Who Is Not Corrupt? by konjinus(m): 3:50pm On Aug 23, 2016
When we say a person is corrupt what do we mean? The word corruption has a very controversial meaning. Some define corruption as basically stealing, others see it as an attitude. However, the oxford English dictionary defines it as
willing to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain. Therefore we can combine the definitions as to from a general meaning to the word.

There are various forms of corruption as can be perceived from the meaning of the word itself. As discussed earlier, the driving force of this concept is selfish interest and dishonesty. It can be in the form of embezzlement or diversion of money, goods or services. It can also be a religious or social aspect as in denying a person an opportunity or the ‘spotlight’ on the basis of color, gender, race or religious background. Other forms of corruption may include disruption of a system that has provided equality so as to make some group of people suffer. So we say corruption is everywhere!

The effects of corruption can be felt in every aspect of life. This is because it disrupts the equality system. The effects of this evil act can include the following; poverty, crime, regression, destruction of life and properties, and even war!
Although the concept of corruption is a complex one, the solution is not. Since we have discovered the precursor to corruption to be a very little selfish desire, then we can control it. A selfish man is a corrupt man; same thing applies to a thief, a dishonest man, a liar, a murderer. If we don’t win corruption, corruption will win!
