He quit smoking and chewing tobacco just to save up those extra few dollars. Although he was in illegal activities, such as selling alcohol which in that time was illegal, he was a “thug”. He made sure that no matter what he was doing, he accomplished his goal of having money. In the original dream, all the hard work you had to put forth to achieve your goal was like a lesson learned. However, in our century’s corrupted dream, all the struggles are worth it as long as you make it to the riches and the high standards of life. The whole act itself revolves completely out of money.

On the flip side, his investors seem to have unwavering trust in him despite the location of his office, a small

The main purpose or mission of the Greenhill Community Center was to provide human service programs for learning, growth, and enrichment throughout life within an intergenerational setting. The mission seems to fill the need in the demographical setting of the location. The center is located in one of the poorest cities on the East Coast. In the textbook it states a mission as being “the reason an organization exists, and it must be the starting point for its planning.” (Worth, p.172) The mission of the center is very sound, but in the process of hiring a new director, I think the mission focus was lost. I saw a couple of incidences of “mission creep“ in the reading. (Worth, p.173) One being the focus the trustees put on not

With each character that was introduced into the narrative, he was reminded of story after story that has formed him as a pastor. This included the conviction of sin unaddressed (both from and towards others) that was simply swept under the rug instead of graciously and lovingly faced. It consisted of haunting images of different people that were lost along the way, never to be seen again. It was a reminder, however, that God’s church keeps moving, and there is joy in seeing an unstoppable God work in spite of us.

He knew that being a minister, that he needed to confess to God, but did not want to ruin his reputation in the small village he lived in. His decision came

Why did he “[feel] no shame in us and no regret” for he did what law does not say is permitted. He is a criminal, he now learns what he should not learn. This is what the council wants, he feels no shame because he thinks he needs to do what is right for him, he wants to go to the home of the scholars, but his height and ability to learn held him back, the difference that would have made him a great scholar held him back and the council punished him for it? For what he could not control, is the reason for holding him to the street sweepers. shame and regret are only setbacks to him why punish himself if he's doing himself what he needs. why punish anyone for doing what they need?

However, it is possible that instead Hunter is fully aware of what he is doing and has developed a system in which he commits fraud as a way to achieve societal goals of wealth and status.

  1. I think that auditors should be held liable for failing to discover fraud. There are many ways the fraud could have been discovered over the years if the auditors performed an objective audit that followed rules and regulations. It is an auditor’s obligation to perform an audit with objectivity, skepticism, independence, and objectivity. Ernst & Whinney failed to meet these criteria. The auditors did not follow professional skepticism because when Minkow asked them to sign a confidentiality agreement to not follow up with any contractors, insurance companies, or building owners.
