Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics. As it happens, Feldman’s accidental study provides a window on

to a form of cheating that has long stymied academics: white-collar crime. (Yes, shorting the bagel man is white-collar crime, writ however small.) It might seem ludicrous to address as large and intractable a problem as white-collar crime through the life of a bagel man. But often a small and simple question can help chisel away at the biggest problems. Despite all the attention paid to rogue companies like Enron, academics know very little about the practicalities of white-collar crime. The reason? There are no good data. A key fact of white-collar crime is that we hear about only the very slim fraction of people who are caught cheating. Most embezzlers lead quiet and theoretically happy lives; employees who steal company property are rarely detected. What purpose does the “bagel man” serve in this argument? to shift the focus toward a specific man to entertain the reader with a funny story to show the seriousness of cheating to shed light on white-collar crime

99 PT English 2 Help FLVS: Julius Caesar Help:
krek1111 [17]
<span> I feel that the Antony speech maybe would've been more moving.  <span>First off, the murder of Caesar was a traumatizing one (they stabbed him like twenty seven times or somthing). I would've been on the conspirators sides if they haven't done it so brutally. IT seemed as if though they did it out of their own pleasure. Who stabs someone <em>twenty seven </em>times? </span> Brutus's speech discusses how he loved Caesar (even though he stabbed him, again, twenty seven times) and how he did it for the good of Rome. With an ambitious ruler like Caesar, Rome would've become slaves to him. However, Antony's speech says how he loved Caesar like all of Rome and how he had helped all of them and how Brutus was a "honorable man" (sarcasm ). I wouldn't have been moved by Brutus's speech because i had KNOWN what had happened during the murder. I witnessed it. And how different it was from out of love for Rome. It seemed more like out of hatred for Caesar.  </span>
