Entry3_Nguyen Thi Nguyet

Item1:

Doanh nghiệp nước nào “thích” đưa hối lộ nhất?
Các công ty Nga và Trung Quốc có mức độ sẵn sàng cao nhất cho việc chi tiền hối lộ trong quá trình kinh doanh ở nước ngoài, hãng tin BBC dẫn báo cáo của Tổ chức Minh bạch Quốc tế (TI) cho biết.
Tổ chức này đã thực hiện một cuộc thăm dò ý kiến của 3.000 lãnh đạo doanh nghiệp tại 28 quốc gia và vùng lãnh thổ trên thế giới về việc đưa hối lộ.

Kết quả, Nga và Trung Quốc là hai nước có điểm số tệ nhất, trong khi Hà Lan và Thụy Điển là hai quốc gia đi đầu.
Type: Assumption
Analysis: 
The result of the research is not persuasive because In the survey. It uses a small number of people and applies the results to a large number people. For an example. The China's population is one billions ,while the rate of corruption is 10 %.It is less than Vietnam's .A country has 8 millions population with the rate of corruption 7%.
Item2:
Type: scapegoating
Analysis: it is claim unfairly that money is the root of all evils. Because everything has both positive sides and negative sides, and neither is money .it is a great invention of human being such as improving living conditions, motivating people work harder ect , Besides, we can accuse money for our evils to critic fiercely money.It is all up to how we use it.
Item 3:

                          Are Cain allegations ugly politics?
At the National Press Club this week, Herman Cain called the sexual harrassment allegations made against him a "witch hunt."

By Ruben Navarrette, CNN Contributor
November 2, 2011 -- Updated 1337 GMT (2137 HKT)
San Diego, California (CNN) -- A black Republican who has rankled liberals and suddenly risen in prominence is torpedoed with old allegations of sexual harassment as he challenges the conventional wisdom about how African-Americans think and pursues an important position atop the federal government.
Haven't we seen this movie? Get ready for the sequel.
Politico reported recently that two women -- whose names are being withheld by the website -- accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment in the 1990s while the businessman led the National Restaurant Association, and that a financial settlement "in the five-figure range" was reached to keep the story quiet.
When confronted with the allegation, the GOP front-runner showed that he is new to politics by mangling his responses in one media interview after another.
At first, Cain went with the tried and tested approach: "No comment." Then he claimed to know nothing about the case. Then he claimed that he did know a little about the case, but that he didn't know there had been a settlement. Then he tried to tell us that there was a difference between a "settlement" and an "agreement." And, by the end of the day, he was admitting that there had been a settlement and that, in the case of one woman, it had amounted to about three months salary.
It was both amusing and painful to watch. I'm not sure whether to applaud Cain for not knowing how to lie with the panache of other Republican presidential hopefuls, or tell him to run for the exit. I hope he doesn't quit the race, as some Beltway commentators are suggesting he should do -- not because this scandal is so bad that he can't recover, but because the elite media can't wait to clear the field and get to what they think will be the main event: Mitt Romney versus Barack Obama.
I don't know about you, but I'm getting awfully tired of sexual harassment being the preferred line of attack against black conservatives. This isn't to say that sexual harassment is acceptable -- whether it's a proposition or the creation of a hostile work environment.
But the whole thing makes me queasy in light of the ugly history in this country of black men being described in sexually charged terms. I don't care who the attack is leveled against; anyone who plays with the idea of a black man acting inappropriately toward women is playing with dynamite. Liberals who rejoice in the Cain story should remember that.
Herman Cain and the decline of black conservatism
  • Type: Discrimination
  • Analysis:
Ruben Navarrette: It is obvious. The article is discriminative because he says conservative black politicians are subject to stereotypes .Furthermore, he compares Cain sex harassment charges a political attack as with Clarence Thomas. While Thomas was accused 20 years ago, and now Cain is accused, and the author is tired of black politicians being accused of sexual harassment? That's simply two black politicians. And, they both seem to have been guilty as accused. This has nothing to do with race. He says Cain fumbled situation, but story is really about media, others pushing him from the race;. I also think that Ruben hasn't seen the news that Cain insists Perry's camp is to blame for this - NOT the liberal media that Ruben purports. I'm so incredibly tired of Ruben's illegal immigration opinion posts...and when he FINALLY writes about something else he gets his facts all screwed up. Moreover he uses prejudiced languages, repeats “black” again and again.

    1. Personally, I think that your analysis in the first item is not comprehensive because there is not necessary to make comparison between China’s population, corruption rate and that of Vietnam.
      Regarding item 2, I do not agree that it is scapegoating; instead, I think it is prejudice (because it is a negative judgment; and there is no knowledge of the facts)
      One more thing, you had better pay more careful attention to your expression

    2. Thanks your comment. However,i don't think so your idea in my item 2 because i think you can see when we make any evil we blame for money, so my point of view i think it is scapegoating

      Trả lờiXóa
    3. Dear Nguyet,I find your entry interesting. However, I have some comments
      +, Item 1: It is assumption because they did the research on 28 nations while there are more than 200 nations in the world.In addition, I agree with Tuyen that you shouldn't make comparison between China’s population, corruption rate and that of Vietnam.
      +, Item 2: I think it is prejudice
      +, Item 3: It is Ok

    4. I think there are several problems with your entry.
      First of all, I think that you should pay more attention to your expression and punctuation.
      Secondly, about the analyses of your items:
      Item1: I agree with Tuyen that there is no need to quote statistics about corruption rates in China and Vietnam. By the way, you state that China's rate of corruption (10 %) is less than Vietnam's (7%), but actually, I think your comparison is quite nonsense. Can you see that 10% of 1.6 billion (China population) is greatly bigger than 7% of 88 million (Vietnam population).
      Item 2: I think it is just prejudice ^^. People have a negative judgment on money (consider it as evil)
      Item 3: I have no comment

      Trả lờiXóa
    5. dear Nguyet. i have some comments about your entry.
      item 1: you said that the result of the survey was not persuasive because the number of 28 countries and 3000 business is small . i don't think so. i think it is a large-scale survey and its result is reliable especially it includes the large countries such as Russia and China... Moreover, survey say that the Russian and Chinese have the highest rate of corruption in 28 countries not in over the world.
