I agree...corruption is a serious problem...im from the worlds most corrupted country for the last 5 years..according to transperancy international..datz right..im from bangladesh!\n\nthe thing is...corruption can never ever be eliminated, it has been there from the earliest of civilizations, from the senators of the Roman Empire to the very present. All we can do is fight against it, as a united front. We have movements against AIDs, Millenium Development Goals to reduce poverty, fight aginst malaria, yet none of these wil ever be won if the fight agains corruption is not won....I cant suggest any clear cut solution dat can solve the prob, if i could, i wouldnt be sitting here...but i believe that if we..those who believe that it should be stopped (and theres a fair amount in our group i can tell u)..then we should take united actions against it....have protests, nationwide boycotts until the corrupted are brought down...it woulndt be easy..but if we all are united....we will definately not fall....

Eliminate corruption and politicians. Put taxes to legitimate use.  It's a simple formula but i think it will work.

Take as many cellphone photoes as possible and post them on the internet and put the whole nation to shame - some action would start to tricle down and soon everything will be neutarlized and only truth shall prevail.\n\nYou did not get freedom, if you did not ask for, if you did not demand it, if you did not fight for it.\n\nThere is nothing different in eliminating corruption and cheating - unless the public as a whole demands it, it would not happen.\n\nOffices in power are fabricating very cunning moneymaking schemes - privately and in government when nobody is challenging the justifications for the fee structure etc.\n\nWhat goes around, comes around - is an example where the contaminated or impure medications are delivered back to the minister's son who may have taken a bribe to approve it in the first place.\n\nWhere is India's motto - Styamev Jayte - Truth shall prevail.

Yes, I am disturbed. Why must we be the world problem solver, Clean up crew, Peacekeeper. We send aid to countries that do not appreciate it, in fact abuse it thru corruption. We willingly produce a huge trade deficit sending commerce to governments that are not democratic,that are guilty of massive human rights abuses that produce products so cheaply they are destroying our own manufacturing industries. I think that if we used our resources at home to become independant, we could "take our ball and go home". The world would then deal with us on our terms, not theirs. Let them reform their governments, solve their own border issues, come to our shores with their hat in their hand, and we'll resume feeding the world. We have too much to offer the world and we value it too little.

It is difficult to measure levels of corruption. There is no scale that I know of such as the Richter Scale for earth quakes. However, I can't recall a more corrupt administration and I have been around for a long time. But, whether there was or wasn't, there is certainly no excuse for what is going on right now. We should send them all home (or to jail) today.

Greed and corruption.

since there are NO governments that are all saints and angels then yes there is corruption. Maybe the first thing president Vicente Fox should do is make sure that most of his citizens can find a job in mexico.

Corruption is a way of life.  It goes back to the first time someone needed a favor.  Try not to get caught, don't take advantage of the mentally challenged and uhhh...remember to eat your vegetables.

Oh, the irony...\n\nIt depends on what your focus is - corruption is a fairly broad topic.  Are you analyzing it or making a judgment on it?\n\nOkay, regardless, here's something broad:\n"Although certainly not a unique product of our time, a culture corruption existing today has become clearly evident in the arenas of [wherever you're discussing].  This trend is inarguably dangerous, both in practice and in its larger effects. [If you're talking about how to stem it, throw in a summary of that here.]"\n\nI wouldn't be helping you out except I know how it feels to be on deadline.  Good luck!

"If everybody stands together"...\n\nNow THAT'S the problem, because people are self-centred by nature and WON'T stand together to eradicate corruption :p\n\nFor example, you're a police officer investigation corruption. If the person you're investigating finds you out and whispers: "hey buddy, you get a 30% share of the profits, so shut up about us, okay?"... What would you do? Maybe you'd uphold your morality and get yourself into big trouble, but most people would just go along with the dirty business...\n\nI know, human nature is sad, but that's just the way it is!\n\nOilfield writes: "We just need to be harsher on people who are corrupt."\n\nMy Reply: No matter of laws or harsh penalties can stem corruption. The penalty for corruption in China is death, but guess what, 70% of the local government officials there are corrupt!\n\nebk1974 writes: "If every deal and every monetary exchange made was forced to be done in the open for all to see and was in conjunction with a strict accounting that was also open to scrutiny, that would make corruption virtually impossible."\n\nMy Reply: You can set laws, you can force people with a whip to do things in the open... but people will still find ways to hide in dark corners and escape from the law.

I would have to say no. A lot of the things they do are there to help us, and a lot do. But then there are a lot of things that don't. We need a change in this country. A reform. Maybe a revolution. The corrupted needs to be cleaned up.

Corruption exists among politicians and in the higher echelons of power because common people at the grassroot level are corrupt.Afterall who are politicians?They are elected from the common people.They are no aliens.Therefore if we have to clear corruption from our society we have to see to it that we do not promote corruption in the smallest form in any walk of our life.We all are part of the problem.Therefore the problem will be solved only if we become a part of the solution.

well corruption i agree is a problem which india today but then who isnt facing this problem.\n\nits just that in other country they take a more sophisticated "avtaar"(look).\n\nbut saying that i cant shy away from the fact that india remains one of the most corrupt countries of the world.\n\n\none way to reduce can be first by instilling fear of the law in the minds of government servants so that they think twice before asking for bribe.  for this the investigation agency have to pull up their socks as the conviction rate for corruption cases is pretty low.\n\nand then their salaries should be increased so that they can make their ends meet.
