Who loves himself so much that he sold out his friends and family and will sell all of us if we'll roll over and play dead to allow it?

From Social media to examination anxiety, the disgrace of dating sites, and embroidery in CV. We all like to put our best foot forward but are often tempted to cross the line, which is where dedication and ethics come in.

The Ugly American was a popular 50s political novel that depicted the failures of the U.S. diplomatic corps in Southeast Asia.
