For Governments:
What should be the legal exposure of companies and employees for the corrupt
conduct of independent agencies and other third parties?
How can organizations such as the UN and OECD contribute to the development of
a global anti-corruption regime—one that encourages enforcement in lagging
nations, and one that harmonizes differing legal formulas, enforcement
mechanisms, and embedded cultural behavior?
For Companies:
How do global businesses and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in different
legal systems and business cultures design, implement, and monitor systems that
promote compliance with the developing global anti-corruption regime?
How can companies design compliance systems for limiting legal and reputational
risk for the corrupt conduct of third parties?

Corruption is an intractable problem. It is like diabetes, can only
be controlled, but not totally eliminated. It may not be possible to
root out corruption completely at all levels but it is possible to
contain it within tolerable limits. Honest and dedicated persons in
public life, control over electoral expenses could be the most
important prescriptions to combat corruption. Corruption has a
corrosive impact on our economy. It worsens our image in
international market and leads to loss of overseas opportunities.
Corruption is a global problem that all countries of the world have
to confront, solutions, however, can only be home grown. We
have tolerated corruption for so long. The time has now come to
root it out from its roots.

17. Case Study for Gender Discrimination
• In 2007, as a part of a study on gender discrimination, 48 male bank
supervisors were each given the same personnel file and asked to judge
whether the person should be promoted to a branch manager job that was
described as 'routine".
• The files were identical except that hall of supervisors had files showing the
person was male while the other half had files showing the person was
female.
• It was randomly determined which supervisors got-male applications and
which got 'female' application
• of the 48 files reviewed. 35 were promoted
• The study is testing whether females we unfairly Discriminated against.

20. Conclusion
From all the discussing above, gender inequality is obviously an
urgent problem in the world. Despite the fact that its volume
much decreases, it still exists and makes a lot of people suffer its
consequences every day. And there are many reasons leading to
gender discrimination which cannot be solved easily. However,
with education and progressive thoughts of people, there are also
reasons to trust in the future of gender inequality being stopped.
Then, hopefully, people can live in fairness no matter what gender
they are.
