Participation In The Film 'The Distinguish Gentleman'

Participation in Government
Dec 3, 2012
The United States government is filled with corrupted officials. People who come to politics only to gain wealth and power. Examples are shown in the movie “The Distinguish Gentleman”. For example, the movie shows many corrupted congressmen. They bribed, got involved in scandals, ignore the issues of people and lie to media to cover up for their party members. In my opinion, these are not just fictional things that are put in the movie. Things like these really happen in our government system. I will give real life examples in this research.
In the movie, one of the congressman bribes Eddie Murphy to cover up his personal affairs. In August 2009, Congressman William J. Jefferson

    Exchaliaber is a movie about King Arthur and tells the story on how he came to be. Even though they this may or may not be true Arthur was a great king they said. There are different versions of this story. This movie isn't that greatest of all films but it sure got the point quite across. There are many scenes in this movie that show lot of chivalry but what are some great examples? The movie is greatly edited and sometimes a bit confusing and you don't really understand what is going on. The scenes that I think showed a lot of chivalry would have to be the scenes where he tells his wife that he must be king before a husband, second scene where he does not kill his best friend after he's accused of sleeping with his wife, and last one would have to be…

    Governments can be corrupt. Most importantly, they can become corrupt. There usually is not a system that allows the government to be corrupt from the beginning, but history shows that a leader can turn quickly against their citizens. The government has much more power than the people in basically any country and can easily have the power go to their head. The Stanford Prison Experiment has proven this to be true. This experiment was to test if people in positions of power, specifically prison guards, were more likely to humiliate and belittle the prisoners because of predispositions or the situation they were in. It was tested on 24 male…

    It is clear by the manner in which each narrative is shaped that the producers of the films are making a very clear statement on the role of corruption in politics – the political system is almost irreparably damaged and convoluted. Unless the system changes and undergoes major systematic changes, which would be near-impossible given the extensive system of checks and balances in the US government, the corrupt political network will continue to grow and worsen in…

    Political corruption is one of the significant themes in the novel “The House of the Scorpion.” Political corruption is the use of power by government officials for illegitimate private gain. Everyday political figures and governments who we rely on to protect us betray us. Whether it is by bribery,extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, embezzlement, criminal enterprise, drug trafficking, money laundering or human trafficking, political officials or governmental systems we look up to have dabbled in corruption here or there. However, the corrupted governments inside the novel do not differ from our everyday government such as: the American government because both governments inside and outside the novel prevent people from leaving the country, make illegal deals with people and corporations for favours and both have become a country in a state of regression.…

The author goes as far to state that America’s political system is so corrupt, that an entire new political system should be created to avoid tyranny. The fact that modern day politicians are self-serving is tyrannical, and ultimately unconstitutional.…
