...Politics and Security in Southeast Asia: Terrorists, Gangsters and the State Name Course Date The issue of security and corruption are related because of how they influence each other. Over the passage of time, the security forces in various countries have compromised their ethical behavior to try and gain wealth. As such, they end up compromising the safety of a country and putting the welfare of the citizens at stake. It is imperative to note that the success of any nation or society depends on the security situation prevailing at any given time. However, the current situation in most of the countries is that of political corruption. Thus, the individuals in charge of security take bribes thus influencing the safety status of a state (Magazzino 2014). According to the constitution of any state, the primary role of the government is to offer security to their citizens at all times. Besides, they are charged with the responsibility of appointing the security personnel that will be in charge of those operations . Therefore, the government acts according to the mandate bestowed upon them by the constitution of the country to protect their citizens in the right manner. If they fail in such duties, the citizens have the power to ask for changes in the leadership at that time. Based on the previous analysis, it is evident that the government plays a significant role in the security situation in any given country (Perito...

...In English Renaissance drama, the focus on the body is apparent with the female tragic protagonist. Revenge tragedies tap into fears of female sexuality, relating more broadly to issues of to female agency. Women’s roles, their power, and the destruction of their sexual morals can often be linked to the societal and patriarchal control of their bodies. From Annabella from ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore to Gloriana from The Revenger’s Tragedy, control of women’s agency through manipulation of their bodies is profoundly evident. Revenge tragedy is a feminine genre in spite of the fact that the revenge protagonists are usually male and female characters appears to play more passive roles (Findlay 49). It is interesting then that the women of these plays brutally die. In this paper, I will exploring these issues of control over women’s bodies in Renaissance tragedy, analyzing how it effects their agency as free-minded individuals, as well as examining the condemnation it presents of female sexuality. To begin with, in ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore (1633) by John Ford, the female protagonist, Annabella, has an incestuous sexual relationship with her brother, Giovanni. After Giovanni and Annabella make love for the first time, Giovanni reflects on why the losing of one’s virginity is so important (2.1. 1922). Annabella justifies that it is not important to him because he is a man. Here in lies one of the first instances of the sexual double-standard in the play, as emphasis on virginity...

...St. Augustine’s idea that evil is correspondent to the diminution of good forces readers to identify evil on a scale from almost complete corruption to perfect virtue. This scale is far more compelling than binary options of right and wrong behavior. When examining novel characters, the question should not primarily be whether actions are right or wrong, but how far removed from perfect virtue is the action. To put it simply, the term wrong or vice is not a substantive term on the scale by which critics examine literary texts; wrong is simply the term used to label actions that deviate more severely from perfect virtue (substance). The same can be said of hot and cold—cold is simply the term used to define the removal of energy. According to Augustine, to measure something by its wrongness, is to use a phantom ruler or measuring stick—measuring evil is measuring nothing. In response to something that is void of virtue Augustine writes, “Evil simply could not be, since it can have no mode in which to exist, nor any source from which corruption springs, unless it be something corruptible” (9). Augustine’s view of evil creates a framework by which all existence possesses some value of goodness; if it possessed no virtue, it would cease to exist....

Many are former employees of Monsanto. A former director of Monsanto made the statement Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food that is the job of the FDA. The FDA says that food manufactures should be responsible for what they produce. Ironically, the FDA is controlled largely by Monsanto, and Monsanto is regulated by the United States Government, with neither side willing to take ownership of the issue. The first Monsanto appointees in the FDA were placed under the first Bush administration. In each subsequent administration more appointees were taken from Monsanto. President Obama is responsible for the largest number...

...Charles Dickens In Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist Nancy prepares to escape from the torment of Bill Sikes, not realizing she is being followed by a subordinate of Sikes. She meets Mr. Brownlow and provides details about Monks, letting him know that she intends to help Oliver escape. This information is relayed to Sikes and shortly thereafter, Nancy is beaten to death. Nancy is a morally ambiguous character who wrestles with making the right decisions. She serves as a common Dickens character who tries to do right but gets crushed by a cruel world. In Dickens’s world, people grow and change over time and can be easily influenced by the world’s vices. People enter the world innocent and rational, but as they age, society seeks to break them. Still, Dickens believes that some, like Nancy, can free themselves from society’s influence and become more compassionate. Dickens lauds those who reflect the created order by showing concern for the needs of others, regardless of social standing or background; he also believes that humans can become corrupted by the world, so discovering inherent goodness is a struggle. People enter the world innocent and rational, and society quickly preys on them. Society strives to form each person into what it wants, changing how people grow over their lives. Scrooge of A Christmas Carol was once compassionate towards others and becomes hard-hearted after tragic events. He lost a sister and grew stingier, driving those in his life away. He comes to...

...Under Noy, RP the most corrupt in Asia SHOOTING STRAIGHT By Bobit Avila (The Freeman) | Updated August 20, 2015 - 12:00am Last year, on May 26, 2014, the big news headlines splashed in our major newspapers and on nationwide television was the report made public by Sen. Teofisto Guingona III where he exposed the names of 20 senators and 100 congressmen, including the names of their alleged agents in the pork barrel transactions that were written in the affidavit of Janet Lim Napoles. Then Sen. Guingona said, “In the spirit of transparency and the search of truth, and in line with my commitment to uphold the public interest, we are going to release to the media and the public and to my fellow senators, the copies of these two affidavits, let the documents speak for itself! ” As we all know now, the Supreme Court granted the petition for bail sought by former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile who is being held for plunder charges that was featured in the affidavit of Janet Lim Napoles, which Sen. Guingona exposed to the public more than a year ago. The SC imposed a P1 million bail bond for JPE. I reckon that the two other senators incarcerated with JPE, Sen. Jinggoy Estrada and Sen. Bong Revilla, the SC will soon give the same bail conditions to these two senators. I don’t know why the Department of Justice (DoJ) or should we call them the Department of Injustice is foot-dragging on these cases? Lest we forget, there are 20 senators and 100 congressmen implicated by Janet Lim...

...Police Corruption The problems within our police departments Police corruption has become a very difficult and touchy topic to handle. Not only is it detrimental to the department, but it is something we can’t have in our community. Unfortunately it has become more and more common amongst the police departments in the United States. It has led to very bad cases such as crash in California and even the New Jersey state police lords of discipline. Police corruption can be easily solved, and it is very important to have programs like Internal Affairs to keep the officers in line. A lot of people feel that with the structure of our system and so many loopholes everywhere else that it may be easy for a cop to be corrupt. The biggest reason that police corruption occurs is because the officers abuse their given authority because they feel they have the power to do what they want when they want. Another reason police corruption happens is because they hit a bust on drugs and a cop likes the drugs so they take a little bit and don’t tell anyone. This not only is wrong for an officer, but for anyone to do and it gives the criminal less of a charge because they weren’t sentenced with as much stuff as they really had when busted. Police corruption falls into two different categories internal corruption and external corruption. Internal meaning it involves the people that work within the department, and external involves police contacts within the public. There are 3...

...disagree with this assessment and support your opinion with examples from the text. Jonathan Swift is undoubtedly is a great artist. He had to face unreasonable and prejudiced criticism in the hands of his contemporaries because he had unveiled the brutality of man which was hidden under the mask of humanism. Swift’s age was full of vices of corruption but still the people were satisfied. Swift gives us a true picture of the man of that age in “Gulliver’s Travels”. In the last voyage, his satire becomes very bitter when he presents horses more reasonable than man. Swift is notorious for being Misanthropist in the last part of the “Gulliver’s Travels” Swift has to face the allegation of being misanthropist for during whole of his life. It is because the critics attributed Gulliver’s blunders to Swift. But, he makes his aim in “Gulliver’s Travels” clear in his letter to Alexander Pope. He says, “The chief end of all my labour is to vex the world, rather than divert it”. Secondly, he declares that “He has ever hated all the nations, professions and communities and all his love for individuals.” He hates men but loves man. He hates the animal like vices in man; the crown of creation. He was shocked to see the follies of men of his age and didn’t consider this reasonable. But, this does not mean that he hates mankind, as he writes to Pope, “I tell you after all that I don’t hate mankind; it is you others, who hate them, because you would have them reasonable animals and are...

...Introduction - The study of bribery and corruption in the courtroom is paramount to protecting the rights of every person seeking justice. The fact that a judge or District Attorney is 99% honest simply will not suffice. Even the 1% must be treated fairly and equally under the laws of our country. Just like Jesus would leave the ninety-nine to go after the one, we must protect everyone equally under the laws established. Meditate on the words of Edmund Burke “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” The study and revelation of courtroom corruption is significant because I have personally observed bribery in the hallways of courtrooms in North Carolina. A wise man once told me that the courtroom is not black or white, but green because the person with the most money is routinely dispensed the best outcome. Another personal reason that this topic is personally significant is because I now reside in the state of Mississippi where the 2004 Corporate Crime Reporter asserted that our state was the most crooked state in America. (Mokhibar, 2004) I. The problem is that too many times the issues in the courtroom are not really about the truth. A.
