Tulia, a small town in Texas of just under five-thousand people, is a frightening example of how the judicial system is governed solely by racism as well as one corrupt man’s word. In 1999, nearly ten percent of the town’s African American population was arrested in a single drug bust. Of the forty-six people arrested, thirty-eight were African-American, furthermore all were convicted. The remaining seven arrested where know to associate more with the black community than the white in Tulia as well. With the towns income levels averaging at or below the poverty line, most arrested could not afford to hire a good attorney that cared or had the time to care, left therefore with one provided by the state. Consequently, convictions were up to ninety years in jail for allegedly selling three and a half grams, more commonly known as an eight ball, of cocaine in drug-free zones. In was only on appeals, that the convictions where revoked on insubstantial evidence.

Kleptocracy is defined as a state controlled to benefit an individual or small group who use their power to gain “a large fraction of society’s resources” to use for themselves. Kleptocracy “obstruct[s] development” of countries because the money taxpayers entrust to further develop their country through projects such as schools or infrastructure, becomes diverted to certain people for their own personal gain. Daron Acemoglu, Thierry Verdier, and James A. Robinson, writers for the Journal of the European Economic Association, established that kleptocracy runs rampant in “many developing countries.” As a result of this corruption, countries suffer “highly inefficient economic policies” and “expropriated the wealth of their citizens.”

I Think corruption starts within organizations is when There are no authority checks and balances that effects the mindset and integrity of The employees who are in high management positions and also working within the any department of a government sector or business. With the economy growing in many states corruption decreases because jobs are able to pay people well and not below what the job position requires. Many factors play when it comes to corruption because it starts from home so a family or person can live well and a major factor can be the strength of the state presidency office if, the presidency for the state is not strong and showing good change to help the state in bad times people start to lose motivation and practices that things will get better and decide to take things in their own hands as for corruption.

Upton Sinclair’s book the Jungle  was about a Latvian family who decided to immigrate to America. They believed that America was a place to go and build wealth and thrive. When they arrive, they quickly realize that the great America is not all it’s described to be. The men in power are corrupt, the living conditions are deplorable, the area is overpopulated and there weren’t enough jobs for everyone. The jobs that were available were hard, and the factories were filthy. People often became ill and did not have enough money for doctors because they were underpaid. Sinclair wrote this book to open the eyes of the American public, and to finally incite change for the poverty stricken immigrants.

Sierra Leone is a small country found on the west coast of Africa. The country shares a border with the Atlantic Ocean, Liberia, and Guinea. Sierra Leone has a population of 5,525,000 people, and 27,699 square miles of land. In 1462 Freetown, Sierra Leone was founded by Pedro da Cintra, a Portuguese explorer from Lagos, Portugal. da Cintra originally named the country Sierra Lyoa , the Lion Mountains, but in 1787 the British officially adopted Sierra Lyoa changing its name to its modern day spelling- Sierra Leone. This small country has faced many horrors within its history. The Sierra Leone civil war is a major contributing factor to the country’s current state of poverty and corruption. Most problems that the country faces today all stem

In the American version of a democratic system, a handful of extremely wealthy individuals and large corporations control the political system. By "funding" or bribing the candidates, they directly influence the election and nominations of presidents, governors, senators and congress members. The money is used for campaign staff, door to door voting operations, and television advertising. The continued influence of the wealthy violates the basic principle of democratic political equality.This cynical political campaign has become part of the democratic system that the politicians are not even required to justify their action. Even though a truly democratic system is too perfect to exist, a corrupted political system destroys the hope for a system that has the public's interest in mind.

Women played an important role in the campaign for public support for reform of King Leopold II’s Congo Free State and the forced labor that took place there. Both in the Congo and in Europe women influenced the perception and reaction to the État Indépendant du Congo and the Congolese people. The treatment of Congolese women by the Force Publique and white colonial officials such as Léon Rom inspired both sympathy from European missionaries and rebellion from the Congolese. While in Europe and America reformers like Englishwomen Alice Harris and Mary Morel campaigned for reform in the Congo Free State. Through newspaper articles, organizations and photographs they swayed many influential members of English and American society — church and government officials, businessmen, and authors — to their side. The Congo Reform Association(CRA) also had two women on its executive council. Through their treatment at the hands of the regime, involvement in public campaigns against Leopold, and a sex scandal, women in the both the Congo and in Europe encouraged opposition to King Leopold II’s draconian rule of the État Indépendant du Congo.

Scandal, bribery, and corruption: all aspects of everyday life, and sports. With countless scandals hitting the news every day, it is easy to see that sports “players” are no exception. With scandal comes crisis communication. Rhetors use strategic language and techniques to save face and restore image after a scandal. Apologia theory is a crisis communication concept which aims to categorize the strategies used in rhetoric to apologize, defend oneself, and restore an individual or organization 's image. Theorist have studied famous speeches and situations from Bill Clinton to Tiger woods, using apologia as the lens to understand how we react in times of crisis. In the case of the recent bribing scandal involving Eric Black, a Southampton

they govern. Throughout history, the actions of powerful political officials has set precedent for future leaders. As a result of the high amount of political power officials often attain, there is a high amount of corruption throughout politics. Florida, for example, ranks as the number 1 state in the United States in terms of corruption according to William March of the Tampa Bay Tribune1. Humans as a result, have an incredible amount of power to create instability in politics. A large amount of laws & acts passed in Florida have been as a result of “big money” ­­ where large companies will bribe government officials in exchange for acts & laws that favor their enterprise. Government officials don’t have a limitless power though, as a new act passed in Florida shows. Voters in Tallahassee, Florida made history by approving the first city Anti­ Corruption Act. Movements by people like this exemplify that people have a large amount of power to create instability, but it does have its limits. An example of corruption on a grander scale includes lobbyists in America according to Juan Cole of Informed Comment. Lobbyists, or business owners who

In 1908, Leopold II, King of the Belgians handed over the Free State of Congo, acquired in 1889, to Belgium. In 1960, the Congo became an independent Republic. Fifty-five years after the independence of the Congo, the traces of its colonisation can still be found everywhere in Belgium; from the imposing monuments and buildings scattered around the country built with the money Leopold gained from the extraction of the Congo’s natural resources, to the African artefacts and collection of butterflies found in many ex-colonisers’ houses, to this expression of the common language: “Tout ça ne nous rendra pas le Congo”. Although this Congolese past is clearly ‘physically’ present in Belgium, it is interesting to see how it is remembered and understood

As one considers the past and present world, countless acts of violence, death, and sadness are revealed. Throughout existence, the human race has participated in destructive ways that in some instances, eliminate all hope for goodness. Countries go to war, individuals kill in the name of revenge, hatred, jealousy, and personal achievement. At times the brutality and sin displayed by human beings is overwhelming, making the world seem resistant to any form of goodness. In addition to the horrific actions displayed by humans, the world is prone to natural disasters. Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and countless other catastrophes leave human life and

Pride and Glory what a good name for a movie that represents the great NYPD and all they stand for. I just want to first state that the movie was very good and very entertaining. It showed a different side of the police force at hand and how corrupt police officers would be thinking during something like this. I’m sure the true meaning behind this movie was not a mash on the police department of the NYPD but as I have learned not just through this class but through other experiences is people take things in different perspective and influence is very powerful. What do I mean by this? I mean

In local government there is a common trend of officials bending the rules in order to attain a political goal. Therefore, an overlapping concept that lingers in multiple governments is political corruption. Political corruption can be defined as the use of powers by government officials for illegitimate private gain. Like all forms of American government, structure extends in a top down manner within the federal beltway (NY, DC and large players). Consequently, parallel patterns are reflected beyond the beltway, in local authorities where policies are generally practiced. Like centralized federal government, a parallel practice that is generally relevant in smaller government is the political corruption concept of nepotism. What I argue is while corruption is illegal it stems from the root of emotion. Stemming from an emotional agenda, nepotism is a form of illegal political dishonesty that has been reproduced from the earliest of political history to the smallest cities in the US. Not only is nepotism anti-democratic, it is perpetuated in the simplest form, and offers just a moral solution.

In today’s society, many corrupt citizens who will prioritize wealth over basics like clean food, water, and air for the future. They go caring about their own life, and not caring about the next generation; causing problems, killing our planet, and sweeping it under the rug because they do not want to address the problem. Everyday citizens have choices on what they do each day, and these decisions are harming our planet at an aggressive rate. Decisions on whether or not recycling their plastic. These citizens are corrupt because they grew up in a society that bases happiness upon money. Sure, they have heard of the saying, “money can’t buy you happiness”, but these people will still work a desk job all of their life because they want more items money can buy. A mansion is a dream that these citizens have, something to work towards and obtain. If society would stop distracting these citizen with money, the world could be focused on a better goal, the future of our planet. Corrupt citizens are evil because they are allow deforestation of the rainforests, are polluting the environment, and are obsessed with money.
