Greenwich did not do any “due diligence” which is the reason for getting sued because they did not check and that’s how Madoff was able to get away with the scheme. Greenwich should have seen that he was using his own money while he was pocketing the money from investors and they could have stopped him. 8. The SEC did not act upon the information by Markopolos because Madoff had a good reputation at the SEC and had many connections with the people within the SEC, so they didn’t even bother conducting an investigation. 9.
Fahrenheit 451 Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy In this 1967 film, Fahrenheit 451. One can't help wondering, if reading is banned, how did so many people learn to read? Except for a few small groups of people and the repels of course. This is an excellent movie and well worth watching. It is not a film for people who are not willing to pay attention or people who only like action films.
This letter was written 30 years before the reform bill had even passed and the MP does not moan about the fact he was elected in by just one voter. But then again, this source suggests that the election system was unfair. We can see this because of the fact, small pocket boroughs were often known as rotten boroughs. A rotten/pocket borough was small populated boroughs where the residents could easily be bribed and persuaded to vote a particular MP. This was very unfair on the people and on the other people up for election, so this source doe’s hint at the fact a reform should take place, but this particular MP does not want a reform because he is benefitting without it.

Players are getting payed enough money by the teams to play good in games without using performance enhancing drugs. No teams are paying their players to cheat the game and risk getting cought when they invested in the players. Gary Wadler, a leading expert who serves on the World Anti-Doping Agency's, commented on the MLB drug situation by saying, "I do think in their heart of heart baseball wants to get rid of drugs,” but they're not keeping up. The guys that are cheating are very astute, as we have learned” (Nightengale 1). In this article, the league can’t even come close to keeping up with the drug problem.
Ethical Conflict New York State law forbids officials within the executive branch of government from soliciting or accepting gifts of more than nominal value from any lobbyist if the gift appears intended to sway the official. The New York Yankees organization was registered to lobby the Paterson administration, as well as the State Legislature, in connection with financing for the new Yankee Stadium (Confessor, 2009). Since the Yankees were looking to lobby the governor, it was even more inappropriate for Governor James Patterson and his staff to have taken the tickets without charge, New York State law states, “…complimentary attendance, including food and beverage, at widely-attended officially-related events, but only if the event is related to the attendee's duties as a public official or allows the public official to perform a ceremonial function appropriate to his position…”(SUNYU,2000).

If someone went to the Toys for Tots website based on no knowledge on the organization, they would most likely not donate their money. The only reason someone would donate on the Toys for Tots website is solely based on the Toys for Tots creditable popularity.

Banning Assault Rifles and High Capacity Magazines Would Be Pointless Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety,” (“Benjamin Franklin”) Today there are US politicians who are in support of gun control legislature in an endeavor to protect citizens from the injuries and death that could hypothetically come from so called assault rifles and high capacity magazines. However, gun control laws are ineffective in preventing from heinous and violent activity, and have never worked. In a negative affect can actually increase gun related crime. Criminals by nature do not respect laws, so it would
Some of the songs from the Sex Pistols were “Anarchy in the UK,” which essentially says that people do not need to do anything if they do not want to and society is without law. They are free people and do not need to work. Cultural revolutions start with a person believing one thing, but will not go anywhere unless others follow him. For example, McLaren needs money for his store, and was persistent on it. He uses the Sex Pistols to gain money, and manipulates them into what people like which eventually leads to followers to an unexpected loyalty.
Alexandra Vilents Drinking age limit: Does The Current Policy Make Sense? & Drinking age and its relationship to today's economy downfall. Isn’t kind of humorous how you can do all these different things, like get married, buy lottery tickets, smoke cigarettes, when you turn eighteen but you can’t purchase alcohol, let alone consume alcohol. When you turn eighteen you are able to go out and buy cigarettes and smoke them; you can start buying scratch tickets and gambling at some casinos; you can even go and serve your country in times of war in the U.S. military. I often wonder why the drinking age is not eighteen.
