I’m writing in response to the article published on the WMCTV website on January 24, regarding the shutdown of the Galilee Memorial Gardens for theft of property and abuse of a corpse. When has such flagrant disregard of the public trust become the norm? When did institutions, who serve the public at our most vulnerable time, come to the realization that monetary gains outweighed personal integrity? Must we the public mistrust all institutions that serve us at our most vulnerable times? Must we ourselves investigate them, must we stop trusting the agencies that are responsible for protecting the public? I for one hope not. Not only has Mr. Lambert abused public trust more than once and finally had his illegal operation shut down, but” he was charged last year with selling burial plots on land that he didn’t own.”(Jacobson, 2014) At that time, he only received a slap on the wrist, and was allowed to continue his shady activities unregulated by government agencies. I am deeply saddened by how the families and their loved ones were treated by Galilee Memorial Gardens Why must government agencies wait until something like this happens, before doing their job of protecting us from unscrupulous institutions? Must we question everything or everyone before giving our trust to just anyone? I’d rather see the glass half full, not half empty.

continues to pose a threat to the freedom of expression. Uniformity, sterility, or formulaic are hardly appropriate characterizations of the contemporary art movement. Yet, art institutions charged with introducing works to the public—whether for-profit private or non-profit public institutions—seek stability in their exhibits, becoming “safe places for safe ideas” rather than “safe places for unsafe ideas” (Gardner 58). While the United States supports freedom of expression with the First Amendment…

experienced life in a household with an alcoholic and sponsored by many different sectors of the Christian church(2). In the tail end of the century, the temperance movement eventually influenced the introduction of formal drug education into the public school system. Although this education was mainly alcohol-focused, they also spoke out against the use of other intoxicants, including tobacco and opium. (3) The temperance movement had their great victory in 1920, when the 18th amendment legitimized…
Overwhelmingly, the recipients of the violence are women and the perpetrators are men. It is clear that women do sometimes abuse men and that violence can occur in lesbian and gay relationships. But the overriding majority of domestic violence incidents consist of men abusing, intimidating and violating women whom they know intimately and often profess to love. Women have been…
arguments can turn out false unless the premises are also true. The importance of having rational premises in doing practical reasoning cannot be overstated. Recall how former CBS journalist Dan Rather and even the esteemed New York Times betrayed the public trust by blindly accepting whatever government officials told them, and how President Bush led us to war in Iraq on unjustified and false premises (see Chapter 13). Whether someone is making a decision that could affect thousands of people—as in the…
