Corporate greed is a much debated topic in today’s society. Oil company profits are soaring while people are having trouble paying for gasoline and home heating. Bank executives are collecting enormous bonuses after government bailout money, while hundreds of thousands still face mortgage foreclosures. Big business seems to be recovering from the 2008 recession, but does not seem to be taking the people with them as unemployment remains high. In response to these issues, “Occupy Wall Street” has

television culture will go as far as they have to for publicity. From the camera man doing whatever it takes to get a good shot, to the news companies paying top dollar for a film, in the end it 's all about getting publicity and money.    In the Washington Post, Michael O 'Sullivan tells us about how Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays Lou Bloom has previously said " 'If the movie registers a 10 on the f---ed up scale ', Gyllenhaal argues,  'it isn 't because Lou is a monster, but

relatively young, unseasoned reporters with no major stories to their credit. In fact, when the initial break in at Watergate was discovered, most media outlets considered it not important and paid little or no attention to it. The editor of the Washington Post at the time, Benjamin C. Bradlee put Bernstein and Woodward in charge of the story only because he did not think much would come of it. However, Woodward and Bernstein began to see linkages between the individuals involved in the break-ins and

feat cannot be achieved without raising the minimum wage. If our current government does not raise the minimum wage than a person earning minimum wage would need to work two or three jobs just to keep up with inflation. According to Huffington Post there are millions of Americans living in poverty. Our current inflation rate from 1913-2013 have not mirrored the pace of wage increases.

keep the public informed and up-to-date on the latest drought news. Two pieces of writing that serve this purpose are Angela Fritz’s article for The Washington Post, “California drought endures as snowfall pack falls short of El Nino expectations,” and William Waterway’s poem on poemhunter.com, “California drought is no dream.” Whereas The Washington Post article uses direct quotes from experts

Students nowadays have found a new way to use their fidget spinners, tricks, while these may sound harmless but a local school in Virginia has announced on The Washington Post ,“They are also being thrown around during transition in the hallways to and from class and in the cafeteria and at recess.

Home, a place your feet may leave but your heart will always be. Refugees face multiple challenges as they flee their countries and attempt to find new homes. Ha from the book “Inside Out & Back Again” by Thanhha Lai is a great example of those real-life refugees as they suffer through danger, starvation, discrimination and lack of the understanding and speaking of the new languages. Refugees face numerous dangerous burdens while they are fleeing their homes. There are rockets that are being launched

There have been many crimes around the world that have involved illegal immigrants, but not one where the jury has paid for fine they agreed upon. I got this information from fox news and the Washington post. On December 15th, Sandra Mendez was charged with a $60 fine after she stole $5,000 worth of jewelry from her employer, Lisa Copeland. She was a maid for the Copeland family. Sandra Mendez is 19 and is currently pregnant with her second child. She is an illegal citizen. When she went to court

“About 53 of these 100-dollar bills were found on the five men after they were arrested at the Watergate” (Internet, Lukas). I think that in this situation the Washington Post did their job with acceptable limits. I think that if the information they got was available with out any trouble it was okay but to write a published story violated privacy. I don’t think anyone should be able to look through someone’s

Galen Guengerich published his article "Selfie Culture Promotes A Degraded Worldview" January 31, 2014. To the Washington post. Guengerich makes a valid point on people who take a lot of selfies tend to good self-view of themselves. "With a smartphone in hand, we can now share with other how our narcissism looks to us". It turns out that friends aren't amused by the photo
