When we raise our right hand to take the Oath of Office, we bind ourselves to the ethical and moral principles of always telling the truth; taking responsibility for our actions; respect for the rights of others; commitment to duty; and keeping our promise to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. As a federal civilian employee, it is vital that we uphold these principles in order to build and maintain public trust. Taxpayers rely on the federal government not only just to…

It's more bad news for Walmart. After a New York Times story alleged that Wal-Mart bribed officials in Mexico to allow the company to open stores in that country, another new report reveals exactly how much it costs a community in dollars and cents when Walmart comes to town. Walmart is able to offer lower prices than other small retailers and we would expect that to have an additional effect with both costs and benefits," Fowler said. "In some rural areas, it can be argued that Walmart is…

which results in it serving as a calculated method to present information in a deceiving way (Orwell). Since propaganda often uses misleading language to spread biased ideas, it is the sensationalism of information and often leads to government officials conveying lies to the public. The importance of propaganda’s role in the government was proven during World War One, when success was dependent on the propagation of ideology, rather than military strength. According to George Creel, the head…

determines the direction of political change in Texas. Up until 1960, the Democratic Party controlled nearly all Texas elections. This is because, “when one political party tends to dominate [the selection of a public official], voters who wish to participate in choosing their local public officials must vote in that party’s primary” (197). But over the half past-century, many counties have shifted from the Democratic to the Republican primary. In Texas, a semi-open primary election state, a…

After reading both Wasps by Aristophanes and Bacchae by Euripides, I realized that words can be just as powerful as a god. Athenian government officials, such as Cleon, in Wasps and Dionysus from Bacchae had total control over others. The people the Athenian government and Dionysus controlled were manipulated to believe that they had power. Within Wasps, readers are introduced to Procleon, a man who has an obsession with being a juror for the Athenian government. Procleon’s obsession is…

women in state and federal prisons. In federal women’s correctional facilities, 70% of guards are male. Records show correctional officials have been involve in the rape of these women inmates and other sexual assault, sexual extortion, and groping during body searches. Male correctional officials watch women undressing, in the shower or the toilet. Male correctional officials retaliate, often brutally, against female inmates who complain about sexual assault and harassment (Roth, 2010). These…

Crimes occurred every day in some places around the world. Nobody is able to guarantee that crimes will never danger their security and benefits during the whole life. It is necessary to have pre-knowledge for protection. Thus, there are multiple ways for people to search and receive the knowledge about crime. Especially, it is easier to access massive crime information comparing with the past. However, it is still difficult for commonalities to ensure that each resource is correct and enough to…

believable plot for the audience to immerse themselves into; however, Life of Pi is no such novel. This book tells the tale of a boy and a tiger who survive the unimaginable together but then part ways. When they separate, the boy, Pi, tells Japanese officials two stories. One of which is intriguing, while the other allows the audience to remain closed-minded. In Martel 's, Life of Pi, Pi 's animal story is more thought-provoking than the human story because it forces the readers to stretch…

corporations often times find themselves in violation of U.S. laws. The Foreign Corruption Practices Acts of 1977 are a set of laws that prohibit bribery to foreign officials and the use of specialized accounting practices to hide these transgressions. Walmart is one of the latest multi-million dollar corporations accused of bribing foreign officials. Who should be at fault the government for not catching these violations or the corporations for using any means possible to make a dollar?…

scientists and officials and the Soviet Union. Russia was on the brink of sending people into space. As far as I understand it, American officials didn’t want America to seem weak and helpless in the face of new technology and discovery. So they formulated NASA and the Apollo space program where they were determined to beat the Soviet Union in the race to put the first man on the moon. During my research I studied the sometimes fallible human nature of those scientists and public officials.…
