The word 'corruption' has a lot of powerful negative connotations, so I think that a lot of people disagree with the methods Asha used to achieve her current status. There are two contradicting attitudes that emerge when confronted with the methods that Asha chose to exploit in order to get to where she is. The first is the idea that the end doesn't justify the means - that despite how rewarding the results of her actions were, she's still in the wrong for using corruption as a stepping stone. The other, is the idea that one can't make an omelet without first breaking a few eggs - that is, sometimes bad things happen inevitably and that's perfectly acceptable. Asha has clearly adopted the second view, as she continues to manipulate and deceive …show more content…
She's perfectly content to create problems herself in order to solve them to get the recognition she thinks she deserves. She's hopelessly selfish and goes out of her way to make certain that she benefits from everything she puts effort into. She's calculating and always thinks ahead to the outcomes of her potential choices and actions. These are the things that make her seem like a cruel person, but they're also the characteristics of a capable leader. Asha has made it clear that she can hold her own. She doesn't let men talk down to her or objectify her, and her quick wit has given her some of the respect she needed to get ahead, which in turn gave her more opportunities to advance. Despite the fact that Asha seems to be emotionally detached and incapable of caring about the well-being of others, she's a very empowering woman. She's broken all of the barriers, defied all of the stereotypes, and abandoned the expected gender roles to make a place for herself in this society. Few women in this society have been able to achieve as much as Asha has, so I'm thoroughly impressed by all that she's accomplished up to this point, and I have profound respect for …show more content…
There's plenty of corruption in the United States, but it's not as overwhelmingly influential in our day-to-day lives like it is for those in Annawadi. Gender inequality, though, is a fairly big issue here as well - not necessarily to the same extent by any means (women do get a say in a lot of things and their opinions are respected a lot of the time), but there are still injustices. Women are outnumbered in STEM careers, and the gender wage gap is still a prominent issue - especially in male-dominated fields like engineering, etc. Politics are left to men to deal with, because women aren't expected to be able to cope with the stress that a position of power and influence has, thus why most CEO positions are also given to men. Emotions are considered to be a weakness, so naturally women are scorned for expressing their emotions. This is a double standard though, because when they don't express their emotions like they're expected to, then they are cruel. Although, I personally think that it can be extremely beneficial to be in touch with your emotions, it makes communication easier and more efficient a vast majority of the time. I am a very analytical person, so I tend to struggle to connect with other people, whereas some of my friends that are very in tune with their emotions can connect to pretty much everyone on a deeper level. That just seems to make it
Asha Waghekar is one of the most influential character in this book that uses corruption in order to get her and her family into living a better life. The is the mother of Manju and Rahul, while married to an alcoholic drunk named Mahadeo. Asha started to do corruption because she sees an opportunity and would be a waste if not used. She aimed to be one of the slumlord of the Shiv Sena, as it is rare for a women to become a slumlord. Asha corruption is by using the government anti poverty act by this she lie about money that should be used for funding like schools for Annawadians. Instead she made a fake class whenever the government wanted to come and see to advertise their campaign is working, while in truth it’s all a cover up.
The news came out not long ago that Joy-Anna Duggar is courting. This 19-year-old is someone that the family always says is a joy to be around and that her name fits her perfect. Radar Online was able to find out how much her new boyfriend Austin Forsyth knows about the Duggar's past scandal with her brother Josh. Austin has been friends with Joy-Anna for fifteen years so you would think his entire family would know a lot, but it turns out that is not the case at all.
Someone who is abusing the power that is given to him or her defines corruption, however, the word in its self is more than a simple idea; it is an intricate network. Since people’s views about ethical and moral behavior affect the way corruption is examined, the word has a slightly different meaning to each person. Additionally, misconduct across various societies is viewed differently due to social and cultural borders. The criminal justice system has had many instances where corruption had affected the outcome of a case and has inserted itself into the legal process.
looked down on by people for displaying personal emotions because they believe it is only to
A patriarchal society dominated the early years in Afghanistan. This society is not also apparent in modern America. Women may not be treated as badly, but are still not treated equally. For example, women do not necessarily get paid the same as men even when they do the same job. In fact, America has never even had a woman president.
Morality is like ice, and corruption turns that ice into muddy water. One of the greatest juxtapositions in the novel by Katherine Boo, Behind The Beautiful Forevers is between the characters of Abdul and Asha. Abdul struggles to remain morally unshakable like ice, questioning if people can stay good when surrounded by corruption. Asha, on the other hand, scams her neighbors and sleeps with authority figures for power- muddy decisions at best. Asha even goes so far as to cover her responsibility by asking, “how is it my wrong if the big people say it is right?" The answer to these questions lies in both the novel and in science.
People typically have all sorts of emotions depending on the situation. A time when someone's emotion rubbed off me was when I went to take my Comptia A+ certification test. This test was supposed to be a stepping stone towards my degree but when I got to the testing facility, all the confidence that I had seem to have evaporated into thin air the second I saw a couple of people walking out expressing how tough it was. The tears in their eyes, their shaky voice, and the people who they're with telling them that there's always next time. After seeing and hearing all of that, even I couldn't help but be emotional on how I was going to do. The good was is that the second the test started, my confidence came back as I remembered all those long
Women have been treated very different from the beginning of time. Life before women's rights movements and activists was terrible. Women were discriminated against and looked down on in a very hurtful way. They could not even do the simple like vote or get a quality education because men believed that the only purpose women serve is to be a home body. It is hard for American women in today's society even believe what went on, better yet think that the ways of life back then are still present in some cultures. Slowly things have started to change and women have gotten more rights and overall life has changed drastically in some spots. In America things have changed for the better, however in the more poorer cultures they are at a standstill.
The women in India I think were treated with less respect and were not able to do anything
Corruption is dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power such as kings, presidents, school faculty members, parents, anyone in charge. For example, a government that says they are for the people and the people's protection but they only do things that will make them more powerful and look better, whether it is safe or not, is corruption. Ultimate power, over time, will corrupt everyone who has
Have you read the book Hamlet? This book is about Hamlet's uncle killing his uncle and then marrying his wife. In this play that Shakespeare thought of, well he really didn't . Shakespeare had stolen the same idea of another play. So the talented Shakspeare wrote the play in his own words.
I also believe you have to become aware of other people's feelings and emotions to be able to communicate empathy, as well as other emotions. Many people don’t try to relate to others because they feel they should put their focus on doing their job. You have to be able to show people that you understand what they are going through. We have to learn how to put away our thoughts and feelings and pay more attention to the feelings of others. The company will not be able to function properly as a team if they do not have an understanding of how to relate to the emotions of others.
One citizen in particular that thrives due to the corrupt system is Asha Waghekar. Asha comes from a childhood of rural poverty, and when she sees the opportunity to become part of the middle class, she takes it. However, this route is not the most noble of routes. She turns to political corruption in order to come out on top, and hopefully someday become Slumlord. Asha starts down her path of corruption, when she decides to start helping her neighbors solve their problems. She believes that “when she ha[s] real control over the slum, she could create problems in order to fix them … she’d learned [this] by studying the Corporator” (20). Asha’s way of thinking allows her to not only overcome the corruption in Annawadi, but become entrenched in it. She sees the good in this, because it allows her to skip all of the usual steps to make money. She is also able to reason it to herself, she states “[h]ow can anyone say I am doing wrong when the big people did all the papers—when the big people say that it’s right?” (228). Some people are able to reason corruption, in order to allow them to feel okay with it and Asha is one of those people. Fortunately for Asha, she is able to become one of the most powerful people in Annawadi. Therefore, Asha is able to use corruption to allow her to get ahead and take advantage of powerless individuals. Corruption is able to improve the lives of the
This experiment used an instruction sheet which indicated the relevant instructions for each condition. (This is included in Appendix 1). The experiment also used an identical clock for all the conditions with roman numerals depicting the numbers, where four was shown as IIII. (This is included in Appendix 2). The rest of the apparatus included paper, pens and a stop watch.
Studies from Perez and Moore (2012) indicates that “The police were considered to be governmental agents who regularly abused their power, who often operated against the very principle of justice for they ostensibly stood, and who were not intelligent enough to grasp these realities” (p. 3). Police ethics is an important aspect of today’s professional police force. In the early days of policing in the United States, the phrase police ethics were indistinct and to countless Americans it was rather a joke. Police officers had a long history of being unintelligent, uneducated and incompetent.
