Corruption

Corruption refers to the abuse of power or position for personal gain, often manifesting in unethical behavior or practices within public or private institutions. It typically involves actions that undermine trust, integrity, and fairness, such as bribery, embezzlement, fraud, nepotism, and favoritism. Corruption can occur at various levels, from small-scale transactions to large systemic issues within governments or organizations. It erodes the rule of law, restricts economic development, and exacerbates social inequalities, ultimately weakening societal structures and institutions. The consequences of corruption can lead to a lack of accountability, diminished public services, and a general loss of faith in governance and authority. Addressing corruption is crucial for fostering transparent and accountable systems that promote justice and equality.
