ABSTRACT
The term whistle blower has been connected to U.S. Civic Activist Ralph Nader who was said to have put ―a positive spin on the term in the early 1970s to avoid the negative connotations found in other words such as ―informer‖ and ―snitch‖1.‖2 In the 19th century, whistle-blowing was attached to law enforcement agents who use whistle as a means of alerting the public or other policemen of illegality.3 The term has also been related to sport referees in sports events who used and still use the whistle to indicate illegality or foulness.4 Other terms synonymously used include snitching, informing or ratting out.
