Three thousand five hundred years ago, the Law of Moses condemned bribery. Over the centuries since then, anticorruption laws have proliferated. Nevertheless, legislation has not succeeded in curbing corruption. Millions of bribes change hands every day, and billions of people suffer the consequences. According to the British magazine, The Economist, as much as 10 percent of the $25 billion spent every year in international arms trade serves to bribe potential customers. As the scale of this corruption has increased, the consequences have become catastrophic.
It is such a clear fact that people tend to corrupt, it is because they want to promote their own selfish desire and satisfy their unending needs, in a very short period of time than ever. Two powerful forces keep stoking the fires of corruption: selfishness and greed. Because of selfishness, corrupt people turn a blind eye to the suffering that their corruption inflicts on others, and they justify bribery simply because they benefit from it. This is because of the nature of human beings—self-oriented phenomena—where people want to meet their own “social obligations” in a way that they may ably meet it within short time before their colleagues, which they may assume that money may put them in a better “social status” and get them “public recognition,” in a society where correct value judgments are dying day by day. We live in a world where society’s feeling towards responsibility is depleting and people are becoming more selfish and self oriented.
