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.
Locke and Montesquieu believed that limited government (government has limits and every person has rights) was best. Montesquieu thought that governments such as monarchies and despots caused conflict between the people and the government. Limiting the government’s power over the people would take away the chances of a monarchy or despotism forming, and the best way to do that would be to divide the government into three different branches. Dividing the government into three branches will make sure one branch is not becoming more powerful than another, eliminating the chances of it becoming ruled by a monarch or despot. Locke believed that the government should never even be given such a great amount of power.
Critical Analysis on “The Missing Piece to the Gang-Violence Debate.” Dan Gardner’s publish, “The Missing Piece to the Gang-Violence Debate”, is strongly controversial in his position against increasing enforcement of drug laws, and boosting penalties for violators. He believes that you should actually limit enforcement and hardship of sentencing when it comes to drugs. Was his argument persuasive enough in the essay to actually influence his wishes into society? Personally, I don’t think so. Gardner’s ideas are too drastic and I believe he didn’t have enough support in his argument that his plans would actually decrease the murders in gang violence.
Banning meetings that were not approved by a local magistrate which policy was designed to keep a close watch on illegal gatherings. 3. Effectively abolishing Trade Unions when Pitt banned the “combination of men”. This impacted on the radical movement as the trade union was the only method working men had of redressing grievances
Injustice is basically when somebody has been wronged and when adding collector is when somebody has been wronged many times over their life. Society in my opinion cannot protect themselves against these types of people because we have no way of knowing who they are. For all we know our teachers or best friend could be just like Cho, but we will never know until they lash out. The only possible way would to mandate a law requiring everybody to never wrong anybody in the world, which as we all know could not be
He made a few speeches that give the audience a bad view of him and make him look arrogant and ignorant. “…Just because the Kaiser makes a speech or two…Everything to loose with war, and nothing to gain.” And to Eric, “…And I say there isn’t a chance of
Since this is a tyrannical government, the citizens have no choice but to go outside. This backfired for the government because Montag created chaos and was never caught! In Farenheit 451, books
As punishment Polynices will suffer as the example for the people, that no matter who you are, royal or not the full force of the kings’ power will be use against you. This is common practice for anyone that is new to a position of power especially when one is such as the story of “Antigone”. We see a clear example of Creon trying to hide the fact that Antigone was the one to disobey him by telling the guard to not say anything of the news. A King that is irrational would have not tried to calm the problem or solve it and would make Antigone a public example just like Polynices. King Creon does not even have a chance to truly make Antigone understand his point before she takes matters in to her own hands and take her own life.
King points out, “I would agree with St. Augustine that “an unjust law is no law at all” (218). An unjust law, to Martin Luther King Jr., is not a law that people should follow. Martin Luther King Jr. disobeyed the laws and protested did sit-ins and even spoke against the white people. Although he felt he was exercising his right to freedom of speech, everyone else felt he was breaking the laws by speaking out and not obeying the segregated areas. This led to the assassination of King in
He called together meetings in places that were far away from their own public records only to pretty much bore and tire them into obeying whatever he wanted. Then he repeatedly broke up the Representative Houses for opposing his views on invading into the rights of the people. The Representative House didn’t like how the king wanted to attack people’s personal rights so the king would just get rid of them. Then, after terminating them, he refused for a long time to allow others to be elected into those positions. His actions just showed how much he didn’t care and how he got in the way of the development of the state as a whole.
