Film Analysis: The Corporation
Introduction
The Corporation, an infotainment by moviemakers Jennifer Abbott and Mark Achbar and authored by Joel Bakan, explores the legal standard, basically inquiring: if corporations were people, what manner of people would they be? Making use of psychiatrical main beliefs and FBI forensic technics, and through several case studies, the motion picture ascertains that this “being”, the corporation, which has an ever-increasing power over the daily existence of almost all living creatures on earth, would be a sociopath. The case studies consist of a story concerning how two reporters were sacked from Fox News for declining to downplay a story about the risks of a product of Monsanto given to dairy cattle, and another regarding Bolivian employees who confederated to guard their rights on their own water provision. The commonness of corporate control over our lives is looked into by analyzing efforts to manipulate behavior, together with that of children.
The key argument of the infotainment is that, as the corporate legal “body” under current law is regarded to be a person, founded on its characteristics and personality, is a sociopath. Bakan establishes this standpoint on several things but letting the Psychologist tackle the question while the expert deals with psychosis. The major problems of a corporation discussed in the film after assessing “The Corporation” are as follows:
Irresponsibility – The corporation places others at risk in the quest for its own goals.
Manipulativeness - It manipulates individuals to have an opinion in the quest for its goals.
Grandioseness – The corporation at all times asserts that it is the best.
Recklessness - It never takes responsibility for what it does.
