Corruption is the big problem in many governments and the use of illegal manners and money stealing or using unfair methods of corruption make many countries in bad position that peoples are struggling in peace resistance to them.
corruption vary, but include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, parochialism, patronage, influence peddling, graft, and embezzlement. Corruption may facilitate criminal enterprise such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and human trafficking, though it is not restricted to these activities. Misuse of government power for other purposes, such as repression of political opponents and general police brutality, is also considered political corruption.
Over time, corruption has been defined differently. For example, in a simple context, while performing work for a government or as a representative, it is unethical to accept a gift. So why riots and peoples in many countries still resist?
Dear all,
Governments are in need to be well protected by democracy. Democracy should be a real one. If democracy itself is just in the constitution without any consideration to make it applicable as in the third world, the role of prottecting any country will be vanished though. Fighting corruption needs real democracy and real democracy will contain the main rules to eliminate corruption, I guss.
Very often the laws are not uniformly enforced with selective prosecution on the opposition by those in power. Corruption becomes endemic when people feel that they are protected from the law.
Dear Chung,you are absolutely right ,if the law and persons work under special party that its in the government then those are protected ,and even if thyey accused ,there are not neutral police or military to capture them ,therefore corruption is increased and continued,that why corruption in many countries continued,
Corruption is increased because there are different ways to escape from the follow up by court or criminal cause of launder ate money ,similar to drug commerce and Mafia of drugs .Now there are three gangs,1-political 2-drug smuggling 3-sex mafia.so that the money and use by politician to use their position to make false contracts and transfer illegal money to other persons
and financial crimes are a form of theft/larceny that occur when a person or entity takes money or property, or uses them in an illicit manner, with the intent to gain a benefit from it. These crimes typically involve some form of deceit, subterfuge or the abuse of a position of trust, which distinguishes them from common theft or robbery. In today's complex economy, fraud and financial crimes can take many forms. The resources below will introduce you to the more common forms of financial crimes, such as forgery, credit card fraud, embezzlement and money laundering.
If Europe get rid of interaction of religion with politics ,but in middle east .,religion interfere in politics and used as one mean for corruption .recently ,studies show this idea,
re is a growing interest in understanding how religion affects corruption. Many empirical studies have suggested that countries with strong hierarchical religions (such as Islam, Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity) are more likely to suffer from corruption. These results are, however, controversial, largely due to the lack of empirical validity of the causal (or theoretical) links that explain such a relationship: obedience to authority, negative culture reinforcement, amoral familism and trust intermediation. Using the fourth wave World Values Survey (n = 87,988) of 64 countries, this study constructed a general estimation equation model to evaluate these four causal links after controlling for heterogeneity of individuals’ religious beliefs among the 64 countries.
Recently corruption increases drastically due to many factors,these some causes, ses of corruption
- Greed of money, desires.
- Higher levels of market and political monopolization.
- Low levels of democracy, weak civil participation and low political transparency.
- Higher levels of bureaucracy and inefficient administrative structures.
- Low press freedom.
- Low economic freedom.
In some countries, the laws against corruption are so weak. And this leaves the corrupt with no fear since they can still move on whether the laws are there or not
Definitely, strategies to reduce corruption in governments vary from one country to another, as this problem is due, among other factors, to the education of the people and their values. These elements vary significantly between countries. If we set ourselves the goal of finding effective strategies to reduce corruption in Japan and Venezuela, we will surely find that the strategies are not equally effective in both nations, as the moral configuration of citizens and rulers is very contrasting.
In countries where morality and positive values are a priority in the actions of the whole society, the punishment vote against corrupt rulers could work. But in countries where this does not happen, corruption advances until it can permeate the armed forces and the various levels of government, so the vote could be manipulated. In that case there is little that society could do because its efforts to reduce corruption and defend freedom could be repressed militarily.
To reduce the corruption of governments, it is also necessary to work on the need for organizations such as the United Nations Organization and the Organization of American States to evolve into a condition in which their objectives are only discursive and publicized. One possibility is to eliminate them and create new organizations that respond with facts to the needs of today's human societies.
If a single government were achieved for the entire planet, if natural resources could be used sustainably, and the wealth produced by the land could be distributed equitably, corruption could probably be reduced due to corruption responds precisely to greed and ambitions of power and domination.
Dear friend ,you are right ,corruption is due to .lack of education ,less belonging to nationality effect of interferences of other countries.,and see these reasons ,
- Greed of money, desires.
- Higher levels of market and political monopolization.
- Low levels of democracy, weak civil participation and low political transparency.
- Higher levels of bureaucracy and inefficient administrative structures.
- Low press freedom.
- Low economic
There are various means of combating corruption- increased pay and condition of service, stringent rules and regulations, strong enforcement agencies, to institutional(structural) reforms, and to a great extent, behavior and cultural changes to mention but few.
Dear friend ,you are right as by improvement of the education and level of living by giving good sallary and good life ,no need for corruption ,but still in the well developed countries there will be corruption
Corruption exists in all societies big or small, developed or underdeveloped, and since time immemorial. What differs is the extent and under which circumstances corruption flourishes in these societies. In the developed countries, the institutions are usually stronger and more efficient, but many developed countries are haven for stolen money from other places and their governments connive with corrupt leaders....
5 Ways To Reduce Corruption
1.The first tool is ‘education’.
2.We need to change the government processes.
3. We can reduce corruption by increasing direct contact between government and the governed.
4. Lack of effective corruption treatment is another reason.
5. Lack of transparency and professional accountability is yet another big reason. We should be honest to ourselves. Until and unless we will not be honest, we can’t control corruption. If each of us is honest towards our profession, then corruption will automatically decrease. We need to pay attention towards professional accountability i.e., how much we are faithful and truthful towards our profession. Corruption may be controlled by handling five major professions: lekhpal, medical, revenue, police and judicial.
Dear friends ,In middle east country there are corruption ,like in Latin america ,but our corruptions are big ,millions are spoiled persons that used position and companies to transfer money outside country ,this is similar in many countries.
ost Arab countries in the Middle East and North Africa, with an average score of 39 on a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean, rank low in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) of 2018 with Libya, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen finding themselves at the very bottom. The United Arab Emirates, with a score of 70, leads the region and is way ahead of other Gulf countries.
According to the CPI, some countries in the region have shown slight improvement over the last four years, including Oman, from 45 to 52, Tunisia, from 38 to 43 and Morocco, from 36 to 43. Meanwhile, the ratings Lebanon, 28, and Iraq, 18, have essentially remained static over that period.
Those who studied the phenomenon of the Arab Spring agree that political corruption played a major role in building momentum against the ruling class. As people demand democratic reforms, transparency, good governance and rule of law, among others, it is political corruption, namely abuse of power and the pilfering of state resources that motivates them. The outcome of such abuse can be seen clearly in Lebanon and Iraq today: High unemployment rates, especially among the youth, high poverty rates, failing public services, especially health and social security and cronyism.

Corruption is increased in third world countries and Latin american,now days there are war against corruption.Now days there are riots and peoples going in streets and fighting against goverments in many countries to remove goverments.

Its now abig problem in reducing corruption ,because of the ways to escape from police and follow up by criminals .
Many societies and goverment seek to reduce corruption,but failed,because,
Corruption can grow in a variety of political and economic environments. It particularly thrives where accountable governance structures and processes are weak. However, weak governance does not necessarily always lead to corrupt acts – most people will still act honestly.
In Nigeria for example, you still have instances of corruption in institutions whose pay package and conditions of service are excellent. These may be a result of both human and structural problems such as greed, the periphery problem as well as kleptocracy to mention but few.
Dear umar, thankyoui,when education increases and justice prevailed ,then corruption decreased.But the percentage of corruption in western countries are less than less developed countries,such as Nigeria,see attached file

The first tool is ‘education’. With the help of education we can reduce corruption. According to a report by Transparency International,
Dear Mustafa, education is very important ,but it needs loyality to country ,or humanity and morality.
To reduce corruption we need to change the government processes. If the members of the governing body are government officials, there will certainly be less reports of the criminal cases. The reverse may be possible only when there are no more criminal politicians in our government.
Another reason to increase corruption is. Lack of transparency and professional accountability is yet another big reason. We should be honest to ourselves. Until and unless we will not be honest, we can’t control corruption. If each of us is honest towards our profession, then corruption will automatically decrease. We need to pay attention towards professional accountability i.e., how much we are faithful and truthful towards our profession. Corruption may be controlled by handling five major professions:
profession is that each person should be given what he deserve according to his carrier and profession .
Developing sense of collective responsibility and belonging.
