Question

Explain how corruption becomes a way of life

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Corruption erodes the trust we have in the public sector to act in our best interests. It also wastes our taxes or rates that have been earmarked for important community projects – meaning we have to put up with poor quality services or infrastructure, or we miss out altogether.

Answer 2

Corruption is the misuse of a trusted position for illicit private ends. Corruption ranges across phenomena including bribery, extortion, fraud, nepotism and outright theft. Corruption is difficult to measure, of course. In perceptions of people around the world, corruption is closely related to administrative efficiency, rule of law and ethics in the private sector. We can spend days or even academic lifetimes debating definitions and the deeper causes of corruption and weak governance.
