Many people believed him and gave him a lot of money, but he spent almost all the money for himself. He couldn’t pay back the money to some people. While he was taking money from the people, he collected more then 64 billion dollars from them, and when people tried to see their investments, he used a fake screen computer with ponzie scheme software to present a false investment. This way is similar to Tom’s investment in that, they both were greedy, and acted like friends to people, and made them think that they would become rich. On the other hand, there were many differences between Tom and Bernie.
The Illegal, The Bad, and The Ugly ENC 1101 Professor Robin Rodgers October 26th 2011 Do American citizens ever think about how they pay for stuff that they never actually get to use or see? Do they ever have thoughts about unconsciously paying for someone to stay in our country illegally? Most likely we Americans don't even stop to think about these sorts of things and yet over 113 billion dollars of our citizens hard earned money is paying for illegal immigrants to be in our country. Illegal immigrants are a threat to America's economy in many different aspects. Anyone has a chance of becoming a citizen but not everyone is willing to.
Michael chambers September 8th, 2012 ENG-106 Sandi Greene Immigration Control Immigration control does not mean no immigrants, in actuality it should read, illegal immigration control. This hot topic needs looking at carefully, because immigrants do a lot for this country and if they were to all be deported, then parts of the economy of this great nation would decline even more and quicker than it is currently. We hear many stories of how immigrants are taking jobs away from the legal residents and speculation as to how much better life would be for its citizens if those that are here illegally would not take all the jobs and send the money out of the country. From the surface, this looks exactly like that. The economy of the United States is currently in a recession, if not depression.
In business and or politics unethical behavior is illegal and when found out or when it comes out in the open they face serious penalties that usually lead to the downfall of the individual or company. In sports though sometimes it is clear that the actions are unethical many times there is a gray area that cant be distinguished if the actions are ethical or not. These
The 18th amendment contributed to the rise of organized crime because it created a lot of underground business. From killings to people living in poverty, that’s what the prohibition caused. If people really thought that prohibiting alcohol to be sold leally were going to help the way that people lived during this time, they were wrong. A lot of people were against the law, they argued that if they banned alcohol legal businesses were going to go broke and that was not going to help the economy get better. But alcohol was not the only thing breaking families apart they said, after the war, soldiers would come home and find themselves in a whole, struggling to find jobs.
In the article titled “The Folly of Capital Punishment”, Jeffrey Reinam concludes that capital punishment is immoral to our society; and thus, should not be legalized. Reinam reasons the death penalty is unjust, inhuman, and goes against the progress of civilization. Reinam’s primary argument and rebuttal to Ernest Van Den Haags deterrence argument, is that the death penalty goes against the advancement of civilization. Reinam explains that throughout history we take steps to "lower tolerance for one's own pain and that suffered by others". Due to the states high visibility, size, and moral authority, it is capable to have an impact on citizens beyond the immediate act it authorizes.
The social strain theory states that the person commits the crime because they are angry because they are not able to succeed economically as he/she would like to. The cultural deviance theory states that a person does not feel that he/she will every succeed economically and will fight or do whatever he/she has to so that he/she can get what they want in life. The social learning theory states that a person learns a crime from others. Each of these theories is reasons that a person may commit a crime. In Tent City felons are divided into different racial groups.
The obsession with social hierarchy drives people to be selfish and greedy- never happy with what they have. At the same time, there are many people like Gatsby today who feel they have to cheat their way to the top to be happy, like so many corporate giants who have schemed for years and stole billions of dollars from innocent, but maybe slightly naïve taxpayers. Both kinds of people have lost the sense of the American dream. Originally people just wanted a perfect but humble life: a loving, close-knit family, a steady paying job, and ultimately pure happiness. But once people see that it is possible to have much more than that, they begin to get covetous and only want more.
The government hopes to also gain the two hotels involved in the crime, sell them, and gain money for taxpayers (Barr). Unfortunately business owners aren’t the only citizens that neglect to report illegal immigrants, such as those in favor of illegal immigration. Those who disregard the law only undermine the policies set forth by the American government and ultimately hinder the enforcement of said laws. Here lies the biggest problem of present-day immigration, the United States government simply does not have the capacity to fully implement and uphold the current policies and laws that it has put in place. From massive borders to disobedient citizens, the United States government is unable to enforce their own policies of immigration.
Edna Salinas Mr. Clark Owen English 1301.07 February 2, 2015 Illegal Immigration Crime There is an ongoing debate in today’s world about whether immigration is helpful or detrimental to a country. Some claim illegal immigrants should be treated as criminals because illegal activity should be punished not rewarded. While others claim being out of status is not a criminal offense. The United States welcomes and accepts more legal immigrants as permanent residents than the rest of the world combined. For some, the use of the term illegal alien is likely based on a misconception that an immigrant’s very presence in the United States is a criminal violation of the law (Briney).
