"The Corporation" lessons

"The Corporation" is a really interesting video - it begins with the legal definition of a corporation as a "person," and goes on to make the claim that corporations exhibit behaviours that would classify a human as a psychopath. It includes many interviews with prominent business leaders and media pundits.

A teachers' guide, fully correlated to the Ontario curriculum, is available at http://www.tvo.org/thecorporation/
