Scandal Analysis

Another event that led to the Rampart scandal was in November 6, 1997 when $722,000 was stolen from a Bank of America in Los Angeles. Later the bank manager confessed that her boyfriend, a LAPD officer, played a major role and planned the robbery. The officer was taken to prison for 14 years.

There once was a young man named Rod. Rod had worked hard for the majority of his life. He was born into a poorer family in Chicago. He took odd jobs growing up and later in life went into politics. His life was looking up he had made a name for himself and decided to run for Governor. He won and was then given a chance to decide who would fill the new president's seat in the senate. Instead of picking a member of his party, or picking the most qualified candidate he decided to accept a bribe, almost like a payment, for the seat. Now one might recognize this story. It’s the story of Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois Governor who was impeached from office under an unanimous vote, and imprisoned for 14 years on many charges including corruption.

America loves a scandal. After all, what do most people think of when this question is brought up: What does Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy have in common, besides the fact that they were both Presidents of The United States of America? They are men who excelled in their job yet both had a blemish on their previously near perfect reputation that society viewed as a letdown. Both men had scandals that involved women; Monica Lewinsky and Marilyn Monroe. I strongly believe that society judging the career of these men based on their scandals is wrong. The personal life of a man should be kept just that, personal. I understand the responsibility that comes along with being in the limelight, but I believe the personal problems that a person

Political polls provided by GALLUP (shown below) indicate from the years 2011 to 2015, only seventeen percent of democrats believe that defense spending is “too little”. This leaves eighty three percent of polled democrats to lean towards the notion that defense spending is “too high”. Typically, the democratic party is considered a more conservative political party in the terms of military funding. This leads the party to historically call for a reduction in military while a member holds presidential office. Some of the arguments used to promote their position consist of improving foreign relations by eliminating the perception of America using a show of military force in foreign countries, lessening the burden of this expense on American

The Watergate scandal was a unique case for its time because it showed an incumbent office holder trying to be re-elected back into his position through illegal, dishonest means. Then Nixon tried to hide the fact that, he cheated but congress found out anyway and pressured him to give up any evidence that he had of his malicious acts. Nixon refused to give up the evidence and committed some actions that rose suspicious. This incident made Americans doubt their government. For instance, before the Watergate incident happen, the president of the United States could do no wrong in the eyes of the American people that was so dishonest and unethical. This incident tarnished the image of the presidency and made the American public mistrust their

It’s a time of prejudice and the White families are moving out as Black families move in. Angelo and his wife EVELYN, and his in-laws are in jeopardy of losing their home. The men in Angelo’s neighborhood form a committee to do something about the Blacks.

When talking about television, one issue that often comes up is diversity, or the lack thereof. Many shows don’t feature a representative cast. That is not the case in How to Get Away with Murder, the hit show produced by Shonda Rhimes for ABC Network. The show goes beyond featuring a diverse cast; it features real, completely relatable characters. The combination of these factors and the abundance of drama are what make How to Get Away with Murder such a popular and wildly successful show, and in creating such a show, the producers have used its platform to bring social issues to the audience’s attention.

The Sandusky scandal caused much turmoil outside the boundaries of the university, but left a lot of challenges in its wake on campus as well. Management, marketing, human resources and the admissions office would all take a hit on the scandal. Management would be left to pick up the pieces after the scandal broke. They were not just faced with replacing the staff members that were terminated or forced to resign, but they had a larger problem in determining how this could be swept under the rug for so long. The initial report had been investigated by the university police and addressed before passing onto Management (Crandall, Parnell & Spillan, 2013). However, I do believe they should have follow-up on the investigation and made sure that

In the era of “gotcha” politics, a scandal is sometimes inevitable for many politicians. Many reporters snoop around the lives of these politicians rumored to have done something worthy of a scandal in hopes of becoming the next Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. This has led to many politicians becoming involved in “scandals” that are not true scandals but an attempt from the reporter to become known as the person who broke the scandal and brought a big politician down. However, more times than not, scandals involving politicians materialize into full blown scandals that require mass media attention and deep investigation from the authorities. These scandals include financial, political, or sex in nature and more times than not, the sex

The scandal between Former President Bill Clinton and his intern Monica Lewinsky is one of the most well known scandals in United States history. This scandal that took place from 1995 to 1997 had at least 10 sexual encounters involving Clinton and Lewinsky. This series of encounters, along with other things led to President Clinton being impeached.

The Sandusky scandal at Penn State affected many organizational functions for the esteemed university and the impact covering illegal activity was intensified. The crisis negatively affected the organization and its functions. Graham Spanier, Gary Schultz, Timothy Curley, and Joe Paterno had an obligation to disclose the crimes of Sandusky (Crandall, Parnell, & Spillan, 2013). These four men were in management/leadership roles and their actions affected their respective departments, as well as other organizational functions throughout the university. Another function that immediately comes to mind is human resources, as human resources is responsible for human capital. The loss of key staff and the knowledge that goes with that personnel must be replaced. Furthermore, human resources must step in along with other members of the crisis management team to attempt to contain and limit the damage.

News sources are networks where many people are informed about important news event. Being liberal bias about news networks is to be open to new opinions about an event and sometimes can be given false information or misinterpretation about it. Having a conservative view about the news is still having to hold to certain beliefs and values and being cautious about what changes are happening. Many people get news from the six powers house news networks that are either liberal or conservative. CBS, ABC, and NBC were the only news networks, since 1948, where people were able to get the recent news happening and are now considered the mainstream news channels which also have a liberal view about the news. CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC are the news networks that run in cable tv and are considered ultra

This election portrayed an array of highs and lows for our campaign. Contrary to the belief of many, our campaign was not faulty, we did accomplish much, however, a number of inconvenient events surfaced that had made us face a series of unfortunate situations. There were times when the staff was not prepared to handle affairs that concerned this election and there were times when you were not properly informed or prepared on matters concerning this election which heavily contributed to the forlorn status of our campaign.

In 1952, John Rigas purchased his own cable company. By the late 1990's, he had turned it into the sixth largest cable company in the United States with 5.6 million customers. The business was always run as a family style business which led to fraudulent acts among family members and upper level executives. The family has been accused of stealing $3.1 billion from Adelphia and is now facing criminal charges. Adelphia was forced to file chapter 11 bankruptcy and as of April 24, 2004, the new board of directors made the decision to break up the company and sell it. The Adelphia scandal is morally wrong because the Rigas family coerced and exploited employees, harmed all stakeholders as well as stockholders, and
