And this reaction tells you something important — namely, that the extremists threatening American values are what F.D.R. called “economic royalists,” not the people camping in Zuccotti Park. Consider first how Republican politicians have portrayed the modest-sized if growing demonstrations, which have involved some confrontations with the police — confrontations that seem to have involved a lot of police overreaction — but nothing one could call a riot. And there has in fact been nothing so far to match the behavior of Tea Party crowds in the summer of 2009.

Dependency theory is a body of social science theories predicated on the notion that resources flow from a "periphery" of poor and underdeveloped states to a "core" of wealthy states, enriching the latter at the expense of the former. It is a central contention of dependency theory that poor states are impoverished and rich ones enriched by the way poor states are integrated into the " world system ." The theory arose as a reaction to modernization theory , an earlier theory of development which held that all societies progress through similar stages of development, that today's underdeveloped areas are thus in a similar situation to that of today's developed areas at some time in the past, and that therefore the task in helping the underdeveloped areas out of poverty is to accelerate them along this supposed common path of development, by various means such as investment, technology transfers, and closer integration into the world market.

The List of Psychopathy Symptoms: Hervey Cleckley and Robert Hare | Psychopathyawareness's Blog
“I knew in my heart something was wrong with him (or with her)”.
(Extracted from an article by Robert Matthews in the Sunday Telegraph Review, May 4th 1997) While such personality disorders as psychopathy, paranoia and obsession/compulsion all have strictly defined criteria, psychiatrists are still struggling to decide precisely what constitutes a socialised psychopath. One of the more obvious characteristics of socialised psychopaths is that they give the impression of talking "at" you. Prof Jeremy Coid describes it as like being regarded as a cardboard cut-out. "Even in a sexual relationship with them, you are still just an object for their personal gratification," he says.

The Corporation is a 2003 Canadian documentary film written by University of British Columbia law professor Joel Bakan , and directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott . The documentary examines the modern-day corporation , considering its legal status as a class of person and evaluating its behaviour towards society and the world at large as a psychiatrist might evaluate an ordinary person. This is explored through specific examples. Bakan wrote the book, The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power , during the filming of the documentary. [ edit ] Synopsis The documentary shows the development of the contemporary business corporation, from a legal entity that originated as a government-chartered institution meant to affect specific public functions, to the rise of the modern commercial institution entitled to most of the legal rights of a person.

Originally published: Corporate Rule, March 2011 Using the World Health Organisation's diagnostic check list for personality disorders, film examines the 'personality' of the dominant economic form of our times: the transnational corporation. Established in law as an individual person, freed from regulation and enjoying many of the 'rights' we ascribe to real human individuals, the corporation, as “the institutional embodiment of laissez-faire capitalism”, pursues its singular purpose of achieving ever greater profits with ruthless efficiency. Impacts on the 'third parties' - communities, the environment, its own workers - of a corporation's activities are relegated to the status of 'externalities'.
