We are considering assigning the book THE CORPORATION for Intro Sociology this year (with bonus points for watching the documentary). Anyone else tried it? We'd be glad to hear your experiences!
Summary of the movie and book for those who don't know it from www.IMBD.com The Corporation (2003) "Since the late 18th century American legal decision that the business corporation organizational model is legally a person, it has become a dominant economic, political and social force around the globe. This film takes an in-depth psychological examination of the organization model through various case studies. What the study illustrates is that in its behaviour, this type of "person" typically acts like a dangerously destructive psychopath without conscience. Furthermore, we see the profound threat this psychopath has for our world and our future, but also how the people with courage, intelligence and determination can do to stop it." PS I love using the google groups as the way to access this group! Erin Steuter Mount Allison University
