Madoff Madness: A Textual Analysis of the SEC's response to the Madoff Ponzi SchemeMcDaniel, Caitlin Christine 10 May 2019 (has links)
On December 11, 2008, the financial world was in a panic as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the arrest of Bernard L. Madoff of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC, for orchestrating a $65 billion Ponzi scheme. An investigation took place into Madoff's practices, and as a result, it was revealed the SEC failed to catch Madoff years earlier as a result of its business practices. After this became known, the SEC faced reputational harm. This qualitative analysis seeks to discover through identification and analysis of themes and sub-themes of response strategies, the extent to which the SEC applied Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) in its crisis response, in order to examine SCCT's merit as a theory in government crisis communication research. This study also offers additional response strategies imposed by the SEC to suggest further expansion of SCCT in a government context. / Master of Arts / On December 11, 2008, Bernard L. Madoff, of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC, was charged by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for his role in a $65 billion fraudulent scheme. During an investigation into Madoff’s business practices, it was revealed that the SEC overlooked many red flags that could have caught Madoff years earlier. As a result, the SEC faced reputational harm. This study examined the SEC’s crisis response to the public following the news of Madoff’s arrest by applying a crisis communication theory to discover “best practices” for government agencies when dealing with a preventable crisis. This study also offers suggestions to further expand crisis communication research and crisis response strategies in a government communication setting.

George Bernard Shaw's "Big Three" : an althusserian reading of Man and Superman, John Bull's Other Island, and Major BarbaraKramer, Johanna I. 11 June 1998 (has links)
Traditional readings of George Bernard Shaw's texts suggest that he is not a pure
Marxist socialist because of the spiritual and nationalist aspects of his vision. This thesis
attempts to confront Shaw's politics in order to demonstrate that he indeed offers a viable
socialist program. Overlaying his socialism with Louis Althusser's concepts of
"overdetermination," "structural causality," and "ideology" reveals that Shaw uses
relatively autonomous instances of the superstructure toward socialist ends. This
reevaluation of Shaw is best achieved through a combined reading of three of his major
plays -- John Bull's Other Island, Man and Superman, and Major Barbara. In John Bull,
Shaw incorporates the controversy of nationalism into his socialist vision by explaining it
as an inevitable step in the development of an oppressed nation toward socialism. Man and
Superman discusses the need for spirituality in the form of Shaw's concepts of Creative
Evolution and the Life Force, which drive toward the development of a consciousness that
recognizes socialism as the only sustainable internationalist program. Major Barbara
combines Shaw's socialist and spiritual views by showing that both stand in reciprocal
relation to each other; they are equally necessary to the Shavian world, one providing the
ideal social system, the other the most enlightened human sensibility. This project
demonstrates that Shaw's integration of these elements usually considered contradictory to
Marxism becomes a way to understand him as practicing the Althusserian idea that any
displacements of the infrastructure are economic in the last instance. / Graduation date: 1999

The Treatment of the American Dream in Three Novels by Bernard MalamudMcAndrew, Sara 12 1900 (has links)
The American Dream is an established theme in much American literature from the beginning to the present. In dealing with this major theme, three critics, Leo Marx, Henry Nash Smith, and R. W, B. Lewis have evolved a cohesive definition of this complex and ambiguous vision. Three major components define the Dream: a pastoral dream of a new, fertile Eden, a success dream of financial prosperity, and a dream of world brotherhood to be realized in the new continent. These three components are examined individually in three novels by Bernard Malamud, A New Life, The Natural, and The Assistant. In these novels, Malamud asserts the failure of the American Dream, but envisions the rise of a new humanity and morality that could lead to the salvation of the American people and to a time where dreams could be reborn.

A comparative study of the social philosophies of John Dewey and Bernard BosanquetFeinberg, Walter January 1965 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / PLEASE NOTE: Boston University Libraries did not receive an Authorization To Manage form for this thesis or dissertation. It is therefore not openly accessible, though it may be available by request. If you are the author or principal advisor of this work and would like to request open access for it, please contact us at open-help@bu.edu. Thank you. / The problem of this dissertation is first to examine the form and the rationale for pluralism in the social philosophy of John Dewey; second, to inspect the adequacy of this rationale; and third, to see whether the social philosophy of Bernard Bosanquet provides a supplementation of Dewey's view.
In this examination, pluralism is seen as that form of society in which differences are both maintained and unified. Thus pluralism is found as a mean existing somewhere between individualism which is the assertion of differences and absolutism which, as Dewey sees it, is the assertion of the unity. The examination of ground and difference is concerned with that in virtue of which differences may be said to constitute a society.
Because pluralism is an attempt to maintain a balance between individualism and absolutism, the dissertation undertakes an examination of Dewey's criticism of both these extremes. It sees in this critique a rejection of social theories which attempt to restrict differences by pre-determining for a person both his nature and his social role. The critique applies especially well to absolutism with its limited categories. Individualism arises as a reaction to absolutism and to the failure of absolutism in social theory to accommodate various social and environmental changes. Yet, for Dewey, individualism is an overreaction. It abstracts a person from the specific social situations in which he is found and thus attempts to state the nature of individuals as such prior to examining the nature of specific individuals in specific situations.
After examining Dewey's critique of absolutism and individualism, the dissertation considers Dewey's own social theory. Here it analyzes the social nature of the whole-part relationship as Dewey sees it, and describes the way in which a person is determined by his group memberships as well as the way in which individual differences may be supported or retarded by these memberships. Included in this treatment is an examination of the role of the state as it arises to control the indirect consequences of acts, i.e. to protect the interest of those who, while not the agents of an act, do suffer some of its consequences. The dissertation points out that the state, as such, has, for Dewey, no normative connotation. It becomes a good state when those affected in this way i.e. the public are organized and thus are able to participate in controlling these consequences. / 2031-01-01
