Jerry Sandusky was considered an excellent citizen to the community during his tenure as an assistant coach at Penn State. He assisted under head coach Joe Paterno and founded a charitable organization that helped disadvantaged youth; unfortunately, he was a serial child rapist (Crandall, Parnell, & Spillan, 2013). The general public wished someone had known of his actions, when in fact, there were people at the University how did and they performed internal investigations. Reviewing notes and emails of the high ranking officials at Penn State University reveal the actions were discussed with various groups, but not the board of trustees (Crandall, et al, pg. 19, 2013). The lack of recurrence is what led to criticism and the scandal to follow.…

Writers of any story or essay are hypocritical in nature. Despite upholding truth and objectivity as standards, they act in a way which inhibits the authority of either axiom. This is best seen in Janet Malcolm ’s essay “The Journalist and the Murderer”, where Joe McGinniss connives his subject and paints him as a narcissistic psychopath. He disregards truth by manipulating facts to benefit his personal image of his subject.…

I am writing to convey my thoughts and opinions about the article about Mark Duggan. Some of the facts and opinions were controversial because there were many issues which you wrote about in the article which effect his race, for example you have wrote about the way he had a curious hybrid accent and the way you wrote that Duggan was a gangster not Nelson Mandela. This manipulates many readers into making judgments about people by the way they look, without even knowing how the person really is. Firstly, in the headline it states; “Duggan was a gangster not Nelson Mandela.” This comparison is manipulative as you trying to show that he is the opposite of Mandela.…
