Week 8 Blog Prompt

"Sex, Lies, Arrogance: What Makes Powerful Men Behave So Badly?"

This is the Dominique Strauss-Kahn case. I feel that this case has indeed shown how men in power are able to manipulate the law. It was obvious that he was under the protection of top lawyers as he was a man in power, able to hire anyone to protect him. However, it is rather sad to hear of such cases where victims are actually becoming accused, where they face oppositions who are of top positions and high power. Although Dominique Strauss-Kahn may be walking about freely now, I believe that there would be justice, where justice is to get what you rightfully deserve in terms of the law. Currently, true justice have not been met out from the fact that the accused is being bailed out and free to walk wherever he wants, whereas the victim is trapped in the station being investigated. I would like to restate the point that people in power are indeed able to manipulate the law, but I feel that true justice exist, but only a matter of time of when it will be met out.
