Brief Description

 “Corruption is one of the greatest challenges of the contemporary world. It undermines good
government, fundamentally distorts public policy, leads to the misallocation of resources,
harms the private sector and private sector development and particularly hurts the poor.”

 Corruption is the deliberate non-compliance with the concept of arm's length aimed at
gaining some benefit from this action for oneself or for related individuals.

 “Corruption is a disease, a cancer that eats the cultural, political, and economic aspect of the
society and it destroys the internals of the society and the lives of the people as well. Being
blinded by negative thoughts would result negative actions and it could harm the beauty of
the society”(Begovic, 2005).

Significance of the study
Corruption is one of the most major social problems that we
are facing right now. The importance of discussing this moral
problem are :
• To raise awareness of corruption to the students or to general public.
• To be educated about corruption.
• To know what are its harmful effects that causes the people to suffer
and what are the things that we should do to prevent corruption.
• To help us understand that governments, the private sector and civil
society will play a key role in the effort to stop corruption, whether we
work individually or together. By refusing to participate in illegal
activity that can have devastating effects on our society and world, we,
individuals too can help counter this global problem.

Conclusion:
In the conclusion, corruption has killed the opportunities of many people because corrupt
officials took the chance away. In this paper, there are 3 moral values that everyone should
possess and that is the value of fairness, integrity, and the self-discipline. In the value of
fairness, we have to be mindful with our actions and treat each other fairly because we are all
just humans. In the value of integrity, a leader should possess honesty because building the
trust of the people they lead will strengthen the relationship with the leader and its people.
Lastly in the value of discipline, disciplining yourself will lead you to discipline other people.
