In philosophical , theological, or moral
discussions, corruption is spiritual or moral
impurity or deviation from an ideal . Corruption
may include many activities including bribery and
embezzlement . Government, or 'political',
corruption occurs when an office-holder or
other governmental employee acts in an official
capacity for personal gain.
The word corrupt when used as an adjective
literally means "utterly broken". [1] The word
was first used by Aristotle and later by Cicero
who added the terms bribe and abandonment of
good habits. [2] Morris, [3] a professor of
politics, writes that corruption is the illegitimate
use of public power to benefit a private interest.
Economist I. Senior [4] defines corruption as an
action to (a) secretly provide (b) a good or a
service to a third party (c) so that he or she can
influence certain actions which (d) benefit the
corrupt, a third party, or both (e) in which the
corrupt agent has authority. Kauffman, [5] from
the World Bank extends the concept to include
'legal corruption' in which power is abused within
the confines of the law - as those with power
often have the ability to shape the law for their
protection.
