I need a crash course in corporations. What would you recommend I do?

Without knowing exactly what you are wanting to learn about corporations it is hard to answer your question. I'll leave a few links that I hope give you some answers to this question. Next time try to be specific so people can easily provide you answers.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
