Corruption part 1 ( Why it is a Threat to Democracy and Life )

Top Stories


I consider corruption a mortal threat to life and moral threat to democracy and here's why. First, it is a mortal threat to life because in places like North Korea now or Somalia in the 90's you have people starving. And the reason they are is because their "leaders", and I use the word leaders very lightly, make sure that any food deliveries in their countries only go to them. In other-words the food and aid shipped to starving countries is stolen by government officials for the benefit of the "leader". In my opinion they do this because a fed populace and an educated populace is harder to control. Next, the so called "leaders" have absolutely no care or concern for their people, they (corrupt leaders) only care about themselves. Third, it is a threat to democracy because it is the one perfect way to have a democracy fall. The reason is that through corruption you have voter & voter registration fraud and permissive attitudes by government officials that allow criminal activities to take place. Here are examples of each of the listed corrupt elements. First with voter & voter registration fraud you run the chance of getting a person who in his soul is the lowest animal you can imagine. In other-words he serve only himself, cares of no-one but himself, and is extremely brutal in civil rights (i.e. free speech etc.). Finally with the corrupt element of permissive attitudes, you have situations like illegal immigration that, to the corrupt is a chance to get more money, more votes, and more slaves, while to the rest needs to be regulated. It it because of these reasons I believe is the biggest threat to all nations and must be brought out into the light. Because in the end, corruption leads to poverty and ruined economies and the proof of this is simple: just follow the money.
