Corruption in all its Entirety

Abstract

Corruption is a complex and widespread problem that afflicts countries worldwide, penetrating diverse sectors and institutions. It denotes the exploitation of authority for individual benefit, frequently integrating practices such as bribery, embezzlement, nepotism, or favouritism. This unethical conduct not only erodes confidence in public institutions but also has extensive ramifications on both society and the economy. Corruption has a tremendous impact on society. It undermines the confidence of the public in government officials and institutions, resulting in a deterioration of social unity. If citizens regard their leaders as corrupt, they may develop a lack of trust in the democratic process and become disenchanted with the principles of the rule of law. Consequently, this can lead to political instability, societal turmoil, and potentially even acts of violence.
