BRIBERY

           

Bribery is a form of corruption which involves acting in one’s favor by a gift of money or other inducement. We all have witnessed bribery many times in our lives. We have seen traffic police taking bribes from passengers, government officials taking bribes to do official works and in fact school asking for donations for admission purposes is also a form of bribery. But how many of us have actually raised our voice against it? Those who don't have enough money to give bribes are the ones who suffer the most. Let's take the example of college admissions, there are people who actually buy seats and because of that many deserving students lose their opportunity to get those seats. Bribery has become so common in our society that now it has become impossible to work without bribing.

On one side we teach our children to be always honest and on other side, we are indulged in bribing. Do we realize that by giving bribes, what are we teaching our children? We are in a way giving them a message that there is nothing wrong in being corrupted, if it works for you.

For our own selfish reasons, we are pushing our society in the hole of severe corruption. If we want to see our society as a truly developed nation then we have to get rid of this give and take of bribes.
But how do we put a stop to it? We can't even rely on government to bring an end to it because government officials themselves are very much involved in it. 
We as individuals need to work towards it, we need to stop taking and giving bribes.
Giving bribes is as much illegal as taking is, so put an end to it and be corrupt free.
