The corruption in the government, one of the main problems in the majority of countries in the world, causing death, poverty and impunity in the life of the persons. People think that government corruption is just buying votes to win the elections, but this is just a little part of the corruption. The corruption of the government has been present for a long time ago, covering a great variety of problems in the society, like the stealing the money from the people, alliances with the narco, using the power just a favor of the politicians, increasing the prices of food, fuel and public services just to make more money. The people do not have the necessary services to survive and if the services are available they are expensive. In some parts of the world the government is colluding with the delinquency, in the case of Mexico, the government is colluded with the narco. The corruption in Mexico has permeated several segments of society like political, economic, and social. Also it has greatly affected the country’s legitimacy, transparency, accountability, and effectiveness; knowing the majority of the people of

First, it is important to define what corruption is. The term, “corruption” covers a broad range of human actions,

I Think corruption starts within organizations is when There are no authority checks and balances that effects the mindset and integrity of The employees who are in high management positions and also working within the any department of a government sector or business. With the economy growing in many states corruption decreases because jobs are able to pay people well and not below what the job position requires. Many factors play when it comes to corruption because it starts from home so a family or person can live well and a major factor can be the strength of the state presidency office if, the presidency for the state is not strong and showing good change to help the state in bad times people start to lose motivation and practices that things will get better and decide to take things in their own hands as for corruption.

Government corruption has been going on for too long and only got worse when President Obama walked into office. The people haven’t seen freedom in this country for a long time. We have been lied to many times and the people have been brainwashed by false information by the media. America has increased in corruption, the email scandal with Hillary Clinton, and Obama wanting to pardon Hillary.

Corruption happens everywhere but there are some countries that really struggle with their law enforcement agents being corrupt. For example, in countries with high poverty it is not a surprise to see law enforcement associated with criminals. They allow criminals to transport their drugs or sell them to get a cut of the profits. In Mexico it is very common that a cop who stops someone for a traffic infraction would let them go without a ticket if they give them “a mordida” which basically is slipping the cop some money and they will let you go on with your day. It is very sad that such things happen. In order to fix that there would have to be a strong government in place, and higher sanctions for officers that get caught being involved in corrupt activities.

Corruption can take many forms and can be found in many countries, but mainly in the emerging ones. The main form of corruption is the bribery in the form of payments demanded by the government or ministry officials in exchange for a favor (granting a service, awarding a business).Corruption affects all the businesses that interfere with the government, but studies have shown that certain industries are more exposed to it. These industries are construction, airline manufacturing, power plants, and oil and gas production.

During the 19th and 20th century, the split between Liberal and Conservative parties had caused trouble in Colombia. The Conservative party of Colombia beliefs were that the state and church (preferably Catholic churches) should work together in government, land ownership should be preserved, and central government should be in control of electing government officials. Liberals beliefs were that the church and state should be separate and central government should have restrictions on power.

In the United States of America, a large portion of our political beliefs center around a balanced government, where no one group has complete control over the government. Where no man can change the whole of America with a swipe of a pen. But, even America, the Land of the Free, is not free from political corruption. For our government, beautiful as it may seem, hides away the evils that plague our political system. Is political corruption in the U.S.A real? Or is it simply something to laugh at on Snopes? Today, we will go over the evidence, and I think you’ll find that there is political corruption in the U.S.A.

Corruption in Venezuela has prevalent since the nation gained independence in 1821. But, corruption rose to unforeseen levels during Hugo Chavez’s presidential era. Hugo Chavez was president of Venezuela for 11 years. “There is no exaggerating the extent of Venezuela 's decline and fall. The wealthiest country per capita in Latin America is sinking deeper and deeper into what must inevitably be bankruptcy, as everything fiscal goes wrong.” (Thomson, 2010) He came into power with the intentions of making Venezuela a socialist nation. His impact on the nation of Venezuela has touched every aspect of the society from economics to the quality of living. His extreme, radical ideology mirrored those of the Cuban socialist revolution. Nationalization of assets and equal distribution of wealth among the nation sounds like an ideal plan, but what went wrong? Was it the decrease in oil production, investors or private businesses? Or, did the inflation and decreasing value of the currency finally catch up to the nation? It is important to note that Chavez pulled his support from the lower and middle class. His neglect of the rich made it easier for his socialist ideals to merge into Venezuelan society. During Hugo Chavez’s 11-year reign, how did his radical changes affect Venezuela’s economy nationally and globally?

According to James Painter in his BBC News article “Latin America faces year of change”, Latin America suffers from social violence, kidnapping, drug trafficking, child pornography, lack of women’s rights, and little accountability over the region’s law makers and authorities which can lead to government corruption (para. 12). Government corruption can be defined as political power used by government leaders for private gain and to maintain their power as a government official. Most of the times these corrupt politicians in Latin America say they are accomplishing apprehension of criminals to the best of their abilities when, in reality, they commit the same multitude of crimes. Politicians are able to maintain their power as a result of

Corruption has been seen as a major obstacle of rapid economic growth and development. It is a complex phenomenon whose roots lay in political and bureaucratic institutions and affects the economic growth of different countries. It makes the governments intervene where they do not need to, and it weakens the ability of the government to enact and implement policies in areas in which government intervention is needed. Over the years, the dispute of the economic consequences of corruption on economic growth has been a topic of analysis. The analysis is focused on the effect of corruption on economic growth. Several studies have generally found a negative correlation between corruption, economic growth, inequality, governance, income distribution and business environment. At the same time also some positive correlation with economic growth has been found to exist.
