The document discusses corruption in Nigeria and proposes solutions. It defines corruption as any unethical act that enriches individuals at the expense of society. Corruption is classified into four categories: academic, economic/financial, political, and judicial/law enforcement. Solutions proposed include incorporating anti-corruption education into school curricula, using media for enlightenment campaigns, strengthening ethical home/family values, reforming the judiciary, promoting value re-orientation programs, increasing anti-corruption teachings in religious institutions, leading by example in government, and supporting volunteer anti-corruption initiatives.

Le storie di Mario : Epistolario - Lettere private dal 4 Febbraio al 29 MarzoAlessandro Mazzarisi
Storie private di gente semplice, gente di strada come Mario e sua moglie che si sono imbattuti come accade sempre, in persone estranee, di un'altra generazione, illudendosi di poter stabilire relazioni reciproche di profonda amicizia.
In un fraintendimento generale dovuto alle differenti esperienze personali vissute nel proprio mondo e nel proprio tempo, il carteggio epistolare tra Mario e la sua amica Amina lascia intravedere uno strisciante conflitto emotivo, generazionale e di valori della vita spesso completamente differenti, dipingendo una storia che attraverso il carteggio, è solo l’inizio di un thriller che metterà tutti a dura prova.
Il carteggio epistolare suddiviso in quattro parti è base della trama del racconto finale che comincia con la partecipazione di Mario e Amina a un concorso bandito da una Business School di Roma blasonata. I due sperimenteranno contemporaneamente il lavoro di gruppo fatto via rete e la gestione di relazioni emotive da proteggere da entrambe le parti.
In un rapporto di uno a sei per Mario questo primo carteggio pone l’attenzione sul diverso uso dei media per comunicare tra persone appartenenti a mondi diversi, per via del loro diverso uso del tempo.
«Коммуны» в городских квартирах: совместная жизнь и либертарное будущееAutonomousAction
Слово "коммуна" обычно ассоциируется у нас с чем-то очень далёким: в пространстве или во времени. Это или героическая Парижская Коммуна позапрошлого века, или поселения радикальных примитивистов далеко в сибирской тайге. Между тем, вполне настоящие коммуны окружают нас в повседневной жизни, хотя зачастую сами себя так не называют.
Заседание дискуссионного клуба "Автоном" 7 декабря 2014 года было посвящено городским коммунам - практике совместной жизни нескольких человек, формально не являющихся семьёй, в одной большой городской квартире. Эти практики вызваны не идеологическими или религиозными, а вполне практическими причинами. Именно поэтому они получают всё большее распространение не только среди субкультурной молодёжи или бесправных мигрантов из Средней Азии, но и среди казалось бы вполне интегрированных в "мэйнстримный" социум людей.
По некоторым оценкам, такая коммунитарная практика в большинстве случаев ведёт к позитивным изменениям в мировоззрении у тех, кто живёт вместе. Мы поговорили о возможных либертарных перспективах и проблемах, связанных с таким образом жизни. С небольшим рассказом о городских коммунах выступили Лена, Вадим и Андрей, участники подобных проектов. После доклада, как всегда, состоялась дискуссия.

Recita: La storia di un nerd – Mario che riprogrammò il pacemaker del presidenteAlessandro Mazzarisi
Serve un racconto di fantasia per alzare l'attenzione su un tema scottante. Per adattarsi alle normative che si evolvono, i nuovi Medical-Device invece di essere certificati ex-novo, usano sempre le certificazioni ricevute per prodotti di precedente generazione, aggiungendo solamente strati di sicurezza. È quello che accade anche per i canali trasmissivi così detti sicuri, costruiti su tecnologie vecchie e ben conosciute. È noto a tutti che è utile che di sicurezza ne parli, e sia verificata da chi di sicurezza ne fa il suo mestiere. Quando in gioco ci sono grandi interessi come sui pacemaker e i defibrillatori impiantabili, fatti pagare a caro prezzo alla collettività, servono competenze indipendenti per dare le dovute autorizzazioni, a partire dagli Ingegneri Biomedici e Clinici.

What do accountability, responsibility, and risk have to do with e.docxalanfhall8953
What do accountability, responsibility, and risk have to do with ethics in business? Everything. In today's transparent society, there is no place for dishonesty, arrogance, or greed in the executive ranks of a corporation or its board. Increased media exposure and the speed of information exchange will ensure that the work of directors is scrutinized far greater than ever before.
Due to greater media and public scrutiny, and the accountability and legal liability inherent in executive roles, many qualified individuals are reluctant to take on the responsibility of being a director.
In a speech given by United States Treasury Secretary Paul H. O'Neill to the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, Mr. O'Neill addressed the future leaders and future business leaders about the challenges they face (O’Neill, 2002).
In Mr. O'Neill's opinion as to why corporate leaders have fallen, he had this to say, "…I think they strayed from their values in the anything-goes 90s, and by the time they realized how far they had strayed—after all, in their minds, everyone else was doing it, or would if they could—it was too late. Like frogs in boiling water, they didn't feel the heat until they were cooked. There was nothing special about these people, except their hubris. They abandoned any pretense of moral direction to follow each dollar down its path, and figured they'd return to the main road before anyone noticed they were gone. But after the bubble popped, there was nowhere to hide" (O’Neill, 2002). Mr. O'Neill pointed out that while continuing with the accomplishments in the 90s-growth, productivity, and innovation-we need to actively work to make a new era of personal responsibility and public integrity.
In his conclusion, Mr. O'Neill stated, "In my view, the answer is simple: honest, accountable leadership. With leadership, everything is possible; without it, nothing is possible… Leaders must stand up and set an example not just for their employees, but for the general public as well. Honesty in business is the new patriotism. There is nothing better business leaders can do for this country right now than restore faith in the system that has made it great" (O’Neill, 2002).
What do scenarios like corporate financial collapse, environmental disasters, layoffs, and consumer law suits all have in common? These actions may not have to happen at all if corporations managed risk to their stakeholders and stockholders. Risk management is more important today than ever before. What's the answer? Effective corporate governance standards.
According to Brian Brown, president of the Winnipeg Chapter of the Institute of Internal Auditors and director of corporate audit services at Winnipeg-based Agricore United, there are four pillars that will prevent corporate problems. The four pillars are: the board of directors, management, internal auditors, and external auditors." Brown continues, "…to be effective, each of these four must operate independently. Whe.
THINKING ON HOW TO KILL THE KILLER BEFORE HE KILLS US ALL WHO IS THE KILLER? ...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
INTRODUCTION
Who is or what is the true Killer of African People? This question has being playing on my mind for years’ and years to months and months to weeks and to days. Well today is the day I attempted to search for answers and to know the true killer of my African People. This article will attempts to suggest some of the killers or what killers African People. This article is not the final answers to the entire Problem. However, I intended to limit the discussions on Political Corruption as one of the main factors that kills everything in the hands of African. So let look at some definitions and characteristics of Political Corruption and its effect in our social-economic development of Africa.
For the purpose of this article I will define corruption and the type of corruption we have
PART 1. Corruption: Its Meaning, Type, and Real-World Example
Introduction Corruption has recently been the subject of substantial theorizing and empirical research, and this has produced a bewildering array of alternative approaches, explanations, typologies and remedies. Corruption is understood as everything from the paying of bribes to civil servants and the simple theft of public purses, to a wide range of dubious economic and political practices in which businesspeople, politicians and bureaucrats enrich themselves. The issue of corruption is an old one, that has re-entered the current political and economic debate from the new interest in the role of the state in the developing world, and from the assumption that the state is an indispensable instrument for economic development, redistribution and welfare. In contrast to the largely rejected “state-dominated” and “state-less” development models, there is now much consensus on the need for an efficient medium-sized state apparatus with a political will and adequate economic policies to ensure economic development. Corruption is seen as counter-productive to the needed economic and political reforms, accountability, transparency, and good governance. The intention of this paper is to classify the various forms of corruption in order to operationalize the concept for analytical and practical purposes. First, different forms of corruption will be outlined. Secondly, corruption will be defined as a particular state-society relationship, and the distinction made between political corruption and bureaucratic corruption. Then two more distinctions will be added, namely between “individual” and “collective” forms of corruption, and corruption as a mechanism of either “upward extraction” or “downward redistribution”. This will sum up to the basic argument that the fight against corruption will have to be placed within a broader agenda of democratization.

THEME: BUILDING A CORRUPTION FREE SOCIETY
INTRODUCTION
Corruption is one of the serious challenges confronting Nigeria as at
today. It has permeated every stratum of the society. With its current
prevalent rate, the Country’s image abroad is seriously smeared. Every
Nigerian by the prevailing culture of corruption has the tendency to be
corrupt. Also, the nation’s foreign direct investment is obviously affected
by our stigmatization as a corrupt nation. Nigeria with her abundant
resources still faces problem of youth unemployment, high poverty rate,
mass illiteracy and security challenges due to problem of corruption.
2. Even with the recent rebasing of the Country’s Gross Domestic product
(GDP) which has catapulted Nigeria to the new status of the biggest
economy in Africa, the corruption stigmatization is likely to make it an
illusion for Nigeria to achieve the growth rates which are associated with
robust GDP. Ironically, the Nigeria’s sudden emergence as the biggest
economy in Africa is a direct contradiction to the recent pronouncement
by the World Bank few days before the figure of the rebased GDP was
made public to be one of the extremely poor nations in the world.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The word corruption can be defined with flexibility using sociological,
psychological and philosophical dimensions. A lot of scholars have
variously defined the concept of corruption with ethical touch and from
legal prospective.
Corruption involves offer and acceptance of bribe or other forms of
gratification. When anything is offered to induce or influence another
person’s decision, choices and action such thing fits to be described as
corruption.
3. Corruption is also any act, conduct or behaviour capable of enriching the doer
at the expense of the society or government. Given its wider implications,
corrupt practices are observable in both private and public spheres of life.
From religious perspective, both Islam and Christianity abhor corruption.
When the concept of corruption is examined from psychological perspective,
it is regarded as unethical behaviour.
Bribery is also said to be an act of corruption. The elements that must be
observed or present to make an action to be considered as act of bribery are:
intent to influence the other; the offer should be something capable to alter
or induce the receiver of either gift, money or any valuable with an
expectation to a reward in return for the offer. Nigeria has a lot of legal
control and instruments which clearly listed acts and offences that constitute
corruption, the punishment for each act of corruption, the enforcement
procedure and prosecution guidelines. The ICPS Act, EFCC Act, Criminal
code/penal code among other extant regulations are in force to checkmate
corrupt practices in Nigeria.
4. Corruption is also described as prohibitive acts whose violation attracts
sanctions. In addition, corruption is believed to be an act of indiscipline
and the culpability of the doer depends on the nature and the form it
takes. In some social contexts, corruption is destructive and it is
becoming a perennial social problem in Nigeria. In my own way, I define
corruption as any unethical and condemnable act from social context,
religious perspective and legal standpoint.
CLASSIFICATION OF CORRUPTION
The classification of corruption depends on the nature, characteristics
and manifestation of the various behaviours and conducts constituting
the act. For the purpose of this presentation, I classify corruption into
four as analysed below:
i. Academic Corruption:- This relates to the various corrupt
practices that usually occurred in educational institutions or within the
school system. For ease of reference, academic corruption includes
sexual harassment by the lectures, examination malpractice, falsification
of results, perjury of age declaration, impersonation, leaking of
examination questions to students before the day of exam, admission
racketeering etc.
5. ii. Economic and Financial Corruption:- This relates to offer and
acceptance of either monetary or asset values to induce the receiver.
Indeed, the law stipulates that both the giver and the receiver are liable
under the law. Specifically, economic / financial related acts of corruption
include capital flight, money laundry, contract inflation, misappropriation,
mismanagement of fund, outright stealing of public fund, violation of
principle of due process in the award of contract by public office holders.
iii. Political related corruption:- There are political acts, behaviours
and conducts that are unethical and in this category are election rigging,
stuffing of ballot boxes during election, voters’ inducement, stealing of
ballot papers, falsification of election results etc. By extension, acts of
political corruption include favouritism, nepotism, imposition of candidates
etc.
iv. Judicial and law enforcement related corruption: While
acknowledging the role of judiciary as the last hope of the common man,
there are areas where the judiciary are involved in acts of corruption.
6. Without missing words, delay in giving judgement, wrong judgement of
cases, wilful and arbitrary grant of orders, leave and injunctions are some of
the examples of judicial corruption. Worse still, the law enforcement
Agencies most especially custom and police are guilty and liable of aiding
and abetting crimes and criminals and many of the officers live on bribe.
SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM OF CORRUPTION
The problem requires a holistic approach and the following ideas are put
forward as a panacea towards making Nigeria to be a corruption free
society:
i. Curriculum Related Solution: Curriculum deals with programmes of
instruction, programmes of activity and programmes of guidance under the
school supervision. The war against corruption needs to be incorporated and
needs to be part of school programme of instruction, activity and guidance.
In essence, the Nigeria’s educational institutions are to include issues
relating to corruption in the curriculum of studies particularly in civics, social
studies, citizenship education etc.
7. ii. Media Enlightment: With the trends in digital cum information and
communication technology, the media has a lot of roles to play in inculcating
the right norms and values unto the citizens. For more clarity, print media,
electronic media, social media and new media are all relevant and potent
tools in waging war against corruption. In this respect, youths as agents of
social change are expected to deploy the opportunities provided by social
media and new media in waging war against the menace of corruption.
iii. Home and Family Responsibility: The first teachers are the parents.
In broad terms, families help the children a lot in the area of character
formation and in shaping child’s personality. The cherished societal values
are obviously imbibed from home. Hence, the need for the parents to teach
the children ethical conducts to achieve the end of making Nigeria a
corruption free society.
iv. Strengthening the institution of judiciary : The judiciary remains a
major instrument to rid the nation of corruption. To achieve the desire of
building a corruption free nation, the extant laws are to be made functional
and obsolete ones be repealed or reviewed. Also, the judiciary and other law
enforcement agencies are to be purged of corrupt officers/personnel before
contemplating on winning the war against corruption.
8. v. Value re-orientation of the youths and public servants: Apparently,
wrong value orientation is one of the causes of prevalence of corruption in
Nigeria. Except there is value re-orientation against quick rich syndrome,
individualism, greed and selfishness, it may be difficult to win the war
against corruption. Of course, we must all change our attitude, perception
and orientation to life to successfully combat corruption.
vii. Ethical teachings by the religious institutions: While appreciating
the various areas our churches and mosques contribute to the menace of
corruption when one looks at the activities of fake pastors, soothsayers and
dubious Imams /Alfas, these religious institutions still owe the society the
responsibility of teaching morals. The war against corruption cannot succeed
except it is fought from various places of worship including shrines.
v. Leadership by example: Every one of us is a potential leader. And
when anyone is opportune to get to leadership position, there should be
urge to lead by example. It is my candid opinion that war to free Nigeria of
corruption stigma requires attitudinal change on the part of both the leaders
and followers. The slogan- leadership by example –should be popularised
such that no one is allowed to act as if he/she is above the law or create an
impression that some people are immune against the extant legal provisions
on corruption and other related offences.
9. vi. Volunteering works/activities: The Non-Governmental bodies and
volunteers also have responsibilities in the war against corruption. Through
volunteering activities, constant seminars, conferences, workshops and
campaign may be organised for the youth in an efforts to address the
problem of corruption in the society.
