CORPORATIONS, LIFE KILLERS??

How incredible is to realized that now days corporations are not just considered as legal people. It stole the same legal rights of the humab beings, so real that they adopt a criminal sicology, to the point that they are inability of being guilty, they cheat and lie for the profit motivation, inability to follow norms and rules or even boundaries and no long term relationships.

The corporations not even take into the account the environment or the employees that work for them in awful conditions or recieving very law salaries like Nike did with some developing countries where the people who are starving to death, and that they don´t have other choice to earn a painful salary to live.

The problem is the profit motivation, which is the reason for using agresive marketing, manipulating contumers and make our relationships becoming more commercial, creating the need of every single product, and little by little create every situation like an advertising.

Should be a line between actions of the corporation and actions of the individuals?, and at the same time with the role they played in the society?, Yes totally, beacuse at the speed we are going, there will be no difference between the both, and the situations live will be situations created by those corporations whose only goal is to earn a certain quantity of money, that it is a negative consequence too because in some time, somebody will be the owner of everything; not only goods and productions, also human rights, thoughts and live conditions.

How can the world ensure that corporations take responsabilities from their actions?, is very difficult, because this corporations has policies and rules that they must follow even though they are against the world, or againt what is good or bad.

If these corporations manage resources and goals in a way the society goals and their goals fit, it will be more easir to take adavatage of the world development in a way that at the end the situation will be win -win, but actually in my opinion the corporations do not make benefits for the society, because while they are taking away lands in Brazil where the people how work there they need more than these corporations, and while they trashed food instead of giving them to people that they dont have to eat, or while they trashed clothing instead of giving people something to wear, really will be not benefit at all.

The society not only needs little helps like clothing or food, it needs reinvest, support to strenght the gaps it has, at the corporations can give these factors to society.

It is worth so many lives, damage of the environment, reforming the society, and changing people thoughts and need through agressive marketng just for profit? For individual money satisfaction?

No, it depend on us the future managers how to create paths no only for the corporations profits, butl also for the society benefits, better life conditions, and better awarness for the environment.

FEMALE LABOR

The process of migration is not an easy step, this one depends of several factors such as:

• It is a voluntary decision, or the person was push to leave the country.


• The economic situation, that is linked with the social situation.


• The identity that involves culture, langauge, history, ideology and religion.


• The difference of GENDER, being the last one but the most important of all of them.

Talking about gender is important to mark the difference with sex, because sex is the biological difference but gender is the social difference between gender, that is created since history and molded through culture and time.

When a person decides to leave the country complicated and complex but for women not also the obstacles increase, also the vulnerability is one of the most concerning things, because women tend to be more weak in front several situations and people in other countries take advantages of it.

A very clear example is what happen in Sri Lanka, where the majority of migrant women work long hours for low pay. In the article " Advocating for Sri Lanka migrant workers", make a statement about how migrant workers situation leads inexorably back to the state, where Sri Lanka state has three main factors:

• Sri Lanka gender norms


• Women´s lack of participation in national politics


• Sri Lanka disadvantageous position in the international division of labor
  

(Gamburd. R, Michele, Advocating Sri Lanka migrants workers, Critical Assian Estudies, 41: 1 (2009), o61-088)

With the changes of numbers of migrants between gender, the IOM started working for better conditions for migrants. Now days half of the migrant population are women, comparing years ago when it was a male phenomenon. There are several organizations or NGO´s working for this, but the IOM is the most recognized organization to fight for the migrants rights, health, migrant dimension of gender and orientation.

How important is to have an organization like this, becasue if the world is having the phenomenon called globalization, all of us have to work for the consequences even though they are god or bad!, and migration is not only about adopting new culture, languages and way of thinking, countries must have in mind that they are working with human beings, that have essential needs that need to be satisfied and they look the way to satisfied them through work that is a right for all.

At the same time migrants must respect the culture differences when the go to host countries, it is a game that must be played by two and not for one party only.
