Topic: Corruption Should Be Taught From Young Age (Read 1758 times)

Every country has strict laws to eradicate corruption but the implementation factor of the corruption eradication agency is not handled optimally even corrupt suspects have been on the run for almost 3 years, they claim to have tracked down and identified their hiding area but were not arrested for various reasons, even the last statement was that Covid conditions cannot catch corruptors hiding in other countries, but now the case has been abandoned because the corrupt factor is part of the government party.

So I agree with you, how to educate students from an early age to avoid corruption but they show unfair punishments against corruptors from part of the government party, but corruptors from ordinary people are immediately dealt with more quickly and punished severely. If we want the next generation to be free of corruption, then clean up all corruptors with fair law without considering the status of any officials.

I also feel that people who are corrupted in later ages are generally not well taught at family. And their friendships are probably focused on money. Its sad to see that corruption can start from bottom and reach to parliament members or judges so in some countries its impossible to combat... But I think good people stay good. I know many young public officers that were offered bribe but instantly rejected because they wouldn't feel good about it.

The poverty rate will increase with corruption, state officials have seized people's rights with dishonorable actions taken to enrich themselves.
It's useless to educate students from an early age to stay away from corruption when they are entrusted with certain positions, especially in government divisions, the system that applies in government is not free from bribery. I prefer the government to issue strict laws against corruptors, only the government system can eradicate corruption.
Government laws are more effective than early education in schools, this is about greed, they are very aware that their actions are against the law which can harm other people. Amputation or execution is one of the most effective ways to eradicate corruption.

The corrupt person is not aware of his responsibility to the state. He doesn't care about other people, or in other words he only cares about himself.

And I agree that corruption must be taught from a young age. Young people must be taught that besides corruption harming others, corruption also harms themselves. The most important thing is that young children must apply the habit of honesty, and instill a character that is aware that corruption is wrong and does not lead to anything good.

Of course corruption might only put into its end if the government officials will first show transparency most particularly on their bank accounts. That way, if corruption might still continue, at least the number of cases may somehow declined. However, since corruption is already part of our growing economy, then it’s hard to prevent it especially that most aspiring government officials these days are all for money and power, not on the advocacy for helping the people especially those unfortunate ones.

Kids can remember easily and that's why whatever is taught to them at a very young age and if you've told them that it is bad to do such things, they'll remember it so as corruption or being corrupted.

You're right.

The influence, surroundings, peer and environment can play an impactful part of a kid's growth. But it's still a good measure that a parent is teaching their kids the right path and reminding them what is corruption.

Maybe that's true. But basically good ethics and morals can usually be maintained from two factors, namely external environmental factors (school and social relations) and internal environmental factors (family). Even if we learn about child psychology at a certain age, there is an age where a child will imitate everything he sees and hears for the first time. and it was at that time that habits and the formation of a child's character and character began to be carried on to adulthood. starting from that age, the role of parents is very important in educating and setting a good example and even limiting any media that can have a negative impact on children's moral learning. so that it is hoped that children will grow up and continue to have good moral principles into adulthood.

And as said before that currently education about ethics and morals in schools has decreased dramatically. the curriculum on it has been whittled down and little is taught. and at school more are taught about business and opportunities to make money. so that the mindset of students will be formed to only be about money and money. When money has become the main thing and it will bring greed on one side. and well when someone gets the opportunity to become a high official and there is an easy opportunity to commit corruption. So when a person's ethical and moral honesty is really low, it means that the value of honesty and trust is low and he is used to being taught about the importance of money and building better finances no matter what. then yes that person will have a higher potential to commit corruption.

But when someone has been taught about honesty and ethics and morals that are already attached to their principles (formed into character and mindset) then usually they will have more brakes in their life. such as when there is an opportunity for corruption, their character who is accustomed to honesty will have less potential to fall into corrupt behavior. because people who are ethical and moral are used to always not wanting to harm others. and at least their potential to become corruptors is smaller than people who do not have ethical and moral character who of course will always justify any means and do not care about the losses suffered by other people.

What makes me feel confused here is why should the study of corruption be taught to children? Isn't that the biggest part that can destroy a country, because usually such studies only need to be known by those who are already teenagers, but that's not how they put it into practice in life. Knowledge like that needs to be known so that they (the youth) can know what are the impacts and the bad effects if it is done in a country. So it is more for the purpose of just knowing it and there is no need to practice it in life.

The problem with this is that the more you get educated, the smarter you get, and the meaning of this is that you'll now easily see the loopholes in the systems, which is why you'll now try to exploit them. Others also get influenced by those corrupt people and can't say no because it's money or gets threatened. The only solution to corruption is either the government will really investigate this (the president) or the hardest one is to play fair and not do it, and that's for everyone, which we know is really impossible.

actually corruption can be eliminated, but it is very difficult because the perpetrators of corruption are those who are state officials who regulate the system.
education does have an effect but it is very small, when they have gaps or opportunities to commit corruption it is very likely that they will do so, in fact most corruption is carried out not because it is planned but because they have the opportunity.

If corruption can be eliminated through education then all developed countries will have zero corruption rare and only illetrate people will do corruption but we see highly educated people doing corruption. There are many things that give way to corruption and to remove corruption we have to address the causes that are giving way to corruption.

I don't know, even though we teach anti-corruption from an early age to the younger generation, it can still change because we cannot control all the environment and outside influences that are accepted and become habits.

In my opinion, corruption in every country probably exists and occurs in every sector of the organization, and in my opinion, corruption is a big current that is difficult to reduce. I think the only way to eradicate corruption is for the country to make strict laws for corruptors.

At small age itself study about corruption is become at teen age are damage about this ideas or increase the impact because and know about the corruption is small thought only and parent our children's are know this at beginning stage itself and i know about this  and also the bad things are kept in mind is important  and so this only the corruption should be taught from young age.

There's the danger and that's why it's better be taught early because some activities and norms that these kids may not could be the start of corruption.

While they're still young and little, they'll have the idea on what they should avoid and what it can be in the future. These kids are easy to teach but you need also to be careful with the wordings you'll use on them so that they can easily understand why it has to be learned.

And out of their own curiosity, soon they'll be the one asking questions related to it.

The idea of teaching a young kid about corruption at a young age will affect or impact the understanding of the kids when they are mature because their understanding will be small to understand what corruption entail.
I know some parents want their children to understand this around them at the early stage but we must also consider the danger inside it.

Education will make things in order, but the sophistication and the ease of achieving their work done leads to corruption. So, we need to change and the same could really make an impact.

As said the parents itself unable to educate the kids on their busy schedule doesn't think of mere amounts spend on something. Lets assume, both father and mother were working and they earn good. Now they need something to be registered or some official need. They reach the government office and to get the job done they just gift the officer or something. Now the parents have provided it, because they're in a position to give and this doesn't hurt their finance in any means. They get the job done easily. Now the officer expect the same with everyone and does the job for some after getting bribe. This hurts the poor and this is where change needs to happen. Education doesn't gonna change anything in the system.

Both good teaching on those sides whether it would be teach up on school and on your own home on which you are the ones who had been raising up kids and if they would be able to follow up those good values.
Then its unlikely that they would really be raised up as a bad child or whatsoever but there's no way that we could really be that conclusive when it comes to this on which we know as our children gets old then
it would really be that understandable that there would be lots of factors on which it could influenced out their overall behavior and ideas on mind specially if they are really that exposed into that.
This would really be molding up those bad ideas and other approach which it would really be opposing that being ethical.

Although teaching up some good values and other ideas which do opposed on bad stuffs, but still it wont really be giving out that assurance that it would really be followed in the end of the line.
We know that once you do place yourself into such position on which you do have the power and influence then for sure you would be thinking about on how to make more money. 

Corruption does not have a limit so I believe that any country who is embracing corruption is getting their self into trouble more in that country because I know quite well that fighting of corruption stand fan condition or rules and regulation of that particular country which if anyone I learnt the rules and regulation of the country the person will be penalized due to what the law said

about this issue of teaching people from an early age not to become corrupt, I think the idea is good, obviously everyone knows that this should be done, but the question we all have to ask ourselves:

Why don't they do this in most countries?

the answer is the following:

to govern a country it is necessary to have a political party (I am talking about Africa in particular), this is because only then will the person have financial, human and material resources to convince the majority of the population, it happens that each person in the political party asks for something in exchange for the support he will give to the candidate who will be president of the country and when that person becomes president of the country he starts to fulfill what he promised to everyone in his political party who supported him and this is where all the problems begin, the person comes to power being a person without character, he lies to the people and the blind and dumb people vote for that person's shit

this person starts robbing the whole country and divides with his political party and to deceive the people he builds some small things with debts he makes in international banks such as the IMF or the world bank and the stupid people are fooling themselves and continue to vote for this person and his shitty political party, this is what has happened in africa, so every step of government from the base (the lowest position) to the top are made up of corrupt people and the system cannot arrest them en masse because they are the people who they support the president of the country, without their support the president of the country may not be elected again or the day he stops being president he will suffer a lot

In order not to give birth to a corrupt generation, education is the most suitable and must be implemented from an early age, not only by teachers at school but also by parents at home. namely the lesson on Ethics and Morals.

Whether we realize it or not, nowadays Ethics and Moral education is taught less and less, either in the school environment or at home by parents. Currently, many parents are even busy with their jobs and only rely on schools to educate their children.
The main cause of the increasing number of corruptors is due to a decrease in the level of ethics and morals, especially in terms of honesty.
