The Trent Affair was an event which occurred during the Civil War, that threatened a war with Britain as well as the South. The Americans captured two Confederate diplomats from a British ship. The UK protested quite a bit until the diplomats were released. In 1861, the Union intercepted a letter that stated the Confederacy was sending two diplomats to France to negotiate financial and military aid in the Civil War. They were considered contraband of war, and were removed from the ship. Before they were released, British troops in Canada and the Atlantic increased, as did the threat of war. Abraham Lincoln didn’t want to there to be war between the European nation and the South, so he ordered the release of the men. The diplomats, however,

Sports broadcasting has come a long way from what it was during Cosell’s time. While the future was bright for Howard Cosell, there were other sportscasters that need to be recognized including those with similar practices than Cosell. Though Cosell was mainly known for his interviews with the late, great Mohammed Ali, he wasn’t the first broadcaster to focus on prize fighters.

The Bell California trial was a corruption scandal that cost the small community of Bell California millions of dollars (Freeman, 2012). Robert Rizzo was the city manager of Bell. During his tenure, he along with several other city officials managed to increase their salaries and retirement pensions without the residence of Bell knowing it. Some of the amounts in increase far surpassed the head of the Los Angeles Police Departments salary. The salary and pension increases were done by illegal tax increases as well as other means that the taxpayers were unaware of (McGrath, 2013). Some of the monies were acquired by shaking down businesses for extra fees or threatened with their businesses being closed for failure to pay. The small community

The scandal at Penn State University has become a tragic event. Jerry Sandusky was an assistant coach for his entire career at Penn State University, under Joe Paterno. Joe Paterno was one of the most notable major college football coaches. In November 2011, Jerry Sandusky was arrested and charged with 40 counts of sexual abuse of young boys over a 15- year period.

One such story involves non-repatriate Edward Dickenson, who was a cook while in captivity. He was accused of stealing food from other prisoners by taking a little from each one and then using the excess to trade for tobacco or candy. Another non-repatriate, LaRance Sullivan, was accused of doing the same thing. Both of these men were also accused of murdering or at the very least, causing the death of fellow prisoners. These accusations along with the charge that they stole food are impossible to prove though. Nonetheless, it is entirely possible that these stories were made up in order to make the non-repatriates look like cowards after they made the choice to go to China. The case made against Harold Webb for selling food is based on more solid evidence however. The case against Otho Bell is also damning as he stole and then sold food to from sick inmates. Still, the twenty-three who initially chose to go to China appear to have similar camp records as many who came home after the war.

The Penn State scandal was the worst in the history of college sports and shocked our country. This of course had penalties by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) against Penn State University. Many people wondered why four of the most powerful people – President Graham B. Spanier, Senior Vice President –Finance and Business Gary C. Schultz, Athletic Director Timothy M. Curley and Head Football Coach Joseph V. Paterno at the University did not come forward and report this scandal. They did not report the activities to the Board of Trustees, but they did report it to the authorities. They did do enough to prevent this from continuing the predatory behavior. Were the reasons the four did not report it because they did not want to embarrass their stakeholders and the university? Or did they want to be discreet since it was an employee of 30 years? Or was it a crisis that they did not know how to manage? These are questions that will continue to be asked. These university officials went into crisis mode, but two areas of their efforts

The Sugar Daddy Government article explains how some opponents of these billionaire tycoons reforming or rebuilding their communities have concerns that these efforts contrast the traditional political system, labeling it as “inherently undemocratic” (p. 163). This claim surprised me. Initially, I assumed that these tycoons had all good intentions to improve their hometowns, but the reading, Private Money for Public Projects, explains the unforeseen consequences of private contributions and property takeovers. In Sugar Daddy Government, billionaire Allen, owned 40% of South Lake Union—I can understand the concerns of corruption.

When the story first broke it was just a raid of Jared’s home, (O’Mara, 2015) but with the government apparently uncovering more details into Jared’s life it can easily get worse. The more the public learns about Jared during this scandal will keep adding on and damaging Subways image and reputation. (Russell, 2015)
