Josiah Duggar's Molestation Scandal

Decent Essays
Josiah Duggar has slipped out of the limelight for the last few years. He had a lot of potential when he announced his courtship back in 2015. Duggar was going to be the second male who would presumably walk down the aisle, which had 19 Kids and Counting fans excited. He introduced his girlfriend, Marjorie Jackson to the world via a video on social media. The assumption was the two would be announcing a wedding in the near future, but that is not how things went at all.

Shortly after Josiah Duggar announced his courtship, things for the entire Duggar family went south. That is when the molestation scandal broke and the show was canceled. Several months passed before fans noticed that Marjorie Jackson was no longer seen on Josiah's Instagram.

    From the movie I learned that there were many violations to ethical principles and human rights. I cannot understand how health care professionals and people that are in power can intentionally harm others in the name of research. I think that research should be closely monitored in order to avoid violations, like the ones presented in the movie Miss Evers' Boys. Arnold and Boggs (2011) defines justice in ethics as being fair or impartial. There was no justice in what they did in the movie.…

    Clinton's presidency was a seemingly long hard road. During his second term as President, He was impeached due to charges of lying under oath to a grand jury and obstruction of justice.
