However, this only led to political corruption, people saying they would do something to help the people and people would believe and put their trust into this "person" to only be blackmailed in the end. These "people" were called political bosses and they had their little organization or political machines and people would do them favors to gain jobs or etc. This growing "government" was a mixed bag for the American people,

A healthcare administrator must use good judgment. They must be able to adjust their behavior to each situation, but must understand that conflicts will occur between different expectations in the code of ethics.

At the turn of the century, Canada had just been a country for 37 years. In those years it had seen no wars and their only threat seemed to be the United States, with who they had been at peace for a century. Since 1896, the Laurier government had succeeded in building a new Canada that was more industrialized, more urban, more diversified in its ethnic composition and in the values of various interest groups. Unfortunately, Laurier’s success waned when the compromises he was making no longer satisfied both the English and the French of Canada. This paper is an examination of how the Naval Crisis, Reciprocity and the corruption imbedded in the Laurier government eliminated the chances of Laurier winning the 1911 Canadian election.

Among the most powerful and striking filmic composition in all of cinema, Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood renders the notion that power and conflict catalyses corruption upon an individual, divulging the monster of greed, money, and lust for power that is obscured beneath a casuistic and moralising facade. One that appears innocent and untainted by the grasp of corruption soon begins to be consumed by a desire for more, sacrificing the purpose of previous ambitions. The underlying motif of oil, symbolising impurity and sin, is a prominent tool in the portrayal of corruption within the film.
