In this article Mr. Misael Lopez former legal adviser to the Venezuelan embassy in Iraq was caught revealing a secret that the government at the time didn’t want to be revealed. This secret that Lopez reveal was in concern to a passport scheme that was being sold to people who was not Venezuelan and to people who are associated with terrorism, Lopez who is 41 years of age was introduced to this scheme when he started his job at the Venezuelan embassy in July 2013 on his first day when he was handed and envelope containing visa and passport which he was supposed to sell outside of the embassy in order to make a quick buck on the side, however, he declined to offer and we on working but in that process many other unethical and illegal opportunities …show more content…
Lopez was being dissent when he turn down the act of selling the passport that was given to him by his new boss Venezuelan ambassador Jonathan Velasco on his first day, Mr. Lopez stated “he gave me an envelope full of visas and passport” he was also told that he could make one million U.S dollars if he sold the passport to Syrians and terrorist, Lopez thought it was a test and ignored it, but was later told by and interpreter that he made thousands of dollars by selling passports, in this scenario in my opinion Mr. Lopez was being dissent when he told her that the action was wrong and refused to participate in this illegal action, to me he was being an honest and loyal employee to the embassy by looking out for their best interest by stating outright that it was …show more content…
Lopez continue to find out more dishonesty and unlawful conduct within the embassy, in which one employee was fired when it was discovered that she was using the embassy’s official stamp in order to authenticate visas, in firing that employee for being dishonest and unethical I find Mr. Lopez was being very honest and dissent in his job. However during a few months of his job after finding other unethical behavior within the embassy Lopez decided to email the ambassador Velasco about his finding to see what was his thoughts about his finding ,but instead of getting a reply he was ignored at this point he was still being honest and loyal to the embassy because he was letting them know what was going on within the organization by going through the correct channel and the correct authority’s within the embassy instead of going
In the beginning, Rafael Trujillo was a fruitful and beneficial leader to the country of the Dominican Republic. Trujillo reduced foreign debt and made the country more profitable, mainly because he was an excellent business man. However with this new prosperity, came the loss of the citizen's political liberties (1 “Rafael Trujillo”). Rafael Trujillo may have made the country more profitable, but he still was getting away with taking away innocent citizen’s political liberties.

Chavez was greatly supported the idea of equality the he “gained national stature as a labor union spokesman” with all the action he would take not only in his community but others as well.

His actions that he took changed US History by letting the people know what and how the migrant workers are treated.
... Baca wrote a letter sent to the board stating “acknowledged that the hiring standards were violated”. I delegated the authority for making the hiring decisions to his undersheriff at the time, Larry Waldie. My direction was unequivocal that we were to only hire qualified candidates, “according to the LA Times. The department is still assessing the hiring of deputies and is already developing new reforms.
What would it be like to wake up everyday knowing you would get bullied, mistreated, and/or abused just because of where you were born? Discrimination still exists! “Discrimination remains and there is an increase in hate crimes against Hispanics, Latinos and Mexican-Americans, as one of the perceived symbols of that discrimination, the U.S.-Mexico Border Fence, nears completion. Instead of pulling together in these difficult times, we may see a greater polarization of attitudes” (Gibson). But why are hate crimes increasing towards Latin and Hispanic aliens and what types of discrimination are occurring against them? Understanding violence towards the Hispanic and Latin alien is divided into three main classes; the difference between legal and illegal aliens, the attacks and effects, and the point of view of different people towards aliens.
Illegal immigration has been an issue in this country since its founding. However, in recent years, more and more people are deciding that the conditions in their native countries are too dangerous and impossible to overcome, so they decide to take on the journey to try and enter the United States, “the land of opportunity”, without the proper documentation. In the novel Enrique’s Journey, by Sonia Nazario, we see first hand the expedition many of these people take in order to fulfill their dreams of helping the families they leave behind. Many of these people, like Lourdes and Enrique, come thinking that the “American Dream” will be easily obtained through hard work. Unfortunately, times have changed, and this promise of riches is no longer the norm. Those undocumented immigrants that are lucky enough to make it to the United States are faced with a harsh hit of reality when they realize that the perception they had build of America, with an abundance of jobs, is actually flooded by poverty and an unsteady job market.
A topic crucial to the world today is illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is when people live in a country without permission from the government, nor have any legal documentation. As more and more illegal immigrants enter the United States, it either upsets some people, or others feel like they should just grant them ability to pursue life, liberty, and happiness because that is what the Constitution says. Some people feel that illegal immigrants should be protected by the same rights and laws as American citizens. On the other hand, many people believe that this is a horrible mistake. They feel that the rights of citizenship should be earned and not extended to people who haven broken the law just by being in the United States.
Similarly some information are kept from being publicized to the whole world by the government. Wikileaks has done otherwise: material that they disclosed to the world was sensitive material that belonged to the g...
The case of sick leave involved Kelly, who was hired by Soto Board of Education in Japan. Her employment was with The Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET) and Conference of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR) had taken over the contracts for the workers of JET. CLAIR’s role was to be a liaison during recruiting and selection, counseling and participant welfare. Their main function was to promote the exchange at the local level. The paper stated that if there was a problem with the host institution, then it was up to the host to address and solve the issue. If the problem didn’t get resolved then the participant could go to CLAIR with their grievances. It was up to them to step in on JET participants’ behalf to work to solve the issue.
America has had discrimination against minorities for a long time and it will continue to have it until people treat minorities with respect. Discrimination is when people treat minorities bad because of their skin color, ethnicity and the place they were born. For immigrants, the problems they had to arrive in America were not a good experience only by the struggle to gain acceptance among the population. Most immigrants came to the U.S. to have a better life and give education to their children. Almost all immigrants have experienced discrimination at some point in their life and even some are still experiencing it today. Most Latinos don’t have a choice but to deal with it when they get discriminated because they know they are illegal.
According to estimates, more than 700,000 people are trafficked every year for the purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labour. They are transported across borders and sold into modern-day slavery. Over the past decade, trafficking in human beings has reached epidemic proportions. No country is immune. Clawson (2009) discusses how the search for work abroad has been fueled by economic disparity, high unemployment and disruption of traditional livelihoods. It recognizes neither boundaries nor borders. Consequently profits from trafficking feed into the casket of organized crime. Trafficking is fueled by other criminal activities such as document fraud, money laundering and migrant smuggling. Because trafficking cases are expansive in reach, they are among the most important matters. (Clawson 2009)

Edward Snowden. This is a name that will be in the history books for ages. He will be branded a traitor or a whistleblower depending on where you look. Many Americans feel that Edward Snowden is a traitor who sold the United States’ secrets aiming to harm the nation. Others believe that he was simply a citizen of the United States who exercised his right to expose the government for their unconstitutional actions. It is important to not only know the two sides to the argument of friend or foe, but to also know the facts as well. My goal in this paper is to present the facts without bias and to adequately portray the two sides of the argument.
It is reasonable to argue that, governmental institutions or people with authority are subject to withhold a great deal of information from society. Many may argue that secrets are kept to ensure the safety of the nation. Thus, upholding the governmental duty of protecting the nation against possible threats. On the other hand, many believe that secrets may exist which violate our constitutional rights. Over the last year, Edward Snowden, has made headline news for leaking sensitive governmental information to the press. Edward Snowden is a 29-year-old high school drop-out, who was a tech specialist for the National Security Association. Snowden had discovered and later exposed the NSA for monitoring the nations e-mails, phone calls, and internet searches. As the allegations spread like wild fire, Edward Snowden sought asylum in Russia for one year. Snowden had a valid and justifiable reason to expose the NSA to the world because they were in violation of our fourth Amendment rights to unreasonable searches and seizures. The government called him a traitor, while others viewed him as a hero for exposing the government. Edward Snowden is a whistle blower because he felt that it is up to society to decide if governmental practices are just or unjust. Snowden does “express the highest respect for the law”, and he wanted to protect the right of privacy for American citizens.
