Shattered Glass Prompt/ Quiz
I think that the actions of Stephen Glass were
handled properly by firing him. His actions can be forgiven but I feel that a
man like Glass would continue to do the same thing over again he would lie

his head. If I was an editor at another magazine similar to the New Republic,
no I would not hire him because of the sole fact that the majority of the facts
and stories he comes up with are false. If this were a magazine that talks
gossip Glass would be perfect for the job, but that’s not the case. If I was on
the committee that needed to approve Glass to become a lawyer I would
disapprove as well. In law today lawyers are only concerned for their clients,
even if the client is 100% guilty they will find ways to get them out of

at lying and we don't need any more of that in our government. Forgiveness
doesn't always require giving someone a second chance as I Christian I am
obligated to sincerely forgive and not to hold grudges. So yes I will always
forgive but that doesn't necessarily mean I will trust that individual. If I
were to continue to give Glass
