Corporation


hello, today I am going to analyze the topic of corporation, I will answer if they do a good or a bad job and if they are exploited or obliged people to work and achieve objectives almost impossible to reach, based on a movie that we already watched in class and my knowledge that I obtain during the semester; remember that is my point of view.

I have to answer two question and I have four choices:

1. Should corporations be entitled to the same legal rights as individuals? Where should the line be drawn?

The movie showed us all “bad” things that the corporation makes only to get their objectives and have higher incomes. It movie showed that corporations does not have feelings because they do not care about people, corporations cheat on people insomuch they show to the customers as the best of the world and pureness and clearness corps., they do not have global norms that regulates them for example if they made a mistake and they do not have durable relations and the safety of the other because while they came to a country the stay until they begin to lose money or perhaps if they have to pay higher salaries or invest more money social security for their employees.

I think that corporation must be entitled to the same legal rights as individuals, insomuch there is no reason for not do it, if corporation made a mistake he has to pay the cost does not matter if the cost is legal or moral, even the cost must to pay just for the people who did the mistake, those action will be taken by the corporation, if they did it in name of the corp.; and company will take care of them by tickets, or get those people fired and out of the corporation, if those people have personal reasons or just for corrupt to earn a few money and knowing the risks, the government will take care about them(people that basically are involved) and judge as people because it is not corporation’s fault and corporation has to take over mistakes he does for example if corp. does not investigate before and could be his fault to does not see it but the legal issues will are from employees and corporation both as individuals.

2. How can we ensure corporations are held accountable for their actions?

Corporations always have to pay for those things that they made wrong, we are sure that it is, for example when BP had the problem with the petrol that split out in the ocean killing many animals, sea plants, hitting the economy of people that work there, we see that they have to pay for that, they fired their president, they have to fixed the damage and clean the ocean, also have to pay tickets for the damage that they did to the environment and compensate people who work in there like fishermen or people who work in tourism.

If they come to other countries to reduce costs and have “infrahuman” conditions they do not do out the law, they have to accomplish it because if they do not they will have legal problems, if people does not agree with some conditions that the corporation may have it very easy, don’t work there! Go out and get another job. Corporation never obligated people to work there, at the beginning they show you some goals that you have to achieve, you have the option to be agree or disagree, if you are disagree it is easy, don’t work there! Go out and get another job. If you are agree you cannot call it as the corporation obligated you to work there. When corporation makes a mistake they have to pay for that, the government of each country has the obligation to investigate and promote laws to take care of employees.

Migrant





hello, for this week I studied a new topic, migration, after searched and read on the IOM I am going to explain to you what IOM do to improve conditions of women migrant workers.

First, IOM means international organization for migration; it is a migration agency who works looking for benefits for migrants and society, also migration is people who move from some place to another one and survive in the new place.

Basically the problem that I do care about it today is the women migrant workers, if you go to another country and start a new life could be for two reasons; first you are successful and you move because you get a new job does not matter if you are man or woman, second is that you have to move because you have different problems in your home country does not care if the problems are social, economy or security insomuch there are a lot of methods for why another country can invite you to migrant there, for example if you have security problems you have to borrow asylum.

If you are a successful person, let’s talk about women, you have some advantage that the a woman with low incomes cannot have, for example the successful woman comes to the new country and has purchase power, and get a job where she will work probably in a job that she likes and a job for was she had to studied before, the second woman has the issue that she will work not in a job that she picks or what she used to studied before, usually she has to work in something that she did not do before, like taking care of babies or cleaner for example so she is more exposed than the successful woman to be exploited by a company, maybe she has to work more than she´s allow to do or she maybe does not have social security and working in infrahuman conditions.

IOM was created to investigate, study how these migration issues work, and the results was that the women are more exposed than men, also IOM want to care about human rights, IOM look for everybody respects people who are migrants and protect them for be exploited and then reach that every migrant can be feel safe in whatever country where they are, not exposed to big companies that the only thing that they look for is to get more money. The question is IOM have achieve its objectives? Every migrant women worker feel safe does not matter the country she is? I think no.
