Topic: Corruption is more dangerous than disease (Read 317 times)

All you described above is directly pointing to one Africa country. Maybe the giant of the countries of Africa. Corruption is one simple word but has a heavy and deeper meaning than it appears. Corruption affects the mind which affects behaviour and mutilates culture and eventually replaces it. The worse scenario is when corruption is eventually seen as a norm by the majority of a nation.

There was a president in Africa whose agenda was to fight corruption. According to him, he tried his best but at a particular time, corruption was fighting back. Majority laughed at him without knowing what he meant by corruption was fighting back.

Corruption in our bodies is why we all get old and die.

We have discussed this, it is not surprising that many people compare corruption to a disease. In fact, corruption is likened to cancer. Corruption is also often indicated as an extraordinarily dangerous disease that damages the economy and undermines the foundations of society and a country. Unfortunately, corruption does not recognize status, position, profession, gender and does not look at who the person is and what the impact is. We often hear about corruption cases in poor countries, and it also depends on the human resources themselves. although, it's not always that specific. Unfortunately, eradicating the proliferation of corruption is not as easy as we say or discuss.

In my country, the level of corruption is very worrying. starting from the lowest to the top, I mean starting from the lowest to the highest level. Even though every country has a platform to deal with corruption problems, it is a shame that the institutions appointed to deal with corruption are often involved in corruption bribery cases themselves. There are various causes of corruption, including economic problems, namely low income compared to living needs and a consumerist lifestyle. a culture of tipping, a low culture of shame, weak inconsistent legal sanctions by law enforcement agencies, and a lack of legal oversight. Well, whatever the corruption, whether carried out by individuals or even corporations, the impact will be very detrimental to the lives of many people or a community within a country.
Actually, I like the method used by other Asian countries, namely China. At that time, Xi Jingping vowed to eradicate corruption at its roots. At the very least, in the first era of Xi Jingping's rule, harsh punishments for those found guilty will be very severe. In fact, he did not hesitate to take the life of someone who was proven guilty of his acts of corruption. These ideas and notions can be implemented if the leader is truly brave and sides with his community.

It has been and will be everywhere, the very people who are fighting it are involved in it.

for my understanding corruption is disease itself I don't see any difference between corruption and disease, why because where disease affected the person or the thing gets bad and same with corruption. Wherever corruption is there is no growth or neither things will get worse and the nation or the society will live in darkness, cause their is no good people living around them so they aren't no difference between corruption and disease. Compering the both they're at the same point and the same view but not functioning in the same structures.

Democracy is simply another form of group Dictatorship. The US was formed to be a Constitutional Republic, with a Democracy form of official government being controlled by the people of the Republic. This worked for a while in the early history of the US. But the people forgot that they were a Republic, and succumbed to the ideology that their country is a Democracy.

Op corruption is a social science concept while disease is a medical sickness of the body. I understand your point you are driving to here,  but both are sickness of the society,  when the society is full of corrupt people, then citizens won't have access to good drinking water and good health care, it will expose them to diseases, so you're right corruption is really more dangerous than disease.  Most diseases in our body today is as a result of what we eat. We eat foods that are not good for thr body because we don't have money to get it. Corruption has eaten deep into the society,  the political actors has impoverished us ,we have no money to buy good foods for our body, that exposed our body to all kind of sickness because our immune system lacks nutrition as a result of unbalanced food we consumed because of poverty. 

Indeed you said the truth because when a society is facing corruption definitely they will be a lot of crime in that society because there laws and order will not be very effective. I prefer diseases than corruption because disease is curable, take for instance corona virus is a wide spread virus that causes a lot of shot down of every nation all over the world, during that time it was like will we be out of this forever but to my surprise they finally find it cure, but when we talk of corruption it spread faster than disease because with just a single phone call everything will change.

Everything you’ve said is right and you can’t take that away from everyone no matter how you try to. Corruption is like a disease and when it’s instill into people, it can take forever lifetime before you can take that away from them. Corruption will always prevail over every other thing if the people who are responsible to end it are also the main perpetrators of it. Corruption has caused more harm than good and in the years to come it’ll always be in that manner. The beginning of corruption from the tender age is the end of it all for a nation where a person with even an iota of corruption in them is given the chance to lead them. For a leader to be given a position, investigations should be done that if he/she has ever been going of corruption should not be given that position and that’s the best for every nation if they knew.

First two main laws. If you don't do these perfectly you are corrupt.

1. Love God above all things.
2. Love everybody else as much as you love yourself.

Actually you on the point Mate, corruption is very faster to surround the society by killing people's I can even say that corruption is faster than speed of light, because even in our country now the way corruption is dealing with so much of people's taking their life is something that government his self the consider, but him over look without take any solutions.
 
A disease has his own part with cannot compare disease with the corruption, and the main people's that are the middle of corruption are leaders because their the one that supposed to prevent the corruption from circulate the country but they couldn't, that why the country cam never remains in peace and the numbers of poverty will be increased.

Obviously corruption can in other terms be defined as an enemy of progress of a nation because those countries where I have seen corruption have had little or no success after that corruption began to make its way in such nations, it really dangerous than disease in the sense that in a country where there is a high rate of corruption, there is definitely going to be increased rate of poverty in such country and which results to many things, where we will have people face/ suffer different kind of issues due to bad government.

You know, that is not a suitable example for us to talk about corruption, it is rather an example of speculation. In reality, the prices of the open market would not allow a farmer to sell their products for the triple of the price as easily as you portrait.
A better example for corruption would be a police person abusing of their power for financial gain, that is the simplest example. Though, I would agree with you that corruption does not start and end with big position in government, it also starts with the common people like you and I.

Your example of the speculating farmer reminds me of some countries which went hrough socialism, by the way, in which people who worked the land were forced to sell their crops to the government.

Corruption undermines democracy and erodes trust, corruption is more deadly than sickness. Many people associate corruption with the government when we discuss it, forgetting that it begins with me and ends with us. Consider a scenario where a nearby farmer harvests grain from his land and sells it for three times the cost. A manager of a company will have an affair with his worker in exchange for a job, etc. The government is not to blame for any of these. Fighting corruption inside our ranks will make it easier for us to take on the government. Speaking of the government, there have been fatalities as a result of their inability to employ funds allotted for the development of decent roads, state hospitals with enough equipment, decent schools, etc. You will concur with me that corruption is more hazardous than disease if you contrast all of this with the onset of a particular ailment. Like diseases, which may be treated or managed if the specific cause is identified, corruption is impossible to completely eradicate since it involves all segments of society, including the wealthy, powerful, and the impoverished.

Corruption is enough to destroy a nation. There is corruption in more or less all countries. But I know of some countries where corruption like usury, bribery, extortion and theft of people's money by the leader is open. As a result, even though there is no shortage of anything in that country, the country remains within the poverty line. I will blame the country's ruler for this corruption. A ruler is obliged to rule the country and the people of the country as they should be ruled. But if the ruler of any country is corrupt, then the destruction of that country is sure if the people are not aware.

That's because the masses are easily deceived by propaganda by these corrupt politicians, they sell their sacred votes for a few bucks, and these corrupt officials are more than willing to pay because they know they are getting ten times what they are giving out, the masses are partly to blame for this culture.
Our country is one example of this; we have people who are clean and capable, but they prefer to cling to traditional corrupt officials because they do not want to take risks, thinking that the ones they do not know will be worse than the old ones they prefer. Again, the masses deserve the kind of governance they choose.

Corruption is not good likewise is the invasion of any disease, there is no any good in what will harm human beings, we are to take care of ourselves and avoid any form of sickness because it leads to pain and threat of life, no one will ever want to get sick not to talk of how we can manage to see corrupt practices and withstand it, we should make life easy for everyone of us by doing the right thing without being supervised on it.

Depending what you mean by the bolded text, what these positions are and how would they use their power, it can be either fuel for corruption or normal route against corruption.
Because if such power, like deciding what's corruption and what's not, would be in the hands of the few, it would lead to more corruption.

Corruption can be only fought with transparency and regulations, and by forcing all companies, institutions and officials to follow same regulations.
This requires transparency in a way it guarantees auditability of said institutions, persons and companies. Distributing this regulatory power as much as possible and subjecting everyone unders same rules ensures everyone's accountability.

Corruption does not look at people and nowadays it is difficult to find someone who is honest, so they want to seek instant wealth, and it is more dangerous than disease and images like that because the resulting effects are very broad, involving many people who will be harmed, which is considered very dangerous for survival and progress of the country.

Corruption destroy faster than disease, because is very easy for corruption to go round the country to cause hardship that will be taking people life while it take disease a long years before the disease will start taking people life little by little in the community, That is why people don't likely taking it easy with some corrupt leader because they don't wish the people well in the community and such people need to be ignore in any position they are coming out for in their party.
