees in concentration camps, and the
film provides convincing evidence of this. The movie demonstrates how chemical producers
produced goods that they were aware would harm both people and animals. Who is in charge
of producing safe products? How can we defend ourselves against shifts in society choices
and scientific understanding? By detailing the history of patenting information and living
things, Jeremy Rifkin explains the difficulties of intellectual property in The Corporation.
The movie raises the possibility that companies will control the entire genetic code of
everyone on the earth, including humans. One of the underlying messages is that if natural
resources are kept from being replenished, humans would cease to exist. According to the
field, the corporate structures as a whole are defective The corporation, according to the
movie, is the most potent entity in existence today, and its actions ought to worry us. Not
only are they stealing our common wealth, but they have also become a liability and threat to
both our health and the welfare of the environment due to their unrestrained pursuit of profit.
The filmmakers have done a superb job of presenting the most compelling facts in a fast-
paced, stylish movie with bold graphics and a thumping soundtrack, despite the fact that this
argument is obviously not new. The documentary provides interview and historical footage to
support its arguments, and it presents the facts and data in an interesting way. The film is
therefore both convincing and instructive.
The Corporation, a 2003 film by means of Joel Bakan, Mark Achbar, and Jennifer Abbott,
explores how corporate entities can acquire legal status and acquire human rights. It
highlights the social injustices that corporations engage in on the occasion of conducting
business. A firm has a dark side that seeks in order to leave a path of destruction regards to
whenever it engages in a profit-making endeavour, even in the event that it is thought of as a
human being with a conscience. Additionally, it does not experience regret for the purpose of
what it has done wrong, in contrast in order to a regular person. The majority of the time,
businesses want in order to make the maximum money per unit of input used in the
production regards to process. As Sam Gibara, the former CEO and chairman of Good Year
Tires, noted in the review of The Corporation regards to Documentary, employees are aware
that they are not free in order to do as they choose. Companies will go in order to
considerable lengths, as shown in the movie, in order to turn even other people's tragedy in
order to a business opportunity, entirely oblivious in order to what happens in order to others,
as Carlton Brown recalls. The documentary made clear that corporations needed in order to
practice perception regards to control and public relations. I believe that in the event that the
public is aware of the consequences of their activities, firms must at least take some steps in
order to demonstrate social responsibility and environmental sustainability in the event that
they are in order to continue earning sales and profits. I think that in order for the purpose of
corporations in order to continue harming individuals for the purpose of financial gain, they
would also need in order to demonstrate some social responsibility. This is especially true in
the event that there are groups and whistle-blowers available in order to alert the public. I
also think that a corporation's leaders can try in order to set some constructive objectives for
the purpose of it, such aiming for the purpose of long-term sustainability while also trying in
order to make a profit (along the lines of the example of the CEO of Interface in the
documentary). The Corporation regards to clearly uses a variety of aesthetic characteristics in
terms of ethos, pathos, logos, and fallacies, according in order to the evaluations of the film.
Ethos is a documentary in which top business leaders, such Ray Anderson, CEO of Interface
Carpet, offer their perspectives in order to give the movie credibility. The documentary seems
in order to demonstrate pathos on the occasion of those who have stood up for the purpose of
the truth, including Ken Saro Wiwa, Jane Akre, and Steve Wilson, face severe penalties.
According in order to Mark-Moody Stuart, the former chairman of Royal Dutch Shell,
viewers are given an understanding of how firms could promote social vices through a logical
analysis of logos. According in order to Initiative Vice President Lucy Hughes, the
presumption regards to is that businesses think they can force people in order to buy their
goods, whether they are beneficial or detrimental. I am aware that shareholders are mainly
interested in monetary worth and profit, but I think achieving sustainability goals and having
a positive reputation regards to are related in order to profit in the event that customers
choose in order to patronize socially conscious companies. I lean toward thinking that
businesses are not inherently sociopathic, but that their organizational structures lead in order
to undesirable results and that they might alter their behaviour in the event that their
corporate vision regards to is changed or in the event that the consumer base demands it. The
documentary highlights moral questions, however it overemphasizes the idea of managing
public resources while ignoring the social injustices committed by means of these
administrations in the name of doing so. Without discussing its flaws, it also lavishes
communism with adulation. Corporations are, for the purpose of the majority of part,
unconcerned with who is harmed in favour of maximizing the financial return in regards to
every input they employ in manufacturing. In order to ensure that they consider the social
effects of their business operations and that they are not unfairly characterized, corporations
need a legal framework. As part of corporate social responsibility, it is currently required by
means of law that a certain percentage of a company's revenues be donated in order to the
community. Therefore, it is not objective in order to draw the conclusion regards to that
businesses have no morals and only care about making money at the expense of society.
