Bribery and Corruption

Bribery and corruption involve unethical practices where individuals use improper means to gain an advantage or influence decisions. Bribery typically refers to offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting something of value to sway someone's actions, often in positions of power. Corruption is a broader term that encompasses bribes but also includes fraud, favoritism, and misuse of authority for personal gain. Both undermine trust in institutions, distort fair competition, and can harm economic development and social justice, ultimately affecting quality of life for individuals and communities. Combating them is essential for promoting transparency and integrity in society.
