Transcripts
thank you
good morning Mom good morning leaders so
for today I'm going to make a reflection
video about the documentary film the
preparation but before that let me
introduce myself first I am charging
versus
a first-year college student from ESS 1B
so what are you waiting for let's get
jumped into the reflection video
[Music]
the film The Corporation is a
documentary that explores the nature and
impact of corporations in modern society
the film builds into the history of
Corporations their legal status and
their effects on individuals communities
and the environments
I learned a lot of this film about the
power and influence of Corporations as
well as the mechanisms they use to
maintain their dominance
I also discovered the ways in which
corporations shape our values and
perceptions as well as their as well as
their effects on public health and the
environment
so the field made me realize the share
skills of corporate power and the
importance of reforming our economic
systems and Institute
on the other hand there is a pros and
cons of the corporations
the appearance of Corporations include
their ability to generate wealth and
create jobs as well as
that as well as to find the
technological advancement while as I
watch the film there are many cons
associated with corporations such as
their negative impact on local
governments exploitation of workers
and the prioritizations of prophets over
public well-being
[Music]
so the film's use of case studies and
interviews with experts and activists so
it is very effective not and
illustrating the ways in which these
harms our cause
the film also presents the story of
vocal disaster where thousands of people
were killed or injured due to a chemical
leak and how the corporation responsible
for the accident was able to evade
responsibilities through the legal
system so this case studino is just one
of many examples that the film uses to
demonstrate the ruthless perfect driven
behavior of Corporations
however Global corporations work in a
global
economy like by exploiting lower wage
workers and resources in other countries
and it's very sad as a worker here in
our country
additionally they use complex tax levels
and offshore's accounts to avoid paying
their fair share of taxes
thereby exacerbating economic inequality
both globally and locally
so the film had a profound effect on me
it made me feel angry frustrated
and committed to activism and social
change
it also reinforced my belief that
economic system should serve the public
good
rather than corporate interest
as
I already watched the film it definitely
changed my mind about corporations
because previously I had assumed that
corporations
were simply profit driven entities
however
as I already watched the field
the film gave me a more nuanced
understanding of their role in society
and I now see them as having a much
greater and more Insidious influence
than I previously thought
but despite this limitations no watching
the corporations has left me with a new
perspective on the role of corporations
in society I I also have a better
understanding of the ways in which
corporations can cause harm and the need
for greater regulations
the film also presents the
alternative models of corporate
structures such as the curves and
Cooperative cooperatives that
corporations and Society
in conclusion after watching the film I
am left with a feeling of unease about
the power and influence that these
entities swelled and the ways in which
they can harm individuals communities
and the environment for the sake of
prophet so the film left me with several
questions such as how we can balance the
benefits and Robux of corporate power
and how we can reform our economic
system to better serve the needs of all
members of society
overall the preparation for me is a
powerful and thought-provoking film that
should be seen by anyone who interested
in issues of economic Justice and
corporate power
so I think that's it for my reflection
video about the documentary film The
Corporation I hope you learn a thing
thank you bye
