A “whistleblower” is someone who exposes ________ in his or her workplace. The term comes from English police officers who would blow their whistles when they saw a crime being committed. Whistleblowers today do not literally blow whistles, but they expose illegal activities in their workplace. Sometimes these illegal activities are committed by powerful executives. For this reason, it can be quite dangerous to be a whistleblower. One famous whistleblower, Karen Silkwood, died in a car accident shortly after she went public with problems at the nuclear power plant where she worked. Her relatives say she had documents in her car that proved that executives at the power plant were acting illegally. After the accident, the documents mysteriously disappeared. The police determined the accident to be a random tragedy, but some people think the power plant was responsible.
