Explore common types of corruption and find out what we can do to combat it and promote transparency in our institutions.
--
Corruption is often defined as misuse of a position of power for personal gain. And while corruption in politics is nothing new, it isn’t limited to the political sphere; it can happen in schools, sports, businesses, or religious institutions. So, what exactly is corruption, and what can we do to combat it? Stephanie Honchell Smith explores the importance of transparency in building public trust.

Thank you so much to those of you sharing examples of corruption in your own countries / communities. It makes it clear how pervasive this problem can be. But there is hope! [Spoiler] Corruption is not inevitable. It is the outcome of a series of choices. And it takes a series of choices to prevent it. We highly recommend visiting ed.ted.com/democracy-lab to learn about what role YOU can play in safeguarding democracy.

@topherthe11th23 Месяц назад

@@luyandzabavukiledlamini4693 : johnjohn's specific words were "allowed to run for office again". Johnjohn never said Zuma was running for the Presidency again. Furthermore, if Zuma is allowed to run for dog-catcher, the system is still broken. The nature of corruption in public office is that the likelihood of a false conviction is as close to zero as it can ever be. For that reason, I'd consider having a de'ath-pen'alty for public officials who are corrupt. Nobody deserves it more. On the other hand, even with the small odds a miscarriage might still be engineered. I mean, even if guilt is certain not beyond merely REASONABLE doubt but beyond ALL doubt, a person will be escorted from a cell to the exe'cut'ion-chamber. What if some clever prison-warden does a body-switch and the person who is taken from the cell to the chamber isn't ACTUALLY the corrupt public-official? This could be done in order to k'ill someone against whom the warden has a grudge, OR because the corrupt official has paid the warden to make the switch so that the corrupt official survives. So, maybe such a measure still has holes in it. But at the very least a corrupt public official should be locked up for 20 years. The cost to the taxpayer of locking them up for life (in a real prison designed to deter, not reform) is reduced if the term is only 20 years, not life. Then, upon release, the convict must be deprived of any and all conceivable benefits of membership in society, unable to vote, drive, be employed by any arm of government whatsoever (or any institution that receives government funding) serve on a jury, own anything the ownership of which is secured not by mere possession but by record-keeping (bank-accounts, real-estate, investment-securities, boats, cars, gu'ns), hold any license to practice a profession that requires a license, or attend any school that gets any government money whatsoever. Andy any re-offending would result in a life sentence.

@ekremvkilic 27 дней назад

One of the worst and mostly overlooked side effect of corruption is that people who do such things do not feel guilty, on the contrary, they feel themselves smart and cunning, they feel good, which motivates them to do more and worse. That's why corrupted people go bigger and bigger, do not keep the same pace to stay under the radar, and eventually are exposed enough to be noticed. Then, the public often shout "how do you sleep at night?" expecting or assuming that corrupted people have a hard time, but no, they sleep beautifully. So, standing up against them once or twice is not enough, it should be a constant battle

@kosmosXcannon 24 дня назад

To be fair the corrupted individual is right since they know they can get away with it. I think society has been conditioned to do nothing and try to work within the system. The same system that is rigged against them. The only way something might be done is to cause a legitimacy crisis. Another way is prevent these individuals from being able to isolate themselves from the public. If a lord lived in a castle town, they are incentivized to at least care about the people within that area. If they don't live near that area, they probably wouldn't bat an eye if it fell.

And Indonesia, often the most corrupted flaunt all their Fancy cars and luxury goods for everyone to see and even a blind man can tell they are using our collective tax money to fund their lifestyle. Yet, If we speak up there is a Law that allows them to jail anyone who "Slander" them. This included the media, so no one can do anything. 99.99% of our government are involved in corruption related behaviors, and enjoying every bit of it. Less than 5% of our tax money are being used to build the country, the rest are pocketed by everyone in the system.

@evgenyzak2035 2 дня назад

Another huge economic side effect. If a corrupted guy steals 10% of a fund, he is very busy to hide and organize it. As result the rest 90% are spent very inefficiently. Basically he steals 10%, but damages taxpayers for 50% for instance.

@OmnipotentPotato Месяц назад

As a child I didn't really understand or care for the impacts of corruption very much, even though it was heavily present where I'm from, and still is. But when I was about 16, I began to realize how deep corruption can affect each of us. As you said, it is not necessarily limited to governments, but also to other institutions such as schools. Our school was supported by another, larger school, but they operated in virtually the same manner. The larger school was much more expensive, so, to prevent people from flocking to our school since it could offer the same quality at a different price, they would only allow mediocre teachers and managers to apply, leading to a setback in many students' performances. This led to corruption on a lower level; the new managers they hired would frequently harrass any teacher that didn't support them or made statements against the larger school. Those teachers were usually the most caring and conscientious, and so would often leave the school. It was horrible and I felt so powerless when one of the teachers told me what was actually happening.

i agree with your observation but you really need to work on your metaphors... if you ask a human how's the air?" their reply is gonna meet your expectations, it won't be "what's air" even in the most underdeveloped nation. if you asked a fish "how's the water?" their reply, in all accuracy, will be "glub glub". the fishes would sooner ask "what is language" than "what's water" as if they know language, they would also for sure know water by then.

@00101001000000110011 You told them to work on their metaphors but then completely missed the point of the metaphor. Obviously fish can't talk. That's why it's a metaphor, it's not to be taken literally.

@00101001000000110011 Месяц назад

@@ProcyonNite i understood the point perfectly. but the same point could be made much better is all. how you missed this is beyond me... also, broken metaphors leave space open for misinterpretation, or ludicrous conclusions. hence the need for good ones. it's absolutely terrible in both philosophical terms and scientific landscapes alike to refuse criticism to your figure of speech that may have cracks just cus "hur dur its a figure of speech just get the point bro" as that hurts the dialogue instead of maintain or improve it.

@@Bacon2000. That could possibly have a multiple levels of consequence including monopolistic practices, not to mention capitalism is all about getting as much as possible for as little as possible. With regulations imposed by the government there is a level of control on how companies operate. Now if you want to really twist your perception, the problem actually comes in when companies and businesses make so much money that they can influence local and national regulations, laws, and policies that directly benefits companies at the cost of workers. This can take the form of corruption, and it's the easiest to point your finger at, but in reality the majority of these bad policies and poor leadership decisions come as result of bad faith Lobbyist groups who are essentially corporate mouth pieces feeding biased information to our representatives. This trend of bad policy and obvious negative influence has been happening over the course of 60+ years, it's viciously deteriorated public trust, the culture of the country, de-incentivised expanding public services and public infrastructure, failed the school system, decimated the middle class, widened the wealth gap and pushes people into generational poverty, stagnated wages, skyrocketed the cost of living, etc. etc. Business are too Over-Powered and have systematically taken over American culture, politics, and the ability to organize and point out the root of the problem. The government, while it may not sound like it, is our best chance to reign it in as far as average Americans being able to make quick and effective changes. Basically it should be: Government = WatchDog Companies = Knife Salesman Citizen = The person with the most say with the most value to give in any given situation Right now, currently it's: Government = Legislative Auction House where you can buy laws that creatively exploit people in general Companies = A machine designed to extrapolate as much money from its patrons and workers to then invest in other Machines.

@@Bacon2000. I'd say the opposite. Remove the corporations' power to influence the government. No lobbying, no creating fake interest groups. Though I'm not opposed to stop giving special benefits to corporations, but that comes with some problems. Giving benefits to some corporations that directly serve the people (like running a bus service or building affordable and sustainable homes) would help the general population more, as would aiding smaller companies to get some footing in businesses dominated by large corporations.

@Bacon2000. 21 день назад

@@AnotherDuck hmmm. Well I naturally ask how would you remove a corporations ability to give a congressman money/ a gift. IDK if you seem to understand the core of the issue. A congressman is invested in stocks so thus they wanna increase the price of the stock, so they will approve bills that benefit that company. Even if you remove the companies power to "influence" (what is influencing?) a congressman their are still dozens of ways congressman will make subsidies based on their own self interest. So just make them unable to subside companies. Or benefit/disadvantage any company.

"Good luck with that." I believe *some* corruption, whether in concessions, backroom deals and such, is unavoidable to gain a position of power.

Finally! A worthwhile video explaining a common, prevalent problem in third-world countries - korupsi! I thought it was just us here in Indonesia (glaring at disciplined neighbors Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei), but apparently it is also in Brazil? I saw once Progresso Corrupto somewhere or what, I forgot

Incredible insights into corruption, spanning from its historical origins to its modern manifestations. Goes to show how, in spite of its apparent ubiquity, brave individuals like Jonas make a stand. Furthermore, it reassures that through transparency, civic engagement, and even legislative action, we can surely work towards mitigating such exploitative practices.

A few corrupt wealthy elites shouldn’t own and control the means of production, distribution and exchange. Workers make the world run, workers should run the world.💙🌎🏴.

If governments were to be a direct democracy (which I’m assuming is what you are saying), then there would be loads more problems, because people with extreme views would pass extreme laws and it would probably be chaos. Which is why most western countries have a republic (as opposed to a direct democracy) as their government, where the people have a say of who is in power and will hopefully choose someone who, in theory, will do what’s best for the people. And while a republic government will mean there is some corruption, there is certainly a lot less corruption in them than in a dictatorship and there is way more stability in republics than a direct democracy. So basically there’s a balance of pros and cons that have to be considered, and a when push comes to shove, a republic government does a pretty darn good job. So now it’s just about making sure we stay involved in our governments and use your vote in them to make sure you see the changes you want to see!

@ThePursuitWOD If a view is extreme, then by definition, not many would support it.

@@jorenvanderark3567 that’s not how political extremes work

@ThePursuitWOD Месяц назад

@@jorenvanderark3567 right, but the problem is that the people who have the most extreme views are also the most likely to vote in a direct democracy. So unless voting is made completely mandatory, the extreme laws would be passed. But if you were to make voting mandatory then there would be the problem that no beneficial laws get passed because no individual person voting can ever be educated enough on every single issue in order to make a good votes. Which is why again, republic governments are what modern western countries have settled with because in a republic, the politician you vote for should theoretically spend all their time studying law and ethics in order to pass the best most unbiased laws for society as a whole. Of course republics aren’t perfect at doing that in practice, but then again no government is perfect and I would prefer living in a republic.
