President Nixon’s administration attempted to cover-up the scandals and tried to interfere with the FBI investigations about government’s involvement in the scandals. Nixon resigned in 1974 when his involvement in the cover-up of the scandals within his administration became apparent (Bernstein, 2005).
Following the Watergate scandal, the American public henceforth became skeptical regarding the federal government. Consequently, an assertive congress campaign finance reform legislation and began to ...

- Basing my argument on the maxims advanced by Kantian ethics, the banks in the United Kingdom did not act ethically.

Under the second maxim, ethical actions are those that treat people with dignity rather than as means. Under the third maxim, all ethical actions are universally accepted by all human beings. An ethical act should satisfy the threshold set by the three maxims (Crane & Matten, 2010, ...

During the recent global financial crisis, critics have posed the question: does the repeal of Glass-Steagall have a positive or negative effect on the banking industry? Review of the structure of the U.S. banking system has culminated in some consensus that the U.S. government should bring back the Glass-Steagall Act. This is consistent with reporting by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation), that more than one hundred twenty banking institutions have failed between 2007 and 2009, and this was largely in part due to high risk investments (i.e. mortgage backed securities).

First enacted ...

I have learnt that there is need to always communicate when a terrorism event or a natural disaster occurs. This is because the organizational members and the public at large have the right to be informed on the status of the crisis and to know what the disaster team is doing about the disaster, which has occurred. When a crisis occurs, people normally get confused while others begin to fear for their lives and so they need an assurance that everything is under control.

Another thing, which I also noted as important, is that failure to plan is planning to fail and ...

- In what ways did the video "The Crisis of Credit" demonstrate the failure of the banking industry's Fiduciary Relationship to investors and home owners?

The video explains a worldwide financial disaster that effected everyone. It started on the burst of the dot com bubble when the federal reserve of the United States decreased the interest rate to 1%.

The leverage increased as it became very easy to return a loan, so the demand for credit increased rapidly.

The banks took a lot of credit, and they were easily able to payback and made a lot of profits. Investors saw this as ...

Counterterrorism and counterinsurgency are two concepts that are seemingly similar to one another but are substantially different. Terrorists and insurgents are not the same, with both having specific defining characteristics pertaining to their roles (Crisis Group Asia, 2008). Counterterrorism operations are more concerned with fighting terrorists, destabilizing their activities and capturing them. It is important to note that terrorism, in itself, is a strategy employed by various groups with different objectives. Insurgents, on the other hand, only use terrorism as a tactic. They may choose to use it or not but nevertheless, they are still threatening as they ...

Ruether states that the Christianity proclaims that human beings, men in chief, are the embodiment of Jesus or God and hence follows the eco-feministic view of the issue. Nature is only a creation by god that was meant for usage by humans. Moreover, in the ancient times, it was never imagined that humans would ever have more power than the nature itself. Nature was deemed to be the ever powerful and domineering source with no interference from humans. So in its not addressing the issue of present human power being so great that it threatens the very existence of the ...

Role of Federal Reserve
