Summary: Conard Black's Ethical Violation

The main cause of deficit spending was all of the programs for the New Deal. Many of them, like the WPA, spent lots of many making new jobs or building roads and other buildings. One overall effect of the government practicing the act of deficit spending could cause inflation. During the Great Depression, many people had already gone poor due to the stock market flash. If inflation were to occur it would give the people that lost their money a hard time to buy food, which means supporting a family.

Morgan, Rockefeller, and Carnegie all had their times when they acted like robber barons but the things they did as Captains of Industry over power what they did wrong which shows they did more good than bad. For example Carnegie donated more than $350 million to further public education, and build over 2,500 libraries. He did have times when he had his workers work long hours with little pay but his good, overpowered his bad. Another example was made by Rockefeller, in 1913, The Rockefeller Foundation was officially established and Rockefeller transferred $235,000,000 to it by 1929. He donated his money and proved he was a captain of industry.

The Tweed Ring’s existence came into light between 1866 and 1871, and it begins when William ‘The Boss’ Tweed and his company made it so that all bills to the city would be at least fifty percent fraudulent, later raised to eighty five percent. The affluence went to William ‘The Boss’ Tweed, the city financial officer, the county treasurer, and the mayor. Furthermore, twenty percent of the share would go into bribing officials and businessmen, which led to a diverse following; William ‘The Boss’ Tweed loved to keep them around, and in order to maintain this regime, he ‘provided for all’. Unfortunately, Tweed was very sufficient in keeping up this scam, by fooling even the ‘best’ people by using his silver tongue and having a controllable idiosyncrasy. Being the amazing nineteenth-century

John McKnight author of the article titled “Why Servanthood is bad” describes what service means to him and his dislike on the concept of serving. In his article he talks about the dangerous actions of those who are considered “servers” of the community. One of the negative actions of serving is constantly stealing money from the poor. Half of the money that corresponds to low-income communities is stolen and given to the federal, state even county officials. A great example of this is tax money each person considered low income has to pay taxes and most of the time the government own these people money that they never will obtain back.

During his presidency, Jackson had appointed his friends or “common men” into office to replace other appointed government officials. Many people think that Jackson was trying to modernize the office by replacing the wealthy, but his plan backfired on him. These actions of Jackson are now known as the Spoils System. One of Jackson’s appointees, Samuel Swartwout, was a collector customs for the port of New York. During his time serving, Swartwout stole a total of over 1,000,000 dollars from Washington (which was the first time an official had stolen that much money).

The demand for stock became so great that the prices went up, but the value of the companies didn’t actually increase. The true effect that the consumer culture had on Americans during this period is evidenced through a line in a popular song during the time period, “they used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob” (Song of the Depression: “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?, 230). The new, strong consumer culture that was created caused people to buy stock on credit, but eventually people stopped paying the inflated prices. This was detrimental as the market became flooded with unwanted stock, causing stock prices to drop and a widespread panic. The new consumer culture is what led to 16.5 million shares being sold in one day, which was detrimental to the stock market as it caused the crash on October 29, 1929.

Although, that’s not entirely accurate because many of these students will still end up thousands of dollars in debt, that will take years to pay off. In the College Trap by J.D. Vance he states, “One factor is that a lot of colleges are not “need-blind”: They are simply less likely to accept students who will need more financial aid.” (Vance 32). This proves that many people that need the help affording the education may not get it. This can put many students off from going to college because many counselors will say only apply to colleges that you know you can afford without scholarships because they are not guaranteed.

With the terms of his bankruptcy at an end, his remaining creditors are simply out of luck as Walker gets ready to start his life fresh. Well, fresh with a much different lifestyle. Since the casinos had to write off nearly half a million dollars, it is likely that Walker won 't be invited back to the big money rooms anytime soon, and if he gets into legal trouble he may be looking for a public defender instead of an Italian-suited attorney, since he stiffed his legal team for over $350,000. If you think your credit card companies and banks are worried about your debt, Walker is part of the reason why. Wells Fargo just wrote off nearly $1 million of Walker 's loans.

College educations in America are simply not needed. In the US, people everywhere are going homeless because of the student loan debts that they have because the population cannot create enough well-paying jobs. A college education isn’t as valuable as society says it is. When high school seniors choose to not go to college, it frees up so many jobs for people that have college degrees. For example, when a senior in high school goes to college, that can wreck another person’s dream of becoming an accountant, for instance.

Butt ran into a situation where he didn’t have enough to pay is rent and he had to call his father to ask him for money to help him pay the rest. Butt says “What I see is my name to profit someone else and I got $200 for food, gas, cable, and water.”, he also said that “my rent was $700”, when he was only getting $900 for his scholarship. He also said that “there’s plenty of people who don’t have families that can send them a couple bucks to help out.”, as he also said that there are some people who actually send the money they get back to their families. Butt also said, "I should be the example of why college athletes should be getting paid in college or why I can 't use my name to benefit off my likeness in college.”, he said this statement because of the incident with his rent and also after tearing his right ACL and having to pay for most of his surgery. He also added, "Why can I see 'I Like Jake Butt and I Cannot Lie, ' I see those shirts and I 'm living paycheck-to-paycheck in college.
