Hi Everyone,
What has happened in our world today? Some of us think that we can get away with something that we have done but later it is found out. This happened especially with celebrities. Do celebrities really thought that they can do anything that they want and they can escape with it? Offenders include commoners, politicians and celebrities.
Celebrities

Moral Values
Are we losing our values? From sex scandals to corruption,murder, drugs trafficking and human trafficking what has happened in the world? There is so much sin. We can also that greed controls people. People are willing to do anything just to get money even resulting to unlawful practices. It may also result in murder. We can see that people are able to manipulate others or use others without the other party knowing it just to gain extra money. There can be a lot of cover-ups to prevent their doings from getting known. We need to learn to be content with what we have.

Sports
Tiger Woods11,12, the greatest golfer in the world, was an example of this. After the accident two years ago, rumors began to circulate about him cheating on his wife. He later admitted to have relationships with other women / girls before and during his marriage. About 10 of them. Just one blink of an eye, from being one of the role models in the sporting world, he has found himself a new fame, his sex scandal. Who would imagine that to happen? In the end, he did not manage to maintain his good image.
Drugs / performance enhancers are used in sports to enhance sportsmen and sportswomen as well. Although most sportsmen / sportswomen did not use them, there are some who used them to enhance their performance. Doing this will give them an unfair advantage to them. Andre Agassi, last year admitted that took crystal meth and he lied during his doping test so that he could avoid a ban in tennis competitions13. Well, Andre Agassi was brave enough to admit it. Michael Phelps also apologised to the swimming federation and to his fans when he was caught smoking marijuana in a photograph. It is not to enhance his performance but rather to have a feeling of "High"14.
Drunkenness
People nowadays also like to get drunk. It is very common no matter where we are in our working lives whether we are normal employees or project managers. A number of us will drink until they are drunk and they will be satisfied. Next day, they will be back to normal. Drinking are allowed in Christianity but drunkenness is prohibited.
That's all for now. Part 2 may cover corruption and graft allegations, baby dumping and other things.
Cheers,
Rogerkoo
