The article discusses presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's distaste for Frito Lay's partnership with the It Gets Better Project which is aimed at fighting anti-LGBT bullying and giving hope to those who are being harassed.

    Outside the company, William Aramony’s use of donated funds betrayed the trust of many contributors, who would inevitably withhold further funding. This withholding of funds in turn effected the local charities and relief efforts that would have benefited from the suspended donations. Unfortunately, local charities were doubly effected since they also failed to receive potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars that were instead redirected to Aramony’s salary and personal activities. From an external point of view, Aramony accrued much trust and admiration by shaping United Way into one of the foremost charity organizations of all time. As a result, the investigation that revealed Aramony’s lifestyle only amplified the distrust of those who so highly regarded him.…

    The scenario is about requesting Roger M. Agro, the manager of Countryfield Fair, to allocate time for interview to collect information about the 150th annual Countryfield Fair. College for America (2016) states that “fair is a popular local tradition” which can be reported and run in the Local Interest Section. The ethical issue is that the manager’s reply to the email seems to show a very high tenderness upon the request. In fact, he suggests to offer free tickets to whoever I show up with in the fair which seems to be a payment for a journalist to feature the tradition. This might provoke “agenda setting” issue since if I accept this offer, I will also be forced to write unreal things.…
