This is the false consciousness they have created in our minds. During the film The Corporation, we go through the Personality Diagnostic Checklist from the World Health Organization icd-10.

They are corrupt because they have social status but then they abused this power. Furthermore, the villains in both The Duchess of Malfi and Measure for Measure have the characteristics of Machiavellian villains. Per contra, Angelo is not like the villains in The Duchess of Malfi because he does not have an assistant to help him and does not have a personal vendetta against another in the play. He just wants to eliminate crime but, eventually, contradicts his own laws he is enforcing by asking Isabella to give her body to him sexually to save her brother: ‘You must lay down the treasures of your body To this supposed, or else to let him suffer: What would you do?’ (Act 2 Scene iv) This quotation tells us that; females of that day and age would have done exactly what they were told to do, on command if told to. We can see this by looking at the language of this quotation.
What would life be like if one could get away with illegal actions and weren’t held responsible for their behaviors? What would it be like to have a cold and empty heart that contained a strong lack of empathy towards the people of today’s society? More importantly, what characteristics of a “normal” human mimic ones of a psychopath? Although the majority of psychopaths are immediately put into the category of “crazy”, they share common factors with normal people than one might think. Psychopaths are productive in society, have elements of emotion, and share correlated brain patterns with the “normal” people that are classified as non-psychopathic.
Many organizations do not have systems in place that prevent middle-level managers from being personal and insulting without the victim drawing attention to one’s self and possibly suffering retaliation. Often the bullying is systemic and sanctioned by higher-ups who are often bullies of a sort themselves; it is a subculture that exists in many environments and is often so border-line as to be un-addressable. It can be blamed or even allowed and accepted under the guise of the free market capitalism that we live in – “Survival of the fittest” and “Every man for himself!” but then, is it productive, let alone civilized? Studies on bullying
Psychopathy: Diagnosis, Theory, and Treatment Jama R. Young College of Saint Mary Psychopathy: Diagnosis, Theory, and Treatment What is a Psychopath? Psychopathy is a disorder, which is defined and “characterized in part by a diminished capacity for remorse and poor behavioral controls” (Blair, 2003, p. 5). Defining psychopathy gives shape to meaning behind the mental illness, but what does this mean? Those with the disorder are “ruthless social predators” (Cavadino, 1998, p .5). Persistently irresponsible, they are impulsive violators of what are considered social norms.
Social justice is a topic known all to well in today's society. Such issues as social heirarchial structure and unjust representatives of citizens of nations are issues in need of attention by those in power. Corruption, lies and greed by those in power however stand in the way of this form of justice from occurring, leaving many with little or no social status open to prejudice on race, religious and sexual grounds. William Shakespeare illustrates the ease in which power can corrupt in his play, Measure for Measure. In Measure for Measure, a leader corrupts the legal system for his own benefit.
Using material from item A and elsewhere assess the usefulness of sub-cultural theories in explaining sub-cultural crime and deviance in society today. Subcultures, such as the ones mentioned in item A consist of a group of people whom share the same norms and values together, yet oppose mainstream culture. Criminals are seen to become part of a subculture as their values are different to normal society. These criminal individuals have rejected society’s norms and invented their own as they feel that society has rejected them, which means they become materially deprived and blame society as it has not met their needs. However, the criminals resort to things such as burglary to maintain materialistic property.
Carr makes an argument that, “Business are game ethics, different from the ethics of religion”. The tight competition among business competitors allows its corporate owners to use the “bluffing” technique of a poker game as a strategic tool to defeat its competition. The fact that all human beings have its own moral and ethics, when it comes to bluffing, most executives tends to feel the pressure to deceive. However, they are restrained to do so due to their religious idealism or personal integrity. Therefore, the player must first understand the game and its rules, which would be the ethical morals that set the standards of a society.
But in this case it could be acceptable because you don’t want to cause any hard feelings. Secondly, people tell a lie when they have a job interview just so they get the job or people lie about a marketing product that they are trying to sell in a business company therefore that customers notice why there products are helpful and valuable. Lying to get a job or to sell a product is wrong as well. You want to show who you really are not make up something that isn’t true. I feel like lying about important opportunities like this shows you are unprofessional because then that means you don’t care about that job or this product you just basically want this to make money and to be honest people don’t actually look at it closely and realize it’s not all about the money and wanting it it’s also needing it as well.
