This document discusses corruption both historically and today. It provides examples of corruption in Mark Twain's novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, such as how cruelly carpetbaggers treated people and how much money the duke and dauphin scammed from others. It then discusses various examples of corruption in modern sports, including the NFL wanting more regular season games for monetary reasons despite player safety concerns, an NBA referee betting on games, and a college football player's father asking for money during recruitment. The document argues that corruption has persisted as an issue within society and will continue due to people's desires for money.
