We Have a Crisis

After watching The Corporation and reading No logos I now realize that there are many issues with corporations and culture. The central theme in No logos and The Corporation is to expose the greed and corruption that these so call legal people are doing to the world. They have essentially reduce some third world nations to corporate farms where they exhausted there natural resources exploit there workers and leave a trail of pollutions just for good measure. Corporations have run amuck in the past fifty years, lobbying for favorable corporate laws to expand their powers and the list goes on forever.

For instances Naomi Klien met a young girl who was assembling cd-rom drives for IBM an impressive skill for a young girl. The girl explains to her that they make computers, but doesn’t know how to operate them. I liken this to a mechanic who knows how to repair cars but don’t know how to drive, it is just backwards to say the least. IBM has done nothing for this young girl but paying her just an enough to eat and still work. Unfortunately her and many like her lives will not change because of the strangle hold these corporations have on labor laws and the never-ending pursuit of profits. Michael Moore said it best,” how much is enough?”

In conclusion It is going to take a powerful minority yes I said minority because the majority is either unaware or just do not care for major changes to take place. What if Americans were working for food would that spark change. What if Americans were working in harmful conditions, would that spark change? What if Americans were the little girl in the third world country with nothing will that spark change? Until we as a people wake up and stand up, we will soon know what it will be like to be that little girl.
