so i applied ADC on my campus ( Taa- Daa now im a new college Student everybody, welcome me!) ADC is a debating club. and in my selection to be a member i have to write a essay about corruption. I know my essay is not good but this is it and all i got. actually i have so many thought but i can not go well in english and the essay became suck. oh and i put some what can we do from ACT against corruption. visitwww.actagainstcorruption.org ! international anti-corruption day is 9 December! marks your calender now to remind everybody how corruption endangers our morals.  hehehe

 I believe that all of you know and have heard about corruption. Corruption came from a latin word “corruptio” which means rotten, spoiled. Generally the definition of corruption is the misuse of entrusted power for personal benefit. The corruptor took someone else’s rights (something that actually does not belong to them) only for their benefit. So far, many of corruption issues related on political issue. Then corruption has been the biggest evil in our society.

            I will give you an illustration. Your mother told you to bring a lunch box your sister who forgot to bring her lunch box, but on the way school you ate your lunch box and her lunch box. Your sister then eats nothing at all. Is that corruption? Now imagine that lunch box was money which is allocated to public sector.  Many governors abandoned their responsibility because of their greed. Corruption it is not only about taking what is not mine. Many cases have shown that bribery is one of corruption too. Bribery as long as disadvantages other person called corruption. Sadly in this century people have grown insatiable appetite for money. This type of people will do anything to get more income (cash). In spite of the constant promises and talks about the importance of the value-based life, the outside show of being influenced by corruption goes on. I think that corruption is a passive killer. Corruptor does not kill you directly but they all took your rights and everything so they are a passive killer.

            I think that we should fight against corruption because corruption makes hunger, growth of poverty, endangers morals, and disadvantages the others. It can be only possible if people can understand and start to believe the values of ethics and morality in their life. In my opinion integrity is the key about how to minimize the corruption. Integrity is the key of living as human. Having integrity means doing the right thing in a reliable way.  Say no to what is not right. Integrity is like commitment to do what is right. Everything is start from ourselves. For example, we can refuse to participate in any activities that are considered bribery, not cheating during the test. Engage the youth of our country about what ethical behavior. I hope government soon makes a tough sanction for those who did corruption.

            Last, I want to share a quote from Karl Kraus. Karl Kraus was an Austrian writer and journalist. “Corruption is worse than prostitution. The latter might endanger the morals if an individual, the former invariably endangers the morals of the entire country.”
