Pay Secrecy The article that I found discussed all the different aspects of pay secrecy: what it is, what makes it illegal, what happens to employers that commit pay secrecy, and how employees can report it.

The theme of secrecy is tied too Shelleys belief that secrecy causes torture, because keeping important information is not…

In 1948, within NSC 10/2, George Kenna surmised that covert actions are “planned and conducted that any U.S. government responsibility for them is not evident to unauthorized persons and that if uncovered the U.S. Government can plausibly disclaim any responsibility for them” (Johnson 2007). This statement entrenched a high standard for future covert operations to strive to remain clandestine, which is a seemingly improbable feat to achieve. Indeed, most covert operations have the intention to…
