However, certain issues have raised concerns about whether politicians are truly acting in the public's best interest. This volume considers a number of ethical questions in the political sphere, including whether it is ethical for politicians to be influenced by corporations and organizations through lobbying and political donations, whether politicians should be able to financially benefit from their position, and the extent to which dishonesty has or has not become a significant issue in politics." -- $c Publisher description. 521 0 $a Grades 10-12+ $b Publisher. 521 2 $a Grades 9-12+ $b Publisher. 700 1 $a Wiener, Gary, $e editor. 830 0 $a Opposing viewpoints series (Unnumbered) 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024636.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240202011637.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C4F2E626C19811EE857C5B5120ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
