Ethics In Jack London's The Assassination Bureau

Oswald claimed that he was on the first (i.e. ground) floor of the TSBD during the shooting. The official investigators, however, claimed that he was on the sixth floor. There is some evidence for both locations:

Conrad applies an apparently crystal clear literary narrative technique in the tradition of conventional realism, a narrative method that appears deceptively simple. The Secret Agent holds great deal of the social concerns. It is considered supreme masterpieces, it is a brilliantly depicting an ironic narrative of London's seedy and dispossessed underworld of revolutionist and anarchists.

Marx established the ‘Elite Engineered Model’ which encompasses the ruling elite manufacturing certain panics to instil fear in society and divert it away from the real problems they are having. In the scenario of the James Bulger murder, those with high ranking in society involved in the case, for example, police, detectives, press and politicians, created the moral panic of the murder in an attempt to divert the public’s opinion away from the shocking crime of two young boys, just 10 years old, not just abducting a toddler from a busy shopping centre in Liverpool, but also killing him in the most vicious way and dumping his body on train tracks in an attempt to cover up what had happened. This is not the behaviour of children; it is the behaviour of evil.

When keeping this in mind, it is expected that witnesses heard the shot at some

In modern time, the United States is looked at as a country that has an ability to overcome adversity. However, in the middle of the nineteenth century, the civil war proved to divide the nation. When the nation finally came back together, it was broken again shortly after. On April 15th, 1865 the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated at Ford’s Theatre in Washington D.C. This was the first successful attempt to have a president assassinated while in office. After unsuccessful attempts, the first successful assassination of the president pointed out gaping flaws in the government. The first and most obvious flaw was the lack of secret service which provides the president with protection. Also, Lincoln’s assassination exposed the inability for the government to successfully investigate a crime of large magnitude quickly and successfully. Upon further investigation into John Wilkes Booth, it is evident he was not acting alone, and had larger plans to sabotage the government showing the need for a government intelligence agency. Booth and his group’s elaborate plot to take down Lincoln succeeded, sending America into a panic. Among the panic and horror that came with the assassination came the foreshadowing that America needed better presidential protection as well as a centralized investigating entity.

In relationship to ethics, I would like to begin with a quote by human rights activist, Desmond Tutu, “To take a life when a life has been lost is revenge, not justice.”

Oswald defected to the soviet union, Oswald was also shot and killed by club owner Jack Ruby. Ruby was known to have background with the mob, organized crime. This bring about two possible motives behind Oswald doing what he did. During his time with the Soviet Union he could have perfected his marksmanship and also could have been motivated to kill the president. America and the Soviet Union were very much enemies at this time which further supports that they were assisting Oswald. Jack Ruby supports the theory that the mob was behind this. There are a number of reasons why the mob would want to kill Kennedy. Jack Ruby was a nightclub owner he was known to have direct relations with the mob. The mob could have forced him to take out Oswald

Through both the book Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, the issue of human degradation due to unjust or socially inequitable practices is used to connect with the values and beliefs of their respective audiences. This is done through the use of a despotic government controlling its populace, the guilt and paranoia following an action labelled as wrong, or actually wrong, and using women as a driving force for a man’s actions.

“Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem.” This is a direct quote from one of the most notorious men in history, Joseph Stalin. Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union from the mid 1920’s until his death. The period in which he ruled over the Soviet Union was known as the Reign of Terror because he was a malicious leader who was ready to do anything to maintain the level of power he achieved. He will forever be remembered as a cold blooded and heartless leader, who took the lives of millions without remorse. This research paper will cover this notorious and deceitful dictator and his early life, rise to power, his reign of terror, and the aftermath of his actions.

In order to maintain a safe society justice and order must be upheld at all times. Machiavelli agrees with this belief in his “Qualities of a Prince” writing when he says “it is absolutely necessary that he not worry about being considered cruel; for without that reputation he will never keep an army prepared or ready for combat.” Though Machiavelli was speaking about an army, the concept could be applied to society, specifically the death penalty in general. This is because it could be argued that taking another human life is cruel, no matter the circumstances; but if the threat of taking a life is the matter that keeps a potential murderer from

Many of Man's struggles are usually the result of societal standards, control, and punishment. These struggles are present in both One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Crime & Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Through setting and internal monologue, both authors depict the effects of the brutalities of communism on Man's spirituality.

In the short story, “The Bet” by Anton Chekhov, a banker and a young man make a bet with each other based on capital punishment and whether the death penalty is better or worse than life in prison. The terms of the wager state that if the lawyer can live in solitary confinement for fifteen years, he will be given two million dollars. When examining the story, the Marxist lens would offer an insight to the ability of symbols and its forms, styles and, meanings. Chekhov connects these themes by utilizing the literary elements of Power. More specifically the power of money, knowledge, language, and competition.

Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich tells the story of a modern lawman whose sudden mortality forces him to evaluate the worth of his life and the life choices he has. Throughout the novella, Tolstoy reveals social norms and practices blindly followed by those in the upper-middle class. These norms bring to light modernity’s core values, which Tolstoy critiques through the actions Ivan Ilyich takes before his death, Ivan Ilyich’s revelation as he lies on his death bed, and the way Ivan Ilyich’s family, friends, and colleagues react to his illness and eventual death. In fact, The Death of Ivan Ilyich provides a critique on modernity as a whole; Tolstoy condemns the shallow, superficial lives the higher-ups in society lead, spurred on by the idea of modernity.

Murders were not unusual in the “east end” of London. Some historians thinks, there were dozen murders and a few say only five.
