Topic: Corruption Should Be Taught From Young Age - page 9. (Read 1758 times)

Corruption is part of human nature, why do I say that, because the root of corruption is greed. And we certainly realize that greed is a trait that everyone has. Instead of eradicating from a young age, I even see that corruption has been carried out since a young age. I often see schoolchildren who lie to get more pocket money, that is the forerunner of corruption. Actually the dangers of corruption have been taught at the age of education, but that is not enough.
If we look deeper, the people who commit corruption are people who are highly educated and even know all the laws. But does that make them aware? the answer is no. It's basically their morals that have been destroyed.
Moral education is important to be applied at a young age, because it is the basis.

Corruption will not exist if humans are replaced with robots because only robots cannot corrupt. Humans are weak, short memory, easily confused, tired quickly and can not be separated from likes and dislikes.
and even if it's just time corruption such as taking longer lunches or information corruption because they don't provide complete information or queue corruption or rule corruption, humans must have been corrupted in their lives even if only once.
in small things, without realizing it we all have also done corruption, so that even small things can happen, let alone big things. because corruption will not be eradicated 100% in any country because we do not know it accurately even though it is very strict.

If the penalty is heavy enough, people will be more careful with their actions.
However, even if the government has certain penalties, most of the time, they are lenient about its implementation.
Hence, people have the notion to just do their stuffs, as you said, business as usual for them.
So to address this long-running problem, in my opinion, it is the combination of self-discipline and tough implementation of the laws.
A good example is in Japan, if the person himself feels he did something wrong, he will punish his own to the point of killing himself.
I don't think many nationalities have the same outlook when it comes to wrongdoings and how they punish themselves.

Globally, corruption is one of the main problems facing leaders and their governments when it comes to development. Even though money, greed, and power are spread unequally around the world.

The solution to a problem like this story in the end is money. The government should pay its workers well so that they can live comfortably and be grateful to their organization. If a country has problems with corruption, it means that the living conditions of its people are very bad. This is most evident in third-world countries where many developing countries suffer from high poverty rates and low government salaries.

The government should stop this problem by using solutions such as increasing the salaries of all civil servants, including police and judges, to control corruption effectively and instill public confidence in the system. I believe we will begin to see a decline in the most common forms of corruption.

Make people able to recognise corrupt practices because some corrupt practice has been made normal that some people having trouble understanding such are corrupt practices.
Also introduce a heavy punishment for anyone who is found guilty of any corruption regardless of position or status. Many politicians and affluent people consider themselves untouchable so they mostly get away with whatever corruption they engage in.
Teaching it in school alone won't change anything when there is to strict ways to handle the situation. It will be business as usual for them.

In North Korea, the creator of the law is quite heavy, from the very beginning in terms of overcoming the disease and preparing the drug. A country will not be spared from corrupt activities, other than becoming blood when the need is high. Government officials tend to commit corruption, supported by light punishments in the country, making it seem as if they will operate freely. It is enough to bribe the authorities and give them a percentage of the profits and everything will be silent.

No school teaches to do anything negative but the implementation of corruption is rooted in the effort to prepare for something. Corruption has existed since time immemorial, the current and former concept is the media in exposing these activities. So we are limited to understanding how much corruption is born from greed. Not based on school education, because schools have only existed since the Middle Ages.

The solution to minimize corruption that we currently see is of course a criminal law regulation where corruptors are sentenced to life or death. In fact, every country is reluctant to implement it on the grounds of human rights, on the contrary when compared to the loss of a corruptor has killed a starving soul due to his actions.

I think every problem will always be about how a particular person grows up because usually what he does in the present reflects on what he learned during his childhood. There is also a factor in which people tend to do “what they think” they deserve or the necessary stuff because of what they have experienced. Especially those who have felt unfair with their situation. They would want the easy way out, usually, so they tend to be corrupt when they are put in a position of power.

What’s more, the people are electing people who don’t have the credibility to lead and tend to be corrupt.

Corruption cannot be prevented if there is no strong legal basis to prevent corrupt actors from doing so. if only anti-corruption education will not have a significant effect on youth.
idealists formed in anti-corruption socialization or education will disappear if faced with attractive offers, especially if there are no strict sanctions for the perpetrators of corruption.
I think that the establishment of a firm and strong legal basis that must be made first, for example, the death penalty, exile, impoverishment of his family, and others, I think is enough for people not to commit corruption.
if only preventive measures are carried out without any punishment that makes the perpetrators of corruption deterrent, all prevention movements will only waste time and budget.

Highly disagree, even if corruption will be addressed at a young age or on school, which is already the case, it will never be fully erased or resolved. Just as you've mentioned, corruption affects to much of the sectors of each country's society. For me, corruption is already embedded to every and each individual society and government. It's like a matter about what is right and wrong whereas people will often think and do the right thing but will have second thoughts about the wrong thing especially if it will be beneficial to them.

I think it's all about permissiveness. Very tough and strict laws are needed to prevent corruption. If some thieves' hands are cut off in public, and others are even sentenced to death, then surely others will think about whether it is worth taking what does not belong to them. A lot of democracy leads to the fact that people are no longer afraid. They begin to feel immortal, realizing that everything and everywhere can be bought and negotiated. 
Look at the laws in China. In order for people to become humane, they need very strict laws.

There are so many subjects in both primary and secondary schools that teach about the negative consequences of corruption. Our children are ex[posed to subjects like social studies, citizenship education, and religious studies. But the world is gradually losing its value system. Our society celebrates criminals and dishonors men of integrity. Our society never questions the source of wealth of the rich rather they are idolized and worshipped. If you are a government official and you don't have expensive cars and estates, people would mock you for refusing to steal.  

Even if parents instill the right value or attitudes in their children, society would still fight to erase them and put them on the wrong path. But parents must not stop behaving how they want their children to behave. Our children should be guided and closely watched to ensure that unacceptable behavior is identified early and corrected. Most parents don't spend time with their children because of their work or other engagements, this might be challenging in the future.  

I think strong ethics classes at school could help with not engaging in corruption, especially big-time corruption. It's important to set some values, principles that would make people understand how deeply wrong corruption is and why they should not engage in it. IMO, though, it's also very important to make the classes viable for everyday life, and that depends on a country. Many things which could be considered corruption are just a norm in some countries and must be changed on structural level. But wherever it is possible not to bribe, this should be the go-to option. Also, there should be things a person decides not to take part in even if that can cost a job or something (such as privatization of taxpayers' money, trying to profit on social projects, wherever lives will be harmed from activities etc.). It's important to change the culture itself, to make it very shameful rather than totally fine to steal like that.

Children are silent and observant, they pick up ideas and attitudes displayed around them easily. Teaching without setting an example to be less corrupt will still fall out on deaf ears. That's why it is always advised to be mindful of what to say or do around kids.

We are living in a country corruption has eaten deep into, it will be impossible to get it uprooted due to the happening in society. Corruption has taken us to a point where for you to attain any level of success, you must surely encounter corrupt practices either in politics, education, business, exams and so on. That's to tell you deep corrupt practices have gotten to.

The only way I think will be good to stay above corruption is to set a standard of living for yourself. Learn to be content with what you have.

Actually, without being taught at school or since a young age humans have 2 more dominant traits, namely bad or good nature, the family is the first school for children so that what he gets in the first school will shape the character until he is an adult.

The problem is that truth and lies will never be known in the first place until there is more valid evidence on everyone. So this is what needs to be confirmed first because those who are eyeing a seat in the government are those who promise in their mouths to improve the country and prosper the people, but to make this happen it is clear that proof is needed. Because it will reflect whether the person is lying or honest.

Corruption is an enemy of everyone and is like being taught from an early age, early education must instill moral values that can make honest characters, even I agree that honesty is the most important thing to judge someone decent or not occupy positions in government.

This is about Morals and the source of the problem is because of the bad nature that exists in humans themselves. which begins with greed, and the impact of this greed can weaken the sense of caring for others. which results in actions that are beyond human morality. because those who are greedy do not really care about the impact of their actions that will harm others. and the evidence is that the government is corrupt and this has affected thousands and even hundreds of thousands of its people due to acts of corruption committed by that person. I doubt that people who commit corruption still have a high sense of caring for others. They become selfish and only selfish without caring about their actions have harmed many people. then it is appropriate for a corruptor to be called an immoral person. because he couldn't control his greed.

so I think the effort that can be done to eradicate corruption from an early age is to teach more about Moral itself from an early age. Teach our children the importance of being a moral person. starting with teaching a sense of caring for others by always sharing goodness in the form of services or materials. starting with relatives and neighbors.
and we as parents must be an example for our children to follow.

Moral is something that needs to be built from an early age. and a moral person usually he will be more able to care about the surrounding environment. he was used to living honestly. and obey the rules. and always be compassionate and share love with others. he is always willing to help without expecting anything in return. because he realized that humans are born to need each other and must help each other. because someday he too will need help. a moral person prefers not to be concerned only with himself. he will act carefully in every job so as not to harm others.
if this attitude is embedded in a person, then of course he will stay away from things that harm others, such as corruption, one of them.

but cultivating a moral attitude in today's environment is a difficult thing. because the attitude of individualism has been firmly attached in today's society. sometimes even in urban residential areas, we don't even know our neighbors well. we live alone in the crowd of people. and this kind of attitude is very prone to falling into the loss of caring for others and making selfishness superior to us. so that when we don't care about each other, doing corruption will feel like a normal thing and commonplace. and even the guilt fades away. and feel that everyone would do the same if they were in the same position.

maybe it is the initial stage of preventing corruption,
but it does not rule out the possibility that even educated people can commit corruption.

it can't be denied that in humans there is such a thing as greed, and that's normal because it's human,
but if that greed continues, will it be good? certainly not,
therefore the most important thing to be taught to humans is sympathy for others so that people can look in the mirror,
and the most important thing for me religious people, is to fear the almighty,
because corruption is a disgraceful act, it must be remembered, all of that there will be accountability later.

That’s really bad idea. Know why? With this strategy we may teach our kids or future generation that corruption is part of our society and there exists something like this, a way using which one can go way around something and reach the destination quickly. Whether it’s bribing to or taking bribe from its same crime and could lead to bad ideas on the young minds.

We may teach them how to go against it but in the process it will teach them why it’s done, how it’s done and may start growing that foul seed on their minds.

This is why educational subjects, topics in those subject and much more is carefully screened before putting them into the syllabus.

What you grow is what you get back.

Do you think there's no non-profit business or volunteer who cooperate with school to launch a seminar about corruption, alcohol, drugs, smoking, sex etc? It has been taught from the young age, but why this matters still arise? this mean those seminars still not helping too much to raise the awareness of these matters. It's too many factors that's make people are still did that and the reason may vary from each person to other person.

But mostly the reason is about money which mean the government should solve the matters about income distribution on their countries, because the gap between rich and poor people are really far.
