Justin Bautista. Mr. Jablonski. 4/24/17. Term Paper. Political

Political corruption is a major problem in the US today. It involves almost all levels of government and affects people from all walks of life. Public office is a noble post and citizens put their trust in government officials to carry out their constitutional duties for the benefit of the citizenry. The problem comes in where both elected and unelected officials perform their duties with the goal of personal gain in full view of the law. The ethical and moral wrongs of corruption are unjustifiable in any context.

It was a cold, windy afternoon a couple days before we were leaving to fly down to Florida. I was so thrilled to get away from the bitter Midwest. I was thinking in my room and thought about heading to Toronto Blue Jays game over the summer to see my favorite player, Jose Bautista. Jose Bautista has been one of my favorite players for a couple years, and I just really wanted to see him in person. I asked my mom about heading to one and she actually looked up a game to go to, but for Spring Training. It turns out that we found there Spring Training ballpark was just a little over two hours from where we were staying the Florida. My mom and I talked more and more about going to a game, and then it turned out that my mom purchased us each a ticket

"We've previously noted that polls show that Americans are in a pre-revolutionary mood, that less than 1 in 5 Americans think that the government has the consent of the governed, that government corruption tops the list of Americans' fears..." (washingtonsblog.com). One reason why the rate of corruption is increasing is due to the two-party system. Clearly, the two-party electoral system isn't working out for America and we need to move to a more efficient

In 1972, President Ferdinand E. Marcos (1965-86) declared martial law, citing growing lawlessness and open rebellion by the communist rebels as his justification. Marcos governed from 1973 until mid-1981 in accordance with the transitory provisions of a new constitution that replaced the commonwealth constitution of 1935. He suppressed democratic institutions and restricted civil liberties during the martial law period, ruling largely by decree and popular referenda. The government began a process of political normalization during 1978-81, culminating in the reelection of President Marcos to a 6-year term that would have ended in 1987. The Marcos government's respect for human rights remained low despite the end of martial law on January 17, 1981. His government retained its wide arrest and detention powers. Corruption and favoritism contributed to a serious decline in economic growth and development under Marcos.

Political corruption has existed throughout the ages. It believed to be most prominent in positions of power, because of the role money plays in getting people power. However, over the centuries, corruption has changed so much so as to not match a particular definition of corruption, perpetually growing deceptively harder to find (Ebbe).

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.
