Domination Metaphor
The domination metaphor is very sad to me. I watched a movie in a marketing class called “The Corporation”. This movie talked about Corporations that used sweatshops that exploited little children. The Corporation Nike breaks down their day in to ten thousandths of a second to increase production. For every shirt these children make they earn .08 cents! The movie talked about using up the resources in this case people. Because as soon as the people realize that they are being mistreated they try and rebel, it usually does not happen though because this is the only income they have and they need corporations like Nike to stay.

That is a pretty sad subject. I watched something similar about Chinese factories that made Mardi Gras beads. They were making little money and even had to live at the factory to earn money for their families. Meanwhile, the filmmaker went to New Orleans and asked if people knew or even cared where the beads came from. Most were shocked and couldn't believe how serious it was. The real problem is their governments and not standing up to big American corporations, mainly because they are being bought.
