‘Ethical practices in organisations bring down corruption’
Good morning everyone present here. I am going to express my views on ‘Ethical practices in organisations bring down corruption’. Ethical behavior is contagious. It attracts everyone’s attention. Everyone appreciates ethical practices.
Corruption is an evil that everyone inherits by default in one’s nature. Everyone instinctively works for one’s vested interests, at times compromising with what is usually right. Suppose there is an ethical person in an organization, his presence and way of working becomes a standard of acceptable behavior for others. His team members or fellow workers who indulge in corrupt practices have to be careful, forcing them to be ethical and honest.
Ethics are in high demand. The managers, CEOs, Directors, or Managers expect the people working under them to be ethical. Whenever incentives, salary raise or any other promotion is to be given out, ethics and performance are the basic criteria.
Thus ethical persons in an organization motivate everyone to be ethical that indirectly discourages corruption.

Good morning everyone present here. I am going to express my views on ‘Ethical practices in organisations bring down corruption’. I don’t believe ethical practices bring down corruption. It is certainly not true in a country like India. If it were so, the corruption would not be so rampant. The bitter reality is even the ethical people are either rid of or forced to become unethical.
In a country like India ethical people are targeted; quite strangely, ethical practices encourage and incite the dishonest and unethical people to become more corrupt and unethical. The media is full of news about corrupt practices being done almost in all public and private departments, industry, and services.
Even the Indian Government is riddled with corrupt practices. Indians have seen every conceivable scam and scandal in all key ministries. These scams and scandals tarnished the image of the country nationally as well as internationally. There were so many scams that people lost complete trust in the government. Indian Coal Allocation Scam, 2G Spectrum Scam, Commonwealth Games Scam, Telgi Scam, Satyam Scam, Bofors Scam, the Fodder Scam, etc, are some of the many scams that were done by elected ministers, politicians, bureaucrats, and high government officials. The Indian Law system is so incompetent and vulnerable, that in most of the scams, no politician, bureaucrat, high government officials were punished.
I conclude my views by saying that ethical practices do not bring down corruption at all.
