Ethics Research

After reading the document that referred to Holocaust victims as "merchandise" and other terms to cover up the truth, we had to find our own example of an ethical lapse where language such as this was used. We found documents from a prostitution ring about Eliot Spitzer, the former Governor of New York. They referred to him as "Client 9" and there were other cases of language being used to cover up an ethical lapse. The website is currently down so I cannot write in detail about it, but I am interested to look more into these documents for more examples of this type of language.
