Should corporations be entitled to the same legal rights as individuals? Wherethe line should be drawn?
I think corporation shouldn’t have the same rights as humans because as simple as that, they are no humans, they do not have feelings and neither moral nor altruistic goals…they are INMORTAL, so how is possible to compare a corporation with a human being? What we are supporting is not the growing of companies but the unmoral sense that a corporation’s wealth and power means rights.
They are institutions managed by people but is not a person; they are entities created with the only purpose of generate profits for its shareholders. They don’t care about destruct the planet or how to help the community because they let other people to be in charge or solve those kinds of problems, even thou they are the cause of those problems.
If we give to corporations the same rights that we have, we are basically given humans rights to superficial economic elements such as capital and property.
I think that the line should be drawn in rights; they could have a company’s right but no let them have rights as individuals. Obviously they should respond for their actions or at least make these people who manage the company responsible. They can’t impose us neither their thinking nor a certain lifestyle. They shouldn’t have total control of our lives.

i agree with you, because as you say company is not a human being, so the it shoul be aimed to the objectives and satisfaction on the companies.
ResponderEliminari agree with you, companies cant have the same rights than us, ours goals are totally different
ResponderEliminari agree with you, corporations should not have the same legal rights as humans because they are just a "fictituous person" that has been created to participate in the business and legal world. We do not aim at the same objectives, therefore, our rights should be different.
ResponderEliminarHi there...
ResponderEliminarWell..i agree in some points with you, corporations are not humans.
BUT, corporations are not always looking for profits or for power. CORPORATIONS = ENTERPRISES are a very important part of economies, globalization and cultural diversity.
Also, there are a LOT of Corporations that take care of the environment.
Look..a NGO is a corporation, they get salaries (not low salaries), they are part of the supply chain process, they supply needs...and some of them take care of the environment.
The corporation when it is created is not a problem, the problem begins when the power and money perception lose their road. There are a lot of Excellent corporations...
By the way...nice blog!
hi
ResponderEliminari agree with you in the point you say that corporations can not have the same rights than humans, but when you say that corporations does not care about the things that they do.
A lots of corporations have programs to protect the environment, so i disagree with you in that point.
