The audience to which this paper is directed towards is the college aged baseball fan in America. They are interested in the game and love to go to the ballpark to watch a game, and if they can’t make it to the game they will try to watch it on TV or catch some of the highlights. They hear the stories about steroids and the various scandals, but don't possess a deep understanding of them. My audience’s attitude towards my culture is admiration for the players and teams. However, likely objections could include the steroid scandals and some fans may be hesitant to accept the fact the these players makes huge salaries each year. Professional baseball players come from all over the world, so while it is likely that my audience share similar backgrounds

Corruption occurs in all walks of life, for example, incorporations, businesses and even school districts. For instance our local school district has been accused of accepting bribes for their own personal gain. The El Paso School District shoes one insurance company over another without thinking of the welfare of others. With this in mind, the pigs would purposely withhold information in order not to get everybody’s input in a situation for the betterment of all. Once corruption is exposed that’s when you have outrage, mistrust and uneasiness in the system. A specific similarity between the superintendent of the El Paso School District and the pigs on “Animal Farm”. The pigs used Ethos, Pathos and Logos to deceive the other animals on the farm The animals were easily manipulated because they were not so educated, they were easily lied and tricked to in thinking the

In the essay “Pigskin, Patriarchy, and Pain,” Don Sabo analyzes and opposes the patriarchal system that urge young men to live in agony and survive through the pain principle in order to have a place in society.

In light of the recent verdict against Essendon due to the drug scandal and the implications it has for both the future of the players involved and the public perception of the AFL, debate has arisen over the fairness of banning 34 past and present players from the 2016 season after being found guilty of taking a banned substance during the 2012 season. In her opinion piece published on the 21st of January 2016, “Banned players are not victims”, author Rita Panahi utilises a harsh and critical tone to convey the viewpoint that the verdict was fair, and that the banning of the players was a just response to the scandal. Panahi’s critical, yet factual, approach seeks to evoke feelings of justice in the reader, likely football fans themselves who may have already grown impatient and angry due to the scandal.

My theme for the story Animal Farm by Greg Orwell is how power can lead to corruption and dictatorship/oppression. I chose this theme because it is very prominent throughout the story. In the story a few examples of this were as follows: Napoleon giving power to the pigs and terrorizing the other animals and creating new laws such as “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.” which displays how the pigs are oppressing the animals by carrying whips around to intimidate them, working them on the bare minimal amount of food they need to not expire, and violating all of the 7 Animalia commandments without remorse. This connects to my claim by displaying how they were being dictators due to the other animals having no say in

Different revelation has been made from the first trail of the local bodies corruption on The FA, Brazilian FA and others to the head of the soccer association. The authors have mainly argued about the effects and the work that have been done to stop corruption from soccer. Although many committees have been formed to investigate the situation of corruption in today’s soccer there have been a very little change to it. I believe the increasing corruption in soccer can have very bad effect on the game which can eventually lose millions of fans and followers. The corruption has caused very negative impact towards the next generation of players and supporters that their favorite game has been ruined mostly by some people with much control on it due to corruption. The main problem that have caused corruption in my view and many of the articles and journals on corruption on soccer is the unmanaged distributions of funds allocated only by certain number of people without discussing with the committee. The sole power of some people like the former president of FIFA Sepp Blatter has caused an unbalance in the account of these bodies. The details of the distribution of funds has to be transparent and selling their votes by taking money from someone has to be stopped in order to make this game meaningful

The sub theme of power corrupting people is very eminent in animal farm. The leaders on the farm - the pigs, were the brains of the farm. The animals let the pigs lead the farm, thereby placing them into a position of power. This power corrupted them as they became more and more greedy and their ideology became more and more corrupted. Also, the pig’s transgressions of the rules of animalism worsen as they grow in power.

Web. 04 Jun 2015 Kibel, Danni. " Animal Farm Theme of Power: Leadership and Corruption” June 2014. Prezi presentation.

The theme of the book Animal Farm is that power always corrupts. There are many instances in the story that imply that “Power always corrupts.” is the true moral of the novel. For example, as early on as chapter 3, the very beginning of animal farm, you see that the pigs have a higher standard of treatment than other animals. “So it was agreed without further argument that the milk and windfall apples ( And also the main crop of apples when they ripened.) ,Should be reserved for the pigs alone.”

Throughout the book of Animal Farm the theme of leadership and corruption is continuous. The animal’s who have the biggest part in both of these major themes are the pigs. Napoleon, for example, takes over as the leader in the beginning of the book and later his leadership methods turn corruptive.

Animal Farm is a novel by George Orwell. It is an allegory in which animals play the roles of Russian revolutionists, and overthrow the human owners of the farm.

According to McMillan and Gandz case study, FIFA has had both the success and its failures with the main issue on the case study been its scandals, which include corruption, bribery, and tax avoidance.
