How are Ethics and Corruption related?


Corruption may involve money, power or influence, and can occur within both government and the private sector.



Corruption allows people in powerful positions to trample on the rights of people who are not in positions of influence.



Although corruption is difficult to define and deal with, there is one simple fact. When people ignore their moral values and try to gain favour without earning it, corruption will continue to negatively influence society.



Cronyism nearly always leads to corruption.



Simply respecting moral values like: honesty, integrity, justice and pride will go a long way to solving the problem of corruption.
