'Noble cause violations' can regularly occur in my profession in the following ways...
Please make sure in your answer you explain why the violations you identify are "Noble Cause" violations. example can be military or healthcare/pharmaceuticals.
Title: Bureaucracy!
Everyone exists and/or works in context to some bureaucracy- For police it is their department and for students it is the school setting.

knowledge and experience to an individual from childhood to adulthood. During this period, a
person is under instructions on what to and not to do (Burr, 2006). It is the time when a child learns
what is wrong or right. Indeed, the parents have full control in providing social knowledge until
adulthood.
A good example is that a child learns how to walk and talk from guardians and any other
