Today's crunch issue :
Corruption:
Now what is meant by corruption?I think everybody will be familiar with this term.If not in English than with in there language.Corruption is a very common term and it is found from the prehistoric history in different nations,languages and religion.Corruption mean spiritual or moral impurity or deviation from an ideal. In economy, corruption is payment for services or material which the recipient is not due, under law.
corruption is a global issue |
corruption issue-global issue |
Now if somebody does not understand English he will understand from the picture that i am talking about corruption.Corruption is a very big issue for the world because corruption creates immorality,injustice and could destroy nations.When we study the history we saw corruption is cause of downfall of many nations.I live in Pakistan which was part of the sub-continent and when i study the mughal's history( they ruled the sub-continent for thousands of year) than they had to face a very big downfall and a main cause of their downfall which i understand is corruption because a lot of black sheep were in their own house.
But today their are no kingdoms,kings,queens e.t.c.Today politics play a major role in running a country system.Politics mean"majority is authority" but still today their is a lot of corruption all across the world weather they are developed or undeveloped countries.But it's is more in the underdeveloped countries.
The major cause of corruption is poverty and injustice.That is why under develop countries has higher corruption rate than the developed countries.
Now the question is how corruption should be stop.Their is a very simple rule of stopping the corruption.
The government should provide job opportunities to every person.In this way poverty will be in control and the people will not have any need to do corruption.the government institutions should work properly and with honesty.Justice should be cheap and should be provide to every one without any discrimination.And the very important thing is that people should not be greedy and should care about the whole society and this thing can be done by educating people.
