But a culture of corruption can trigger further corruption and that can be contagious. <br />The reasons for corruption are two fold:<br />1) Systems which are marred by legal and procedural complexities and those that demand strict compliance create within itself opportunities to flout the rules as there are many takers for shortcuts<br /><br />2) There is very poor enforcement system and there is less stigma associated with corruption as compared to other crimes.<br /><br />Corruption, though can't be wiped off totally, can be controlled through transparent procedures and strict punishments. <br /><br />Corruption is generally associated with the government and public sector. But the extent of corruption in the corporate and private sectors are unimaginable!sibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419580767377767200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818941414705345410.post-13257256337108242772011-04-19T00:36:38.441+05:302011-04-19T00:36:38.441+05:301.

Corruption affects the culture of the state..dont quite thinkit is culture sensitivecoz i beleive morals r personal in nature<br /><br />2. since corruptionhas to do with morals and integrity,i think religion has noplace there.<br /><br />3. increase in salary of public servants..nowif it is the likeof police offiecrs,public prosecutors..esponeson the lower grade i agree.<br />with politicians it is greed and more greed. that is a curse. no cure.<br /><br />4. best solution? people power.peole must say no. strict action against the most corrupt/<br />more peoplemust mediate and relise they will die soemday..the fact that u will die, can reduce greed i think.i dont think politicians fear death...<br /><br />5.. sadly no..as long as humans live,and power system is in place.. greed and jealousy shall remain..it can be minimalised not eradicated.<br />power definitely corrupts..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563561658427232203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818941414705345410.post-83190373211620537002011-04-18T21:02:44.385+05:302011-04-18T21:02:44.385+05:301. Do you think corruption is culture sensitive?
...1. Do you think corruption is culture sensitive?<br /><br />no...i think it is dependent on income inequality...more inequality more corruption.<br /><br />1.1 If yes, then has corruption become a part of the Indian culture?<br />culture does not create corruption...but corruption influences culture...and it has definitely influenced ours...<br /><br /><br />2. Does religion have anything to do with corruption? I don't mean a particular religion being more corrupt but rather a religious person being more corrupt than a non- religious?<br />yes...'religion' is not the cause but can act as catalyst where there is inequality<br /><br />2.1 Is religion just a cover for our black/dirty money? Think Tirupati and the crores spent there.<br />earlier i mentioned religion in quotes...it dependes on how you define religion..religion is basically a way of life...if u associate it with a particular faith then yes it can be a cover<br /><br />3. Would increasing the salaries of our public servants solve the problem of corruption? Are they underpaid? Is that the cause of our corruption?<br />might help...we need more transparent law...and more 'proper'education/awareness amongst masses<br /><br />4. What is the best solution for corruption?<br /><br />proper education of mass (long term solution)...better laws (mid term)<br /><br />5. Can corruption ever be totally and completely eradicated?<br />no...come on...we r human beings :-)...<br /><br />hope that helps...<br /><br />cheers!<br />SUBSubhrashis Adhikarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925822796440985088noreply@blogger.com
