First off, the argument states that power corrupts all people, is a blanket statement, what it really is ones interpretation of an opinion. A speaker can influence a crown and in the right setting these words and be very powerful. This statement is not true for the fact that there have been people who have had power and have not been corrupt. There are good and bad people history just tends to remember the ones who were using power in a corrupt way. Wording is very important and if someone were to want to word this in a way to make it accurate he or she would say, “Power may be evil because it can corrupt some people”.
Stephanie Ericsson says [in her essay “The Ways We Lie”]. We cannot live in this world without lying in almost every kind of situation. All we do is lie and it hurts people, but wait she also says that we just go around telling everyone the truth on everything all the time either.

The amount a person sweats and their communication skills are other signals that a person is telling a lie. However, whether these are realistic ways to tell if someone is lying or not is difficult to examine. (DePaulo 2003) researched this in depth and found that the consistent signs associated with lying were a higher pitched voice, greater vocal stress or tension and a shorter length of utterance. However these differences were always apparent and were often very slight. When considering the truth, rehearsal, seriousness and stress all need to be taken into consideration.
Read the case study and map the fraud case to the appropriate expense report fraud flow in Chapter 7 (Exhibit 7.4 or 7.5 or 7.6). In a 2-3 page paper address the following questions: which fraud flow and specific steps did the fraudster manipulate and how will the new processes installed deter, detect or prevent this from recurring? Travel and expense reimbursement schemes may seem like they are an easy fraud to perpetrate, however, the recurring problem is that people wind up getting too greedy and get caught because of it. Lucky for us the fraudster’s greed leads them to get sloppy when they believe that a fraud is going to continue to go undetected. This was the case in the article “Fashioning a Fraud” by Bethmara Kessler.
This is an example of how interviewing suspects can lead to unreliable information because this interview can lead to false or real confessions dependent on the individual. Therefore, if the interview is repeated with different individuals it will obtain different information and thus different results. If it cannot be repeated and gain the same results then the information is deemed unreliable. However, interviewing suspects can result in reliable information being gained as it delivers consistent results.

Furthermore, it is really complicated, especially in emergencies, to measure the exact weight of the detainee’s confession. There are numerous questions posed to deal with, such as whether the suspect is the real wrongdoer, how many percentages of required information he or she possesses and the most difficult one: how to distinguish between honesty and lies. It is true that perpetrators are not always omniscient to perceive the reliability rate of the information collected. Once the interrogation starts, the torture will be inflicted on the victims till these tormentors suppose that they have gained the desired information. “Interrogators who are confident but wrong in their judgment that a suspect is lying are likely to turn to torture as a means of forcing a suspect to tell the “truth”.” (Costanzo & Gerrity, 2009, p. 185).

Terrorists, extremists, and single-minded dictatorships believe in this, while the general people see it as a cruel and selfish way of accomplishing a task.

One also often goes over the decision many times as to make sure they aren’t doing the wrong thing, but the more one goes over the decision to do something, they are also unconsciously reassuring themselves that what they are doing is wrong.
