THE CORPORATION FILM


Havin information from the film "corporations" by Joel Bakan, Mark Achbar, Naomi Klein and Avi lewis were possible to make this analisys.

Making emphasis in the situation of the corporations at the unites states which is considered as the best place to invest, is really important to say that corporations have been growing as a kind of frankestain creation due the fact that the corporations started to look after the idea of been productive more than been kind and understand the role of the personnel. It means that the money and profits left the idea of been familiar corporations.

The incredible thing is that while the corporations started to think more in the production process and the profits with the idea of “more things per men an hour” they started to leave the heart at the association of people, because the managers made that the corporations in their acts cheat or lie trying to achieve profits.

Examples like the one that happens with NIKE where they use the labor force of foreign countries due the low labor cost in the production country such as the ones of Latin America and Africa where they just have to pay low salaries because for the people who live there is more than the money that they can earn in a normal job.

Based on that example, and taking in account that there are many examples like this, the possibility that the companies should be judge and treat as the persons are should be considered and applied and when it happen will be possible to see that the companies will return to the idea of been familiar and where the employees and the environment will be protected. The idea is that corporations could be handled by people but also could be judged like the persons are when they were considered guilty at any rights violation against other corporations or any person who doesn’t receive payroll and the common allowances that anybody receive as an employee. The idea is that companies find the competitive way in legal terms.

In the same way is possible to see that marketing and the treat with customers is really small, it because even they sale the products that are demanded by the society, always corporations win more than the wining of the customers.

There is when is possible to explain that should be a line between corporations and humans in terms of rights, and it means that should exist because from the beginning of the companies, those have been having a transformation and now they act as persons with huge mistakes that affect other people and groups or associations.

From the base of the rights and acts explained before could be explained the idea of that the companies and corporations have to be responsible of their acts even if it is difficult due the fact that now days the governments protect them with regulations that directly benefit the corporation for over the person. Also each entity has rules that had approval from the regulators and every act that they develop is made over the idea of been inside the regulations. The example is the NIKE one where the production in other country isn’t regulated and also because is one of the most important corporations around the world.

The solution to involve the companies in the responsibility of their acts have to be made by the regulations that impose the work with responsibility and respecting the person in terms of producers and clients and imposing that the companies who attempt against the nature or the person should pay any reward. The thing is that in this kind of things, companies create foundations or protect the environment just because the taxes are lower or something like that when the idea is that they act without any economical idea.

Is possible that the corporations respond for their acts if the society all start to demand that idea of protect that the “most important thing is the customer” but also demanding that the companies have to improve in the take care of the employees. It means that the corporations should change the idea of more and more profits in terms of lower labor cost, now they have to think in profits in terms of sales but having everybody happy with a better life condition and been totally legal and moral.

WOMEN MIGRATION


In the topic of migrations is really important have clear the differences between the words because even knowing that those have relations, the meaning are different. The migration is the movement from one place to another in terms of countries and could be forced or voluntary migrations depending on the social, economic and politic situation of the home country and the better situation of the host one. The expatriation consist in a movement that is a decision of the company and one or more of the employees are sending to another country and the overseas is the movement of people looking for new experiences, economic or academic but it has to be on the own decision and responsibility to improve the knowledge’s in other culture.

About women is possible to say that always been an important component of international migration. As of 2000, 49 per cent of all international migrants were women or girls, and the proportion of females among international migrants had reached 51 per cent in more developed regions which are explained by the UN in a survey made in 2004 about the development. The women decision to move has to be much with the culture because they want to leave the places where patriarchal authority tradition and the unpowered situation to have autonomy over the decisions and over the situations still been part of the lives.

In this topic is important take in account that women is a point of interest for the IOM because they had to implant in their life a new role when their family migrate and live theme alone, normally husbands are the responsible of the development of the family, so when they broke up, the woman has to change the way of living and normally start been really alone and without any idea of having any labor, furthermore in a different country.

As a solution for this problem of the women benefits, is possible to see that some countries have been studying new kind of policies where the migrants could be accepted and also the woman could be dignified in salary and social benefits. In china the reform to the economy is already studied to give to the woman a greater participation. For this situation have been really important the intervention of the NGO´s, and the citizens, the schools and the woman themselves because those groups have been making pressure to improve the social policies. As part of the job that the groups interesting in the improvement of the status of the woman migrants is included the effort of the governments to join the international treats and regimes working together between women organizations and the governments to guarantee and protect women equal rights.

With the help of the UN the advancement of the woman position have been realized with the ratification of the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, committing China to the protection of all citizens’ basic rights. This allow the idea and the decision of been equal between genders and the ratification that the woman in terms of migrations has some people who take care about the topic.
