He did not intend De Oratore as merely a treatise on rhetoric, but went beyond mere technique to make several references to philosophical principles. Cicero understood that the power of persuasion—the ability to verbally manipulate opinion in crucial political decisions—was a key issue. The power of words in the hands of a man without scruples or principles would endanger the whole community. As a consequence, moral principles can be taken either by the examples of noble men of the past or by the great Greek philosophers, who provided ethical ways to be followed in their teaching and their works.

In 2010, after investigation, the Vatican released a report saying that Fr Marcial committed "true crimes and manifest a life without scruples or authentic religious sentiment," the Vatican said.

Römer finds that the records "prove that Hitler's generals had executed his murderous orders without scruples or hesitations", contrary to the myth of a "clean" Wehrmacht. Historian Wolfram Wette, reviewing the book, notes that the sporadic objections to the order were merely pragmatic and that its cancellation in 1942 was "not a return to morality, but an opportunistic course correction". Wette concludes: > The Commissar Order, which has always had a particularly strong influence on > the image of the Wehrmacht because of its obviously criminal character, has > finally been clarified. Once again the observation has confirmed itself: the > deeper the research penetrates into the military history, the gloomier the > picture becomes.

During the extensive research Hergé carried out for The Blue Lotus, he became influenced by Chinese and Japanese illustrative styles and woodcuts.

Her defense counsel, veteran international lawyer Édouard Clunet,Mauro Macedonio Mata Hari, a life through images, Tricase: Youcanprint, 2017 p. 207. faced impossible odds; he was denied permission either to cross-examine the prosecution's witnesses or to examine his own witnesses directly.

Zelle has often been portrayed as a femme fatale, the dangerous, seductive woman who uses her sexuality to effortlessly manipulate men, but others view her differently: in the words of the American historians Norman Polmer and Thomas Allen she was "naïve and easily duped", a victim of men rather than a victimizer.

In the original text, it already appears as a double entendre: one of the key characters, Nae Cațavencu, declares himself liber schimbist, technically "a supporter of free trade", but this can also be read as "easy changer"—one who changes views or convictions easily, without scruples. One of the main principles of the party was granting the status of honorary membership to anyone who changed their allegiance from one political party to another. Cazimir, often mistaken as the party founder, had had a political involvement with the Romanian Communist Party and, earlier, the Union of Communist Youth, to which he adhered ca. 1949. Alex. Ștefănescu, "Reacții rapide. Ștefan Cazimir-show", in România Literară, Nr. 16/2007 In December, he had been caught up in the revolutionary events, first as an unwilling participant in the communist counter-manifestation, then as a supporter of the street movement in Bucharest.

Călinescu, p.481-482 In his view, the work became "a drama of maternity" and a fable using characteristic anthropomorphism ("the devices of La Fontaine").Călinescu, p.482 In this context, he noted, the tale also provided a comedic "analogy between the animal and the human worlds", with "symbols-caricatures": the goat "with many utters and a bleating voice" as "a caricature of motherhood which nature itself has provided", but also as "the garrulous and whiny woman"; the wolf as a "man without scruples." Literary historian Mircea Braga explored the narrative in order to locate themes he argues are characteristic for both Creangă's work and Romanian folklore: the "perturbing situation" (in this case, the departure of the goat and the unusual responsibility bestowed on her sons), the rite of passage trial (testing the kids' ability to hide from the path of danger) and the happy ending as a triumph of the good, which often involves a positive reply to each of the evil deeds preceding it (the mock- feast organized by goat).Mircea Braga, postface to Ion Creangă, Poveşti şi povestiri, Editura Minerva, 1987, p.
