Corruption And Corruption

Tulia, a small town in Texas of just under five-thousand people, is a frightening example of how the judicial system is governed solely by racism as well as one corrupt man’s word. In 1999, nearly ten percent of the town’s African American population was arrested in a single drug bust. Of the forty-six people arrested, thirty-eight were African-American, furthermore all were convicted. The remaining seven arrested where know to associate more with the black community than the white in Tulia as well. With the towns income levels averaging at or below the poverty line, most arrested could not afford to hire a good attorney that cared or had the time to care, left therefore with one provided by the state. Consequently, convictions were up to ninety years in jail for allegedly selling three and a half grams, more commonly known as an eight ball, of cocaine in drug-free zones. In was only on appeals, that the convictions where revoked on insubstantial evidence.

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

The corruptin is the abusive and inefficient use of resources by trusted powers for private gain. Corruption is not committed to the rule of law, justice, human rights and the integrity of public service, and it hurts every one who's life, livelihood, or happiness depends on the integrity of people in a position of authority.Some times it's devastating impact is more visible . The governance ,transparency ,and fighting corruption is so important to sustaine economic growth.

What is the cause? What is the effect? These two questions can greatly impact the mind of a person and broaden their view on the subjects. One of which, is the age old issue of power and corruption. "It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible." --David Brin. Does power cause corruption, or does the corrupted attract and gain the power? The truth is that it is the power that causes corruption. Moreover, it is the idea of power that causes corruption.

The question is how we can stop this corruption? It is hard to stop corruption, but we can try and help prevent it. One way is good governance principles can make it more challenging for corruption to take root. Requirements of good governance are participation, accountability, transparency, and the rule of law (Governance, corruption, and conflict, n.d.) It’s the combination of these principles that can minimize corruption and build a strong society (Governance, corruption, and conflict, n.d.). It is the citizens and governments who need to help minimize these

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.

My heroes have always been those working to protecting the defenseless, becoming a voice for the marginalized and empowering those powerless. My dream is to make a positive impact through the legal system for both environmental issues and aboriginal issues to continue a legacy of social justice. Writers like George Orwell, Hannah Arendt and Samantha Nutt have expanded my critical lens and led me to insight. I believe the study of politics to be an invaluable discipline, as it can provide a framework for governments to protect citizens from the corruption of power. As a first-generation Indo-Canadian woman, born in British Columbia, I have the invaluable opportunity to be part of two worlds. This has enabled me to have a view point of an immigrant

Power is wanted by many people across the universe, and those that gain it are privileged to many advantages in life. Power can be a good thing and a bad thing, mostly depending on what type of person gains the power, but in the end, everyone is the same. Great power has the potential to lead to corruption of the individual, leading to great overlooked weaknesses.

Corruption has always existed in society and no country will get rid of it entirely. Many people considered that political corruption is a cultural issue. Some of them also stated that gift giving is part of our culture and often be used to quibble their corrupt acts (Larmour, 2012). However, people should not confuse gift giving with bribery or corruption and culture should not long be the excuse of culture. In fact, it is unreasonable to assume that political culture are inherently corrupt and rooted in any society. Political leaders violate social and political norms do not mean that there are no norms (Alatas, 1968). Corruption in politics is the result that political leaders rationally make and economically calculated. In this situation, culture does not play a vital role in this decision. Since corruption is not a cultural circumstance in politics, anti-corruption programs might be efficiently implemented. This is because the prevention will not focus on the changes of culture, instead it could aim at the vulnerabilities of a particular moment in corruption history.

In the current world, corruption has been rampant across all the sectors of the global economy. There are many instances when corruption cases have been filed within legal and ethics and integrity enforcement agencies. Corruption ranges from the normal citizens of a nation to the top officials of the nation. It develops from the selfish and greedy nature of people. The effect of corruption on the economies of individual states and nations is often dire, especially when it is large scale. These effects get magnified and worse when corruption involves public commodities and resources. This happens when officials of a nation engage in corruption and other morally and ethically questionable transactions with the public resources. The fight against corruption has of late been serious as states and nations have mandated anti-corruption agencies that are fighting and seeking to control instances of corruption. The following paper is about a case of corruption in China where Bo Xilai, a renowned leader who had served in the communist regime of China, was charged and convicted for serious corruption charges.

Introduction: Corruption is becoming prevalent all over the world. Corruption hurts economies, people, and governments. Corruption is unethical, immoral, and illegal in many societies, religions, and countries. It needs to be stopped.

Corruption in Bangladesh: Corruption is talk of the town in Bangladesh now. It is not only a vice in Bangladesh but also in other countries of the world. But there are differences in the forms and results of corruption in different countries. A few specialists on corruption regard it as supportive to development.

Watching this documentary on basically how corrupt our society and government is was pretty eye opening. Especially for someone who really has no basic understanding of how it all works, especially politics, it personally made me think about the world we live in and how the different social classes really are and how much they really mean. How living with an absurd amount of money can give you all the power in the world, and wondering if it’s really possible for some people to successfully make it out of poverty and reach the other side where you can comfortably live and support yourself. Do people really see the bigger picture? How money really does buy pretty much everything and make the world go around, and the little guys get left in the dust, scrambling to make their way through it all. Honestly the world out there is pretty scary, and as someone pretty much just entering the whole adult life of taxes and figuring out how to survive in this economy, it’s pretty nerve wrecking.

Corruption is a complex political, social, and economic anomaly that negatively affects developing and developed countries. It weakens democratic institutions, holds economic development, widening the rich-poor gap and certainly leads to governmental instability. The World Bank definition of corruption states that “…the abuse of public office for private gain”.
