The scandal they’ve caused was of epic proportions. Its repercussions can still be felt today. There are many reasons why people spy against their own country. Sometimes, greed is the motivation as with the CIA agent Aldrich Ames. Sometimes, sexual liaisons expose them to a blackmail, eventually landing them in jail such as the French ambassador Maurice Dejean who had extramarital affairs.
The wars with Afghanistan and Iraq caused the U.S. to be in severe debt even after former presidents managed to balance the budget. On top of that, the feuding Democrat and Republican parties continue to blame each other for the financial crisis the United States are currently in. Any person will look at a crusty old dollar lying in between a sewer grate without realizing how much power it holds in the world. Washington was smart by putting Alexander Hamilton in charge of controlling all of the national finances. He made sure that he was putting his money in the hands of someone he trusted.
Greed is a powerful motivator, in this country we have many people and events in history that show us how powerful of a motivator greed can be, from people like Andrew Carnegie, to the gold rush. Greed has motivated people to great lengths throughout history, and greed has taken this country and made the United States the superpower it is today. The cycle of business can be broken down into very simple steps. People turn their greed into services and provide services to other people for money. A business is then formed from these people, and they become business people.
August 28, 2012 A Summary of “Correcting the Mistakes of Parenting” The article “Correcting the Mistakes of Parenting” by Ruben Navarrette Jr., discusses today’s current ideology in parenting and how it’s affecting today’s generation. He begins his article by stating the obvious by informing the reader that a child’s love cannot be won by buying everything in plain sight. With the reader’s attention now caught by this sarcastic yet undeniable truth, he continues his article by presenting a survey that was conducted to gather the opinions of both the parents and their children. What really caught his attention was not what the parents had to say, but instead by the fact that the kids themselves stated that they have no intention of ever raising their own kids the same way. The writer then proceeds to discuss how today’s parents who were born during the baby-boomer era, were raised alienated from their parents and feel that is it their civic duty to make that up by trying to be “best-friends” with their children instead of being an authoritative figure like how they intentionally should be.
Well with more money comes more power and greed which causes corruption, because you just want more of it. Well to back this up, there is a man named Jack Abramoff who was a former lobbyist that recently got out of prison and served three and a half years due to his corrupted ways. Which he is now viewed as a symbol of how money is corrupting Washington. In his recent interview he talks about his Lobbyist playbook and explains how he asserted his influence in Congress for years, and how such corruption continues today despite ethics reform.

The Concept of Dystopia In the novel Anthem and in the movie The Island, Rand and Bay use the concept of dystopia to connect characters, symbols, and society. “I shall call to me my friend who has no name save international 4-8818, and those like him… I and they, my chosen friends, my fellow builders, shall write the first chapter in the new history of man( pg. ).” Equality connects to this quote because as he progresses in knowledge he realises that he can not complete his ideal society with only Liberty, his soon to come child, and himself. Equality wants all of his former friends to find out and feel exactly what freedom really means. this drives equality to come to the conclusion that he will go back and retrieve his friends from this evil society and start the first chapter of history for mankind.
Most are from poor countries looking for money to support their families. Human trafficking is so profitable and the cartels are so powerful that it has become a norm in some countries. There are people in these parts of the world who turn the blind eye to the many victims of this heinous crime. I would argue that countries can do more but I think in some instances cartels are paying governments to turn blind eye and the love of money is over ruling the morality of the situations. In 2002, a high ranking government official in the Yugoslav Republic was busted for participation in a human trafficking ring.
The third letter represents the military action or more often the threat of military power. And the final letter corresponds to economics. In Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins exposes the manipulation of other foreign governments by the United States government in international relations through economies. As an economist for the company MAIN, Perkins travels to third world or developing countries such as Indonesia and Panama in order to cheat them out of billions of dollars. These EHMs (aka: economic hit men) take money out of “aid” organizations and use it to increase the pocket money of American businessmen, and members of the “corporatocracy” (Perkins 31).
