CORPORATIONS HAVE NEITHER HEARTS NOR SOULS

What they have are money and power as a direct result of money. This power is generally focused on getting more money. Ethics, morality and decency aren't even in their top twenty priorities. What is in their top twenty however is the appearance of having ethics, morality and decency. This is for the purpose of good public relations and keeping the money tree healthy and productive. Every now and then however they make a little slip and their real selves shine through. Les Wells of Cambridge has written a Letter to the Editor today in the Waterloo Region Record. The title above his Letter is "Corporations must think beyond profits". Basically Mr. Wells is pointing out both the recent issues surrounding Manulife in Waterloo and their use of offshore workers as well as a 2003 movie titled The Corporation. According to the movie most corporations have the same personality as a psychopath. "With Manulife, there is no conscience here, no concern for the Canadians working so diligently to do the best job they can for their employer.". Also according to Mr. Wells it's not just manufacturing jobs going going overseas, it's also high tech jobs. Manulife he refers to as "...another souless corporation driven to make larger profits any way it can.".
