    Bribery involves dishonestly persuading someone in power to act in one's favor, usually involving money or gifts. It occurs where salaries are low or personal greed and lack of ethics are present. Bribery undermines democracy, justice, and public services. It facilitates environmental destruction and social issues. In health and education, it risks lives and limits opportunities. Bribery makes countries less attractive to investors and limits economic growth potential. To overcome bribery, institutions must be strengthened, supremacy of law upheld, codes of conduct followed, oversight improved, salaries increased, judiciary restored, hiring based on merit, and awareness campaigns pursued.

    Places
    where
    bribe is
    given
    CAUSES
     Low Salaries: As everyone is finding a way to better their
    living standard as much as they can;. So mostly corruption is
    to be seen where there are people having fewer salaries
    they use corrupt ways to achieve the goal. It is true that they
    do not have any other way to fulfill their wants.
     Personal Greed: that leads to an unrestricted desire for
    money or power, with no regard whatsoever to moral
    boundaries.
     No sense of service when working in public or private
    Institutions: This is seen, for instance, in those who use
    politics for their selfish interests, instead of serving the
    common good through politics.
    CAUSES
     Decline of personal ethical sensitivity: Due to lack of
    education or negative learning experiences, developed by
    downplaying perverse conduct in the past.
     Downplaying or reacting mildly to bribery charges: Little
    power of decision within organizations to penalize, acts of
    corruption to set examples creates an environment
    conducive to increasing corruption.
     Lack of tolerance: Tolerance of people towards bribery,
    complete lack of intense public outcry against bribery and
    the absence of strong public forum to oppose illegal acts.

    elections, leading to undeserved leaders.
    • Corruption in the judiciary compromises justices for innocents.
    • Corruption in public administration results in the inefficient provision of services.

    • Payments made to reputed surgeons by patients attempting to be on top of the
    list of forthcoming surgeries leads to risk of death some times.
    • Bribes paid by suppliers to the automotive industry in order to sell low-quality
    connectors used for instance in safety equipment such as airbags, bribes paid by
    suppliers to manufacturers of defibrillators (to sell low-quality capacitors) leads to
    health risk due to compromised facilities.
    EFFECTS OF BRIBERY
    Education Sector:
    • Contributions paid by wealthy parents to the "social and culture
    fund" of a prestigious university in exchange for it to accept their
    children(admission) leads to minimum seats for capable students
    due to merit less selection.
    • Bribes paid to obtain diplomas. Leads to fake expression of
    qualification during employment.
    Economic Sector
    • Bribery often makes a country less attractive for foreign investors
    and may thus keep down the standard of living in the country.

    compared to eligible, result in less generation of capital.
