Singularity

The video “The Singularity” is a very mind boggling video. The more I understood what Ray was talking about the more I became scared and intersected at the same time. I know that may seem weird but if you look at what Ray is saying is that one day well in 20 or more year’s time, knowledge, and technology are all going to combine. If they combine all hell will break loose, we will no longer be human we will basically computer people or minds that run on severs all day long. No feelings to care about not emotions only aloud to upload and download software programs to our server day after day. The cool thing about this is we can live forever and never have to worry about cancer and sickness that will someday kill us. We can live each day as if it’s an easy day no worries. I am not trying to be a wimp about the whole thing but thinking that this may happen in the near future scares the crap out of me. But on the other if we become servers then we will have no emotions and will living with emotions all my life I wouldn’t want to change now. I want to go through life knowing that I have accomplished something even if it means graduating college which is a big step to some people. But most importantly if I could never feel the love of another person or my family then to me that means there is no reason to live in the first. Even if most of your life it is only pain and suffering there is still the point in everyone’s life were they know they are loved. And that is the point I must feel. Life maybe pointless to some people but to me it is the chance to make a difference God gave me live and now he wants to see what I will do with it. But if I was a server I would have no challenges in my life only loneliness.

Wal-mart is it ever going to get better...

As I watched Wal-Mart the high cost of low prices it started out as a documentary it started out as a video on what Wal-Mart is all about by helping the nation and their employers. They started the video with two main ideas Wal-Mart tries upholding are getting their story out and to staying on course. But as the movie continued it started to really frustrate me. Hearing all the stories of people who have lost their jobs they built on their own, to the employees who are being paid unfair wedges. People all around the world are being ripped off by the biggest corporation still being able to bring in money during this economy. Wal-Mart can’t even provide a good health care but it can sure paid there ceo’s all the money they need to live a good life. From private jets, to house that most normally Americans could never afford, Wal-Mart’s mangers are living the good life as their employees get paid dirt. Some parents have to pick form being able to feed there families or to take their sick child people shouldn’t have to choose Wal-Mart should be able to provide for them the money they need to support all their needs. Wal-Mart wants their employers to have to pay for their need will the taxpayers money. They say if it out there then why don’t they use it. Wal-Mart has never cared about there employers only about the money it can put in their pockets. They lie about everything they do only until someone tries to sue them for money for not protecting the environment to they finally try and change what they’re doing. Wal-Mart wants there works to work more for less. Never paying their workers for overtime instead they change their hours to show they only work 40 hours a week. Wal-Mart isn’t making the world a better place instead it is hurting our lives from forcing people out of their jobs. Also any other thing that worries me is how can one place have so many crimes happen and then not change what they’re doing. I have always been a shopper at Wal-Mart but they more I hear about what they do to their employees and to our world it makes me sick I just would like one person to be able to stand up to Wal-Mart’s Ceo’s and show them what America is truly about.

Corporation

In The Corporation Pathology of Commerce the documentary is about the studies of causes and nature and effects of diseases that have been caused by corporations. Corporations are based on people or families working together for a common purpose. Many people associate corporations as being people greedy moral less people. They have come to this conclusion because of the path corporations have followed.

The corporation became in 1712 during the industrial age, and then became more powerful during the civil war. As the corporations have grown they have focus more on the profit then the environment or people. Many corporations also never face the problem at hand from other countries which could be why the problem is so bad once it reaches America. Corporations would only face the problem right away then the problem wouldn’t affect the population so bad. In case history corporations like Nike have employers of other countries making their product for less and once they become to needy they move on to someone else who will work for little to cost at all. Corporations are said to have moral responsibilities but how can a building or a corporation have responsibilities the corporations morals are ran by everyday people, people who have morals there people who are only looking for one thing the bottom line. People once believed that the land was once owned by God and only Gold, and the land owned the people not the people owning the land. But, now most people believe because of corporations everything at one point of time will be owned by someone. Marketing has become more manipulating for children it is about selling the product and making a profit for corporations. Corporations and marketing has started to manipulate consumers to buying more products from what they want and not what they need.
The corporation documentary is explaining the path that corporations have taking over the past year through their good and bad examples this documentary has shown the people what corporations have to deal with everyday. This documentary has walked us through all types of dirty deeds corporations do to just make a profit and how corporations have become so controlling. People have become afraid so afraid with how the corporations are going to affect the world to come. Many are wondering what path the corporations are going to take in the future because already government has lost control of some global corporations. Corporations have told the people that they are here only to look out for the people and their needs but how many times has a corporation truly cared about materials that are beginning put into the environment every day? Corporations must learn to figure these questions out because when people become unhappy with the products being made then the products won’t be bought and no profit would be made.

The Corporation Documentary is very upsetting to hear has a consumer. Listening to all the ways corporations try and wiggle their way into our lives first trying to get the children’s attention by using marketing and second stopping at no cost to get there products sold. As I Listen to the documentary I began to ask myself what time of heartless person could come up with all these cruel ways to make people buy their product. I have always been told that America is the most power and one of the best places to live, but as I watch this video I became disgusted with America we our bullies. Bullies to other countries and to other people that live in America and for only one purpose to sell something don’t get me wrong corporations are good for America by creating jobs and teaching citizens to work as one, but it also teaches them to have no morals. One day many people believe corporations are going to rule the world and at this rate I believe it could happen but only for the worse.
