It is really sad to know that corruption is always here for us... anywhere you look, you go or even though your friends relatives friends are corrupt...
This is true right??? Base on my experience when i was having my voluntary help and i was assign at pharmacy for giving free medicines... i saw my friends getting medicines for their own use... i get medicine too for my mother like vitamins... see that was a sample of little corruption.. instead of thinking the community, the less fortunate and give them those medicine... we think ourself first before them who are unable to buy those type of medicines.selfishness comes first then thinking our family...

Corruption is everywhere. And it is sad. I think our society needs more of ethical teaching. I think it is important to give strong ethical teaching in the schools and colleges. Rather what happens is that in universities and colleges the idea that morality is relative is penetrating. And I don't know what kind of solution such ideology will bring. I think we need to change the system of our education.

Hello,alexi! nobody in this political system is free from corruption.wherever you go you will find this system expanding like an epidemic.an epidemic can be controlled but corruption can not be controlled,because here we the people are involved.unless the people rise to the occasion,corruption can not be controlled.as you say,when a man gets chance he tends to do the corruption,be it medicine supply or supply of goods for relief purpose.I think corruption in India is in a much larger dimension.here you can not get justice without bribe.they say it is not bribe,it is gift for doing certain favor to you.the greed for making money has reduced these politicians to inhuman creatures.thank you.

that sure is a very human failing which does not excuse it at all.but you were thoughtful enough to know that taking those medications was wrong. selfish ness is something we should all battle especially those who are in government positions and should know better
