The Corporation
Your final project will be on subjects from this film.
http://thecorporation.com/index.cfm?page_id=314
Make sure you understand terms from the film such as:
Stealth Marketing
Branding
Product Placement
Ethics
Externalities
Corporate social responsibility
Some topics we will explore:
- Labour practices in developing countries - while some argue that paying workers pennies a day to manufacture goods for export actually benefits developing countries and their citizens, others feel that this practice is unfair.
- Ownership of "commons'-some argue that natural resources such as water or air should be publicly-held (i.e., by governments and citizens), others argue that privatizing them (i.e., shifting ownership to private companies) will actually contribute more to their care and protection.
- Advertising to children - while some argue that advertising to children is taking advantage of their lack of cognitive development, others feel it is fair game to help them satisfy needs and wants.
- Social responsibility and accountability - some argue that corporations who do not act responsibly will be "punished by the market" (i.e., consumers will not make purchases if they act unethically), while others feel that governments or citizens should regulate industries and businesses.
- Corporate involvement in government - some argue that corporations are legitimate stakeholders and citizens who are entitled to their say in the democratic process, while others feel that corporate involvement can lead to unfair influence.
- Advertising and public space - Naomi Klein expressed concern that certain forms of advertising and promotions compromise public space, while others (specifically branding) are "invasive." Others feel that advertising is fair game, and even desirable to consumers.
- Influence of corporations on society - some (Chomsky, Klein) have charged corporations, through years of advertising and public relations, with defining people's social roles as consumers and creating beliefs that corporations are responsible for prosperity. The concern is that people are disassociated from one another, and preoccupied with fulfilling needs and wants at the expense of democratic participation, human development, interaction, etc. Those who dispute this claim feel that it is either inaccurate, not a result of corporate actions, or both.
Choose your topic and tell me what you are researching. The project should include some multimedia project.List key words to help you look up information about the topic.Write a statement of purpose about the focused topic.Brainstorm questions about the focused topic. Have a works cited page.
Also today I want you to examine this image and create your own based on one of these companies or one that you choose.

economics subsidy project
Subsidies
A subsidy is essentially a simple idea; give a producer an incentive to produce more than they would normally do. The typical approach is to give the producer a certain amount of money per unit of production. The industry where this has been most obvious is in agriculture where the Common Agricultural Policy is held up as an excellent example of how subsidies can work but have numerous side effects, but the principle also extends to other areas - housing, for example. In the latter case, the problem of rising house prices means that many people just starting work or starting family life find it difficult to 'get on the housing ladder' because there is not much low cost housing available. Some councils have granted planning permission for new housing on the understanding that it is offered for sale for local people only and not at prices above a certain limit. Others are looking for a public subsidy to ensure that low cost housing is made available for those that need it.
When are subsidies appropriate?
The Common Agricultural Policy was devised in the years after the Second World War. The years were one of disruption, re-construction and shortage with rationing widespread. A key post-war strategy was to increase output of agricultural production and to attain a greater degree of self sufficiency in agricultural production. So with this example and that of housing quoted above we can conclude that the market failure is an insufficient amount produced to meet consumer need.
Choose an industry that has a subsidy: describe what the subsidy does and make sure you understand the good points and bad points.
- Understand the nature of a subsidy and how it affects a market
- Understand the incidence of a tax on producers and consumers in a market
- Understand the importance of price elasticity on the outcome of such interventions
- Show some appreciation of the long term implications of policy intervention
Also we will be reading chapters 6 and 16 before the final exam so for the final you will need to know chapters 1-6 and 16 we are going to be watching the film The Corporation as well.
In Chapter 6 we will review
1.types of industrial activity
2.forms of business organizations
3.small and big businesses
4.financing and corporate expansion
Today I want you to understand the difference between:
primary industries
secondary industries
service industries
Here is a good slideshow overview of chapter 6
Also try this economics treasure hunt
And finally here is a practice quiz for what we will learn in chapter 6
And here is a link of corporation connections I want you to select One company and make a similar graph to the one shown here.
