Did your country have a lot of corruption? What do you think people can do about corruption? Should corrupt workers be removed from their jobs? In your country, did a police officer ever stop you for speeding and ask for money instead of giving you a ticket? Did you ever have to pay money to an office clerk to get a job done? Is bribery common in your country? Do you think it's because police officers or government clerks have a low salary?

In Chile there is a lot of corruption. The corruption is in politics in official institutions, in government positions and the vast majority of private companies.

In my country you can buy your traffic violation.For example I was pulled over and the cope said he thought I did not have a seat belt on ,and I said I did.I asked ,if I could see the tape record.He said he couldn't rewind the tape so I said I want a copy of the tape next day and he went to his car.Wrote me a ticket any ways saying ,when it comes down to it ,I am a cop and you are not. Even though I only thought you did not have a seat belt on I can still write you this ticket and gave me the ticket and walked away.I called him and I offered him some money ,and he asked for more.Finally I paid to him and problem was solved.

Unfortunately the corruption in Mexico is like the cancer that spread all over the veins. People practice the corruption since school time. The corruption is everywhere. In school, teachers buy their jobs positions called “Plaza” Plaza means place to work. When the teacher retired after certain period of time they sell the plaza or give the plaza to another family member even if they don’t have special education to develop their jobs. Also, students that do not pass their test at school offer some gift to the teacher and they make them pass. That’s the way people start practicing the corruption in Mexico. When all the people grow up, they continue practicing the corruption for generations. From the beginning of their life many people see the corruption like a normal activity. A lot of high civil servant of the government grows up with the same habit. For instance, people that want to open a business without some city regulations if they offer some money to the city worker, they can open the business without any problem. Many police officers receive some money in order to take people to court for a felony. The corruption is an illness without cure that contagious all generations.

In my country there is a lot of corruption and I disagree to this because that does not give equal value to all levels of the population. In my country rich people have ties in all state institutions; they had nothing impossible and it unfair to the poorest part of the population. For example, my friend was very intelligent and graduated from high school with honors but her parents were poor. When she wanted to go to university, she could not it because that she had no money and she could not pay a bribe. I was very sorry for this girl because that she was really talented. Such cases in Ukraine very much and I have a frustrating and disappointing. Corruption is also present in all areas of society and the most appalling is that when a person after crash is in a terrible condition then doctors will not treat until relatives do not pay bribe. Corruption in my country every day destroys the dreams, hopes and lives of hundreds of thousands of poor people.

Corruption in Ukraine - is a common phenomenon that has penetrated into all spheres of life. It exists in hiring, in issuing various permits and licenses and, of course, in the allocation of public funds. Government spending are a huge source of income for senior officials. In addition, there are many other options enrichment. For example, tax credits , sale of raw materials at significantly reduced prices , natural resources , sale of state-owned monopoly to provide a particular type of activity , appointments to important positions in government , and more. If you do not begin to deal with it now, then in the near future corruption in Ukraine enters the grand scale, and you cannot stop it. And worst of all, all this and more successfully practiced in our country. You probably ask, what does the power to do so? It can only write laws , create specialized units that are not able to not only overcome, but moderate growth in the spread of this negative phenomenon.

In my country Mexico, has always bee too much corruption in all aspects, political, ecclesiastical, state and federal. I think that the corrupt workers should be removed from their jobs, because this has to stop. The corruption is like a virus that destroys the body and mind. Many times I have stopped but I never received a ticket, because they always asked for money and I paying to them instead. I know this is our fault too, because we try to avoid paying more money with a ticket and save time. I had been driving to Mexico and when the police put a check point already know that is to ask for money and it’s better to pay because if you do not pay them can take you to the delegation, and your going to lose more time and also money. I had never paid to any officer clerk. Bribery is very common in our country. I drove more then couple time to Mexico; we always take extra money because we know the corrupt police we had. I think that police officers and government clerk had a good salary, but is not enough because they like to abuse the people with the power they had.

In my country, a lot of corruption. All corruption is in power, who have the power in my country, he has the opportunity to ask for money instead of giving a ticket. They are aware of their impunity. A simple working man has no rights and opportunities. I think it is not because of low salaries, because now they have a high salary. Just left the habit of taking bribes. Very often, my husband paid the police simply because he was stopped and told that if you do not pay now, then have to pay more. Too bad that in my country there is no justice and order.

In Mexico there is a lot of corruption, and I disgragee with it. The correption is everywhere. I can,t avoid this problem because is come from long time. Yes all corrupt workers they can be removed from their jobs. I never have this experienced but I know friends have but experience with Mexican Patrol. The Mexican police ask for money instead given ticked. No I didn't have to pay an office clerk for any work I know when we have to cross the border lane inspection, the inspector ask for money whe people trying to take personal things or friends family gifts. I believe isn't because police officer have a low salary they are corrupts they like easy money.

Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It hurts everyone who depends on the integrity of people in a position of authority. Each country corrupt people. Government will always be corrupt because power always corrupts. I saw that the money changed a lot of people. I think the corrupt workers should be removed from their jobs. Because for power they are able to do everything, especially bad things. I understood that people who don't have power will never do anything against corruption.

In my country, Mexico, there is a lot of corruption. Beginning with government, political parties, and police officers. When a police officer stops you, he can give you a ticket, but if you give him money, then he will let go. When I was in country, I went to apply for a drivers license. The clerk at the office that I can give him $200 pesos ($20) he would will out the application for and I can receive my drivers license. I think there is a lot of corruption in my country, Mexico, because a lot of the city workers do not get paid enough, so they ask people to pay cash for a quick service. Even the drug dealers take money from common folks so that they will not harm them or rob them. It send a bad message to the people of Mexico that government officials are only looking out for themselves.

Corruption in my country is very common. Sadly, corruption is a part of the country's lifestyle and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere. Many people would lose their jobs, if everyone involved in corruption was fired, so it would do more damage to the people. Paying money to get out of a ticket is not unusual. Sometimes, if you want a job done well, you pay your hired workers extra money. People don't have a lot of money in my country. This makes people take bribes, because they want to live a better life with their families.

My country has a lot of corruption . People can't do anything about that problem . If corrupt workers be removed from their jobs it will be fifty percent of them .Almost all police officers get money from drivers instead of giving them tickets. Office clerks do the same . Special if you need some documents on house . Every paper costs money although its free . Also you can get any diploma for money without education .

. The corruption is everywhere. Especially after the revolution in Iran, corruption has been very normal there. Because rials against the dollar value has been too low, as a result prices have multiplied. For example, before revolution one dollar was equal by 70 rials, now one dollar is equal by 32000 rials.

Of course, in my country we have a lot of corruption .For example police officers ,doctors and teachers.i remember when i was in my country i drove fast and police catch me and told me you had speed limit ,then i said ok,so' then he told me , i can accept the cash ' but i didn't give him any money .I think people have to change their mind about bribery because if we don'd like do that any body can't take any bribery from us.

In Iran , there is a lot of corruption .unfortunately people in Iran knew corrupt had in government , political , police office , Army and many other places . Nobody can't tell nothing because the government (Akhondha ) are power than people .In Iran people , who works for government can misuse somehow they want . For example : I never forgot , I was in the Customs , all my products were at there but they didn't send them to me .when I went there , I asked my products but nobody couldn't find . They sent me to their bass . When I talked to him , he wants 10000$ from me . I knew , they want money to sent my stuffs . I just smile and wrote 10000$ checks for him because I didn't have choose . It was good experience for me because I know now , I can do anything with money (money talk ) .I wish , I don't see any corrupt in my country (Iran ) .

In my country there is a lot of corruption. People who have the power and money are in charge of corruption. In my country, the corruption is present in the areas of education, health care, business, sports and other. When a policeman stops you for the speed, you can just give him some money and keep going. I think it might be because in many areas of government work people have minimal wages.
