The Corporation review

Nike spends 7 cents an hour for their laborers. A child born without eyes and frogs having more than 4 legs due to unstable chemicals used in companies. Monsanto’s detrimental effects on cows and consumers alike were divulged. Environmental effects, manipulation of marketing to children ($12 billion on advertising), patenting, and IBM’s equipment used by German Nazi’s for tracking the status of prisoners as well were brought up.

The Corporation’s message and aim is near impossible, and how can one survive if people try to dissuade working at big companies despite the horrendous effects on Mother Nature and living things.
