Fighting Corruption Is a Global Concern

Zussman’s(2005) article ” Fighting Corruption Is a Global Concern” states that corruption must be eliminated. He explains that the framework of the anti-corruption conference in Beijing where Transparency International gives details making corruption problems noticeable to public. Next, nations and worldwide association are working together to eliminate in society. And enormous amounts of global bribes are more spend than government’s financial. Consequently he claims that many counties concentrate with anti-corruption efforts, because corruption interferes with economic structure and reduces inhabitant’s quality of life. Furthermore he explains four essentials to the flourishing accomplishment of an anti-corruption. First, we need to acceptable laws. Second, all society have to know the regulations. Third, there have to be forceful achievement of the policies. Finally, we need to place truthful people in leadership roles. He also claims that corruption should be eliminated in society.

It is apparent that author speaks convincingly. Corruption is a bad habit in our society. Moreover it occur many social problems, therefore people try to stop it. However it seems to be impossible. Corruption can not be stopped.

First, some people who are leading corruption above the law. Although the government makes more strict laws, this regulation does not apply to special people. The application of a law always has been controlled by power and money. We know that the big business man never be held in the prison, even he is a criminal. The rich is not guilty, only the poor is guilty. In addition most people love money. Many problems can solve with power of money. When we have to receive speed ticket, frequently people try to give some cash with a license to officer and they can success their purpose. Therefore anti-corruption movement is the waste of time and money and also it would hurt a person’s feeling.

Moreover, anti-corruption movement has risks to law enforcers. The corruption always concern with the dark quarters. This picture is very familiar for us because of gangster films. However, it is true story. Many corporations have a corrupt relationship between political and business circles. We know that some companies provide a brief to government for their profit. However people’s opposition can not change their behavior, because they have power. Nowadays, we are in the world where the weak are victims of the strong. If you are not a strong, you may not try to eliminate the corruption. There will be too many threats.

Finally, corruption is an old vice like a chain that never breaks. We can say that history of human society is a record of corruptions. There was this routine in the Roman Empire as well as the Middle Ages. For example, Catholic Church had a dishonest relationship with royal authority for ling time, and they even sold an indulgence. All the time corruption has existed also people who are opposite from corruptions have survived. Why does corruption still remain? It is not a simple issue. Corruption clearly will succeed to next generation and they also will organize anti groups. Nevertheless do we have to going against corruption?

In conclusion, there is every reason to believe that corruption will be not stopped. Corruption is related to too many barriers: political and financial powers, historical abuse and force of the under-world. Therefore we need to recognize that corruption is an inevitable phenomenon in human society.
