Topic: New ways to fight corruption - page 4. (Read 780 times)

I'm taking action in my own small world. If you know a bigger group that have the same idea in mind I would love to join.
For many years I was all about transparency but I'm afraid the only way to reduce corruption is to reduce transparency, specially when it comes to people in power.
 

Honestly, it is unfortunate that the corruption is very widespread in the entire world and it is one of the biggest problems in this era. As well , it exists in most fields and this has caused economic problems in many countries ( especially   the poorest ones ) and delayed in the culture of many of them( particularly in Africa and Asia ).

On the other hand, the ideas must be implemented through actions rather than providing solutions only.
I guess that there are many ways to fight this corruption and it will be as this following:
Trying to reduce the proportion of bribery because it is very high in some countries.
Many fields must be monitored in the whole society, and all laws against corruption should be implemented and must punish those who resort the corruption to achieve their goals.

I think that corruption can not be defeated. Corruption is inherent in human nature and as soon as a person has such a possibility, be sure that he will use it.

Very great speech to be honest. But I am sorry to tell you that being optimistic and positive for too long will get you nowhere. Those people already have power. If you want to surpass a monster, you should be a stronger monster. That means if you want to take corrupted people down, you should become corrupted too.

We have been taught since we were kids that good would win in the end. But when you relate it to the reality, you find that evil is always winning and there is no end to it. Mankind has already lost to their greed and selfishness. Everything is gone...

Unfortunately most of people in this world still use fiat. Most of fiat transactions are not recorded. All cryptocurrency transactions are recorded so people alwqys able to see where the money go. It is impossible to fight corruption alone. You have to unite with many people, in my country there is an independent institution that oversee the use of state money. The official institution also exist. But against the corrupters is not an easy job. They can make terrible conspiracy.

I know it's wrong but in some countries the situation is so extreme that perhaps you need to do whatever it takes.
I was just throwing ideas in hope that someone really smart will read them and perhaps come up with a much better plan.

Wouldn't this be a form of corruption as well? Giving out money isn't always the solution to a problem - especially to corruption. A country isn't corrupt just because it is poor. It all boils down to the system and the morals of a person. Even with all the riches in the world, a country still become corrupt. Offering money to the police so that they won't silence protests or make sure that there is no unnecessary violence in the streets won't guarantee good results; the police may just choose to pocket this money and a clear practice of most politicians.

This thread needs to move to off-topic discussion.. It should not be in Project Development.. 

Today, the problem of corruption is extremely important and urgent in the political, economic and social life of both Russia and the whole world. Each of us knows what it is, and perhaps many have already experienced bribery in practice. The fact is that corruption exists in almost all spheres of society, it manifests itself in a variety of forms and types.

When it come to corruption no one is left out and there no better to fight ccorrruption than to start at home because charity begin at home. However, this thread ought to be posted in the Politic and Society section not here.

Key ingredients to fight corruption, Government must promote transparency and access to information, Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long tradition of government openness, freedom of the press, Transparency and access to information. Access to information increases the responsiveness of government bodies, While simultaneously having a positive effect on the levels of public participation in a country.

Yes you have spoken well, Surely transparency and accountability at all levels should form part of the response? If the citizenry and the media can't tell what's happening, how are they to expect more sources of corruption? There should be an enforcement of rules and regulations, but only if they work. Building strong, transparent, accountable institutions that citizens can trust is surely crucial, and trust is the foundation of legitimacy.

Unfortunately corruption is endemic world wide and not limited to under-developed countries. In the UK give enough to the governing party and you get a knighthood or similar; and of course if you are in a good job in government and you retire or loose your seat then you get a nice well paid directorship.

Hopefully one day a universal decentralised currency like Bitcoin will take the power back to the people. 

It bothers me a lot so I had to let it out.
I don't need to explain how much corrupt goverments hurt the entire planet.
I want to figure out how to bring down corrupt governments efficiently.

I'll write down few steps, not necessarily in the right order, some of them are bad, obvious, unrealistic but nevertheless...

One of the major problems is that poor people can't afford standing in protests all day because they will lose their job and put their family at risk.
To solve that problem, the leaders will have to supply them with enough funds.

Find passionate leaders and educate them how to efficiently chose who needs to get paid.
Teach them how not to get caught by the government and make sure they teach the protesters.

Contact the businesses of the protesters and let them know about the upcoming long protests.
Offer a reasonable amount of money if they disagree to let their employees protest as long as needed.

Possibly offer money to the corrupt businesses that will try to help the corrupt government.

Possibly educate the police and offer them money not to participate in silencing the protests but to make sure there is no unnecessary violence on the streets.

Make sure there is enough food to keep the protesters strong.

Identify the weakest points of the corrupt leaders, for example try to bring their family or at least friends to go against the corrupt leaders.

Perhaps combine the blockchain ideas that "aidcoin" uses to make the donations transparent to minimize the money loss to thieves.

I'm not smart enough to do it myself but if it reaches the right people they will figure out how to make it work.

If scam coins are raising 8-9 figures then a cryptocurrency that supposed to fight corruption should earn at least something.
I was born in a country with a very cruel dictator in power, this subject is very close to my heart but i'm far from smart enough to do something about it but if you do then please.
for the love of mankind, do something to stop those people abusing their power.
