Register to read the introduction… More specifically there are no limits when it come to training new prospects form the company. One of Olivia’s gladiators, Huck, is an ex assassin of B613. In an episode of scandal Huck explains and gives us an in depth concept of exactly what it is you go through in B613. He starts to explain that being in B613 is not something you sign up for or join because you simple want to serve your country. Mr. Pope scopes you out and decides his self that you are going to play your role with no objections. He does not only train you on defense but also makes sure you are exceptional in offence. Failure is not an option in Mr. Popes eyes. If you disobey an order, mess up on a mission, or let your target go, you will be beat and throw in the hole. You will stay in the whole until Mr. Pope wants to let you out, or is ready to kill you. One episode reveled just how powerful Mr. pope is. With a life of running B613 having a wife is not really a wise idea, yet Mr. Pope not only has a wife but also a daughter. The president was in the navy at the time and was ordered to shoot down the plane hat Mrs. Pope was on. There is no limit to his reign or power. Huck describes Mr. Pope as a heartless man who destroyed his life and for that B613 is an example of tyranny. Elitism is symbolized in various ways on the show scandal. One strong example comes from Olivia and her staff. They call themselves gladiators. “Olivia's accomplished staff, who would follow her anywhere and do whatever it takes to save someone's reputation, include Harrison Wright, a slick litigator; Huck, hacker extraordinaire; investigator Abby Whelan, don’t let that smile and red hair fool you, she’s as sharp as they come; and Quinn Perkins, the new young woman in the office who is in awe of Olivia, but is initiated in a trial by fire on her very first day on the job (abc)”. The main objective of there job is to help clear their clients name. In able to do this, the gladiators must first research the client and gain back ground information to help build there case. Once the gladiators have a case Olivia begins to start the pursuit to clear the clients name. Not once has Olivia Pope lost a case. How ever Olivia’s staff, the gladiators, are not the example of elitism in the show. It is her clients. Olivia’s clientele is made up of mostly men and women of an authority. The clients can range from Mayors, a company C.E.O, and even the president of the united states. The people who higher Olivia come to her because they are in a high place to were any little discretion can ruin there title. Most come to her with the attitude being as if they are so important to were every day people mistakes can and will ruin there life style and or job. Many times the clients come to Olivia with having commented a crime but yet, they feel with either there high position at there job or by the people they know they should not be subjected normal punishment by the law. It is with this attitude that Olivia Pope and her team of gladiators clients represent Elitism. One of the sub characters sally who plays the vice president is big on morals. Utilitarianism is, “the belief that a morally good action is one that helps the greatest number …show more content…
The main character Olivia has her hands full on the show trying to maintain her personal life and her job. Figuring out her dad is the leader of the society B613 is hard also being in love with a married man but on top of it all, the married man she is in love with is the president of the united states. The political drama scandal has plenty of representations of different forms of government and political terms. The balance between drama and government in the show is two to one. Tyranny, Utilitarianism, Elitism, and capitalism are settle in the show, however they are still present and can be interpreted with a deep canalization of the show.

The approach in which we utilize the theory to make decisions is different from each other.…

    In the show Scandal, there are many occasions in where there is evidence of Interpersonal Conflict. I have watched a lot of episodes of Scandal and in the episode that I chose to watch for this, “Gladiators Don’t Run” in Season 4 it touched on a few conflicts that were very easy to catch after reading the material. In Chapter 8, we read about extending social support to another and how that can backfire and make things worse if the person in need does not view it as being helpful or sees it as a form of over support (Bevan, Sole, 2014). There are two cases in particular that I would like to discuss in this essay. Many conflicts arise during each episode between multiple individuals.…
