The Corporation Documentary gave me a bias insight on the business world. I still keep an open mind about everything in life no matter the things I hear. I'm old fashion when it comes to seeing is believing. Gossip and drama is no way to change what you feel about someone or something. I was offended that a human being would be interviewed and basically come forward and telling the whole world that he has back stabbed and connived people into doing what he wants them to do. According to people like that money is everything right? Well, money is only everything when you make it that way and do whatever it takes to reach your ultimate goal of becoming rich. Since when does greed make you a good person in this world?
It's interesting how we watched this film because I went to California this weekend and attended church on Saturday. The pastor talked about greed and how it effects everyone especially in this economy today. Life isn't about materialistic things and seeing how much money you can make compared to the guy next to you. Life isn't a competition. In the film a guy had stated " We should have faith in the corporate world because it's always going to be there". I agree with this statement and I do have faith in hard working people who are trying their best, but only if they are doing it for the right reasons. Trying to help other's out instead of helping themselves out.
So many consumers get manipulated into buying several products no matter if it's magazine,Internet,newspapers,television, or just walking around and seeing people with media in their hands. It's funny to look around and see people wearing t-shirts with the company name printed on them. My aunt had told my mother that she buys her kids clothes at boutiques now because she doesn't want to pay for clothes and her children becoming walking advertisements. I happen to agree with her and in my closet it is rare for you to find a shirt with a company's name on it. Even a symbol from the company, I started buying plain tees that I enjoy and I;m not advertising anything by wearing it.
It embarrassing to be apart of a country who is full of greed and will test innocence of people to sell their products. I can't change the way the world is , but I can change the way I look at life and I don't have to be apart of how certain people live their lives based on the "green".
