Institutions, Organizations And The Lack Of Accountability

 Many organizations, institutions and people believe themselves above accountability. As long as they serve a cause, or greater good, then many believe transgressions should be ignored. This thinking is the road to hell. Without accountability, there is inefficiency at best. More often there is a much worse outcome. Far too many organizations and institutions are not held accountable. If questioned, many perversely condemn it as an attack, and do nothing to reform or change for the better.
 The pursuit of accountability gets lost in ideological conflicts. It is lost by those that put reputation over accountability. Nothing should trump accountability. No organization, no institution, no religion, no leader, no government, no politician; nothing whatsoever.  Unfortunately, the media and press, one of the few ways to get accountability, is too often beholden to powerful interests, and lacks accountability itself.
 Without accountability, exploitation, corruption and harm run rampant.
