For example, Roxanne writes, "Jay-Z has ignored calls to dump the deal." She backs her statement with a direct quote from Jay-Z, "I move and speak based on facts and not emotions." This article also includes a little jargon in regards to her belief that Jay-Z should stand up to racism. “It wouldn't be the first time "dirty money" was flipped and used for a better purpose", Roxanne states. This article is solely the writer’s opinions and in my opinion the jargon was appropriate.
9. The Wall Street Journal did not publish the evidence by Markopolos because then people would take it out on them because they did not do the investigation and its because of them they lost there money. 10. I feel that the SEC did not do their job because they should have at least see these transactions and they should have caught him before everyone lost their money. Just because Madoff had good connections with the SEC they still have done some sort of an investigation and at least say they did not see anything than just ignore it because now people are mad at the
The Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional because it did not give the presidential administrations the power to remove board members (Younglai et al., 2010). Another major con of SOX is the cost to comply with the audit requirement. Many lawmakers fear that these costs are pushing firms to move their operation oversees (Sarbanes-Oxley Act. (n.d.). Overall, SOX has caused companies to be more forthcoming with their financial data at the same time instilling more confidence from the public.
Interim Analysis Report CAMPAIGN FINANCE At a time when much of the world is emulating American values and institutions, too many Americans have lost confidence in their political system. They are turned off by a partisan debate that often seems to revolve not around opposing philosophies but around contending sets of interest groups. They believe that our current system for financing campaigns gives disproportionate power to wealthy individuals and groups and exerts too much influence over legislative and regulatory outcomes. Americans on both side of the aisle agree that the country faces pressing problems, from climate change, to health care reform, to the national debt. But none of this issue can be resolved, until we address the problems with the current political system itself.
The infamous “Starr report” soon came out which accused president Clinton of having an affair with another colleague of his in the White house. Monica Lewinsky, an intern at the white house, was accused of engaging in multiple sexual encounters with president Clinton. This rumor then went to court where evidence showed that Monica Lewinsky and president Clinton did have the alleged affair. One piece of evidence that was very useful during the trial was a blue dress worn by Monica Lewinsky that had president Clinton's semen on it. Another piece of evidence that did not help president Clinton's case was a testimony by Clinton where he was asked questions about Ms. Lewinsky and their encounters with one another.
Working on an article is a privilege not a right, but I do believe that it wasn’t right when the editors didn’t think they had a chance. I also think that the editors did not encourage them because when Woodward and Bernstein had some of their articles published, no other journalist were re-printing their story. They became worried, and wanted to drop the story, thinking that if Woodward and Bernstein continued it, it would get nowhere. I think the story of Watergate was scandalous. It was an American Political scandal and a conflict in the 1970’s and also led to the resignation of president Nixon.
Americans today have much concern about the concept of outsourcing. Ron Hira and Anil Hira in there book Outsourcing America, pose the question “Who is right and why is there difference in opinion whether this is good for America?” Critics continue to argue that outsourcing has a negative impact on American jobs, the economy, national security and pose that should this be allowed to continue, a prosperous future for all Americans is dim. However, it is also profitable for all to view their complaints as objectively as possible because they would never mention the vast benefits that come with outsourcing, especially here in America. Yes, the subject does bring a lot of insecurity and confrontation, but there are those who see it differently. While outsourcing has negative and positive implications, in the long run the future for American will lean towards the positive side of the scale.
Despite the United States of America’s right to vote, a handful disagree that this freedom is properly applied. Henry David Thoreau’s “Resistance to Civil Government”, states, that the American government does provide avenues for change for dissenters, but these are often too slow and unreliable. Voting, for instance, is not as effective as Americans like to think. Thoreau affirms, “The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that that right should prevail.

Both the tea party and occupy Wall Street movements have been dismissed as not being very important. Both movements have started out being rooted in anger with the government’s financial decisions. And they are outraged by the federal bailout of Wall Street in 2008, “according to several experts who study political and social movements.” (Douglas,
