Topic: Corruption Should Be Taught From Young Age - page 5. (Read 1758 times)

I agree to this fact but I think every lifestyle shown by every person including a child is as a result of heredity if a person is to be honest that is what is flowing in him and can not depart from that lifestyle but if he or she is to be corrupt then it is obviously heredity

I can't generalize, but most countries are ran by corrupt practices. Maybe it's not the intention of a president or prime minister when he takes on the duty, but once there, he faces many different interests in game and in order to have support from those different sectors and individuals he becomes part of the problem (part of the corrupt system). Where I live it's said the president, governor or mayor have to do immoral things, otherwise it's impossible to rule. It's disgusting and repulsive to hear such things, but that is what citizens of the country say. As we can see, they are also part of the problem, because they have already accepted corruption as a trivial and essential aspect of the society.

After all, 'every nation has the government it deserves and every government is the reflex of its own citizens'.

It will get you surprised that the department or institutions that you thinking can expose corruption and the people on the corruption table are the one doing corruption act and collaboration with government officials to hide stolen money of the people. Corruption is a very serious problem in some countries, it will take plenty of time to reduce because it will hardly go totally. I think serious laws against corruption should be in place for the people that are practicing it and stealing public money.

This is also happening in my country, so in the not too distant future corruption may become the culture of the country. In my country no matter how well you study with an advanced degree but if you don't have money you will never get a job. No matter what job you do from hospital, school or related to administrative procedures, if you don't have money, you will never be able to solve it. For me corruption can never go away, it will stay with us forever.

yeah right. The application of strict regulations does play an important role in combating corruption. as in New Zealand. there besides education there are also other things that make corruption not so much in the country. namely the existence of transparency in the law. Residents there also uphold and respect the law. Transparency and openness are strictly enforced, so that people can easily access any data or any type of report that they need. and the result of transparency and openness in all fields being strictly enforced in New Zealand seems to be quite effective in fighting corruption there. but even in Indonesia, steps like this have been taken several years ago. But apparently because the population of Indonesia is much larger than in New Zealand. then the result is not as effective as in new zealand. because the population in New Zealand is less than in Indonesia.

Indeed, in this case, it is very difficult for us to overcome the corruption that has become ingrained in an institution or an institution in the environment we live in.
I will not refer to distant things, I will refer to my own country here because indeed in my country, corruption is like an open secret because every behavior that is carried out cannot even be separated from corruption it seems.
Looking for a job, Being someone who has authority in the government, Even trying to get children into a proper education is very difficult to happen because there is indeed a lot of corruption that requires it, like it or not, this has become a common culture.

But on the other hand, that doesn't mean it can't be changed, because as long as everyone synergizes well and establishes strict rules, it's certain that things like this can be changed.The fact is that currently there are several countries that can be said to be very clean from corruption, such as Denmark, Finland and New Zealand.
With this we can already know that things like corruption may be eliminated but it must be with appropriate synergy and everyone has the same desire to eliminate corruption, but when this cannot be done because there are still many people who always put forward personal desires then this is definitely very difficult and forever corruption will continue to exist.

The problem is sometimes there are a lot of big people who have authority in this matter which always takes root because when one of them is caught clearly than to have their rottenness exposed they all prefer to give a lighter sentence.
On the other hand, things like this are common knowledge in some circles, including the country I live in. Not only from the government system but even when children enter school, they must be made objects for corruption.

I agree that corruption will be solved if we have a non-corrupt government, but government is also a collective and one person cannot manage all the rest. The president is not corrupt but he does not have enough time to manage his subordinates will not be corrupt. You should know that people who work for the government, in addition to being responsible for the country, are also responsible for their family, so it is inevitable that there will be times when emotions interfere with work. Greed is a part of our body and it is very difficult to get rid of it. You still blame the government but if you were in that position I'm sure you would also be corrupt, that's human nature.

Corruption is not only caused by greed, it is also caused by high selfishness. attitude is always more selfish without caring about others. and such an attitude must be controlled from a young age. because if left unchecked a trait can grow into a person's character. and when it has turned into a character. then it will be difficult to change/repair.

Children's first school is in the family, when they often see bad things then the child will be bad, but if the family teaches good things and introduces bad things then he will become a moral person and the next step is the environment, the family's job is to find a house that has good environment to shape children's character.

Corruption is like malignant cancer. When not noticed at the beginning stages, it can grow to become fatal. Just like @The Chymist observed, it's hard to avoid such an anomaly when we are inherently born greedy.

 Sometimes coming from a morally upright background can't help who we are, especially when given that which excited the pleasure and comfort part of the brain.
Sometimes I wonder how you when you take a cookie from a child and offer cash, the child becomes disinterested in that cookie and instead wants the cash.
 I think if we can curb greed from a young age, then we can be close to fighting off corruption.

I still blame the government for corrupt practices.  When the government is corrupt every part of the system will be corrupt. The foundation of corruptions are the leaders, leaders are suppose to lead by examples. When young people are coming up you don't expect them to be free from corruption when we have leaders that are already corrupt. A government who hates corruption Will make the people to also hate corruption. The leader have a serious role to play to kick away corruption.

Corruption is something that keeps the country from progressing, unfortunately corruption is currently being carried out jointly from all state institutions from the executive, judiciary and legislative, things that are clear are corruption but they consider it like a normal thing so it is very difficult to stop.

Can't blame you. Candidates of different terms have mentioned about this countless times but nothing happened. Corruption is an undending process simply because it is not only person who runs each and every sector. Indeed there's a president but how about his/her subordinates? would he be able to watch every actions of the administration which is why I see no end to it. Even if 10/20 would be good, the remaining won't and as long as there's atleast one corrupted officer, things will just continue. It should not be normalized but because of the long years which have passed, things aren't surprising anymore, people are just hopeless of change.

The most real problem for now is that corruption is ingrained because it is not only about now but even corruption has occurred, perhaps even before our lives, so that indeed things like this will obviously be a little difficult to eradicate regardless of anything.
Personally, I'm actually quite pessimistic if anyone or the government says it will eradicate corruption as long as the conditions don't change and there's no punishment that really deters them forever.

Would make no difference to be honest. All those countries that are highly corrupted, has been like this for years and no changes have taken place. Do you think their people aren't aware what is going on? Yes, they all are aware, yet they don't do anything to get rid of the corruption. They would prefer to sit and watch and blame their own people and the government, rather than doing something to over throw their government and elect someone that will bring changes to their country. They shouldn't be taught about corruption only, they should also be taught about fighting corruption, but I wonder if a corrupted country would allow that...

This same moral character start from the home where each child comes from, their must be proper orientation about the way a child is expected to live his life at home, in school or in the society, children can always remember what had been taught because they have a retentive memory, let's build up our children right from home so that they will stand out amidst corrupt individuals in any place they find themselves.

Only pure intention, a good heart, and honesty can prevent corruption, but mostly when we say these words, those people will just laugh. I know this is very impossible because when money is involved, people will tend to find a way to get some of it if no one is looking. I hope in the next generation this will be gone. I am very hopeful about this. But as of the moment, there will still be corruption, even if we haven't seen it.

In my opinion, there will be no effective way to prevent corruption. Today, corruption in schools is bigger than any other profession, achievement disease...even the principal and teachers are corrupt, who will teach the children?

Corruption only stops when everyone has a dream life, which means that society will be equal, no longer distinguish between rich and poor, no longer compete with each other, and have full amenities for everyone...but this will never happen, so corruption never goes away.

The increasing level of corruption from time to time is accompanied by a decreasing level of morale from time to time.
And in school the lessons on morals have been reduced. and moral education is actually more effective if it is taught directly in the family environment.

Being a moral person means being a person who can control himself by not disturbing others, not harming others, and of course controlling his greed for wealth. So it is not wrong if the root of the problem of corruption is because of the greedy nature that has taken over a person. and greed is present in everyone. but some can control it and some can't.
and Moral education is about controlling all the vices within us so as not to harm ourselves and others. and corruption is an act that harms others. and a moral person will not do it. so I hope that moral education can be improved either in the school environment or in the family environment. it would be better if it was also applied in everyday social interactions.
