should individuals bear any responsability for the actions of a corporation? if so, to what degree?

the corporation that is better known in society as a legal person should not be responsable for the actions that affects in a very deep way the socity. the real guilt is the hands of the people that works for all these companies, the ones who are encharged of taking the decisions and the ones that support them.
is their compromise to work in a clear and fair way, for example ( salaries, products at the right price, manage power...) in order to benefit the society and set an example of social responsability. this will ensure those companies their progress and the satisfaction of their costumers.

  2. I agree with you, corporations, no matter if thay are recognized as legal persons, are managed by individuals (dierctors, employees, or shareholders) that take, support or carrie out decisions for the right functioning of the corporation, often they do everything in order to be successful even if this could affect somenthing else.

  3. I agree with you, because at the end the responsability is in the hands of the ones that are encharged of deciding, and they can go to jail, but the corporation "doesn't have a body to jail neither a soul to save"

  4. Hi everyone

    I think that there should be a more rigid legislation regarding responsibilities within the organizations in order to avoid irresponsible and bad acts. I agree that the state intervention in economic issues is harmful but, since the market and corporations are not perfect there should be a minimum intervention in certain issues mainly to protect consumers. In fact, the deregulation of markets and financial system is one the main causes of the current economic recession.
