Judging from the Walmart sweatshop incident, it is indeed nonsense to say that Walmart has no responsibility for the sweatshop at all, but if the responsibility lies only with a company like Walmart or Nike, it would be too rash judgment. Think about why Wal-Mart or Nike keep setting up factories overseas in order to keep costs down, while the corresponding foundries have to work longer hours or employ child labor in order to lower prices. Why this is so is due to the fierce competition on the one hand and the infinite demand for lower prices on the other. As someone who sells computers in Zhongguancun said, "If you want a computer for 45,000 yuan, I can match it for you. If you want a good computer for 1,000 or 2,000 yuan, I won't cut corners for you. How can I sell it? Is it losing money to you?" It is people's unlimited greed that creates child labor and sweatshops, and blaming only companies like Wal-Mart or Nike rather than more specific individuals is more of an escape from responsibility and self comfort. It seems that only illusory companies are guilty, and when it comes to individuals, everyone is innocent. Wrong, Everyone Is Guilty!
In this film, a lot of responsibility is simply attributed to The Corporation, but just imagine, if there are no people, where will there be a business? Almost every consumer himself works in a business, so take a look and see this at the bottom of their official website: Big Picture Media Corporation All Rights Reserved. This in itself is an irony. While criticizing the modern business, it operates as a business.
Many parts of this film are good, but the responsibility is only attributed to the management of the company or the company. Are consumers and ordinary employees of the company innocent? Consumers want better, cheaper and more convenient products, and employees want better treatment and salaries. These desires are also the source of some decisions of enterprises. And please remember that the government that advocates the need for greater power in the film does not create any wealth, and the state-owned enterprises that hope to see the situation in China are very clear to everyone. It is true that modern enterprises have more and more problems, but it is completely impossible to deny enterprises or even eliminate (private) enterprises on this basis, because there is no good substitute for enterprises. Utopia is just a utopia after all, you can dream, but don't put it into action, otherwise it will be a disaster, because fantasy always simplifies the problem.
