Topic: Is every country really corrupt? - page 11. (Read 3093 times)

Corrupt undermines a country like cancer undermining the human body, while terrorists and rebels blatantly look like viruses entering the human body. A country full of corrupt will eventually collapse also because of running out of life. Corrupt are like the scapegoat in the family, who spends all the family possessions that cause the children, parents, and close relatives to be stranded. The family waits for its destruction.

Well I can say yes, because in every country there will be a corrupt one. Whether we like in or not there are corrupt people that staying inside the government, they are existing. As much as we want to have a good an honest government or officials, there will be. Because we are talking about money, and money is the root of evil.

we are all human beings, we are not angels
we make mistakes, we are greeedy, so there is a percentage
that some will be corrupt.

so therefore every country will have some people with corrupt minds, its a must have

Even the religious country still have corrupt leaders thou it is limited in some countries but there is atom of corruption in every state.

The more educated a country is, that much lower will be the corruption. Still I would not say there is a country which is 100% free from corruption. But then you need to measure relatively. Countries such  as Japan are significantly less corrupt that the third world nations such as India and Pakistan.

I guess in every countries I believed there is a corrupt people in each government, and those people are the one who is seated which I mean the officials but not all of them. But now here in my country I think corrupt officials now are few left since our President now are very good in leading his nation.

I think were just in the same boat. Our country also have a corrupt politicians. That's why our country is so slow in progressing because of them.

Yep, some very openly others more secretly, no country is corruption free. Human nature being what it is corruption will never go away.

I absolutely can say that every country is corrupt. Some countries are more corrupt than the others while others is less. But still there is corruption.

Corruption is in the countries which continue to be shaken by open conflict and have catastrophic levels of poverty and inequality.

Last year it was reported that corruption is widespread in 68% of countries around the world.

No country can boast a complete lack of corruption, but in some countries it is significantly more tangible.

We cant say that every country is corrupt. Correction is most of the politician has a will to gain on their own wallet. They confusing people on their personal appearance but they have a diffirent adjenda that giving effect to country. They give bad impression.to country.

Not all countries are corrupt, It really depends on the politicians that choose to corrupt instead of serving politely to the country.

in my opinion ...this is true, unfortunately..and I can't  imagine how it can be changed..corruption exists all over the world and it's been created for so long and everyone is so used to living...and even if you don't know about corruption in your country it will exist... nothing actually changes... it woll  be hard and nearly impossible to find a way out of the situation..

I don't think so but probably in every country you can find a lot of persons that corrupted and don't care about others. At my opinion the only way to stop this is monarchy.

less than 1%? You must be Joke!

In short, because at a certain point power moves you from a negative feedback loop to a positive one.
--------
Humans are social animals. We survive very badly as individuals or family groups, quite well as villages or tribes, and even better as cities or small nations. To operate as an effective society, you have to be nice to each other, it can’t be relentless competition and thinly veiled distrust.

But, at the same time, humans are naturally competitive. Each one wants to be more powerful than the others. Why? Who knows, possibly there’s an evolutionary advantage, possibly not, that’s another question.

Luckily these two desires work against each other. Every 5 year old finds out that demanding everyone plays their game soon means they get ignored and no-one plays with them. Things that give you influence in a society also have a high risk of making you disliked, causing that influence to wane. Our desire to be part of a society limits our desire to control that society. But, at a certain point that stops.

Once you have a sufficient amount of power (be it wealth, political power, whatever), you can actually afford to have large numbers of people dislike you, in return for having small numbers of other powerful people like you - or at least tolerate you for their own ends. Once you get caught in this positive feedback loop, maintaining power (rather than being liked) becomes a pyramid scheme. Corruption is the breaking of social contracts - i.e. being not nice. Legality isn’t the point here. Whether you are bribing someone or just shouting at them, you’re being not nice, and you’re getting away with it because of your power.

Eventually, the powerful become entirely separated from their old society, and now exist in a new, smaller society of people like them, who are also corrupt, thus establishing it as an acceptable behaviour, and the cycle continues.

This is why many societies have forced limits on the accumulation of power. Limits on terms in political office. Anti-monopoly laws. Taxes that penalise the accumulation of very large amounts of wealth. These work to brake the positive feedback (or snowball effect) of power.

in my opinion all the countries of the world are corrupt. The price is different for each country. But the world is ruled by money, as it is not sad.

Interesting thing about our country is that everyone thinks that corruption is their fundamental right or they do corruption as their fundamental right. Also say that everyone is doing corruption why I cannot do that. From lower level to upper level everyone is busy in corruption according to this formula.

yes. only difference is the dimensions of it.
