Socio-Economic Factors Against Corruption

Jeanette Walls’ memoir, The Glass Castle, recounts Jeanette’s unusual childhood. Through her recollection, there are numerous examples of experiences she endures to progress through Erikson’s eight stages of Psychosocial development. With each chapter, the reader is able to trace her development from one stage to the next through stories of her childhood and adolescence. Each anecdote highlights the struggles of her early developmental stages which she inevitably overcomes to have a positive, successful adulthood. While recollecting her memories, she is able to come to terms with her dysfunctional past which is proof that she has successfully maneuvered through Erickson’s stages of development.

The bureaucracy is a major base of power that can be difficult to control. Max Weber believed that bureaucracies shared certain characteristics: chain of command, division of labor, and impersonality. The chain of command is a form of organization characterized by a hierarchical structure of authority. In a military context, for example, the chain of command is the line of authority and responsibility along which orders are passed within a military unit and between different units. The division of labor is when work is divided among specialized workers in order to improve productivity. Impersonality are when persons are treated on “merit” principles; all “clients” served are treated equally, according to rules, and records are maintained.

During the 1877 through 1920 the government's role wasn't really expanding, instead people were getting furious that the government weren't really doing anything to improve life so they started going on strikes, making unions, and bringing people of different cause together to try to force the government into being useful. 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,

The level of influence a time period has on a country is defined by its political, economic, and social change. The 1920s was one of the most influential decades in the history of the United States. Corrupt politicians, tax cuts for the rich and new opportunities for women signify the influence of the Roaring 20s.

“Being president doesn’t change who you are. It reveals who you are,” (Obama Michelle). Definition of corrupt, dishonest or illegal behavior, specifically by powerful people, such as government officials or police officers (Merriam-Webster). Many leaders are corrupt, but that doesn’t mean that power caused their corruption. They were probably like that before. The power just exposed the part of their personality that they may have been trying to hide from the world.

The reason why the informal economy is crucial to both analyze its definition and function in our capitalist nation is because people residing within power structures have applied a malfeasant connotation which forces people with privilege to identify struggling individuals and use them as scapegoats to demonstrate the high levels of poverty in the United States. One of the reasons that could explain the growth and expansion of the informal economy is that it is “driven by the structure of the world economy and processes of economic globalization” (Roberts 2013). Along these lines, transforming its negative and criminalized view into a positive mechanism that helps individuals and families, mostly of color, generate income for the main purpose of survival and making ends meet would be more accepting

The global garment industry, worth more than $400 billion dollars today, is a very lucrative industry. Garment factories in developing countries working for retailers in developed ones shows how efficiency is increased and every party can benefit through outsourcing of labour from developed countries; retailers and consumers get clothes at cheaper prices while employment is provided to areas plagued with poverty. However, it is evident that many of these garment factories are sweatshops, which are factories and businesses that violates local or international labour laws, such as providing workers with atrocious working conditions, providing minimal compensation or even employing child labour. Like it or not, many of our clothes does not come ethically and they have probably encouraged labour exploitation in one way or another. How have sweatshops benefitted society or caused harm to it? This research paper will identify and analyse the significance of sweatshops, reasons for its prevalence and compare its positive and negative impacts on society.

The subject of sweatshop and child labor is one of great controversy. The first thought to mind when speaking of sweatshops is probably a vision of sketchy factories in far off Third World countries such as Bangladesh or China working their employees 15+ hours a day in cramped up in a dust-filled space for little wages. Not in America though, right? Most Americans would be horribly upset if they found out they had been unknowingly supporting a business that uses sweatshops to produce its merchandise. Odds are though, businesses that exploit such labor are being supported in every shopping trip a person takes whether it be shopping for groceries, clothes, jewelry, or athletic gear. And, unfortunately, it’s more prevalent in America than many may believe.

Chinua Achebe, in his widely cited book, "The Trouble with Nigeria" accurately pointed out that "the trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership."

The crime of human trafficking indisputably extends to the farthest boundaries of the world, a transgression that occurs in the most advanced countries as well as the least advanced countries. Human trafficking is exploitation of the human body with more than twenty-seven million victims across the world. Trafficking victims may suffer from sexual as well as labor related exploitation, resulting in sexually transmitted diseases, physical abuse, and unwanted pregnancy. This is a conundrum that does not just affect the United States. While global organizations work specifically in this area of corruption to come up with temporary

Acemoglu and Robinson (2012) have as a first example two cities, which are somehow in a similar situation like North and South Korea. They are also next to each other with similar climate and the only difference between the two countries are that while Nogales, Sonora is in Mexico, Nogales, Arizona is in the United States. Thus, the authors argue that in cases like this, the only explanation for the differences in their economic performance can be made through explaining their different political systems. They describe that Nogales, Arizona is a part of the States, which also means that they take advantage of the well developed economic and political institutions that encourages them to do business and develop the production. They have also the possibility to access great education and health systems and they might have an active part in the democratic process, such as elections. On the other hand, Nogales, Sonora is in Mexico, which is part of the Mexican institution system, where corruption is well known and therefore provide less incentive for businessmen to invest (Acemoglu & Robinson, 2012, p. 25-29).
