Monica gave Rachel a fraudulent explanation about where she was last night. The testimony revealed the flagrant events that happened at Nicole’s home. Rachel’s uneasy tone was the harbinger of the end of her and Ross’s relationship. Tom is a hedonist who likes to spend all of his money on luxurious clothing and goods. Chandler uses hyperboles because he likes to exaggerate stories. Dwight was impregnable to a break in because he lives in the middle of nowhere. Dwight always tries to ingratiate himself to his boss, Michael, so maybe one day he’ll be regional manager. During the trial, Robert and his colleagues used legal jargon.

California was heard by the Supreme Court, Riley stated that a smartphone and whatever it may contain does not provide a threat to police officers, therefore People v. Diaz does not apply. Jeffrey L. Fisher, a Stanford University law professor, served as Riley’s representation (Riley v. California, n.d.). He boiled his argument down to the searching of a cell phone is nothing more than an invasion of privacy, as most people now have their entire life on their personal devices (Liptak, 2014).
In order to commit the crime of simple battery in the state of Georgia, the following elements must be present at the time the crime is being committed: “(1) Intentionally makes physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature with the person of another; or (2) Intentionally causes physical harm to another.”
Material greed is a critical trait present in both Gatsby’s and Schindler’s tales, as it influences their behaviour throughout their ordeals. Gatsby acquired his fortune through illegal means in order to purchase his mansion, fund his parties and attain expensive clothing (English shirts), all in hopes of garnering Daisy’s affection. For example, He invited Daisy to his house from Nick’s initial Tea party; he shows her his house and shirts to demonstrate his materialistic gains. She is truly impressed at the sight of his high end English shirts, she begins to cry and says that she never seen shirts as such. Later, she spends the night at his house. [citation] .Moreover, Gatsby is convinced that the greater his wealth becomes, the more opportunities
interact on a daily basis. This interaction creates an energy that circulates throughout the different departments and formulates a tone. Of all the departments that co-exist in a workplace environment, the human resource department has the most important job of overseeing administrative tasks and benefits as well as employee relations such as enforcing the rules that make up the inner workings of the employment structure. When this structure is corrupt or controlled by members ruled by bias, power and convenience, many problems can arise. The Supreme Court case Crawford v. Metropolitan Government of Nashville serves as a learning tool on what concepts are acceptable and correct under the law when conducting workplace investigations revolving around discrimination and harassment. Although cooperation in workplace investigations is encouraged, fear of retaliation in the form of termination stops employees from being vocal about discrimination and harassment due to corrupt management and human resource practices,
He thinks money can buy everything in the world, and that does not happen to be the case. He shows the hate he has towards Gatsby and calls him a nobody because he has “fake” wealth, "Self-control!" Repeated Tom incredulously. "I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that 's the idea you can count me out […] Nowadays people begin by sneering at family life and family institutions, and next they 'll throw everything overboard and have intermarriage between black and white”(Fitzgerald 130). Tom basically says Gatsby is a no one and has not done anything to get his money. He also says Gatsby does not have enough money to “buy” off Daisy and shows an example of money buying happiness. Tom also uses his money to make him happy rather than Daisy, with Myrtle but Wilson, also there and Tom hates poor people like Wilson. He makes Tom mad which does not equate to happiness of Tom and therefore coming to the conclusion of money cannot indeed buy

The people that Nick has been surrounding himself love nothing more than talking about themselves, and their money, predominantly Tom. For example, the day of the luncheon Tom tried to impress everyone with the materialistic things he has. Tom mentions, “‘I’ve heard of making a garage out of a stable,’ Tom was saying to Gatsby, ‘but I’m the first man who ever made a stable out of a garage’”(119). His aim was to impress, but it ended up just being a loud cry for attention. Although, it was not only Tom that loves talking about his money. Gatsby, who Nick constantly gives the benefit of the doubt, talks about his money in hopes of impressing Daisy, the love of his life. Gatsby shows the house to Daisy and Nick, and when they got to his closet he was proud to present everything he had to Daisy, trying to prove to her that he was good enough for her. Gatsby goes on to talk about the clothes he has, saying “‘I’ve got a man in England who buys me clothes. He sends over a selection of things at the beginning of every season, spring and fall.’ He took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them, one by one, before us… While we admired he brought more and the soft rich heap mounted higher”(92). Everyone that Nick surrounds himself with were dedicated to prove something to each other, constantly trying to impress. Nick begins to take notice of this, their true colors really beginning
In the novel, The Great Gatsby, a major idea of the first quieter of the book is arrogance. Arrogance can be seen by many different character flaunting how much money they have or how “great” their life is. This can be seen in chapter two when Myrtle is listing all the things she must buy in the day to follow saying, “ I got to write down a list so I wont forget all the things I got to do.” Myrtle doesn't personally come from new or old money, but since she is having an affair with Tom she has no problem flaunting his instead. Another way people enjoy arrogantly flouting their money is by the vacations the like to take. At Toms party while Nick is talking to Catherine she explains the trip to Europe she took stating, “We had over twelve

Also, providing more than enough information proving that Tom is a white supremacist, he presumes himself higher than everyone because he has white privilege, coming from playing college football and being born with a silver spoon made him more spoiled and privileged than the normal person. Examples of this include, on page 11, “Now, don’t think my opinion on these matters is final.” Tom said, “Just because I’m more of a man than you are.” This proves that Tom believes himself higher than the people around him because of his physical appearance, which could lead back to him growing up with

...rom the elite rich, who possess old money. Tom also claims that Gatsby “threw dust into your eyes just like he did in Daisy’s”, (142) and can be said to be using his false wealth to mislead and confuse Daisy and Nick into thinking he is someone of their standards, which shows that Gatsby is not recognised as one of their class. This undercuts the glamorous wealth associated with Gatsby, and the ideal of equality in the American Dream.
Throughout The Great Gatsby, Gatsby's lack of taste is evident, which leads to the upper class's rejection of him. Gatsby repeatedly displays his wealth in excessive ways. Gatsby throws extravagant parties, buys flamboyant clothes, and purchases an opulent car and mansion. Throughout the novel, these displays of wealth are met by criticism from those that Gatsby is trying to impress. Tom Buchanan, Daisy's husband, and a man of inherited wealth, detests Gatsby.
Even the richest man in the world cant have everything. Material wealth could provide many things for Jay Gatsby but not the thing he most desired. Although his wealth drew Daisy closer to him, he never truly could have possessed her heart. He demanded Daisy to state that she had never loved Tom Buchanan. Oh, you want too much! she cried to Gatsby, I love you now--isnt that enough? I cant help whats past. I did love him once--but I loved you too. (139-140). Jays true love still remained with her uncaring husband, Tom. Jay Gatsbys dream was smashed when he found out that even all of his assets werent enough to woo Daisy to him.
