"Yes, I should have used two email addresses, one for personal matters and one for my work at the State Department. Not doing so was a mistake. I'm sorry about it, and I take full responsibility" (Gearan). As the current presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton stated on September 8th, 2015, she admitted to her mistakes for controversial email decisions in recent years. Hillary Clinton has been caught in a web of scandals during her political years, including when she wasn’t in political positions as her husband's scandals were involving her. In 2015, the most recent scandal involves Hillary’s use of her personal email and its relation with classified information. Hillary has debated claims that she was involved with sending classified information and instead, should have just been sending everything through a governmental …show more content…

“For the four years she was secretary of state, Clinton never used an official state.gov email address”(Voorhees). She would instead rely on her private email account on her own server for her governmental business (Voorhees). The scandal has not stopped Hillary’s campaign for president, even if when first released some would argue that it dropped her poll numbers due to lack of trust. The ethical responsibilities and problems in this email scandal are clear: Hillary should not have taken it upon herself to decide to follow her own way of doing government business as well as she should not have incriminated herself by deleting 31,830 emails (Voorhees). Hillary Clinton is a person of great influence and power; therefore, in return she should be an ethical decision maker. Because she is busy going against the world’s code of ethics, she is not doing her job to the best of her

There are so many unanswered questions left-over from this scandal that it really makes it hard to say that it was resolved and even harder to decide whether or not it was resolved in a positive or negative manner. This is also not to say that there weren’t ways in which the crisis was resolved in positive ways. The more positive ways that this predicament was resolved in are still able to be seen today as after all of this happened Congress passed various laws in regards to government ethics, campaign financing, and freedom of information. Although there were many, many

She avoids questions, gives non-answers, and outright lies for at least three pages of text before giving the truth. At the start of the inspector’s questioning, she says that she doesn’t recognise Eva. Then when the inspector asks about the charity, she doesn’t answer him. She believes that the inspector has no right to be questioning her as she says, “and if I was what business is it of yours?” she seems to feel she is above the law and doesn’t need to answer to the inspector and at this point, she has already been arrogant and condescending throughout the play, so the audience doesn’t like her and is just waiting for her downfall and perhaps they are rooting for it, so her stubbornness is just building the audiences dislike of her as well as their

There have been a lot of different President Scandals. The one with Thomas Jefferson and his slave and when they fell in love with each other and had at least one child, I think that's okay for me. I wouldn't think anything bad about Thomas Jefferson, he just liked her, but I also think that if someone had discovered this when Jefferson was alive, I think they would have killed them or punished him with something. With the Andrew Jackson's one with his girlfriend who became his wife, I think that it's okay with this one, too. Jackson and Rachel just were in love and it was Rachel's choice to run away and marry Jackson

On January 27, 2004, Martha Stewart stood on trial facing charges of conspiracy, obstruction, securities fraud, and lying to investigators in connection with the sale of her stock in ImClone, a biopharmaceutical company (Gibson, Warin, & Gassaway, 2008). Just three years earlier, Stewart sold her stocks that she had within the company. After two days, the organization 's stock dropped 16 percent when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it had rejected the company’s new project of a drug, Erbitux, which was meant to be for cancer treatment (Leite, 2012). Stewart had controlled 4,000 shares of ImClone and by selling (or getting rid of, depending on who you ask) her shares, just before the FDA 's declaration, she kept away from

As important as the terrorist part of the scandal is, there is more crucial parts to this event in history that is relevant for today. It is relevant for today, because I don’t believe that America learned it’s lesson- I don’t know we ever will! America dealing with Iran and Iraq back then obviously had a lot of problems, but America today has many more problems that are getting out of hand.

Initially, Clinton denied the allegations presented before him regarding his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, later stating that he wanted to protect his wife, Hilary, and daughter, Chelsea. It was likely he admitted zero wrongdoing at an attempt to save face, thus protecting his image and legacy. Although he was nearing the end of his second term as president, protecting his image would have been of benefit to the Democratic Party, as well as assisting with getting more of his public policies through the House. After the Supreme Court hearing, Clinton did come clean and was honest regarding his ongoing relationship with Lewinsky; unfortunately, it was too late and the damage had been done. In the past, when political leaders had faced similar or worse allegations, those who admitted the lapse in judgment or err in their ways from the beginning, were typically forgiven and did not suffer the long-term effects of their poor choices.

Hillary Clinton’s main purpose is to explain everyone how women’s rights are human rights. This is stated clearly as main claim and a conclusion in her speech. “If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights once and for all” (Clinton). She supports her main claim through inductive logic by giving examples of what women are suffering from. Clinton mentions about how the society is violating women’s right by stating how women are being set on fire, raped, abused, which is against the human rights.

After the scandal occurred in 2002, Stewart tried to defend her reputation and her case on a segment from the Morning Show of CBS with additional statements that her spokeswoman, Susan Magrino, gave in her place (O’Rourke, 2004). After the initial attempts that she gave to defend herself, the only public or press coverage from the following year only came from The New Yorker magazine article written by Jeffrey Toobin from his lunch interview with Stewart (O’Rourke, 2004). Ten days after the incident, she resigned from the board of directors of MSLO while retaining the title of founding director of editorials, where she could still give advice for design and development of products (O’Rourke, 2004). The MSLO Company relied on the image of Martha Stewart for the sole source of the equity of their brand of products and ventures and that represent the main problem with the incident occurring and effecting the business (Argenti & Druckenmiller, 2004). If other companies that did not have the image of the company resting on an individual’s reputation had the same occurrence from a CEO or business leader, the brand equity would not have as much of a probability to suffer.

The main issue in the Snowden controversy is the conflicting rights of private individuals and the US government with regard to the use of telecommunications and the internet. There are ethical issues surrounding this controversy and the most applicable ethical approach for this case is “Ethics by Rights Approach”. As a background, the reason why US government had declared Edward Snowden a traitor is his involvement in the leaking of about 1.7 million confidential US documents, 15,000 Australian intelligence files and 58,000 British intelligence files from the National Security Agency (or NSA) to the public. These confidential information were acquired by the NSA through the PRISM program by collaborating with big internet companies such

“...there 's a bluebird in my heart that, wants to get out, but I pour whiskey on him and inhale, cigarette smoke, and the whores and the bartenders, and the grocery clerks, never know that, he 's. in there....” As indicated by the above excerpt from his poem Bluebird, poet Charles Bukowski built a name for himself through his ability to deprive himself of the basic human need of confiding, revealing and simply being emotionally transparent. For many, erecting a facade of ruggedness and apathy can protect what may be delicate inside—it’s a common defense mechanism, which especially rang true for Bukowski, who suffered from abuse at the hand of his father during his childhood. As a result, Bukowski fixated himself on concocting a larger than life caricature of himself as someone who was extremely tough and devoid of any “soft” emotions over his career.

527 participants were invited to take part in our study. The group of participants was a mixture of male and female adults. All of them were happy to take part in the experiment and were recompensed by some partners of ours at the end of the project. From the beginning on, we had a clear and well structured expectation of the outcome of the sexual scandal experiment. Not only us but many others too can imagine that most people would treat a sexual scandal with the case of a female politician involved differently from a case with a male politician involved.
