Choose the main pattern of organization of the passage. After years of emphasizing harshly competitive practices, some companies are finding that — a kinder, gentler workplace benefits the bottom line. Slogans such as “greed is good” and books like The Art of War were prevalent in the corporate world of the 1980s and 1990s. In the new millennium, however, many of the corporate success stories are related to the creation of workplaces that are open and friendly. When the bosses are tyrannical and the employees are afraid to speak up, it’s a recipe for disasters, such as the ones that happened at corporate- scandal-ridden Enron and Tyco in 2001 and 2002. On the other hand, when people feel free to speak their minds, it allows more creativity and productivity to emerge. Employees feel they are part of a team and want to contribute. It is no accident that companies that have an excellent reputation for service, such as Starbucks and Zappos, also foster dignity and respect in the workplace.

In a democracy, it is important for a free press to assume a watchdog role, meaning that it accepts responsibility for protecting the public from deceitful, careless, incompetent, and corrupt officials. In this role, the press stands ready to expose any official who violates accepted legal, ethical, and performance standards. The most notable example of the watchdog role in recent history took place during the Watergate scandal. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post spent months uncovering evidence that high- ranking officials in the Nixon White House were lying about their role in the burglary of the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters and in their subsequent cover-up. Virtually all the nation’s media picked up on the Post’s revelations. Nixon was forced to resign, as was his attorney general, John Mitchell. The Watergate episode is a dramatic reminder that a vigilant press is one of society’s best safeguards against abuses of political power.
