The Mindy Scandal

Sheldon Silver, a man who served over 20 years as the Democratic speaker of the state Assembly, was arrested on January 22, 2015 for federal corruption charges. After a five-week trial in the Federal District Court in Manhattan and on the third day of deliberations, the jury convicted Silver of seven corruption charges, including fraud, bribery, extortion, money-laundering, and perjury. Evidence showed that he retrieved nearly $4 million by using his powerful position to help aid a cancer researcher and two real estate developers. There was also proof that Silver was one of the largest earners of outside revenue among New York State officeholders, which became one of the focal points of this court case. According to my research, it took the

The Jerry Sandusky investigation would continue after subpoenas would be served into his records at Penn State University. Just like anything else, past reports begin to become known even though it took the 1998 reports before these older reports were known. These incidents were reported 1994 – 1997. “According to the grand jury report, Sandusky allegedly engages in inappropriate conduct with three different boys he met separately through the Second Mile program. One boy was 7 or 8, another was 10 and the third was 12 or 13 at the time. According to the grand jury report, the now-grown men said Sandusky engaged in inappropriate conduct ranging from touching to outright sexual encounters, including several incidents during the night before Penn

Since the scandal at Penn State a lot of things have been happening around the case. For starters, Jerry Sandusky was charged with 45 counts of child molestation. Up until the verdict, Sandusky had told the press and others that he had loved the kids which was said to have been taken out of context. After being charged with the 45 counts of child molestation, Sandusky was given no less than 30, but no more than 60 years in prison for the crimes committed. The case at this moment has cost the school right at a quarter of a billion dollars, half of that being in lawyers fees alone. The university has settled with 33 people over allegations they were sexually abused by Sandusky, and has made total payments to them of $93 million (2017). The administrators

America is falling apart right in front of our eyes. The American way of life is deteriorating and we may never recover. The working class of America is being treated poorly, and it continues to become worse. Massive businesses dominate every aspect of the economy, from light bulbs to tobacco. To add to that, politicians have become corrupt and are working for themselves, not for the greater good of society. As a populist member, I, Joe Mockler, will combat these monstrosities and bring back the jocular American way of life.

“For the year 1920 Cleveland, with approximately 800,000 population, had six times as many murders as London, with 8,000,000 population”. This is from a study “Criminal Justice in Cleveland” by Felix Frankfurter and Roscoe Pound, written in 1922. The 20’s was a decade full of glamor, jazz music, exciting inventions, but most importantly, numerous scandals. Many scandals were caused by laws enforced by the American government and the popularity in not abiding to the laws. The 1920’s should be named The Scandalous Age because of the gambling during the 1919 World Series, illegal acts against Prohibition, and the violent discrimination of certain religious and racial groups.

In the years leading up to 1971, America saw the rise of a new president, Richard Nixon elected in 1968, who would ultimately become one of the most infamous men in American history. This was coupled with the rising resistance against the Vietnam War, resistances like the Kent State shooting in 1970 and the 1967 march to the pentagon. Overall, this was a pivotal time in wartime America to keep moral high among citizen in order for the government to have the support to finish out the war in Vietnam. However, Nixon was soon faced with a leak inside the government that captivated the nation. In 1971, the Pentagon Papers were published in the New York Times. The Pentagon Papers were a classified study by the United States Government officially

There was a time where media and the government worked alongside each other in a symbiotic relationship, such as with President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his Fireside Chats in the midst of the Great Depression. Their job was to promote FDR and help him keep the American people informed on what he was getting done in Washington. Even if the media the president were on bad terms, prior to Nixon, journalism never really forged a large crusade to take down political leaders as they do now. In the wake of the Watergate scandal, however, that dynamic changed completely. Bob Woodward’s and Carl Berstein’s single-minded pursuit of the real perpetrators of Watergate

This paper relies on secondary data on a past phenomenon. It combines data from journal and other internet sources to bring out aspects of unethical behavior by Adelphia's top executive. The analysis of data takes two ethical frameworks.

Watergate Scandal has been considered as one of the darkest chapters in American history. The event not only refers to unethical use of power by the public representatives but also levied great deal of attention on the mechanism of surveillance over the activities of public servants. Watergate scandal provides ethical directions not only to public servants but also provides ethical guidelines to the lawyers and media representatives as well. This incident reveals how ethical lines were crossed time and again by the politicians, legal attorneys and media for their own purposes. Ignoring the righteousness of the outcomes, events like these cause severe damage to the public's trust vested in these authorities which takes a long time to restore.

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
