Chapter 11, Towards an Uncertain Future looks into some more modern issues that have occurred or are occurring in Latin America. Economic situations, lead to further conflicts in regions across Latin America. These conflicts have lead to corruption in the governments, revolts, and riots, all which have contributed to major changes throughout the region. These reactions could be classified as political discontent. It has been found that North America has had implications, and major contributions to Latin America. As migration from Latin America to North America, specifically the United States required created a pattern of new work positions such as agricultural or services industry. Document 11.1 Summary of Judgment & Order of Superior Court of Nueva Loja, Aguinda v. ChevronTexaco showed the specific details of Chevrons case, in terms of his liability, misconduct, and legal defenses. In the liability section, it stated how they were fully aware of all issues that were harmful/damaging but continued to use them to the fact that it was “least” expensive. The fact that they were not meeting health or safety regulations, and inflicting environmental harm but still Chevron has the nerve to attempt justify that fact that they are not to be held liable. Overall, I find this document to be very complex and somewhat upsetting, as corporate law is often is often in a way corrupt itself, it is difficult to legally compete against them. Many large corporations seem to always find a way out of “sticky” situations, even though the majority knows that there is definitely wrongs being down by these companies, they are often just to power to stand up against. I find that the modern day world is fun by large companies such as these; they hold power, almost more power than the government. I know in the United States this is the case, and I would be interested in finding out if in Latin America is also in a situation, were large companies such as ChevronTexaco hold a large deal of power in the region. While reading many of the documents from this textbook throughout the term, it appears the power is often placed in the hands of people who abuse it, or miss use it. The rulers who have abused their power, often have left identifiable signs of corruption in the their government systems. Large companies will continue to ignore rules and regulations, and fight backing from accepting the consequences.
