Corruption is not a class, it's not a topic, it's something that humans have inside them and teaching wouldn't change a thing. You could explain how bad it is from a very early age, but they are thought that killing and stealing are bad too and yet they grow up doing that if you look at the number of murderers and thieves in the world.
It means, if there is a person who would be a corrupt politician for example in the future, you can't teach them what to do without showing them how they could become what they will become. I believe it's all about the family, but it's a bit about position as well, if you are in a position where you could be corrupt and profit from it, it must be very hard not to be corrupt.
Topic: Corruption Should Be Taught From Young Age - page 7. (Read 1758 times)
Teaching corruption or not won't change anything. It just the same thing teaching someone not to lie. It doesn't mean the person will hate lie. Corruption is in the human nature that can't be erase. Teaching corruption will help the child to an extent though, but it is not a guarantee that one will live with no corruption.
Surely there are differences, lessons about corruption are teaching that the action is very bad, and of course corruption is a major crime that is very detrimental to many people so it must be taught from school age, if not taught then it is only considered normal so that there is a lot of corruption and increases.
No amount of teaching about corruption in schools at a young age will combat it.
You may end up enlightening them about corruption, but that will not guarantee addressing the menace called corruption.
The best bet is that every family should inculcate good values to their children, because the society starts from our various homes. If we can get it right there, then it will reflect in the larger society.
But when they grow up they start telling lie and stealing things. I think it is inborn and the parents teaching what action they are taking
If you observe very closely, children tend to learn more from example rather than what they are told.
If as parents and guardians, your children see you always doing the right thing, they are more likely to follow on your example. It's very easy to spot children with good family upbringing outside.
You can't give what you don't have. If you lack good character, you can't teach good morals.

Yes, it is human nature, there will be no way to eliminate corruption unless we lose consciousness. Teaching children not to be greedy and lie from a young age is only a small part because when they grow up, depending on what life circumstances will turn them into. living environment will be decisive, when you live in an environment where everyone is corrupt, you can't fight them alone, you will be eliminated immediately if you don't become like them. We all know people today live extremely pragmatic, without money will not be respected by everyone, including family members. So to have a world free of corruption, that's never going to happen.
In some countries, corruption is inborn. For example, in Nigeria, a child has become corrupt immediately he/she is born. Almost all aspect of the country is corrupt. We just blame our leaders for our corrupt society but parental role is highly needed to fight corruption in any country.

However, I believe that if the problem of corruption can be addressed at a young age, every country's degree of corruption will significantly decline in the near future.
Corrupt officials are those who have no morals and did not receive good teachings from their parents when they were young, so when they are faced with money and power, they consider it their personal property.However, I believe that if the problem of corruption can be addressed at a young age, every country's degree of corruption will significantly decline in the near future.
whatever it is, the first education that a child must receive is about morals and that must be done by parents. I always teach my children not to take the rights of others even though their lives are difficult and in poverty.
I believe 100%, a person can avoid corruption when they become high-ranking state officials, it is very influential on the education of their parents since they were small,
99% of state officials are likely to have carried out or supported corruption efforts going on around them. Corruption can happen without desire, I mean it happens directly without any planning. At this point, your formal education and the education you get from your parents may not play a role in preventing it because there must be a situation that requires you to commit corruption because of your friends, agency or position.I do not support corruption, but it always happens and is difficult to prevent anywhere when you are in government agencies. In third world countries, the percentage of corruption is definitely higher than developed countries and I believe that is true.
it's not that easy to abolish corruption in every country if the force of law is not strict about this corruption problem, there are many countries that don't have special punishments for corruptors sometimes (sorry) law enforcers can still be bought
but there is nothing wrong , if the younger generation is given an early education with consequences if corruption.
implemented, it will not all return to the individual
That's because corruption has existed for a long time and seems to be taught to the younger generation that corruption is common. And that is why it is very difficult to eradicate corruption because if the lowest level law enforcers are punished, those at the next level can still move and are still protected by the highest level.but there is nothing wrong , if the younger generation is given an early education with consequences if corruption.
implemented, it will not all return to the individual
But if the younger generation wants to uphold justice and is given a high position so that they can eradicate corruption, maybe it can be done. Still, we don't know how long it will take for corruption to be eradicated. For this reason, the younger generation needs an honest, brave, and responsible attitude and has the desire to eradicate corruption from the bottom to the top. And if more young people can do it, it may have a higher chance of fighting corruption.

Corruption occurs mostly in countries where there is weak law and order,
Where there is no accountability,
where there is no check and balance,
Where all the institutions and sectors are under influence of corrupt people.
Not really in my opinion, there are still many countries that have complete systems but there are still cases of corruption, which became a problem when the law was passed, but it was not implemented fairly after the corruption case was caught, so there is a perception that can outsmart the implementation of corruption cases.Where there is no accountability,
where there is no check and balance,
Where all the institutions and sectors are under influence of corrupt people.
Although it's true what you say has an impact on corruption cases and almost entirely the sector plays a bigger role.

In those countries it is extremely important to tell and educate the youngsters and children about this evil and problem of corruption so that they should save their country if needed and they should know difference between right and wrong.
Ethics and responsibility need to be taught as early as possible to children and the new generation, so that in the future they have the responsibility to maintain and eradicate corruption cases, if awareness of the new generation has grown, corruption cases will disappear little by little, because awareness not to do cases against the law has grown as something tough responsibility. In many nations around the world, corruption is a serious problem. It is regarded as a weapon of mass destruction that has greatly damaged several nations' public and private sectors.
Several of the factors that contribute to corruption are listed below:
(1) Government size and structure
(2) Political system and democracy
(3) Institutional quality
(4) Economic freedom/openness
(5) Civil service wages
(6) Justice system, press freedom, etc.
In addition to all of the aforementioned factors, I believe corruption in society can be combated at a young age. This means that students should be taught about the negative effects of corruption in society and how it may influence them in the future, outside of the classroom.
When I was a student in the university, I recall that some of my fellow students who were given leadership roles in school organizations embezzled thousands of money into their own pockets. By this, I mean that some of the expenses for improvements to the school that benefited all of us which was mandatory to be paid by every students. Imagine if they had been exposed to millions or billions of money instead of only thousands of it at the time when they embezzled the money, I’m sure they’ll still embezzle more.
Most times, people like that are frequently given the opportunity to serve the public in elected office. When exposed to public finances, a person with a history of embezzlement will always find a method to make off with large sums of money. Before becoming a fully corrupt leader, everything starts in school at an early age. At that point in their lives, a mature individual who has corruption ingrained in their system will find it difficult to let go of it.

Your ideas are really good, but who will teach them when greed still exists in schools. It can be said that corruption exists everywhere in the world, not only in the government so it is difficult to teach children about corruption even their teachers are corrupt.
It's a pity to talk about the current state of corruption in my country, if they go to school, don't take extra lessons, don't give gifts to their homeroom teachers, those students will be judged as average or weak and vice versa, students who take full extra lessons and have gifts on holidays will be good students of the school. As parents like us know it's a stain on the education industry as well as the government but we have no choice.

Don't get involved in government if you don't want to be corrupt. I even really believe that none of them are clean even though they have a high educational background. You may never commit corruption, but you find it difficult to prevent corruption and may have to support it simply because you have higher leadership.
It may be good to teach our children to have good leadership ethics in the future when they grow up, but really this is not an era that is free from the word corruption if you are in government. I really believe that nothing will work, unless they get out of there.
I guess, not all government officials are corrupt, there are still genuine government officials who don't involves themselves in a corrupt things in the organization than to use themselves as an example to other people to repent from corruption. Since many countries has seen what corruption has done to some countries that feel corruption is a good thing in the past, are now looking for way to delete it from their countries so that their unborn children will not experience corruption in the land.

At a very young age like? Not under 18 or the legal age because what would this be the impact to the kids? I think they wouldn't care at all even if you explain it to them that your government is corrupt but it must be taught if their age are now close to 18 because this was usually the age where a person can now place a vote. A proper vote can help eliminate the corrupt people to work on the government.
We should teach them that receiving a bribe money from a politician in exchange of voting them is wrong and this can be a sign that they are corrupt. Anyway topics like this about corruption are already being taught in schools if I am not mistaken. So don't worry.

Though it is good to be taught but never think they will follow it. Politics is even more powerful and could influence people.
As long as there are no strict law to punish those corrupt individuals, corruption won't be solved properly or even decline. The thing about corruption is people continues to tolerate it as long as it will benefit them also. They will do it even if it means troubling the people around them.
Which country does not regulate laws on corruption, it seems that almost the whole world has a rule of law on this issue, corruption occurs because of weak supervision and the attitude of someone who is dishonest, the implementation of the law is gray and cannot be translated by perpetrators and does not repeat corruption after being arrested and imprisoned.To prevent corruption requires the awareness of every individual involved in it, if you hope the law will solve it, then corruption cases are very difficult to eliminate.

Government size isn't inherently terrible as long as the government doesn't interfere with basic liberties and participants in the government don't use the office for personal gain. Of course, that's logic that would exist in a vacuum which doesn't account for real world factors. I'm generally for limited government and small government size because it reduces the tendency for a central authority to begin housing the authority for corruption.
(4) Economic freedom/openness
Most important on your list IMO. Authoritarianism/corruption is always about the money. Decentralized currencies would of course help with this issue.
However, I believe that if the problem of corruption can be addressed at a young age, every country's degree of corruption will significantly decline in the near future.

Corruption is something that you cannot address by just teaching people at young age or older age.
Corruption comes with the humane emotions of greed + lazyiness. These can be controlled only by discipline and that either comes from within or through punishment, sadly.
Having a higher up with strong morals about not accepting corrupt offers gives empowerment to the subordinate - still this is a very ideal scenario.
In most countries, not being corrupt or having an anti-corruption stance actually may bring more harm, because the people around you want to take bribes and favours and you are being a blockade on their path. You end up finding yourself in enmity with the rest of the staff just because you want to stay clean.
