Corruption

Corruption refers to the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It typically involves actions that deviate from the rules of conduct governing the conduct of individuals in positions of authority, such as public officials or corporate executives. Corruption can manifest in various forms, including bribery, embezzlement, nepotism, fraud, and favoritism. It undermines trust in institutions, distorts economic and political processes, and contributes to inequality by allowing those with power to enrich themselves at the expense of the public good. Corruption can occur in both public and private sectors and can have a significant impact on governance, economic development, and social justice. Addressing corruption often involves implementing transparency measures, enforcing regulations, and promoting ethical behavior to restore integrity and accountability within systems and organizations.
