A person who gives a public official money or property of any value in exchange for an agreement by the public official to do or refrain from doing something that is against or in contradiction to an official duty, is guilty of Bribery.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

People often tend to opt for an easy route to achieve or get what they want and doing so they indulge in illegal practises like bribery. When a person gives money or any sort of property to any government official to do or abstain from doing certain act which goes against his duties is called bribery.

A perfect example would be a builder gives money to a government official for passing his tender and giving him the government contract for construction of a building for the government. Bribery is an offence under the General Federal Bribery Statute.

inna [77]

Answer:

China is a multi-ethnic group country with a vast territory. You may even find specific differences between a Beijinger and a Shanghaier.(In general, the former is more forthright and the latter is more gentle) The discrepancy of climatic and geographical environment caused the difference of culture and living habits. The economic and political imbalances bring about the the character difference of local residents. Therefore, it is difficult to find a general feature of Chinese. Japan, on the contrary, is relatively small. When you watch the weather forcast, you will find that there is little difference from Tokyo to Kyoto. To be honest, I have never went to Japan, so I only get the picture of Japanese from books and mangas. In my onion, most Japanese are strict and elegant. They make brilliant mangas and games! I am willing to make friends with them.

Moreover, for historical reasons, China has complex and chaotic ideology. On the surface, China is a socialist country. Nevertheless, most people in this nation do not believe in socialism at all----instead, they believe in themselves, their families and their friends. People fear the great power of the government. However, the government is not that bad. I want to call it the combination of state monopoly capitalism and feudal aristocracy. There are authentic free markets in China. One can find good opportunities and make a living if he or she obeys the rules.

Since ordinary people like me are unable to go into politics, we can just focus on our own lives. We desire tremendous money, big houses, beautiful cars and so on. Yes, it is money worship or power worship (money can make power, and power can make money). People with money and power have great priviledges. The priviledge is magic! You can get anything you want more quickly with this magic. I am an ordinary student with an ordinary background, nut I know that if your father is a government officer or rich merchant, you will definitely have a bright future unless you deliberately ruin yourself (I feel strange! The rich second generation always do so! ) Justice and equity never exist in China. In other words, justice and equity only belong to a few of people. We have to try hard to avoid being losers. It is pathetic to be a loser---girls are unwilling to hang out with a loser!

Lets discuss more deeply. China once had splendid culture, especially when it was going through Tang Dynasty. In that time, Chang'an is the most prosperous city. Japan had sent many students to Tang Empire to study Chinese politics and culture. Japannese not only learn the ancient culture, but also preserve them on the base of improvement. Thanks Japan! We can now appreciate the beauty of Chang'an in Kyoto. However, you know, Chinese people desire power and money. They always fight with each other for power(not for glory) throughout the whole history. I really feel shamed. Chinese almost never work as a unity. I hope we can chage from this generation. We will never fight for our own, but embrace the whole world. We are family, we are one.

What is the difference between slavery and indentured servitude? Why did slavery replace indentured servitude in the colonies?
RoseWind [281]
Indentured servants were people residing in the colonies who would sign a work contract, usually for 6 or so years, in exchange for land or even getting their crimes pardoned. Indentured servants were NOT considered to be property of the contract holder and upon their contract being up, they were able to be an equal part of the community (able to own property and vote). A slave was brought over from Africa (mainly) against their will and had no definite contract. Sometimes slave holders would let the slave buy their way to freedom, but most were slaves for life. If they could "buy" their way out, they received nothing in return for their laboring years and could not own property or vote. 
Slavery became the most popular form of labor in the colonies because the slave owners did not have to give the slaves anything in return, could have them indefinitely, and in all honesty just didn't view them as people. It was both a moral issue as well as the fact that the slave owners could just save more money in the end.
