As others before me have mentioned the video greatly showed different crimes that have been done by corporations. Granted we talked about how deviance isn't necessarily bad all the times, I feel that the issues brought up in the video fit into the bad category completely. It is disappointing to see that we are expected to follow such simple rules as say a noise violation, but corporations are allowed to get away with their horrible practices and crimes. Yes some have been fined for their actions, but many of the corporations that were mentioned are well known and are successful, a fine to them is basically just a slap on the wrist. As long as the punishment for the actions these corporations have taken are still minimal corporations will continue these practices into the future.

This video related to the topics we have discussed in class very well. It dealt with and was centered with urbanization and social stratification. I liked how the man had pictures in his presentation because it helped the viewer get an accurate perception of the conditions he was talking about. I was amazed when I heard the statistics in the beginning of the movie and about how many people are moving into these areas, thus building them into highly populated cities. How he used facts and evidence to prove his point, I thought, was very good. He was effective in making his point and regardless if a person agreed with him or not, he was interesting to listen too.
After seeing all this and thinking about it, it made me realize how often we overlook the blessings we have. ALL of us take MANY things for granted and we have more than enough. I liked how this was a great reminder of just how fortunate we truly are.
However, in viewing this clip, it makes me worry that many people are crowded into a constricted place which has many negative outcomes. I am sure the people living in such an environment suffer from health conditions. I am sure that this way of living helps them be more thankful than a lot of us will ever be, but, nonetheless, it is still not healthy. Also, the social stratification taking place here is clearly evident. It seems that this poverty is an endless cycle/circle that is merely impossible to break free of. Do people inhabiting those lands have enough to survive? Are they genuinely happy?
