Document Summary
Chapter five explains how corporations are powerful and they don"t have any limits , they started to control many things including the public sphere such as parks, subway stations, etc. Bakan talks about how corporations started taking over the education as well by operating schools with the help of the government. Bakan thinks it"s wrong to let corporations take control of schools because they don"t actually operate schools to make students learn and be successful but they do to get profit. Bakan gives an example about the annual vancouver"s children festival, kia was advertising their cars by giving sample toy cars to the kids that were going to the festival so they can get their parents" attention. Raffi is a children"s performer, he was supposed to be at the concert but then he left because he felt disturbed performing at a place which kia was advertising their cars.
