The Sociopath

I wanted to compare the psychology of a corporation to the mind of a sociopath. The hidden truth is that today's business mentality often proves itself unsustainable, either environmentally or it terms of its human cost. Its exploitative practices can and does lead to the devaluation of humans and their environment. Since the law treats corporations as a single individual and it is granted all rights of a person I considered some of its characteristics to coincide with traits of an individual who has a sociopathic personality. This includes manipulation and conning, the sociopath often sees their victims (resources) as merely instruments to be used, he or she has an extreme sense of entitlement, lack remorse and guilt, and lack the ability to empathize. I believe this applies to the lack of morality and humanity seen in many large businesses like Nestle, Nike, Wal-mart, De Beers, and many others that only see importance in the bottom line.
