These corporations need to be destroyed. Why if they exploit people by poisoning our food, child abuse, their political influences and low wages. They have also lost their right to function!
this is the part of the movie that gets to me the most...all these things are unbelievable and these corporations dont feel any guilt its just all about the money but what good would that be if all their consumers are going to be dead by all the crap they put into our environment that hurt humans. We need to stop giving these corporations the blind eye--somethign has to be done this is unacceptable
People get cancer because we live longer and know about cancer. Cancer has always existed. Most cancer patients are 50+. Throughout human history, only a fraction of people lived to see 50+.
@Dorkus89Malorkus Not to say that your wrong, because you are absolutely right, but the rise in cancer occurence can also be traced to the high industrialization of food products and general lifestyles people lead. The consuption of the chemicals, which can be increasingly found in our food (diary, meats, vegetation), can have determintal effects on the human body over long periods of exposure. We are surronded by harmful fumes (cities), which slowly and silently kill us.
@Babyboomer92 so what do you wanna do about it? Chemicals are needed to conserve food. We can't grow our own food in large cities anymore. Fact of the matter is that we live longer this way than we ever have before. It comes at a price but I'd rather take cancer and live to see 70 than grow my own food and starve to death at 25 because the crop failed.
@Dorkus89Malorkus It is not simply conseving food. Chemicals and genetic manipulation is not needed to have a large, successful crop production. Scientific means are being invented to destroy naturally growing crops and replace them with genetically altered seeds that are less nutritious then the natural thing for profit. This documentray names the biggest culprit of this activity, Monsanto. Chemically and genetically altered food is actually causing more problems then solving.
@Babyboomer92 GMO is the only way to keep feeding the exponentially growing population on this planet. I have said for a long time that we shouldn't give any aid at all to poor countries as all we are doing is helping them produce an amount of babies that is not sustainable. And as soon as the population reaches a critical point we will have mass starvation as never seen before.
@Dorkus89Malorkus You are right that GMO are feeding the improverished in the world today, I don't disagree with your assertion BUT it should be done with ETHICAL consideration. That is my point.

@Dorkus89Malorkus We we should be calling for these food distributors and maufacturers not to do all this unethical tampering with the food that is actually causing negative effects on the producers and consumers of the products.
@Babyboomer92 You can. Stop buying stuff from the companies. The market only reacts to loss in profit. Buy your stuff from local farmers, buy "green" food. See how long you can keep it up.
Fact is, it's not possible in our world today. The cities are too large and people don't have time. It's easy to get all nostalgic about medieval Europe where people grew their own crops but what about those massive starvation when the crop didn't go as planned? Whole villages were wiped out.
@Dorkus89Malorkus Sorry, for the long response. I was simply trying to make the point that it is a combination. We all have the probability to have cancer naturally and it does increase with age, but the chances are low. There are external factors that contribute to making the figures of 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women able to get cancer possible that are not natural causes.
I'd like to mention that if you do not want, hormones in your food, or genetically modified food, STOP HAVING CHILDREN, the amount of food produced " the way it's natural" isn't enough to feed the amount of people on earth.
Is it a normal human reaction to want to punch that Michael Walker in the mouth? After all, he's not only espousing slavery, child abuse, human trafficking, etc, but lying in order to pretend the abuse is good for them.

@mrburns805 Because unions are sitting on their hands or have started to function for the well being of the union rather than the workers. Unions sometimes negotiate in ways that do not benefit the workers but themselves. Unions are acting more like corporations each year.
@LancePoint9 I want to point out that the corruption in Unions pales in comparison in any way shape or form to corporations. Unions are smeared in the press despite being responsible for fighting for workers rights. God its morons like you who have no sense of history, do you have any idea what working for corporations pre-union days were like? Workers in the meat market would at times fall into the lard vat, which would be sold and then would tell the family the worker took his check and ran!
@Findyourownway1 I know, which is why I think unions today don't do enough. I am pointing out that Unions are not infallible and that workers can't stop being their own advocates. I've seen a few contracts between workers, unions, and management which only benefited the union financially. I'm hopeful that the OWS movement will help remind Unions of the passion they need in their role as the worker's advocate. That said, when you see a fault in a union, point it out and try to correct it.
Michael Walker from the Fraser Inst is sooo fucked in the head it would be funny if it wasnt so deluded & SICK. He believes in the corporate utopian fantasy 100%. Loser
O please harm to animals. 11:07 You fucking hippies. I'm all about social justice but without experimenting with animals we wouldn't have come near as far as we have in medical advances.
You can sadly say the same for the medical experiments on live inmates during WW2 that happened both in Japan (Unit 731) and Auschwitz and I'm not convinced the Allies didn't have a program like that as well. Do you think the benefits are worth it?
I gotta be honest, the DDT spraying scene made me drop my jaw to the ground.
@CvijaFaQ Your talking about human beings. I'm talking about animals. Little difference there. With animals, yes the benefits are worth it. Nice favorites btw.
Multinational corporations are getting out of control, and then how about the governments? I'm wondering what's the position for individuals to take in this game, if it could be called a game. On the flip side, corporations and governments are consisted of individuals, in what way should an individual behave to protect the environment and in the same time not be beaten down by others.
@SA14253LI The problem is once a corporation gains enough power (particularly in poorer countries), it becomes a government itself, so sets it's own laws which it can choose to disobey etc.
@dreamcastftwb1tch3s I'm not condoning the mistreatment of people- just that given the choice between having people die or having them be able to work in a sweatshop... I pick sweatshop. US and European clothing companies that outsource are the ones responsible for the poor working conditions. Think about the economics of it. The contract goes to the lowest bidder, so the sweatshop has to have zero overhead or else it wont get the contract and it will go to some other sweatshop.
There are many points to make but I'll make this one point. This video
Mentions how we cannot escape laws and wonders why everything is in decline. Well the law of entropy should make it clear that no matter what we do, everything will always be in decline. All we can do is delay the inevitable
Well this is da 1st clip with some merit. Yes other laborers abroad r exploited and are companies should pay for that but da ppl of those nations are exploited by their own government. There's no right to life liberty and the persuit of happiness in china or in many of the places mentioned in this video. Da ppl In china are a means to end for the state!!
@3dkiller its impossible, these corps. are too big to fail, plus they have the gov't on their side. i'd always wonder if one day the entire population didnt work...they need us, we dont need them
@ThePantha2 or one day everyone posts all their info soc sec numbers b day all that good junk the identity theft would crash the economy and why the fuck not id rather die quick and painless than this slow bullshit
i always laugh at those "earth day" propaganda projects. these events are organized by an elite who represent one percent of the world's population yet own over 40% of the resources. then they talk about this "overpopulation problem".
for fucks sake their hypocracy! they are the fucking problem. their consumerist corporate fascism and lifestyle is the problem!!
@LivingDead221 they own probably like 99 percent of the resourses. think about it , they own apsolutely every bank in the world, every oil company, actually every multinacional company, money of every country in the world, trough coruption of politics, even though the money is seemingly in circulation, they can inhale it back to the lungs of their genius system trough artifically designed crisis.,if they wanted they could suck back in every penny of every normal human,and how scary is that...
@ThePantha2 what good will 1million "dollars" in federal reserve notes be when a loaf of bread costs $125 of them? Storing paper money is sure to leave you broke, buying and storing commodities is inflation proof.
"as a consumer, my belief is why should I take any risk" fucking right, I'm disgusted with the attitudes of people who will not question all the garbage which fills our supermarkets and even the so-called health food stores. kids today are so fucked
The statement from 19:20 to 20:30 is almost spot on to a section from the book "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn very good read if this film incites you to change your daily decisions or perhaps for entertainment aswell.
This video really opened my eyes. I was both shocked and amazed. Though the real tragedy here is not what corporations are causing, but that we as a global society have developed a social norm of overlooking such crisis. It's even more disheartening that I myself will cause a paradox that contributes; I'll make minor changes to my life, but remain fairly ignorant of the effects or corporations after the affect of this video wears off.
Speaking as someone who used to work on a dairy farm, the mastitis problem is much, much bigger then most people realize. Personally I refuse to drink any milk bought from any store. And I try to avoid most cheese and other dairy products as well.
I live in a place where there is a dairy that publicly announced it would not use growth hormones the day it was approved for market. They are still keeping that promise. They are the only dairy in this country to get a 100% on the humane inspection. The animals are only given anitbiotics if they are sick, but generally don't get sick because they are being raised the way cows are meant to be.
They are called Kleinpeter Dairy, located in Baton Rouge Louisiana
If you don't like your pay you commie union thug, get a different job. And fires please, like a non profit never had a fire. Corps pay a thing called taxes, they also generate sales taxes that pay for roads, how much do welfare takers pay in tax to use roads. People who don't like the pay, in any country regardless of age can always work somewhere else. And what the hell are parents having 13 years old go to work for anyway, lazy commies.
@stoltzmans Do you take notice of reasoned argument with evidence? Or do you just take in the shit of the likes of Bill O'Reilly? Fucking idiot. Your great American corporations have left your country to give (badly-paid) jobs instead to those foreigners you hate so much. Taking jobs and taxes out of your country.
Being an average person, its impossible to avoid the system that's so harmful and profit hoarding. George Orwell's book, 1984, predicted our future, and the only way to avoid it is to live in the bush far away and have complete independence. People will think your crazy, but eventually some helicopter will see you and someone will find a way to tax you. You would be a very lucky person to have the ability and freedom to do that. I'm hypocritally using the system right now, but I will change.
The Monetary system is beginning to reach it's point of Collaspe. The Federal Reserve note (dollar), is losing it's place as the world's reserve currency. As soon as that happens and other country's stop accepting these owrhtless notes, America will see hyperinflation as never seen before, changing our whole way of life. That's a fact. This will happen with the next 3 to 9 years. Be prepared.
i believe the term of the fed is up in 2012, they had a 99 year agreement. we shall see what happens in the united states, whether or not this issue takes the forefront. we can only hope for the best.
I think any moderately intelligent American knows that all this is going on - most of it you never hear about, like the fines all these companies pay so they can keep breaking the law, but what can an average person do to stop it?
I think our whole ecomonic and social systems are so far in the hole that its going to take an awful long time to shovel ourselves out.
I think the regulations and audits concerning CSR (corporate social responsibility) have to be strengthened. There is already ISO standard for CSR, which is ISO 26000, but does it really work? And also special "psychiatrist" for corporate "legal person" is apparently needed, I guess?
watched the bit on dairy cows at the right time. Just went to get some more coffee, and decided to try it without cream. It's not bad... any other coffee drinkers should put 2 and 2 together and try it without dairy.
I'm not ok with the fact that these people destroy one part of the planet & live so comfy in another part. Not cool. I'm feeling like Kevin Costner right now, "If you build it, they will come" Hold up - Re-re-remix, "If you pollute it - you must live there." Ira Renner isn't it due time you pack it on up from the ginormous crib you have in the Hamptons, NY and move it on down to La Oroya, Peru?
Let's see how willing you are to continue spewing poison once you have to live there yourself.
Those greedy spawns of Satan himself! Yes you, "Mister - I can't make it to see the horrific conditions in the factories that make my clothes but I can make it to go scuba diving in the Caymans". For you, I wish Total Scrotal Implosion or some sort of rectal fungus.
@crysta2k2 Reminds me Of Michael Moore in one of his films when he was talking to Phil Knight of Nike. Michael has 2 tickets to the Sweatshop factory in, I think Indonesia or China. Phil quickly and flatly refused saying he didn't have time...( to visit the factories that make his clothes and shoes). Later on, Phil Calls up Michael and says"Sure i have some time, Im gonna to be going to the Austrailian Open'!
@OQUENDO1968 I remember that! I was floored at the audacity of Mr. Knight and thought, "So he has time to go to watch tennis but not visit the factories that manufacture his products?" Crazy,,,,,
I believe that when this life is over, the tail will be the head and the head the tail. I don't understand how people can love money so much that they can just disregard the suffering of others....

We aren't leaving this legacy for my children because I have vowed not to have any. I can't help looking at your children though and laugh at what you are doing to them and also what I am doing to them, I drive, I buy all this crap, I work for one of the corporations you speak of and I am enjoying watching your demise and helplessness in the face of corporate legalities. muhahahahaha.
My uncle has just has three products and my brother has just made his first product. I am so happy. My uncles products are called Luke, Toby and William and my brothers product is called Louie. I decided a long time ago that it was not worth bringing a product into the world as it will only get worse. Pop em out you product machines.
I got scared by the graphic images so I closed my eyes. After the 3rd photo after a cancerous cell I shut my eyes until the sad music stopped. I hope there's no more sad images after that. And I've seen other shocking images before.
What people need to realise, is that the same peopel who used to run the Roman Empire, the slave trades (of ALL nations and colours), and all the wars that ever there were, are the type of people who join politics and businesses today, so that they can "get a slice of the cake".
The "cake", of course, is your life, my life, and the lives of our children.
I am deeply saddened by videos like this. Not just for sympathy, but because of my SHAME, that i have not helped.
This movie is such a slanted view of the world. The director criticizes companies for paying workers in southeast Asia much lower wages than American workers. The reason is that the cost of living in those countries is significantly lower than America so their wages reflect their daily expenses appropriately. Forcing companies to pay Chinese workers our minimum wage would destroy the incentive they have to open up factories there in the first place.

Yes, but that isn't the purpose of the WTO the purpose of its creation was to help countries that are developing, and turning them into self sustainable countries.
The idea is for the corporations to move in and help raise their standard of living in these third world countries. Instead it is causing them to be stuck in the level that they're at.
Plus the pollution that the factories waste is destroying their environment thus making them worst off, but that's something else.
I used to believe EXACTLY what you just said. That "we" were "helping" foreigners, by givng them "industialisation" and "employment".
Unfortunately, as i get older, every time i hear a politiciian say there should be "more employment", i realise that this is NO different form the Romans, who used to shout "WORK", as they whipped your back !
Increased employment = increased profits = YOU WORK MORE !
There are good people, and bad people - good people WORK, for bad people.
The laws governing corporations should be changed so as to make it so that a corporations must first and foremost operate in accordance with human rights and that comes before any obligation to shareholders.
@kingmafi6699 I think capitalism *could* work if the jobs were kept in the company's own country and enforcement of fair trade laws. Outsourcing of labor. Unfair trade. These are the main problems.
A Capitalist seeks to maximize and extract as much surplus value from workers as he possibly can.
He is not concerned about "fair trade laws" but rather his profit margins. If the capitalist cannot profit from worker exploitation in his own nation then he seeks lands and territories where he can. He can also choose the second option which is to invest in technologies that will allow for few workers and greater productive output per worker.
One thing that should be. If corporations are people. then when they commit horrible crimes against humanity then they should be put to death. They should lose all assets and property of all types and their right to operate ended forever. Also owners of corporations are also people and if they commit crimes against humanity then they should be put to death and lose all money assets and property. of course right wing business people will cry because most of them have murdered a lot of people.
Go to the developing world and ask them how much they hate the corporations that have decided to set up shop there. If they hate the corporations so much they sure have a funny way of showing it, with hundreds of applicants per single job, Id say the corporations create the only opportunity for a better life in the third world. Stop fuckin with these peoples only way out of poverty.
I shop from local family farmers. My car is 16 years old. I dont think all corps are dangerous or radically greedy or corrupt, some are useful. But there are some corps that I do NOT like and actively expose them and vote against them when opportunity arrives. Btw, I bought my winter hat & scarf from a neighbor who knits. Got them for a fair price & they are wonderfully warm. I opt out of mandatory vaccines. I dont take antibiotics on a whim..There are little ways you can make a difference
i think people made a bargain with the devil LOL. u know when you wish for something good like wealth, good loocks and fame and then you get something else terrible along with those things. Like when you ask to be good looking but then the devil also gave you a microscopic penis. like that.
We have become a socipathic, selfish society that has little compunction but to continue our people, our resources and our souls. This jackass Walker is typical of the deranged scumbag Milton Friedman's fascistic free market fundamentalist economic vision which helps the 300 rule the 3 billion with an iron fist.
the problem is the global debt based money system imposed on us by the international banks. Kick those banks out, form a better monetary/exchange system, and these problems would evaporate, almost overnight.
the shit part is that there is no brand that is actually paiyng the people , even nike does shit , THAT FUCKING SUCKS , the whole world sucks when it comes to beeing helpless about choosing a product that can help poor people
I feel like a coward. I'm angry of what is happening in the world but yet I allow this to happen because I contribute to this system. Apathy is definately the thing that is killing this world.
@skullhoof You are not a coward. You merely just have no choice but to give into the corporation and feed into their system because it's the only thing we have right now. We cant go to the grocery store and see a small business item that is family run because it's dominated by corporations. But the government needs to see into this. We have to stand and fight off the corporations, but people jsut want to turn their heads.
@skullhoof yeah, but YOU do have the ability to change things, even if what you do is very small. think of ONE thing and always do that thing. it may not seem like much, but its far more than some people. THAT IS worth something.
@skullhoof well then voice your opinion. Since you've acknowledged it, you would only be a coward if you continued to be apathetic. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! YAY
I feel like a coward. I'm angry over what is happening to the world yet for the sake of earning a living I have to be part of the system which is help them.
I don't suppose that anyone has observed the BLINDING irony of all of this.
Here's a video that supports the view that Govt's and not evil corporations should make more of the decisions in this world. Yet, as an example, they give us the Agent Orange fiasco of the Vietnam war.
Monsanto may have created the chemical, but its the Govt that decided to spray it all over Vietnam. Not to mention the decision to invade the country in the first place. Who's really the psycho here?
@andharvey8 Agreed. The Viet Nam war was an act of genocide, frankly- and I find it ironic that the USA drops two Atomic bombs on Japan for their role in the genocide of over 7 million people, yet 30 years down the line, America pretty much destroys the Viet-Namese culture by killing over 60% of Viet Nam's population. I suggest you read some of the works by Denise Levertov (what were they Like? is one of her best poems)
i think that you've got a very limited and uncreative way of viewing the problem.
the problem is that without peoples' consent, their lives are being manipulated as if they are worth no value other than to generate an artificial form of capital called money, in a system of cost which does not account for social or environmental costs.
it's the value of the people running the institution. don't obsess over semantics.
Are the workers chained to the machines? Were they forced to go to work for they company? What were they doing before the company came down there? Is it better that the corporation leaves?
Do you think it strange that the people in China and India have experienced a radical increase in their standard of living since they started economic reforms in the late 1970's?
19:38 Ray Anderson [citation needed] Those are the words of Ishmael, the book of Daniel Queen. He is just telling the exact words of what the book talks about, with the planes and stuff.
They never actually dispute the fact that workers get better wages and living conditions when corporations invest in a region. Instead they show a man being angry at them for filming in their factory. Yes, the wages are still low and yes, the living conditions are still bad, but corporations have not worsened the situation. On the contrary, corporations have made the situation better. I know that there are massive problems with corporations, but this is not one of them.
It is such a ROYAL BULLCRAP the "think-tank" baldy is saying about Bangladeshi people having nothing to offer but their cheap labour. Come on - if corporations hadn't stripped those countries bare naked, the people wouldn't be miserably poor in the first place. Educate yourself, look up Michael Parenti's "Against Empire".

Workers in the meat market would at times fall into the lard vat, which would be sold and then would tell the family the worker took his check and ran!

@Findyourownway1 I know, which is why I think unions today don't do enough. I am pointing out that Unions are not infallible and that workers can't stop being their own advocates. I've seen a few contracts between workers, unions, and management which only benefited the union financially. I'm hopeful that the OWS movement will help remind Unions of the passion they need in their role as the worker's advocate. That said, when you see a fault in a union, point it out and try to correct it.

Multinational corporations are getting out of control, and then how about the governments? I'm wondering what's the position for individuals to take in this game, if it could be called a game. On the flip side, corporations and governments are consisted of individuals, in what way should an individual behave to protect the environment and in the same time not be beaten down by others.

This movie is such a slanted view of the world. The director criticizes companies for paying workers in southeast Asia much lower wages than American workers. The reason is that the cost of living in those countries is significantly lower than America so their wages reflect their daily expenses appropriately. Forcing companies to pay Chinese workers our minimum wage would destroy the incentive they have to open up factories there in the first place.

Yes, but that isn't the purpose of the WTO the purpose of its creation was to help countries that are developing, and turning them into self sustainable countries.
The idea is for the corporations to move in and help raise their standard of living in these third world countries. Instead it is causing them to be stuck in the level that they're at.
Plus the pollution that the factories waste is destroying their environment thus making them worst off, but that's something else.

A Capitalist seeks to maximize and extract as much surplus value from workers as he possibly can.
He is not concerned about "fair trade laws" but rather his profit margins. If the capitalist cannot profit from worker exploitation in his own nation then he seeks lands and territories where he can. He can also choose the second option which is to invest in technologies that will allow for few workers and greater productive output per worker.

One thing that should be. If corporations are people. then when they commit horrible crimes against humanity then they should be put to death. They should lose all assets and property of all types and their right to operate ended forever.
