Corruption is pandemic in Nigeria. From high-profile cases to individual selfish mentality, the syndrome has been very pervasive and currently, corruption seems to be fighting back in the country. This paper highlights some definition of corruption and explores the psychological and ethical bases for corrupt mentality in Nigeria. The paper therefore posits that there is the need to institutionalize regulations with ethical reorientation of the young ones against greed and nepotism with appropriate civic value system. As charity begins at home, it is recommended that the home as an informal sector for civic learning should form a synergy with school civic education for promoting corrupt-free mentality.

Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to highlight the concept of corruption and analyses our cumulative knowledge about corruption’s effects on the economic growth in Algeria during the period 2002–2015. This article emphasizes the major source of corruption and how the quality of institutions and government policies could mitigate the risk of corruption or increase it. The findings also show the great role of free media in most developing countries which created a new tendency to talk about the effects of corruption especially in recent years. Using a multiple regression model, we find that a 1% decrease in the corruption index CPI level increases the GDP growth rate by approximately 2,005%. The analysis also revealed that there is a negative relationship between the country rank and the economic growth. Finally, the results suggest that more economic freedom, social and political stability lead to less corruption.

A unique online tracking software system is being used to protect and repatriate victims of human trafficking between India and Myanmar. The Impulse Case Information Centre Software is an online repository of cases that can be used as a transnational referral mechanism to ensure systematic documentation of human trafficking cases and address the issue of internal and cross-border trafficking. It was developed by Impulse NGO Network, an organization based in the northeast of India that has been working to stop trafficking for 20 years. With the support of the Global Development Network, Impulse NGO Network is now scaling up its anti-trafficking tracking system to be used by governments in other neighboring countries, including Bangladesh and Nepal, as part of their anti-trafficking strategies.

Combating Corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa: Corruption Perceptions of Public...Premier Publishers
This article presents an analysis of data from a corruption perception survey administered to 90 Public Administration University of Asmara students in the month of June 2018. Respondents were asked for their opinions regarding the pervasiveness, causes, and potential remedies for corruption in Eritrea. The majority of the surveyed university students believe corruption in Eritrea is a serious problem that needs to be addressed by its leaders. The findings clearly indicate that the respondents believe the primary drivers of corruption in the Eritrean public sector include lack of adequate public sector pay, lack of meritocratic personnel policies, the self-serving behavior of public officials and lack of accountable/transparent political process. An overwhelming majority of the respondents recommended the urgent design and implementation of anti-corruption initiatives in Eritrea focusing on civil service reforms (improved public sector pay, heavy penalties and meritocratic personnel policies), accountability reforms (anti-corruption commission, anti-corruption legislation and the Auditor-General office) and political reforms (respect for rule of law, visible leadership commitment and legislative oversight).

Every day, all over the world, ordinary people bear the cost of corruption. In many countries, corruption affects people from birth until death. In Zimbabwe, women giving birth in a local hospital have been charged US$5 every time they scream as a penalty for raising false alarm.
1 In Bangladesh, the recent collapse of a multi-story factory, which killed more than 1,100 people due to a breach of basic safety standards, has been linked to allegations of corruption.
2 This report examines how corruption features in people’s lives around the world. Drawing on the results of a Transparency International survey of more than 114,000 respondents in 107 countries, it addresses people’s direct experiences with bribery and details their views on corruption in the main institutions in their countries. Significantly, Transparency International’s Global Corruption Barometer also provides insights into how willing and ready people are to act to stop corruption. The findings are clear: corruption is a very real burden, with more than one out of four respondents reporting having paid a bribe during the last year.3 When people are not in a position to afford a bribe, they might be prevented from buying a home, starting a business or accessing basic services. Corruption can, and often does, infringe on fundamental rights.
For those surviving on less than US$2 a day, and for women who are the primary caretakers of children around the globe, corruption and bribery are particularly devastating. For them, the additional cost of bribery can mean trade- offs are made between health and hunger, between school entrance fees and the shoes necessary to wear to school. Not only do people pay the costs of corruption directly, but their quality of life is also affected by less visible forms of corruption. When powerful groups buy influence over government decisions or when public funds are diverted into the coffers of the political elite, ordinary people suffer. When there is widespread belief that corruption prevails and the powerful in particular are able to get away with it, people lose faith in those entrusted with power.
As the Global Corruption Barometer 2013 shows, corruption is seen to be running through the foundations of the democratic and legal process in many countries, affecting public trust in political parties, the judiciary and the police, among other key institutions. Importantly, however, the people surveyed around the world as a part of the Global Corruption Barometer do not view themselves as powerless victims of corruption.
India is a fast developing country in the world where our systems are weak. So there is always a chance of corruption. Who is responsible for this? What action should be taken? What we must keep in the mind is “Nothing is impossible”. If we join our hands together there can be an end to this deep rooted evil. The only thing is it takes time. A little progress everyday leads to a big result one day ……… may be tomorrow. Be GOOD and DO GOOD

Introduction
Corruption is a significant crisis that kills the power of the constitution. Corruption diminishes the power of the society, economy, and social welfare of the nation. There are minimal chances of growth when corruption prevails. Thus, corruption is one of the biggest challenges facing the USA and is clearly shown by the form of administration. Factors that influence corruption is more, and the effect varies depending on the affected individuals. Typical corruption forms have taken way to inform of mishandling of policies, public funds misuse, and failure to submit to public growth projects. Current reports show that corruption is prevalent in many public sectors including but not limited to bribing of civil servants, misuse of political power, and bureaucrats using public power in the United States for a personal end.
Solution
s
Fighting corruption is a challenging task because individuals involved have either political or economic power this providing ways to manipulate the will of the weak. Regardless the report highlights possible ways to solve the issue of corruption while giving recommendations for implementation. First, it is possible to address corruption by engaging the public. Teaching the public about the effect of corruption would help combat the problem. That is, each person should be encouraged to follow the norms of the society and laws of the land (Olaguer, 2006). Following stands of morality would ensure that each person is watchful of individuals’ behaviors. Also, the public should learn how to spot instances of corruption and take necessary action when necessary. When the public is knowledgeable about the consequences of corruption, it is easier to engage in public participation in fighting the epidemic.
Next, corruption can be eradicated by employing a legal strategy. The process involves engaging the law, the judiciary, press, the police, and the media. By creating certainty and involving the bodies mention, it would be easier to discriminate corruption through justice. The legislature should be encouraged to review the laws and make clear the aspect of corrupt and corruption. Although the process might require more time, it would help understand when an individual is convicted of corruption (Heimann et al., 2008). Furthermore, the public should have the power to report against corrupt individuals in society without fear. While the legislature revises the laws, judicial civil servants would have the ability to sentence people from various social classes irrespective of their impact on society.
Third, decentralization of power is an essential step towards fighting corruption in the USA. This would give way for more transparency in the public sectors, procurement process, and budget process should be passed through mass media.

Knowledge is power - this insight is at least four centuries old, formulated by philosopher Francis Bacon during the Enlightenment. His statement has lost nothing in terms of relevance and significance: Knowledge is power, and education is the fundamental precondition for political development, democracy and social justice. This paper explores how African writer Ngugi Wa Thiong’o establishes the relationship between the language and power in the process of decolonising the mind. On the other hand, Freire‟s generative themes is a student centered system of learning that challenges how knowledge is constructed in the formal education system and in society at large. Freire’s student centered approach stands in stark contrast to conventional educational practice, which he referred to as the “banking approach” to education. Freire has been able to draw upon and weave together a number of strands of thinking about educational practice and liberation .His theoretical innovations have had a considerable impact on the development of educational practice all over the world.

In the present study an attempt has been made to find out the relationship between emotional intelligence (4dimensions i.e. ability to express and appraise emotions, utilize emotions, manage emotions in self and in others.) and teaching aptitude of school teachers. In addition to this the emotional intelligence of male and female private and government school teachers were also compared. The sample comprised of 200 subjects (50 male + 50 female private school teachers and 50 male + 50 female government school teachers) of District Bhiwani Emotional intelligence scale developed and standardized by Pandey and Anand was used to measure the emotional intelligence. Teaching aptitude test battery constructed and standardized by R.P. Singh was used. Results indicate that three dimensions of E.I. (i.e. ability to express feeling, ability to utilize emotions and ability to utilize emotions in self) shows significant difference among private and government school teachers. There exists significant difference between teaching aptitude of private and government school teachers. Three exists positive correlation between emotional intelligence and teaching aptitude school teachers.

The nature of laws that govern the financial sector, as well as the quality of the institutions that enforce those laws, will largely determine the shape, size and depth of the financial sector. Of particular importance are the laws and institutions that facilitate/ promote or discourage/inhibit secured lending by influencing the ease with which agricultural and other rural assets can be used as collateral. These laws need to be reviewed and amended from time to time and financial/legal literacy and credit counseling in rural areas need to be continuously provided to users in order to ensure orderly growth of rural financial markets, since these are two issues of particular concern for the development of Rural Financial Markets(RFMs) in most developing countries. The experiences also confirm that mere establishment of an appropriate enabling environment does not guarantee that people will use their assets as collateral or use them prudentially. In rural areas, peoples’ understanding of their rights to own property and utility value of property owned is not adequate for them to seize available opportunities for their socio-economic development that their ownership makes possible. Efforts are, therefore, necessary to make them fully aware/educate potential borrowers as to the rights and responsibilities associated with property ownership, which can help them leverage their assets while understanding the risks in doing so.

Introduction: We usually say corruption has become a part o system and every person has
sometime got to encounter with it in his personal life. What do we mean by corruption here?
When we see employees in govt. offices providing services to general public which are their
right only after taking bravery, we call it corruption. When we read that Govt. Funds which are
to reach to poor and needful people in the society does not reach to them rather goes in the
pockets of intermediates, we call it corruption. When we see a traffic inspector making

settlement by taking bribery with person who has violated traffic rules, we call it corruption
.Corruption is use of authorities of power by govt. officials for their private gains. Corruption
includes bribery, frauds, nepotism, embezzlement etc. We can't get any of our work dine in govt.
offices without producing cash in most cases. If we are doing, we are making ourselves
participants of corruption. To improve the situation, everyone has to do his/her share. Some
measures like public awareness (making people aware about their rights), good governance,
building systematic integrity within the society, taking strict actions against defaulting parties,
giving support to organization which are working to vanish their hazardous system. If everyone
takes step together, this dirty system can easily be vanished from society.
Meaning of corruption: The meaning & definition of corruption may vary from person to
person and society to society. World Bank & Transparency International defines it as misuse of
public office for private gain'. When public officials or officers use their official power for their
private gain instead of serving people, it is corruption. Corruption has so much spread in the
society that it has become a daily practice. General public easily accepts it, let themselves looted
instead of protect them, resulting in weakening of society and the growth of evil in society. We
can see the corrupt practices happening at all levels from lowest to uppermost. At lower level,
govt. officials in public offices gets brides to implement the policies, or for giving the people the
services which are their right. The type of corruption can be called petty corruption & it is done
by lower level officials. Some shows a different view regarding these types of corruption. They
say that type of corruption done by those officials who legal eating is very low. To provide good
life education to their family & children, they depend on such bribes. Corruption done by top
level officials, who formulates policies & makes law, is called as grand corruption. At this level,
polices are made good for corrupt people (who gives large private gains to officials) and
hazardous for the general public. Corruption whether petty or grand weakness the society by
misappropriating use of resources of society, making the position worst for the poor destroying
integrating society, spreading other social evil etc. In terms of money, corruption has reached the
highest levels. World Bank, based on worldwide date compiled in 2001-02, estimated that the
amount of money paid in bribes, globally was some $ 1 trillion. According to UN developing
program, corruption is costing the developing world billions of dollars every year. It siphons off
scare resources and diminishes a country's prospects for development. In a country where
corruption is endemic the consequence are pay bribes. In the end, corruption tightens the

Research Methodology: Analytical research methodology has been adopted in presenting this
paper. The individual experiences have been analyzed thoroughly to get every aspect related to
the given issue. This is such an issue about which we get a lot a experience in our surrounding
society. The secondary source of data has also been used in presenting the paper. Materials have
been collected for newspapers, websites newspaper, journals, research paper etc. Corruption is
such an issue which we most likely to talk about when we ourselves get a victim of it. We,
ourselves make the corruption to grow by becoming victims of it and not making ourselves
aware about our rights. Measures taken to prevent corruption can be successful if we all work for
it and unity.
Research objectives
1. To get the answer of the question who is responsible of corruption
2. To analyze and interpret whether corruption affects everyone equally or differently
3. To suggest the measures to prevent corruption has been suggested.
Global View: Though, corruption is worldwide spread, yet some countries contain more
corruption then other. Globally integrity on the basis of its measurement of anti corruption and
good governance system approach points out some countries at the top not have anti-corruption
institution which are Angola, Serbia, Cambodia, China, Belarus, Georgia Morocco, Nicaragua,
Somalia, Yemen etc which are taking series risk for high level corruption by not making good

person decides not to give bribery and decides not to support corrupt practices. Conditions can
improve for society. The government should initiate by establishing anti-corruption intuitions,
good governess system etc. the government, governance system, public officials everyone has to
work together to check on corruption all directly or indirectly are responsible for corruption
Forms of Governance – More corrupt: Is democracy is better than autocratic system?
Mubxinpei form Carnegie endowment clarifies corruption does exist is democracies but it is
fundamentally different from the massive looting by authority in dictatorship. That is why the
least corrupt countries, with a few exceptions, all happen to be democracies, and the most corrupt
countries are over holding autocracies. The corruption is more prevalent in autocracies I no more
coincidence. White democracies derive their legitimacy and popular support through
competitive election and the role of laws autocracies depend on the support of small group of
political and social elites, the military, the bureaucracy and the secret police" Having our
country as a democracy, doesn't guarantee that ours is a less corrupt country. Rather, corruption
exists in all societies, but in democracies there are more chances to minimize. As in democracies,
the people are rules select the government they can demand more transparency is its operations.
Prevention: There is an old saying that, “Prevention is better than cure," so, measures should
be taken to prevent corruption
Some suggestion are:
Good Governance: Good Governance includes elements like participating of general public.
Where general public plays a vital role in governance system. The system gets strong and less
corrupt; the other element of good governance is transparency. If the operation of government
transparent polices, rules, acts, legislations mode transport it ensures good governance and
prevention of corruption. Account ability in one such element which is necessary to improve the
situation. Especially public section service delivery can be improved by fixing accountability.
Accountability done one right prospect works for anti-corruption practices.

Rule of Law: Rule of law supports a legal framework that is enforced impartially, if we can't
enforce the rules made of the benefit of public, there remains no value for the existence, so
enforcement is necessary to follows rule of law.
Public Awareness
1. Public Awareness in must for combating corruption. People should be aware about their right
& powers. In democracies, people have more power for their rights than autocracies. Some steps
can be taken which are given as below. 2. Public education and awareness campaign through
newspapers, FM, radio, TV, Websites, Conducting workshops where all shareholders of society
can be given education about their right & powers Public at their level should also initiate by say
"No" to bribery & corruption Children & youth from home & schools should be given thoughts,
education for anti-corruption practices. 3. Media can play an important role n creating awareness
by showing hazardous effects of corrupt practices in society. Thus inspiring people to do &
support anti corruption practices. National integrity system can be made including pillars like
judiciary, anti corruption institutions watches of agencies, good governance system public
awareness program, media support for anti –corruption practices etc. 4. All these measure if
taken seriously can prove very helpful in combating corruption. The only essence of thing is that
every person should initiate on his/ her level. It happens; society can easily vanish corruption and
strengthen the governance system.
Conclusion: Corruption now a day is difficult to specify as all levels, all societies contain
corruption. But, according to institutions lie World Bank and transparency international,
corruption gets a definition as misuse of power by public officials for their private gain.
Although corruption effects whole of the society, but it has a more adverse effect on children &
women. First, they lake resources, so they are asked for bribes they are unable to produce it. And
they in turn get exploitation of their rights by authorities. Democracy at some level check on
corruption but not completely, sometimes it proves totally fail in combating corruption. Anti-
corruption practices should be supported by making or establishing a good governance system..
Rule of law should be established. Public Awareness should be considered most effective in
combating corruption until people are educated for their rights, corruption can't be prevented.
