Corruption


Corruption(in Armenia and other countries)


Corruption is the abuse of public power for private gain. One of the ways of corruption is bribing. Bribing means giving gifts to some special poeple. Actually when you give a gift as a bribe you don't care about that person, you care about yourself, expecting something special from that person, and of course it is illegal.
There have been caught a lot of cases of different ways of corruption in our country. Now it is widespread in Armenia. It has become a problem for our country's development. I think there is more corruption in Armenina than in other countries. The most common way is bribing. But there is also another common way of corruption, when jobs are given to friends, family members or other relatives. This may really cause a lot of harm to the country, becauese businessmen prefer giving jobs to their acquaintances or relatives, even if they are not qualified. If they don't know the right way to work, it can be useless for the country and government, but rather useful for the ones who gave them the job.
This is a really common problem, not only in Armenia, but all over the world. And such cases happen frequently. The reasons are getting favour, money, something special from a special person(in cases of a bribing) etc. And of course the consequences are awful, e.g. it is illegal so the person will be arrested, careers will be ruined,,,and so on.
For example if i could help my friends or relatives to get a job, i will only do in case if they really can manage to do the job right. And i will do that , of course, in a fair way so it won't do harm neither to the government, nor to my career.

  1. Interesting post, thank you. If you were an owner of a company, what factors would you consider before hiring anyone, be it your relative or a friend?
