Elocution on ‘How can Values education contribute in controlling corruption’
Good morning everyone present. I feel immensely privileged to have got the opportunity to express my views on ‘Value education contributes in controlling corruption’. Life without values education is like ship without rudder. Values work as guidance system and help us reach our destination. Value education builds character by instilling in human mind values such as patience, honesty, tolerance, sympathy, and love for fellow brethren and sisters. A man of high values can never do any corruption in anything.
A man of values always does what is ethical and right. Values give us courage and strength to resist the evil that always takes us to embarrassment. Ethical behavior is contagious. It attracts everyone’s attention. Everyone appreciates ethical practices. Values ensure eradication of corruption. Values purify one’s thoughts and character.
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. Unethical and corrupt people are immediately fired or suspended.
Ethics are in high demand. Even dishonest people love to have ethical employees. They trust only ethical people working for them. 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.
