CORPORATIONS-ECONOMIC WORLD MONSTERS


Nowadays, Corporations are not what they used to be. they have become in giant powerful entities thirsty for making more and more money every day.
With their legal figure, Corporations are able to have almost the same rights human beings have. Right such as selling, buying, having, among others which make them even stronger i the society because not only they have these rights but they just have one duty which is to generate revenues for the owners.

With Making profits as their only obligation, Corporations have been getting bigger and bigger , locating this duty as a priority and putting everything else on a second place. In other words, for them getting benefits is on the top of the list even above public and human being welfare, which involves damaging and not benefiting others external to the organization in order to achieve what they want.

for instance, not providing the right treatment to employees, clients, are consecuences of the damage caused by these powerful entities who do whatever they want without any punishment.

Publicity and promotion are also a way of deceiving because through media, corporations search for manipulating consumers
mind in order to gain market.


today more companies are being privatized coming from a subsidiary which served to the society to a private company which only serves to its owners. For that reason it is important for the society, victim of these huge corporations to not be influenced by them and to raise against the power of the corporations by not following what companies want people to do.
It is also important for Coroporations to start implementing policies that benefit more the society than their own good, for instance environmental policies to make the company eco-friendly, policies to benefit employees, among others, and that way, corporations would become humanized having not only as their principal goal to make profits but also to benefit society.
