Corruption

Corruption refers to the act of dishonestly or fraudulently using one’s position or power for personal gain, often at the expense of others or the public good. It can manifest in various forms, including bribery, embezzlement, fraud, and the abuse of power. Corruption typically undermines trust in institutions, erodes ethical standards, inhibits economic development, and perpetuates inequality. It can occur in both public and private sectors and is often associated with a lack of transparency and accountability in governance and business practices. Addressing corruption involves implementing legal frameworks, promoting ethical conduct, and fostering a culture of integrity.
