REVIEW
The Corporation is an interesting documentary about corporations. A corporation is a legal entity that has the rights and duties of a person, and it is created for the sole purpose of earning income for its shareholders or owners.
By looking at a corporation as a 'person' and evaluating its characteristics based on case histories, corporations can be diagnosed as a psychopath. A psychopath is uncaring, callous, lacks empathy, lacks emotions, irresponsible, insincere, overconfident, selfish, unable to plan for the future, and can be violent.
