Just saw a documentary on CNA, called The Corporation. Its a three part documentary, n this is its 1st part. Self-explanatary, its abt corporations. Started on its definition, then its history, then started to talk abt the the effects corporations are having on the society now. Actually, its more abt bad-mouthing the corporations, just that it have historial, statistical n scientific evidence. Thats where i started to find the program interesting.
Workers are paid mere cents for goods they produced which are sold at retail price of US100+. Corporations are exploiting the the developing countries, going from one desparate, poverty-stricken country to the next, squeezing their strong able-bodied population dry. Also talks abt the pollution problems it has created, like the massive spraying of DDT. Also talks abt the use of some medication on cows that made them produce more milk, but cause them much pain. It also talks abt many other things that the corporations have been doing. Adds up to my frustrations n fear abt the rejection of the kyoto protocol by GW. They are a zillion other environment problems humans have created for ourselves. I dun think i can impact anyone reading this like how the documentary has impacted me. However, i do think that its a problem getting out of hand. Can this planet take anymore of the abuse we have incurred on it? How long more b4 this Earth perish under our very hands??
Plz, i appeal to all reading this. The fact is that the earth is dying at our hands. NO matter big or small, we are all contributing to its death. im not asking any action yet, but at least some conscious tot abt it. Peace to the world =)
