...forms in the work place; whether it’s your boss, co-worker, or a customer. Sometimes people tend to take sexual harassment very hard; especially if the individual that’s being harassed is married. This type of issue can be very hard to talk about sometimes, especially if you have the feeling that someone might not believe you. Kaminsky (2006) states that; “Staying in the realm of the government, President Clinton himself came under fire for alleged sexual harassment. Paula Jones was a state employee when Clinton was Governor of Arkansas. In 1991, she claimed that Clinton exposed himself and asked her for oral sex in a hotel room. Clinton denied all allegations. After several rounds of filing, Jones's lawsuit was dismissed for failing to state a claim. During the appeals process, a settlement was reached. Jones dropped her suit against Clinton in exchange for $850,000. However, she never received an admission of guilt or an apology. Jones's allegations paved the way for investigating the President's sex life. The Monica Lewinsky scandal and the impeachment of President Clinton were big follow-ups to the Paula Jones case.” I believe victims of sexual harassment should be taken care of at the upmost. You never know how a person is feeling about the situation and might try to get back at the other individual violently. What if one of these women wanted to get back at the president in a harmful way because of it? Just because he is the president I feel this should have been taken care...

In this paper we will discuss such processes as Clinton’s sexual scandal with Monica Lewinsky and Clinton recovery as well as their impact on American economy and history. The Clinton's Scandal The point of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky sexual scandal was in the following: from 1995 to 1997 Monica was a trainee in The White house and intimate relations between Monica and the President Clinton were built and developed. Their relationships were disrupted at the same time as Lewinsky was transferred to work in Pentagon. Lewinsky had mentioned about her connection with President while talking on the phone to her friend named Linda Tripp, who was a political activist.

Actually, the reason for the investigation appeared not the fact of sexual relations between the President and Lewinsky, because a breach of faith is not regarded in the USA as a crime or malfeasance. During questioning Clinton was asked if he had...

...Constantinos Scaros Colorado Technical University President Bill Clinton’s impeachment scandal In 1998 President Bill Clinton was questioned about several allegations that he had harassed and/or had sexual relationships with women that worked under him. He became the first President to ever be involved in questioning as a civil defendant. In the testimony both President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky denied having a sexual relationship, though there were tapes found of conversations between Lewinsky and her co-worker Linda Tripp that suggested otherwise. It seemed that everyone was on the President’s side when it came to the affair charges, even his wife Hilary Clinton. The first lady was quoted as saying that the entire thing was a “vast right-wing conspiracy to destroy her husband.” ("Lewinsky scandal,") On the 17th of August President Clinton took the stand and testified in front of the grand jury to admit his wrong. He then later went on national television to admit to the American people that not only had he been lying for months but that he had indeed had an extramarital affair during his presidency with Monica Lewinsky. In September of that year Starr Jones sent a document nearly 500 pages long to the White House giving four different reasons why the President should be impeached. These included perjury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and abuse of authority. ("Lewinsky scandal,") The house committee considered the document through October and November and decided...

...Self-Esteem over Logic and Beliefs Columbia College, Missouri Abstract Self-Esteem gives a person the right to value themselves. Our self-esteem sometimes overpowers our logic, and can lead us to act in ways that are not always our own. This paper examines how the following theories; Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, Self- Evaluation Maintenance Theory, Self-Affirmation Theory, Rationalization Trap and Self-Discrepancy Theory impact a person's self-esteem decisions. Where people in different cases come to realize that the choices they have made overpower their superior perfect logic, they have to deal with the consequences that come along with the choices they have made. Self-Esteem over Logic and Beliefs According to Cherry (2010), “self-esteem is how a person values oneself”. It is a personality trait which comes from the inside of a person. It is all about what one believes about his/her looks, emotions, and behavior. It is an extremely essential need in a person so they can behave normally and be socially healthy. Self-esteem is intertwined with a person’s thoughts, and can also be called self-worth, self-respect or self-value. According to Kruger and Dunning (1999), “People often hold overly complimentary opinions of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains.” Many individuals end up doing things wrong without even realizing it, for the sake of a positive self-esteem. This paper will give examples of behavior that throw logic and common sense...

...Dangerous Women They fight with power, speak with persuasion and play with seduction. Their humor is cold and wet and they strive to make a name for themselves. They nurture and take care of their followers but they also make time to get down to business. Don’t worry, I knew what you were thinking, but this has nothing to do with any sort of political election, well almost nothing. For once this is about the women. For many centuries, women would seldom leave their houses. They weren’t tied up, or locked in, so why were they always there? Women worked and spent most of their time cleaning the house, doing dishes and taking care of her children because that is what society and men expected from all women back then. “They did what they could to assure that women carried out their supportive roles as faithful and deferential helpers and nurturing companions” (Hoffert, 15). Men were the breadwinners and were physically stronger than any women, or so they liked to believe. For men, their physical strength is what made them so powerful in the world and amongst the opposite sex. But unfortunately for the men, they forgot that women posses a strong sense of mental and emotional strength, making them extremely dangerous in any situation. Women were stepped on for so many years, and they were tired of being treated like flies. Of course they all wanted the perfect love story with the perfect family, but had ambitions to accomplish so much more. Women wanted to make it known to all...

...[pic] [pic] Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Practical Training Paper-V) Essay submitted by Vidya R John 1st Year LLB, 2nd Semester Sexual Harassment at Work Place [pic] It all began when Bhanwari Devi, a saathin or village-level worker in Bateri in Rajasthan's Bassi tehsil took a stand, risking her life and her family's, showing extraordinary courage in the face of a social boycott after five men raped her in 1992 when she tried to stop a child marriage. But she stood her ground. The incident changed her life and shaped the women's movement in Rajasthan. The most frightening part was that the heinous crime was committed to teach Bhanwari Devi a lesson for exposing a child marriage in the village. The five accused took it almost like a challenge to hurt Bhanwari Devi. 18 years on, Bhanwari Devi’s fight for justice continues. But after that day on September 22, 1992, the movement managed one significant victory, the Vishakha judgment of August 1997. The verdict, on a PIL filed by Vishakha and four other women's groups in Rajasthan against the State and the Union of India, provided the basic definitions of sexual harassment at the workplace and also laid down guidelines for dealing with it. Sexual Harassment affects all women in some form or the other. Lewd remarks, touching, wolf-whistles, looks are part of any woman’s life, so much so that it is dismissed as...

...destroy the privacy life. Because some people don’t have right to private life. Therefore, this essay will discuss about public figures have no right to their private life , relating to politicians and celebrities and suggest that public figures should not be entitled to any privacy in their private lives. Politicians are the presenter of the countries; in addition, they take many responsibilities: ministry of law and ministry of finance. If politicians are doing something that might be considered immoral such as press stories about his affair with a woman, it causes embarrassment to the country. For example “ in interview with former president Clinton, Dan Rather asked Bill Clinton the tough question about his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky: Why? "For the worst possible reason. Just because I could," said Mr. Clinton” (CBSNEWS, June 20, 2004). The Ministry of law is responsible for making the law, which is used to control the societies to be a peaceful country. If they use the law in the wrong ways such as using the law for their advantages; as a result, it brings significant loss to the country. Besides, the ministry of finance takes responsibility for making the law about taxation, which is used in order to develop many facilities for citizen. In contrast, some of politicians have a big industry, but they avoid paying taxes on their amount. This situation causes damage to the country. In 2009, Obama Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner admitted that he failed...

...Hello, It is good to chat with you again! This last assignment was a pretty tough one on more than one count. Not only did I have to cover the current political campaign, but I also had to do incredible amounts of online research to make sure that I provided as much background as I could for my reader. And as you know, it can be very difficult to sift through all of the many sites that are out there that claim to be reporting valid political information so along with making sure that I provided quality information, I had to make sure that I was only researching quality information as well. Sites such as Politico and The Hill are clearly reputable and so I used them quite a bit during my reporting. Other sites, such as The Drudge Report and Daily Kos are both basically open blogs and do not provide information that I felt warranted including in my work. For example, it is clear just by looking at the home page of the Drudge Report, that it could never be used as a reputable source. Unfortunately, not all sites are as clearly laid out and it was very time consuming picking my sources. As a journalist, it is my responsibility to be sure that I provide a fair, honest, and balanced account of the campaign. The people of the United States rely on reporters for the majority of the information that they get on the campaign. They are not able to have the up-close sessions that we reporters have so often. Because we tend to be privy to much more information than the public, it is our...

...The Hobbesian theme of Greed and dishonesty is also seen in the Harding Administration during the Teapot Dome Scandal of 1923. In 1912, Taft decided that the oil reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming and Elk Hills, California would be set aside for the US Navy to use. When Albert Fall was appointed Secretary of Interior under Harding, asked the Secretary of Navy, Edwin Denby if he could lease some of the reserves to the Mammoth Oil Company. While legal at the time to do so, it was still pretty suspicious that Fall was gaining huge amounts of money from these leases. Finally, On 14th April, 1922, The Wall Street Journal announced that Fall had leased Teapot Dome to Harry F. Sinclair and as a result, senators such as Robert La Follette demanded...

...to the girl scouts and the election is less than two weeks away. A brief encounter with a Firefly Girl becomes public knowledge, and now his 17% lead is about to go downhill. The president's opponents get wind of the story and use it to their advantage. Thus, this led the president's Public Relations team to take action regarding the crisis. Winifred Ames played by Anne Heche, one of the President's top aides, calls in spin doctor extraordinary, Conrad Bream (Robert De Niro). Conrad goes to work immediately, thinking of the best way how to turn away the public's attention from the Firefly Girl issue. He came out with the idea to create another bigger issue for the public to think about and over power the bad publicity caused by the sex scandal. "Change the story, change the lead" is his motto, so he decides to manufacture a small, cost-effective war against Albania, which he euphemistically refers to as a pageant. Why he choose Albania of all the countries in the world because the name sounds sinister and no one in the United States knows anything about the country. Hence it will be easier for them to formulate a story about it that people will surely believe eventually. For the plan to manifest, Winifred Ames and Conrad Bream flew to Los Angeles to seek the help of a top...
