Corporations, Class and Globalization


Assignment #1

1a. In the sweatshops the people got treated poorly. They get extremely little pay, at times it could be lower the 32 cents. Thier houses are flooded most of the time, mold and rot covers the floors, they are even beat in the work area.

1b. I feel that corporations are psychopath for the simple fact that to be considered a psychopath you need to be a human being. A psychopath is a person with no sense, acts out of emotions, and does not have remorse for another human being.

1c. The corporations were basically given human rights because, lawyers several years ago came up with the idea to compare corporations to people, by saying that a corporation is a family so it should be considered a human being as itself. They did this for the sheer fact that they wanted to get out of paying the government.

1d. The corporations say that the people there are in need of care, so they come in and hire people to work in a factory. They say themselves the pay is low...to us, but in factually the pay their getting they cant even survive off it. And when the people start asking for to much, they wrap up the factory and go to another country in need of "help"

1e.Capitalism is the reason corporations can make so much profit and pay so little. In a capitalistic society there are ways to get out of taxes and make maximum profit while harming the envierment without any serious consequences.

1f. Workers in third world countries have extremely little or no rights at all. They are to scared to form a union and rebel, because they will be severely beaten or killed. In their country they just want to work for their pennies an hour and go home to their families to eat the rice they bought with their pay.
